The afternoon

Lio looks at Rimy with a skeptisk look. 

Rimy sighs and thinks''What is up with him?''.

''Rimy''Ulne comes up to Rimy.

Rimy''What?''

Ulne''can you help me with one thing?''

Rimy''What thing?''

''Well''Ulne runs over to his bag and takes up the burned rope and gets back to him''Do you know who could have burned it?''.

Rimy''A rope?''

Ulne''Yes, I use it to get down here and well it got burned''

Lio comes up to them and looks at the rope''Well someone with fire magic'

Ulne''Yeah''

''Well it's obvious''Rimy puts his arm together''What else could burn a rope?'

Lio looks at Rimy annoyance'' I don't know, you may know the answer''

Rimy''No''Rimy looks at the burn rope.

Ulne''So no one knows''

Lio'' No sorry''

Rimy''No''

Ulne ''It's fine''He gets back to his bag and puts the rope back.

Rimy walks off to sit on a rock and sighs''It will be fine''He looks at his bracelet

Rimy a sad smile come to his face''I will fix everything'

Ulne come up to lio''Lio?''

Lio looks at ulne''Yes?''

Ulne''Should we move''

Rimy''Yes, Hey rimy!''

Rimy doesn't answer.

Lio walks up to him''Rimy''

Rimy gets out of his thought''What?''

Lio''Are you-''

''I'm fine'' Rimy put his hand in his pocket

Lio''We should move''

''Sure''Rimy gets up''We don't want them to come again and try to kill us''

Lio''No''.

Ulne come up to them''Are we ready?''

''Yes''Rimy walks to the exit Lio and Ulne follow him.

Six hours later.

Ulne bends over and holds his legs''c..can we rest''

Rimy looks behind''Why?''

Ulne''I..I need to rest my feet''

Rimy looks at him with annoycens''You joking'

Lio''Take it easy, we have walked for some time now s-'

Rimy''I don't care, he should be able to walk''He looks at Lio with anger''If we stop they will catch up, and we will be dead!'

Ulne looks at Rimy''F..Fine''

Lio''You don't have to we-''

Ulne''It's fine''He walks over to them while shaking.

Rimy looks at Ulne and sighs''Fine we can rest for 30 minutes''

Ulne''R..really''

Rimy''Yes, I will keep watch so rest'' He walks off

Ulne''I..I thank you''Ulne sits on the ground and Lio looks at him with worry''Do you think you will be fine in 30 minutes?''

Ulne''I hope, I'm grateful he gave us 30 minutes''

Lio''Yes, it is a wonder he could be that kind''

''Yes''Ulne looks at Rimy''Do you think Rimy is a mean person?''

Lio''Yes, he does not care about people, he tried to kill us and was even willing to kill the guards''

Ulne stay quiet

Lio''Don't tell me you think he is a kind person?'

Ulne''I..I no, I just think he is a normal person''

''Sure''Lio put his arms together and looked at Rimy''I don't trust him, he can stab us in the back anytime. He can even kill us in our sleep, it's a wonder he has not yet. He is not normal''

Ulne''Why? Is he not normal?''

Lio''Do you think a normal person wants to kill people? or may use us later on''

''I..I...''Ulne looks down.

Lio sighs''You trust him too much Ulne''

30 minuter later.

Rimy comes over to them''You two ready to go'

Ulne''Yes''He gets up and smiles at Rimy''Let's get going'

Rimy''Why are you smiling at me?''.

Ulne''Because I want to''

Rimy looks at him''You are weird and too kind for this world'' He walks off.

Ulne looks at him and Lio sighs''Don't listen to him, let us just get to the village so we can finally split up with him''. Lio walks off and Ulne follows him.

1 hour later.

Sai comes into the room Ulne, Lio and Rimy were in and looks around''They really think they can escape'' She chuckled.

Jimle looks at her''Sai'

Sai looks behind''What do you want?. Do you want to run off to help that human again'

Jimle''N..No, I just thought we would rest her and eat some food''

Sai''Rest?''

Jimle''Yes, we have walked since morning and not eaten so much'

Sai''Fine, Everyone we will rest and eat for an hour'

They put down the bags and sit down.

Sai looks at jimle''Jimle''

Jimle''Yes lieatunen'

Sai''You know line right'

Jimle stays quiet.

Sai''Why did she take you under her wings?. What did she see in you?''Sai walks up to Jimle.

Jimle''I..I..''

Sai''Why did she-'

Mai''Lieatunen!'

Sai looks back''Yes?''

''Can you help us give the food out?''Mia holds a box.

Jimle''Do you think that day was my fault...'

Flne''No, you try to keep her safe''

Jimle'But-''

Flne''Don't blame yourself for that day'

Jimle looks down''But if I was strong I could have helped more, I could have protected them'

Flne takes her shoulder'' You helped in the best way you could back there'

Jimle looks at him'' bu-.''

Flne''No more but, the only thing you can do is move forward and become better now''

Jimle''How can I? i regret my choices I could have done something! if I was stronger back there!''Jimle starts to cry''I..I wish I died that day and not her!! I wish i could have just gotten up, then froze up!''.

Flne looks at her and hugs her''You don't deserve to die that day no one did and you did your best back there''

Jimle looks down and cries more.

Ten minute later

Jimle looks at a necklace.

Jimle sighs and think''I wish you were here...'

Flne looks at her'' Jimle'

Jimle looks at Flne''Yes?'

Flne''How are you?''

''Better, thanks for the help''Jimle smiles.

Flne''You are welcome'' He smiles.

Jimle gets up''I will go on a walk'

Flne''Okay, be safe''.

''I will''Jimle smiles''I know how to fight''

Flne chuckel''I know, but still''

''I will be safe, see you soon''Jimle waves and walks off.

Sai looks at the necklace and sighs''I still don't understand why you took Jimle under your wings...''She held the necklace harder''Why did you?''Sai looks at the water. When footsteps come from behind.

Sai gets up and points ghost.

Jimle''D..Don't shoot me!''

Sai takes her hand down and the ghost vanishes''What are you doing here?'

Jimle''I just was going on a walk and saw you here so I thought I would check on you'

Sai''Okay, I'm fine so you can keep on going''Sai sits down and looks at the water.

Rimy ''Tsk fine''He let down Lio and put him on the ground.

Lio gets up and cleans off the grass''Well this was something''

Ulne let out a sigh of relif''Thanks god...''

Rimy gets back and puts his arms together and thinks''I hate him''He looks at Lio''It's a wonder he can survive this long without annoying the wrong people''Rimy looks at Ulne''That human'' When a light orb flies up to Ulne and lies on his shoulder.

Rimy looks at the orb and smiles''Well this will be fun''He sits down and lies in the grass.

Ulne''you should not have done that''

Lio''I just wanted to know more about that name''

Ulne''But still, be careful''

Lio''I will, and if I would fall from a high place I can stop myself''

Lio''Have it followed you the whole time?'

'Looks like it' Ulne looks at the orb''Do you need something''

The orb flies up to Ulne and shakes up and down.

Ulne''What do you want?''

Lio looks at the orb''What if it flashes us again?.''

 The orb looks at Lio and shakes right and left.

Lio''Sure'' Lio sighs''I will be off to rest, so you can talk to her''

Ulne smiles''Okay, take it easy lio''

Lio smiles''I will''He walks off and Ulne looks at the orb''Do you want something?'

The orb flies off and Ulne looks at it''I don't think it's a good idea to walk away from here''.

The orb flies up to Ulne and flies around him.

Ulne''I..I''

When Rimy comes up to him''Why are you playing with an orb?''

Ulne''You can see it?''

Rimy''Yes, everyone down here can see the orbs'' The orb flew up to Rimy and lay on his head.

Ulne looks at Rimy''A..Are you okay with it laying on your head?''

Rimy looks at the orb''It's fine, as long as it does not do anything''

Ulne''Okay, have you seen them before?''

Rimy''Yes, it was years ago in the Crystal forest''

Ulne''Crystal forest? is it far from here?''

Rimy''Yes, it's 4 to 5 weeks'

Ulne''Oh.. Do you think I will get there?'

Rimy''If you have luck you do'

Ulne''Okay'

Rimy takes the orb into his hands and takes it off his head.

Ulne''You can take it?'

Rimy''Yes?, it's like any other inscert or animal''Rimy looks at the orb' Rimy makes a small smile.

''Come on now hurry up! before they disappear!!'A girl runs away and a boy tries to catch up to her''W..Wait for me!''

Rimy''I will not, I don't like breaking my promise to others''

Lio''Sure, but you can kill people huh?''

Rimy''If I get attacked I get to defend myself, and i don't care about people down here, they down here are annoying''

Lio''Well people are nice down here and some can be annoying but still, it's not right to kill anyone''

Rimy''I have not killed anyone, I'm not that stupid''

Next morning

Rimy gets up and looks around to see Ulne and Lio still asleep, he takes up his phone and sees that the clock is seven''Welp, let's wake them up'' He walks over and does a waterball and shoots it and Ulne and Lio.

''Ahh!''Ulne gets up''W..what is h..happingin?''

Lio sighs''Rimy''

''R..Rimy''He looks and sees Rimy with a smirk on his face''Morning you two''He waves.

Lio is doing a small fire''Do you want to get warm'

Ulne''Sure'' He walks over to Lio.

30 minute later.

Lio and Ulne come over to Rimy.

Rimy''Here''He throws some sandwiches at them.

Ulne''Where did you got this?''

Rimy''I bought them in a village not far from here'

Ulne''Is that the villages we are going to?'

Rimy''No another one'

Lio''You could do it in 30 minutes?'

Rimy''I use magic so it's not that hard'

Ulne''You can teleport magic?'

Rimy'' No, I can not do that'

Ulne''Then how could you get that?'

Rimy smiles''I can show you'' He is doing magic and a small orb comes out and he points at an ametrine crystal. Rimy''Go''.

The orb flies off fast so the wind catches up. Lio and Ulne look behind and the orb comes back with an ametrine piece. Rimy take it''See'

Ulne''That is awsome!''

Rimy''It's nothing, here Ulne'' Rimy throws the crystal part to Ulne and he takes it''Why did you''.

Rimy''Just as a gift'' Rimy walks off and they follow him.
