Ronny then called out in a loud voice:
"Hear me all ye stupid peasants! This little prat was eating and stealing from us and you know what we do to thieves?!"
"YES SIR!" the crowd responded. Each person stood there, realising that there was absolutely nothing they could do to save any of the children.
"BRING ME THE MINI STOVE AND SLEDGE!" Ronny shouted out.
"The stove and sledge?!" Mari cried out.
"Please sir, please I beg you to stop, don't do this to him!" he continued to plea but his cry was unheard.
"OI- WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY-"
"Don't Mari. This is my issue. I brought this upon myself and ate all the supplies because of my selfishness." the boy responded while chuckling.
"Don't' be silly," Sharry said softly while knocking the boy's head.
"We're family, we do this all together." She continued.
"Ronny sir, if you're going to give that bot that Mark, give it to me too." Sharry said confidently.
"H-huh? Why are you saying all this..?!" Mari responded.
Meanwhile, in a bar in the distance, there is some laughing from the masters who were leisurely drinking.
"HAHAHA! You are good at gambling my friend! You win every draw!" a man called Sheath said to him.
The man smiled and said:
"Yes but my luck is going to run out very soon," he said while getting up and chugging the rest of his drink.
"I see. So this is where we say goodbye, right?" Sheath responded.
"I've found out a lot about this world. I've lived a long life and found out everything I wanted answers to. But yet, with more knowledge comes more questions. I won't last much longer as you can tell my Dear friend Sheath. Thank you for always giving me these nice drinks." the man said while dropping his cup.
"Now, to entrust my future to the new generation," he said while walking out of the bar and the door closes slowly.
Sheath began to break up in tears and said:
"One day, will you come back to drink my drinks?"
"Mm. I will meet you again, old friend."
The door closed and the man was no longer present in the room. Even though everyone else within the bar was rambunctious and extremely drunk from the immense amount of drinks, Sheath was able to hear the man leave the room very well, in-fact the door closing was much louder than anyone else in the room.
Back to the boy and Mari however:
The boy began to chuckle, and smile.
"Listen, Mari, your dream is true and I share the same dream. Even though Sharry doesn't believe us!" The boy chuckled.
"What did you just say?!" Sharry said aggressively.
The boy, ignoring Sharry continued to say:
"I believe that one day I'll be able to set out to sea and even go to different places in this world. Haven't you read the book of tales! Mountains and vast oceans till the eye can see, birds and so many different species of fish! Mari, there's a thing called a forest and.."
Although the boy began to say so many things, Mari clenched his fist and began tearing up. In his mind he said:
[Father, give me courage.]
"RONNY SIR! IF YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE THAT MARK, GIVE IT TO ME TOO!" Mari yelled with all his might.
"Huh..?! You all think this a joke?!" Ronny said while slapping Mari, Sharry and the boy.
Everyone was in utter shock. For a boy and a girl to volunteer to receive such a mark which could only be given by an extremely hot temperature sledge and the end of it was a mark. This mark was to be seen as this:
It was a cup.
"Alright, I'll give you what you want but you know what this means right?!"
The three of them nodded.
Both boys tops were removed whereas for Sharry they only pulled up her shirt so they could see her back, for dignity sake. They began putting the sledge in the stove.
"W-why..?" The boy asked Mari.
"Because it's like you said. We share the same dream."
In the distance, the man who was previously talking to sheath in the bar began to walk closer and closer eventually approaching the scene.
Ronny and Michael then placed the sledge on their backs, located to the top right of the scapula. They all began yelling in utter pain.
Ronny shouted:
"SHUT UP AND TAKE THE PAIN ALRIGHT?!"
