Mari and Sharry laughed at the boy:
"You finally have a name! It's Chuckles!" they both laughed in accordance.
"You don't like your name?" The mysterious man asked.
"Nah! I love it!" Chuckles responded while smiling.
"Listen to me you three, down by the docks there is a small boat that leads straight. But for now, stay here." the man said while getting up.
"All you people listen to me!"
Everyone looked towards the man and the children.
In the bar where the man was before, Sheath ran outside and looked from his door to hear what he was about to say.
"I am from the 'R'! I have come to this town to complete my journey and choose a place to rest. I have seen the troubles of this town yet-"
But as he was trying to say this, countless amounts of people began throwing rocks at him. Big rocks, small rocks without him even speaking.
He spread out his arms to make sure neither of the children was hit.
"I can defend myself y'know!" Sharry yelled.
She ran up and grabbed a nearby piece of wood, covering both Chuckles and Mari from the rocks.
"Thank you." The man said.
"HE'S A GREAT R?!" Michael yelled.
Many of the people who assisted Michael began running up to this man and began throwing rocks or anything they could find.
He continued to stay still:
"This world, there is much to know about it. The ones who are on top say that we lived alone in this world?-" he tried to say but this time he was held down and his mouth was covered.
He burst out of the group of people and shoved everyone away.
While bleeding immensely due to his cuts and scars, he was unable to speak for a little while. After everyone sat in shock for a minute or so, the man turned around and said to Chuckles and Mari:
"Listen, my children, no one will listen to me. But you wanted to explore the Great World right?"
"Mhm!" all of them responded in tears.
"Chuckles, take this." He removed his scarf from his neck and wrapped it around his neck. He also removed his cloak and put it around Mari. Finally, he gave Sharry three bracelets.
"You kids, never forget to remain human." As he was saying this once again he was being held down and his hands were tied by metal padlocks.
While being held to the ground he stated:
"The Great World you wish to explore is here! Listen, people will tell you otherwise and you will be forced to follow the corrupt system the who rules over the earth has set in stone. Do not follow them, be who you are! There are vast oceans and wide mountains. Plains, so many new things. We the great R have discovered something even those who are on high are afraid about. There is a-"
"SHUT UP!" Michael yelled.
"SOMEONE SHUT THIS MAN UP NOW! NOT ANOTHER WORD FROM THIS MAN!" Michael said while grabbing his revolver. Many men stood beside him and aimed their guns at him.
"SHOOT THIS FOOL!" Michael yelled.
"CHUCKLES, Mari! LIVE!" The man yelled.
"YOU ARE THE INHERITORS OF MY WILL!" He continued.
"YOU WILL FI-"
But before he could say anything he was riddled with bullets by 5 men continually shooting at his body. Even after they shot all their bullets, Michael continued to pull the trigger.
Chuckles and Mari stood back in gaze and began to weep.
Sharry maintained her composure on the other hand and grabbed the boys to begin running.
"You fool!!" Sheath cried.
"Were they, the reason you gave your life for huh?!" Sheath continued to weep.
"You, the man who has seen it all. Reduced to this!" He continued.
