"What are you doing here?" Sawyer asked him, it was quite rare for someone to visit him and he was quite curious with the young man in front of him.
"I've heard from Chris that you've told everyone a story about someone who could kill an army with only his finger, can you tell me more about it?" Arok didn't say any nonsense, he wanted to know the story as soon as possible.
Sawyer raised his eyebrow, "Why do you want to know? Aren't you gonna think, it's bullshit like everyone?"
"I don't care if it bullshits or not, let me decided that after you told me!" Arok said he had crazed look on his face, he was very desperate, he would do anything in order to get his power.
Sawyer looked at him for a bit, he felt chill when he heard his voice, he felt very old since a small kid in front of him could make him scared.
"What's wrong? Did you need your sweet nap or something? Well, you're elderly after all," Arok teased.
Sawyer twitched his lips, "FUCK! I CAN STILL FUCK 10 WOMEN EVERYDAY!! I DON'T NEED SWEET NAP!!"
"Whistle, good, tell me the story now," Arok said.
Sawyer snorted, he felt being insulted by this young man, he wanted revenge, "help me to take care of my garden then I'll tell you the story."
Arok raised his eyebrow, "Don't joke with me old man!!" He took his machete and decided to threaten him, he didn't have time to take care of this garden.
"Hmph, you want to kill me? Let see if you can?" The air around the old man started to change, his small body started to get bigger as if a mountain. Sawyer wanted to show Arok that he was an only small child in front of him. He put pressure on this boy and hoped for him to realize his mistake, 'Let's see how you cope with this.' He was curious how was Arok reaction when he did this to him.
Arok shuddered he wasn't scared but he was excited, he didn't expect there would be a real superpower in this world.
Sawyer felt disappointed when he saw Arok was shuddering, he thought Arok was scared after he showed something like this to him. He wanted to stop his power until Arok raised his face and hugged him suddenly, he had a smile on his face and very excited expression. He felt weird when he saw this expression, 'What the hell?'
"TELL ME!! I'LL DO ANYTHING!!" Arok was very impressed, he wanted to know what the hell was that but he stopped when he started to feel there was something wrong in his words, he needed to change it, "I'll do anything as long as it isn't sensual request," he didn't want to become to enter the bed with this old man.
Sawyer twitched his lips, "FUCK!! I'M NOT INTERESTED IN MEN!! GO TAKE CARE MY GARDEN NOW!!"
Arok sighed in relief, "Good, I'll help you to take care of this garden for you," he hurriedly went to the garden to take care of it.
Sawyer shook his head, everyone was family in this bandit group, he didn't mind to take care one or two members, though, he didn't expect for Arok to show that expression to him, in his mind there were two possibilities, it was whether Arok was very scared until he became numb or he was very brave.
Sawyer sat down on the bench and looked at him, he felt like his days would become interesting in the future with Arok around him.
---
Arok took care of his garden, he didn't think it was very hard since he would get his reward when he was done this job. He needed to finish this job as soon as possible.
"DON'T BE CARELESS!! I'LL TAKE YOUR MONEY IF YOU MAKE ONE OF MY VEGETABLE DIED!!" The old man roared to him.
Arok sighed and did his work more carefully, Sawyer nodded in satisfaction and kept looking at him. He kept roaring to him when Arok made mistakes.
A few hours had passed since Arok had taken care of this garden, he was full of sweat and the temperature was cold since the sun had almost passed down.
"You can stop now," Arok heard Sawyer's voice and stopped, he knew there wasn't any medicine in this place if he was sick no one knew the consequences. He walked toward Sawyer who had already burned the wood to warm himself.
Arok sat beside him and started to ask, "Can you tell more about that story?" He felt calm after his gardening activities, it was like some articles he had read in the past, a human would feel calm if he had something to do in his life.
Sawyer didn't answer him, but he looked like he was trying to remember something. He sighed several times and started to talk about his story.
Arok was by his side and waited for him patiently.
"I think it was 20 years ago, I was still a little boy at the time," Sawyer said.
"Wait! How old are you?" Arok suddenly said.
"I'm 29 years old, what's wrong?" Sawyer looked at him with a strange expression.
Arok felt strange but he didn't say anything, Sawyer was like someone who was in his late 40's but he knew if he mocked him, he would stop talking about his story.
"Nothing, continue your story," Arok said.
Sawyer nodded, "Well, I was playing with my friend but suddenly we heard a scream from outside of the wall, we were curious and trying to see what it was until I saw a hell," he stopped and took a deep breath, "I saw everyone was frozen even their blood was frozen, it was very cold and that ice didn't even disappear until 1 week."
Arok didn't say anything and kept listening.
"I was so fascinated by that scene!!" Sawyer suddenly stood up and he had crazed looked on his face, "I was trying to find any information about that power, I went to every library in my town but I couldn't find any so I decided to become a bandit, I was hoping that I could find information about this power but I needed 15 years to find this information about that power."
"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Arok felt strange.
Sawyer snorted, "No one believes me! They thought I was crazy to think when I was trying to tell them."
Arok nodded to any normal person, they would think Sawyer was crazy, no one would be crazy enough to think about superpowers.
Sawyer smiled, "But you came to me, you have a thirst for power and I didn't mind to tell you, from the book that I've robbed in the past, I've found the information about this power, it was very rare to see someone who had that kind of power in here, there was only one person in several thousand people had this ability, there were many abilities from trash to invincible, and people call it 'MIGHT.'
"Might? Eh?" Arok smiled, he clenched his hands and felt he needed to get this power even if he had to rob it from someone.
