Chapter 5 - Something Important

Shino set up a quest for Robin who was new to the clan to test her skill, the quest was to take down a Rock Dragon which opposes Robin's element which is lightning, robin thinks it was unfair which it is, but the purpose of the quest was to see how robin acts when the opponents she face counteract her elements, the battle was a one sided and Robin lost and Chico volunteer to take down the dragon.

The three set up camp to the forest to spend the night and retry again tomorrow, Robin who was angered that she can't defeat the dragon and said, "What? Are you removed me now? I'm way to weak I'll probably slow you guys down, It's okay you can cast me aside" Shino then replied, "No, you landed a few major hit on the dragon, but it was not enough to take it down, you have skill, so don't jump into conclusion, we are not going to remove you" Robin was surprise to hear Shino's comment and when she look at Chico, Chico approve that she did her best today. At the next morning the freshly awakened Robin was already fighting a dragon and the power also increased to where the Rock Dragon was bleeding badly, Robin successfully defeated the dragon and saw Shino and Chico applauding at the side, Robin then greeted the two a pleasant morning with a smiling face. Shino on the other hand who was surprised that Robin's Attack was more powerful than yesterday and asked, "Just by sleeping you powered up huh?" and Robin replied, No, actually when I woke up I saw that I acquire new skill, what was it called? Ahh… here it's called 'Lightning thrust'" Shino was amazed that Robin acquired new skill. "Wait, Skills? You saw a Skill? What are you talking about?" Shino asked Robin because he doesn't know about the "skills" and sees Chico who was tip-toeing away the situation and out of Frustration Shino grab Chico and with a devils smile in his face he asked, "What is She talking about Best-Friend?!?" Chico who was scared explain it, "You can buy actually a ring called "Info ring" to the town, me and Robin actually have one, Once you wear it A what we called "Status" will appear in your field of view, the status basically tells you the information you need to know and also at top left corner you will see the names of your party member, they say each person has different Status screen, I forgot to tell you that" after hearing it Shino sat down disappointed for he was going around the town for weeks without the most useful thing and thus the trio goes back to town to submit the quest and buy a Info ring. While walking back to the town, Robin asked, "Why did you accept me to your clan and help me? Was it because I'm a girl?" Shino upon hearing does word asked, "You have a terrible past don't you?" and with those few words Robin was shocked because Shino was right.

Taking us back in time before Shino arrive to the Doragon, Robin was part of a clan called Fire Starter Clan, a clan full of joy, and also the clan were Robin grew up, Robin was their ace archer for she can hit every single target all the time. One day after they finish up a quest with a huge prize they went and party, It was a joyful night and Robin wanted it to last forever but reality is harsh, A group of Bandits attack their place and destroys their clan, they murder every single men insight and capture every single woman including Robin, their Leader fought hard screaming "I'll never forgive you for what have you done!!" Their Leader Fought every single of the bandits but their numbers overwhelmed him and decided to free the woman their captured but the only one he manage to free was Robin. A beat up Leader, Wound everywhere and torn up clothes, under the situation he manage to free Robin and said, "Run!!, you need to run Robin" instead of fleeing Robin Picked up her Bow and arrow and shoot a Arrow, The arrow releases lightning that Electrified the nearby bandits, Using this chance she escape with the Leader on his back through the window and she run as fast as she could to the forest. The Bandits pursue them, and Robin with his Leader goes to hiding, but the forest was the Bandits playground and sooner and later they will find them "Please, Go ahead, leave me Robin, I will only slow you down", said the captain but Robin refuses, they Run and Hide until they were cornered to an Ocean Cliff, the last ditch effort was made by the captain, He pushes Robin to the Cliff and said, "Live Robin, No… Live my daughter" Robin who was falling only sees at the top of a cliff a huge Explosion, Robin survived the fall but lost her home and Comrade, She cried, Cried until there were no more tears was left.

"Your Eyes, I can see that you lost something important to you", said Shino and the Shocked Robin came to her senses with those word and said, "You can tell just by looking, how?" Shino smiled and said, "Because, I've been there, Twice, although the second one I didn't even cry" Robin asked "why?" and Shino replied "I don't know why, maybe because I find my reason to stand up and fight again, so you should do the same, whatever your past is, how hard it was for you, you should just stand up and restart again because that is what we lost wants" Robin who thought she will never cried again had Tears running down to her eyes and smiled and said, "Yes, Captain! I'll do my best". Shino who was thinking back before he get to this world said to himself, "I lost everything to get here but I know I can gather up new things, new memories, maybe that was the reason I didn't cry" Shino then look back to Robin and about to say to keep moving but was stop for he saw Robin crying and out panic he doesn't know what to do.
