Chapter 5 - Famous Bandit on the Loose

"Adrian this a**hole stole the book. We have to catch him." Amy said as she was running to overtake the bandit.

"I did not bring my sword," Adrian said nervously

Amy was even more nervous and looked at him.

"Me too." Adrian screamed and ran faster, "We have no choice but to use cultivation techniques," His eyes looked down and he had a deceitful look. "Even though it will drain me out,"

"You are not obliged to do it, I can still seize him," Amy said convinced of what she was saying.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" she replied firmly

The thief noticed both of them following him with no rest and constraint.

"You stupid kids stop following me." the bandit screamed

Amy was angry and screamed at the bandit, "Give back our book!" The bandit was full of disdain and did not slow down. "This book is very rare and important, I looked at this exemplary for so many years and I can't let it in the hands of shit like you,"

"Adrian stay with me, Okay?"...

"What is going on?" people in the village started asking

"This is horrible, two kids are running against that bandit." Amy had guile in her eyes and murmured, "You will see..."

"Angel wings fly me up in the sky!" As she said so, her wings appeared from her back and she gripped the book and Adrian, then flew into the sky.

GIVE BACK THAT BOOK! the bandit yelled

"Amy, this bandit has dark nature," Adrian saw a familiar mark on his palm. Amy had a similar mark on the side of her neck which was hidden by her long blond hair.

When someone is given dark nature, he gets a mark that looks like an "X" which stays on him. That mark can only be decrypted by a professional player. "I knew it!" she was convinced after seeing a strange mark on his palm

"We have to... leave," Adrian said exhausted

"AHH!" the bandit screamed after shooting a large gleaming ball to both of them

Everybody was horrified at what was happening. When Amy and Adrian were at the point where there was no hope, the unexpected happened.

"Temporal freeze!" a voice cried

As a pre-godly level cultivator, Master Angelica blocked the attack of the bandit and reversed the attack to him then she took both Amy and Adrian to the heavenly temple, leaving behind the valuable book.

"Master!?" Amy gasped as her eyes closed

She easily fell into her hands unconscious and pale.

...

Two days after,

"You are finally awake!" Master said fatigued

"Where is Adrian and where is the book?" Amy asked palpitating around

"Adrian is safe. He's with his master and in good hands." Master said preparing tea

"The bandit we ran after was a dark nature cultivator and he had a special mark on his hand," Amy said firmly as she sat on one of the floor pillows

There was a little table surrounded by pillows as seats. As she served the tea and drank it, she began talking over.

Master had a bit of anger that could be seen in her face and she looked angry. "You have it but it will gradually appear when you will increase your cultivation skills," Amy was anxious and sweated. "Master, I did not know you were a pre-godly-level cultivator."

"Do you know in which situation you have put yourself?" master slammed the table

Amy was trembling and did not dare to answer.

"You were almost going to die. You must be thankful that I saved you."

"I'm... I'... I'm so sorry master." Master sat over her mattress and looked at Amy. "Why did you run after such a dangerous bandit?" Amy confessed sadly, "I wanted the precious book he had stolen and I did not know he was that dangerous,"

"I want to know if I can trust you. All I want is your protection! You're the only student I ever had..."

"I'm so sorry Master. Please forgive me!" Amy said hurling tears from her eyes.

"I forgive you but you will not get out for a month. This is the punishment you are to get." Master Angelica said with sharp eyes.

She then left Amy sitting alone in the temple. "What went wrong with me? I am so shameful of myself and I shouldn't have act like this."

"Because of me, master is worried. What will I do?"

"All I wanted was the book. Now it's gone!"... Amy had an idea which motioned in her mind. "The last time I played, I learned a message sending technique."

"I will have to write to Adrian."

Amy took a piece of paper, a brush of ink and wrote as the following:

"Dear Adrian, hope you are safe. I'm stuck in here for a whole month and you? she wrote with a heart full of sympathy

"On the street where we fought, the book was lost and I wanted to ask if you could search for it, the moment I get back from my punishment. The bandit we were chasing is dangerous and I even think he's very famous. I hope I can trust you.

Big hugs,

Amy"

After she finished writing she cried, "Message spell technique," The paper shaped like a plane and flew right to Adrian's head who was walking down in the village.

"A message?"

He touched the paper which landed on his head. "It came from .... Heavenly temple," Adrian exclaimed as he realized who was the writer

He read the letter and was a little bit sad to know about what happened to Amy. He quickly wrote back a letter for her to read.

Amy received it as soon as possible through her window. "Humm! I can scent his odor from this letter."

"I did not even know people could scent odors in games."

She read the letter as followed;

" Amy,

I read your message. I was so happy you were fine. I will pay attention and search for the book. The bandit who chased us, his name is Traze and he is famous as you said. Recover quickly I will be waiting for you.

Your friend,

Adrian"

"Thank you so much! Adrian" she said sweetly

"You are the only one who helps me here..." Amy sighed and then slept deeply

...

It was night and the sky was dark. Amy was still sleeping and the master entered her room.

"Amy get up!" Master Angelica said

"Master, how can I help you?"

"Time to go and do not thank me, it's the master of your friend who persuaded me," Master said

"Adrian persuaded Master to remove my punishment!?"

"He was very insisting and took the 'occasion' of the instant." Amy heard sounds through her window and saw unusual gleams of lights below the clouds that shaded the village. "What is going on?"

"The annual shooting star festival,"

"There will be millions of shooting stars throughout the sky that you can never imagine could happen,"

"There is a myth saying that the first person to make a wish during the festival will be granted."

"What!?"
