Ths stranger was named Evan Swan . He is used to being living a harsh life . Abandon at birth raised by black market dealers . Then he was rescued by a master . He was trained in the art of fighting and mana . He married when he was 23 years old . He lived a happy life but not much about him is known . No reason is found why he turned into a bandit . And now he has been stuck in the loop of a curse for 3 years .
After seeing the reflection end i couldn't stop but feel empathy for him . He was crying on the spot where the illusion ended .
Evan : Why does it always happen to me (crying )
. How did i turn into a bandit . I had such a nice family . Why . Tell me WHY .
Jay : (Teary) It's okay . What you did was wrong . I know you feel it too . It's okay it will end soon .
Evan : How will it . It has continued for three years . I have always stood at the edge of desert wondering when i will be able to leave .
The moment i left i was back here. I tried to kill myself but ended up here . I tried to end the curse but it all ended me being here .
I am sorry that i tried to kill you . I couldn't stop my anger when i was back .
At this point the outpost had become silent . As all there was the relection of the past .
Jay : We'll help you end this curse once and for all .
Evan : It's okay everyone says the same thing , everyonr tried yet i have been stuck here .
Don't bother trying to save me .
Jay : I won't leave till i have ended your curse .
After hearing this Evan felt somewhat relieved.
Evan : I know you are lying . But still i feel better now .
By the was i am Evan .
Jay : I'm Jay nice to meet you .
After this we tried to leave the desert . Mc was waiting at the gate .
As we left the ground began to shake . We knew what was coming .It was our old nemesis the desert scourge . He was back for revenge .
This time he had been upgraged . Spikes everywhere. It was going to hurt bad . We both took our stances as we withdrew our weapons .
But Evan just stepped forward with his sword . And just swinged the sword . And the desert scourge was in 2 pieces .
Both I and Mc were shocked. How did he even do it .
Mc : How did you manage to kill that darm worm with just a sword swing.
Evan : I used mana and swung it .
Mc : Damn how could be mana used like that !
Evan looked dead close in McElroy eye
Evan : You underestimate mana . It seems you do not fully understand it yet .
Hidden quest : Kill desert scourge .
Quest status : Completed
Quest reward : Hint (Any thread is fine ) .
At the time i didn't notice my phone buzzing i could only look at Evan's bleeding hands .
I tried to bandage it but he stopped me .
Evan : It's fine if it will stop in a while .
Jay : Atleast let me do you a favour .
I couldn't see his hands bleeding and he also had to carry that sword along with him .
I grabbed the spider silk from my bag and i punched a hole in his blade . I passed the silk through it and tied it .
"Here atleast you won't have to carry this sword in your hands anymore ".
Evan : No one has shown me this kind of kindness before . Thank you .
Evan : Because of your kindness i am now free from the curse .
Evan : The thread of kindness . If we meet again in the next life . I will repay it .
He started dissipating into light .
Evan : Thank you .
He completely dissappered from the desert .
we were both very emotional at this point . But we had someplace to be at this time . So we carried on with the memories we made here .
Rememiscent End .
