Third Person's P.O.V.
*1 hour later*
"Have you got everything right?" Ashton asked, looking at Aphelios.
They were both near the river, standing in front of each other.
"Yes, Ashton," Aphelios replied.
"Okay. Please tell me what you are supposed to do." Ashton said.
"I need to build a small home for the two of us to live in, about 30 meters away from the river, which needs to be finished this afternoon," Aphelios said.
"Good," Ashton said. "You may start now if you want."
As Ashton said that, Aphelios nodded and then went near the campfire and then started to clear out the area. Ashton looked at the river, and a few seconds of contemplating later, he walked, following the path where the river flows, which is to the right.
30 minutes of walking later, and Ashton looked around the whole area. Then, he nodded.
'This is a good area to take a break.' He thought to himself.
The area was filled with big and vigorous trees, the humongous river, a few big rocks that are shaped almost like a round chair, and a few different types of creatures. Ashton sat down at the stones and then looked around.
He thought about his little trip, where he found several types of things and creatures. There was this weird green slime that leaves a trail of water behind it, leaves that fly around by themselves, and many more. While exploring, Ashton felt peace and tranquility in his mind and heart, and that made him glad.
He looked around and closed his eyes for a few seconds. Then, he opened his eyes and then took a deep breath. He stood up, and when he was about to walk, a bush a few meters before the chair rocks suddenly started to rustle.
He looked at the bush for a little while, raising his right eyebrow slightly.
'I'm probably just hallucinating.' He thought to himself.
Then, he shrugged everything that he had "hallucinated" and then looked away. However, the moment he took his first step, the bush began to rustle again. Confused, he looked at it again, and now decided to walk near it.
Slowly, he walked until he was fairly near the bush. Carefully, he tried to reach the bush to answer if he is in danger or not. However, when he was still asking himself if everything is fine or not, someone jumped out from the bush, away from Ashton.
Ashton, with a little bit of surprise and confusion, looked at the one who jumped from the bush. It was a tall man who had long white hair. The man wore a white royal robe with blue details and white pants with blue details as well. It also wore white shoes. The man also had several bracelets and necklaces in his body.
The man was quite good-looking, and is around in its late 20s. It also carried a bow in his hand, a sword in its waist, as well as a quiver in his back with a lot of arrows in it. The man looked at Ashton as well, and the moment their eyes met, both of them got ready for action.
The man raised and aimed his bow at Ashton, and then hastily pulled an arrow from the quiver and then placed it on the bow, pulling the trigger. At the exact same time, Ashton raised his left hand as high as his chest, and all of a sudden, 3 Cards appeared out of thin air and then floated on top of his hand.
The man glared at the Cards that Ashton generated, and then pulled the string of the bow even more. When Ashton noticed that, all of the Cards went from the top of Ashton's hand to the front of his chest, almost a yard away from his chest. He placed his hands at his lower back.
"I give these Cards ultimate Curses. Incinerate, Vanish, Punch." He said, and the Cards glowed black.
The moment those words came out from his mouth, the man let go of the string, and the arrow flew. One Card flew as well, and the two met. The arrow landed on the Card, however, the Card, the moment it touched the arrow, melted it in seconds, until the arrow which once was solid now became ash. The Card disappeared.
However, the man was quick enough, and right after the arrow was burned to ashes, it shot another arrow. However, one of the Cards that was floating in front of Ashton flew as well, and when it the two met, the arrow vanished, and the Card disappeared as well.
Right after the two projectiles disappeared, another Card of Ashton flew right away, but the man was not fast enough. When the man was about to pull the string, the Card landed on the man's face, and the Card made the man's face move away aggressively as if it was punched. The Card disappeared.
The man, with the force of the Card that was unknown to him, unconsciously let go of the arrow that he was holding. The man went back into his original position and caressed his face whilst glaring at Ashton. Ashton, however, minded his own business and created another 3 Cards, and when the man saw that, he flinched a little bit, but then glared at him more.
"I give these Cards ultimate Curses. Punch, Kick, Bite." Ashton said, and the Cards glowed black again.
When the man heard what Ashton said, his eyes enlarged, for he knew for a fact that those Cards are not just any normal Cards. He lowered his bow.
"Let this be a warning to you, whoever you might be. Leave this place. Tomorrow at dawn, if we still see you and the other man with you, we will have no choice but to kill the both of you." The man said with a deep tone.
When the man said that, he quickly ran away. Not even 10 seconds and the man was far away from Ashton enough for him to think that he will only waste his time catching up. Instead, he looked at the sky. The Cards vanished.
'Mr. Zghayolnne..." He thought to himself, "wish me luck."
