Ray turned around and walked back. Everyone down below saw his broad back as they felt something. They felt that the leader they had so enthusiastically accepted seemed lonely. He seemed to be carrying the weight of everything over his shoulders and even though he did, he still stood straight and proud.
Somehow, they felt like going after him so they could share his burden with him. They felt like doing everything for him, so their leader could also sigh in relief. They didn't want him to do anything alone.
"Ray Xanders! I openly pledge my loyalty to you," Like the clap of thunder on a calm and clear evening. A boy knelt down on his knees. Tears ran down from his eyes as he beat his chest with his fist.
He was the one to pledge his loyalty to Ray. The boy was the same age as Ray. However, right now; both of them seemed to be miles apart. One seemed to be high above in the sky while the other was on the ground with no hope whatsoever.
