Chapter 73 - Volume seventy three

His party members was at lost of words, cause they never graded of that name. It's been a while since I heard of it. She changed her name back to her birth name after the incident of Adamsin, she didn't want to be associated with him anymore. Even though he loves him like a brother she knew that, once he lost his family that image of Adamsin was gone. " who in the Fuck is the Gust of Wind!, if that's not the most stupid name I've ever heard". I can agree with him that her nickname wasn't the greatest at the time she got it, she got it cause all she could muster was a strong gust of wind. With time at her disposal she grew stronger with her blade, how long has it been since I've seen her in this state. It's not she actually cares about the state of the world. So why now, all because she saw a glimpse of what has been happening for the past fifteen years. Even if she wins against the paladin it still doesn't change the fact that. What he is doing is nothing different than the rest of the world has done, it maybe a stepping stone for change. I'm glad that she finally wants to stand up for the weak just like me, but picking moments to do so isn't the same as me. I do it whenever I have to do it, not when I feel like it. The paladin just laughed it off, while his party members came closer to me. I can't believe what kind of emotions that they are experiencing, majority of their life has been neglect. I need to ease up their tense bodies, " why hello there my name is Jim, but people called me Jim the crusader. So what is your name?!". They both clinched each other out of fear of my voice. I didn't even raise my voice, I do have the same tone of voice as the paladin. So it's probably a reminder of him, " how about this what is your favorite kind of hobby?, or kind of food you like to enjoy?". The best thing for me to do for them is too change the subject to an enjoyable one. The smallest one lunged to me crying into my shield, his forehead made a thud sound against my shield. " my name is Jake shulger, is your friend going to be okay. I don't want her to get hurt cause of our weakness, but she isn't wrong about what he does to us behind lock doors. He promised us that he would give us money if we joined his party. We needed money sir!, I have a question for you though why do this much for us!. You don't know us we could be killers, rapist, animal abusers. I don't know why she joined, maybe she was just tired of asking for scraps of food. I missed asking for scraps, at least back then I wasn't molested.". I wanted to cry so bad for them, these are just children that no nothing. They are still learning from right and wrong, I'm afraid that they will never know truly what is right and wrong. Thats the problem being raised in this type of world your sense of morals are lost. Me showing emotions won't change what they had experience though, they would probably want pitty. I think it's too late for that though. The girl grabbed my left leg, dropping down to her knees begging me. " please help her win!, I don't want to go back with that man. He is a evil man, I'm tired of being used everyday. I had my purity taken away from me!. Do you ever think that I can ever get that back from him?!, please sir tell me that I can get that back at least!". I'm trying to think of what to say to make things better for them, what can I say to them to make things look better for them. I'm at a lost for words, I may have saved a lot of children from their path of corruption. But I have never heard their story, or their path. I kneeled down to their height and embrace them. It may not seem to be a lot of me do so, it may be the best action for me to take. While hugging them I whisper to them, " it's okay know you can let it all out know, he won't hurt you anymore. As God is my witness I won't let anyone ever hurt ever again, so for right now you can be vulnerable. It's okay too cry!, I have Faith in Autumn that she will come out of the duel the Victor. If she doesn't then I will win against that foul man!". They just cried into me finally letting to strong front go, this man has to be defeated today. I can't let him hurt another child just for his sexual urges, the paladin shouted out. " lighting toss!", his spear after tossing in at Autumn was flickering off shockwaves. He attack was astonishing to say at least, who would have known that he could have done this. Honestly I thought that he was all talk, you let his mouth do all the talking. While the spear came twirling at Autumn, I caught her smiling at the blade. She was tapping her foot into the sand underneath her. Why isn't she moving out of the way from the spear, why did she put herself in such of a disadvantage in this duel. In my confusion the wind slowly began to pick up. Seconds later the wind became as sharp as a blade, I covered the children behind my shield. The spear that was hurled at her, was cut into twelve pieces. The spear flew away once it was cut into piece, the paladin hands were cut. I was wondering how he was still standing, that when I realized that. His body slowly unfolded due to the amount of cuts to his body.
