Chapter 4 - A Soothing Memory

"Elize, remember that it's acceptable to let your anger out every now and then; just be prepared for the consequences!"

"Is that why you don't get angry so often because you're scared of the consequences, brother?"

"What! Me? Scared? Haha, no, Elize, I'm not scared at the consequences."

"Why don't you get angry then?"

"It's simple, I just don't really like being angry."

"And why don't you like being angry? Because you're scared of the consequences?"

"Noooo, like I said, I'm not scared of the consequences. It's just I don't really like getting angry because this world doesn't deserve something ugly."

"What do you mean?"

"Just go stand up and head outdoor; there you will see what I mean."

Elize gently opened her eyes; the sunlight streaming in through the window next to her and the noise of the people around her woke her up.

"A dream?" Elize asked to herself.

She then looked around at her surrounding, there's an elderly lady seated next to her was conversing with an elderly guy sitting in front of her.

Elize then redirected her sight to the window, where sunlight was flowing in; she could see the sun turning the sky orange and the clouds below it, as well as several birds with long feathers flying close to the window.

Elize quickly turned her head toward the old lady sitting next to her and asked, "Umm, did we already leave the Varbarra borders?"

"Yeah, we already left the Varbarra borders; we are currently inside the Tonotto borders now." the old lady replied as she smiled.

"Haha, you must be very tired; you just slept the whole day; look, it's afternoon now." the old guy sitting in front of her spoke.

"Yeah, I just walked through the sea of leaves this whole morning." Elize said to the old guy.

"Didn't they locate the vallion in the sea of leaves this morning? You're extremely lucky that vallion didn't spot you there." the old lady added.

"Yeah.." Elize responded.

"Did that vallion really destroy the center of the town? I was inside the Drorgship when that happened." the old guy asked the old lady.

"Yeah it did; i see it with my own eyes too. If it didn't die on the entrance, it would no doubt attack the Drorgport next." the old lady responded.

"Did you also see who defeated it? Because I heard it wasn't the soldiers or the hunters who defeated it, just a random stranger, they said." the old man asked to the old lady.

Yeah, it's this girl. I saw her stab that vallion in the eyes." the old lady excitedly replied as she pointed at where Elize was seated.

The old lady then looked at Elize, only to find out that she was not sitting there anymore. "Where is she?" the old lady exclaimed.

"She already left; I saw her going to the deck of the Drorgship." the old guy said to the old lady as he pointed at where Elize was going.

The old lady then slowly followed Elize to the door leading to the drorgship's deck. A wooden door with a glass on top stood in front of Elize; she then held the door handle and opened it slowly as her curiosity about what was on the other side rapidly increased.

As Elize opened the door, she was welcomed with a gleaming sunray in her eyes and a strong breeze rushing over her hair. Elize averted her eyes from the light and continued strolling down the drorgship's deck.

Elize sat down at the very front of the deck as she watched the sun slowly fade away on the horizon, with its bright glare hitting her face.

After a time of waiting, the sun has finally set, and the last rays of sunshine have faded away, replaced by darkness that quickly turns the beautiful sky into a dull-looking one.

The drorg below her, who is carrying the ship behind its back, has suddenly roared. Elize grabs the railings on the edge of the deck and takes a look at the drorg's head.

What she saw was the big head of an old turtle, and the drorg roared once again. Elize was wondering why the drorg kept roaring, so she looked at where the drorg was looking.

The drorg is looking at the clouds at the horizon, and on the clouds at the horizon, a dozen little drorgs suddenly showed up. The big drorg roared toward the little drorgs.

The little drorgs on the horizon didn't hear the big drorg's roar, so it roared once again, only for them to ignore it. After that big drorg shell on its back suddenly glowed, the little drorg on the horizon saw it and quickly flew toward the drorgship.

The shell on the back of the little drorgs also glowed up when they got closer to the big drorg. Their shells lit up the once-very dark sky, revealing the sea of clouds below them.

"Do you wonder why the Drorg shells glowed when dark?" the old lady asked Elize as she approached her.

"To see where they are going?" Elize answered.

"No, they used it to see there special someone." the old lady said.

"Their special someone? Who was their special someone?" Elize asked.

"Their families. Their shells on the back glowed to find their missing families." the old lady said.

"Do you got a missing family?" the old lady asked to Elize.

"Yeah.." Elize said as she leaned at the railings and looked at the little drorgs flying along with the big drorg.

"Do you want to find your missing family?" the old lady asked.

"Yeah, my brother. I want to find him, but that's impossible to do." Elize replied as she looked at the sea of clouds below her.

"And why? Is he on a different continent?" the old lady added.

"He is currently in a different place that no living person can ever reach." Elize responded.

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry for asking." the old lady replied.

The old lady then went back to her seat, leaving Elize alone on the deck of the drorgship. She watched the little drorgs as they all happily flew along with the big drorg.

Elize smiled after watching the drorgs and said, "So you're really scared of the consequences, brother."

"We're now approaching, Cress."
