"I heard that you were looking for me?" Skylar asked, approaching Luan, who was now bleeding on an arm, holding himself with a knee and hand.
"How did you find us?" Luan asked, confused.
"What can I say...? The nature spoke with me."
"If you know about everything, why didn't you appear sooner?"
"There was someone I do not wish to meet." Skylar said.
Tim went running to where his brother was pulled in and while Skylar and Luan were talking, Emma took the opportunity to take Flower with her.
Skylar checked Emma, softly, as she took the body on her back.
"I don't care why you are looking for me. O just came to get something of my wish."
"And what would it be?" Luan asked, annoyed.
"You have to wait to see. Farewell, Lucas."
As he said that, a root grabbed him by the waist, pulling him to the darkness.
"She took Flower! I was so worried with the boys that I forgot about her."
"We will continue the travel. We must have the help of Skylar."
"Didn't you hear him?" Tom asked, worried "He doesn't care if we want to meet him and now we don't have Flower."
"Then... We must change plans..." Luan said, sitting down on the ground.
He looked over to his arm and sighed, not knowing what to do, he wasn't a doctor.
"I will take care of it." Tom said, blushing when Luan looked into his eyes "It is a really bad wound."
"Do you think he will hurt Flower?"
"Luan... If you must know... Skylar is known for kidnapping young woman..."
"To be his slayer?" Exila finish his sentence"I know that it isn't for pleasure, is more of..."
"To have beauty maids." Tim said, smilling "Jist like this one."
Luan looked over to the both of them and they got quiet, then Exila slapped Tim in the head, angry.
"Don't say unnecessary things. We don't know each other that well."
"I think there is only a way to go."
"What is it?" All the others asked, anxious.
"We will go to the championship without training."
Everyone was shocked as the words left Luan's mouth, he wasn't strong enough to evem cast a spell.
"And how will you manage to win without anyone to find out about you?"
Luan bite his under lip without answering, then he looked down. Tim went near Luan and gave him a punch on the top of the head, making Tom fly and let the needle go, almost ripping the wound again.
"Did you forget I was here, stupid?"
"Kinda... He was being a dumbass, I had to punch him for it."
"Whatever the reason. He is hurt, try to keep calm."
Tim turned around and went to talk with Exila. Tom got up and cleaned his clothes with the hands and walked over to Luan.
"Don't take it to hurt. He is an emotional person."
"Don't worry. I figured it already." Luan said with joy "he is a boy with a lot of energy, isn't he?"
"Luan... I know that ir sounds weird but... Can you see Lucas memories?
"Why?" Luan said, surprised and confused.
"Timothy... He was... Right.... Forget about it."
"He liked you as well. I am sorry for what happened to him."
Tom smilled but his eyes didn't, making Luan look away not knowing exactly what to say, he felt guilty.
"I am sure that it wasn't your fault. Dont need to feel guilty."
"You could tell?" Luan asked, lightly patting his own cheeks.
"I know Lucas body very well. He was a quiet boy and didn't like fighting..." He said with a sweet smille, while placing the bandage on the arm.
"If you want to know... He has kept you in his heart. I can feel it."
"Do you mean it?" Tom asked with stars in his eyes "I thought you don't liked things like love..."
"Yeah. I closed up after some years."
Tom gave Luan a hug and then pushed himself back, looking away with his cheeks red.
Luan wanted to say something but he felt that it wasn't right, not after the talk they had seconds before.
Exila and Tim smilled to Luan when they saw Tom embarrassed, and the other understood why they reacted like that.
"You are a good friend."
"Am I?" He asked more to himself.
"Why are you asking, weirdo?" Tim said.
