Chapter 38 - Chapter 38. Off We Go?

"And that's why we need to find [The Fortress That Lies on The Clouds]." Vas Allen said. Grae Jane was surprised by what Vas Allen just say, how much tragedies they have gone through just to get here.

"Woah… that's concerning." Grae Jane have no words, she basically seeing four kids risking their lives to go find a myth. She wanted them to stop but she felt as if… she can't make them.

"These four kids, aren't normal kids… they're stronger and yet they choose to save the lives of other despite some having tragic past." She thought to herself.

Looking back at the house, she saw Kim walking out of the house. "Did you find the two kid?" She asks, Kim nodded his head and pointed in the direction of the horse.

"Woah, I didn't even see them~" Vas Allen said with a smirk. "Did you guys make me go back to the house just to talk?" Kim asked, Vas Allen of course, deny this. "Nah, we just didn't see them~"

Kim sighed but smile afterwards, "Well because of that, I did have a great conversation with Simon." He said looking toward Grae Jane, she smile at him and replied back with.

"I'll bet, my husband is a good person to have a conversation with." She giggles softly, Kim nodded his head.

"Welp, Jane… We will have to go now." Grae Jane didn't want them to go, she didn't want a bunch of teen with kids traveling but she knows that she won't be able to stop them.

"Yea, good luck on your journey and stay safe." Kim looked at her and replied back with, "You too." Before walking toward the horse and the carriage.

"How did you- no, nevermind, must've been my husband that told him that… thank you and once again stay safe." She muttered under her breath, Vas Allen followed behind Kim not until he waved goodbye to Grae Jane then left.

Grae Jane slowly walked back to her house, with a smile, she thought to herself, "I'm so glad I met all of these great people…" before entering her home, she waved goodbyes to Kim and Vas Allen then inside her house she went.

"Can't believe we've been here for six days…" Kim said.

"Yeah, it's was longer then what we initially thought but we did met a great couple." Vas Allen said.

Kim and Vas Allen heard a voice calling out to them, "KIM, VAS!!! Did we ever have a name for the horse?" Luc Mugen asked of them.

"Uhh, I don't think so?" Kim said while looking at Vas Allen as he shrugged in confusion, Kim then looked back at Luc Mugen and asked why he ask them that?

"Well, me and Uma thought up a name for it." Kim smile and asks what the horse name is.

"Barbella!" He say with a brightly lit glowing red eye.

"That's a good name, how did you thought up of it?" Kim asked.

"Well, it was Uma that mostly thought up of it, since she saw that the horse was female so she wanted to called it Bella but I want to call the horse Barina." Kim nodded along what Luc Mugen was saying, Luc Mugen Continued.

"So we decided that we would take the bar from Barina and put it with Bella, boom, thus the name for Barbella!" Kim patted Luc Mugen head and say that it's a good name.

Luc Mugen looked at Vas Allen, waiting for what he going to say about the name. "I also thinks it's a lovely name." Vas Allen nonchalantly said as he also patted Luc Mugen head.

The three walked toward Barbella and there they met Uma Micheal standing there. "It look like once again yall having fun without me." Vas Allen shakes his head and explain that Kim was actually looking for her and Luc Mugen.

Uma Micheal likely scoffed at them and and asked Kim if they are going to leave.

"Yea, we're leaving to find some place very special." Kim said. Uma eyes lit up but she didn't show it on her face, "That's cool, I guess." She said.

Kim smile and got on the carriage, Vas Allen grabs the reins to guide Barbella on where to go. "Off we go guys?" Vas Allen asks. The three that were inside looked at him and smile, "Yea, off we go!" The three say in sync.

Vas Allen tugged the reins, signaling Barbella that it's time to go, he steered the horse in the direction Grae Jane was telling where the traveler was.

The four journey til it was nights where the kids was sleeping but Kim was still awake. Kim saw that the kids was cold so he decided to cover them with his own blanket to make them warm.

"Hey Kim." Vas Allen suddenly called out Kim name. "Yea, what's up?" Kim said.

"Next time, please don't put yourself in danger again…" Vas Allen said to Kim was was quiet for a moment, Vas Allen continued, "We were real worry about you."

Kim continued to stay quiet, not knowing what to say but he do know what to do. "I'm sorry Vas, I'm sorry." Kim said, "I- I don't know what I was thinking during that time…"

Vas Allen sighed, "You shouldn't only apologize to me." He said looking back at the kids that was sleeping.

"Yea, I was going to apologize in the morning…" Kim said as he scratch his neck.

"I'm not saying this to scold you Kim, I'm just saying this because we care about you."

"I know." Said Kim.

"Because you may not realize it but if you keep putting yourself in danger, do you even care for us?" Vas Allen asked.

"Of course I do…" Kim said softly.

"If you do care, then please take care of yourself, hanging out with with you is fun, you bring smile to Uma and Luc but if you had died, they would be in grief… and so will me."

Kim looked at Vas Allen then at the kids that is sleeping, he took a deep breath before looking up at the starry nights.

"I— Thank you Vas." Kim said before it became silent. Though the silent didn't last long before Kim continued to speak, "In my so called "Dream" I- at first thought it was my dream but it was only a nightmare in disguise."

"In my dreams, I saw you, Luc, Uma and my parents, and there was moment where I thought it was real and there was moment where, you have help me get up…" Before Kim could finish what he could said, both Luc Mugen and Uma Micheal wakes up.

"Are we talking about dreams?" Luc Mugen said but Kim could tell that he was still sleepy. Kim nodded. "Can I tell you about my dreams?" Luc Mugen asks.

"Yea." Kim said.

"While you was sleeping, I had a dream where I went to your parent house, where I watched something on a "TV?" and we would go to your room." Kim looked at Luc Mugen in shocks, Uma Micheal stared at Kim.

"Weird… I think I also have the same dreams as Luc, it felt like it wasn't a dream at all, I had full control of my body… well until Kim suddenly disappeared." She said, Luc Mugen looked at her with shocked.

"Kim also disappeared in my dreams as well…" Uma Micheal liked eyes with Luc Mugen. "Wait, did we go inside of each other dreams?" Uma Micheal asked.

"We must've!" Luc Mugen said all excitedly.

Kim was still shocked, he asks them, "After we gone to bed… what happen after that?" Luc Mugen thought about it for a moment before he said.

"You was gone, everyone was gone… after that it was just a normal dream which for some reason I can't remember." Kim looked at Uma Micheal, "Same with me." She said.

"No wonder why I thought some of those moments were real, because they actually was real!" Kim said softly, his voice wasn't sad but it wasn't happy, it was a bit of both.

"It don't matter now, you're here and safe, that's all that matter." Uma Micheal said, Kim stared at her as if she said something out of character.

"Woah, I only heard something like that twice." Kim said.

"Well- don't expect it to be common…" Said Uma Micheal.

"I'm sorry guys!" Kim suddenly began apologizing to Luc Mugen and Uma Micheal. Seeing this, the kids told him that it was okay.

"Kim! To make up for it, how about you sleep with us!" Luc Mugen said all happily, Kim was in awe before chuckling to himself.

"Yea, you guys always know what to give me as a punishment!" Kim said all jokingly, Kim lied down at the middle of the carriage, on the left was Luc Mugen and on the right was Uma Micheal, tugging his arms as they fall asleep.

Kim struggled to move but he title his head up and looked at Vas Allen. Vas Allen without looking back give him a thumbs up, Kim chuckles quietly and went to sleep.

"Hmmm, so we were all in the same dreams… and at the same time, that's interesting." Vas Allen thought to himself as he continued to steered the horse tot he next town.

"But what did Kim meant by nightmares, did it happen after we all fallen asleep in the dream? How did we get tired in a dream? That don't even make sense!" Vas Allen stares up at the starry nights, the moonlight reflected off his smooth and majestic skin.

The cozy breezes, slowly gust Vas Allen dark hair, "I wonder what we will do in the morning?" Vas Allen asks himself that question before silently sitting there.
