"...Now, did you calm down already?" Azzy says with a tender tone as he is seen patting the amnesiac man shoulders in order to comfort him.
"Y-yes, better now..." Even though the man calmed himself, he still had tons of questions. Another world, huh? How was my life back then? How about my family, my friends?, why are the clothes i'm wearing so rare?, why nobody searched for me in 2 years?, why am I being told this now?, why is this happening to me?
The boy notice the mood and tried to ask the same question as before.
"What is your name?" The blonde asks innocently.
"...I don't know." The man responds with a serious gaze.
The boy is taken aback by this revelation but decides to compose himself for now.
"Alright then, let's call you..." He looks around to try to get ideas. Local Shop? Won't work. Trees? Eh, maybe...wait is that... he looks with a shocked expression at what he is seeing A squirrel? Maybe if I play around a little bit...
"Marmot, sounds good?" Although the name was ridiculous the boy seemed to have really thought it was a good idea.
"No." Thankfully, the nameless man responds in less than a second, with a deadpan clear on his face.
"Ok then, back at square one..." A little taken aback by the instant rebuttal the blonde seems to go back to thinking about a appropriate name.
"How about you let me choose?" The amnesiac said with sweat on his forehead I don't exactly plan on going around with an animal's name...
The man looks around and thinks back to some things he learned about when he first wake up in the forest
§[TWO YEARS AGO]§
After waking up his first challenge was localizing himself.
Lucky for him, there was a VERY BIG sign indicating towards the closest village.
"Village? What is a village?"
The sign didn't help very much though, since the man still had to remember the meaning of some words.
...And apparently, he also needed to learn directions, since he had somehow managed to walk in the opposite direction of the sign.
Walking clueless around proved to not be the wisest of options since he was currently running from a mix between a bull and a sheep.
"AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Of course, he had no idea of what those animals were, making the situation more terrifying than it had to be.
While waving his arms around like a rag doll, he overlooked a strange-looking flower in his path, stepped on it and was enveloped in a kind of cocoon.
The culprit was soon revealed to be a gorgeous lady with her red hair tied into a bun, she had a soft look on her green eyes, wore a sparkling red dress and red high heels. She was standing on top of a tree branch with an indifferent expression.
The monster tried to jump in her face and attack her, but she effortlessly managed to completely destroy it's head with a swift kick of her heels, transforming the entire creature into blue little orbs and proceeding to absorb them.
After the little show, she made a downward movement with her hand making the cocoon trapping the man retract.
He came out of it breathing heavily and looking at the girl with a frown.
"Sorry for the trap, it was supposed to catch someone else..." She spoke with with calm but there was a little hint of annoyance in her voice.
Jumping off the branch she extended her arm to him.
"Take this as compensation." She opened her palm and a flower magically grew in it.
"Erm...wuat wuord normalie yused in this situaytion?" The man tried to sound serious but his spelling mistakes could only prompt a very loud laugh out of the lady.
"Quite the character, hihihi." Managing to compose herself she gently thrown the flower in his direction making him panic and desperately try to catch it. "This is a lotus flower, one of my favorites, take this as a sorry for imprisoning you in that cocoon. And answering you question, the word used when you feel gratification is 'thanks'...although I didn't thought I would need to explain it to a grown man..." She whispered the last part so that the man couldn't hear it.
"T...h...a...n...k...s...thanks." He said embarrassed with a blush on his cheeks making the girl giggle in response.
"Quite the character indeed..." She turned around from him. "Hope to see you again!" She exclaimed before jumping really high and disappearing from his vision.
§[PRESENT DAY]§
"So you didn't know how to talk and yet you somehow got have more charm than me?That's embarrassing..." Azzy said with a blush of his own looking down with nothing but sadness.
Choosing to ignore his comment the man looked at him happy and smiled.
"Call me Lotus."
...
In another part of the village the pale man and his follower with a hoodie were seen talking to a certain long nosed guy.
"Did you see anyone shady lately?" The zombie-like guy asked politely.
"Fuck off, dude, I got nothing on me!" The big nose guy retorted with a worried glance and evident fear on his eyes.
The man in hoodie narrowed his eyes and decided to intervene by swiftly running over to the man and holding him by the neck.
"H-hey, hands off!" He tried to beg but it was too late, since a second later he was shown with several holes in his body, his eyes turned dark and his mouth was wide open, yet somehow, the attacker never moved an inch.
"Kurb...You didn't had to do that, someone could have seen it and reported, we can lose our position as ELITES if you keep doing such reckless actions." The pale man looked at his partner with a stern look.
"Sigh, fine, Mek, I will try to be more comprehensible." He finally let go of the mans body and dropped it into the ground. "Clean it up, please."
Mek raised his hand and pointed his finger at the corpse making the body start to slowly compress until it turned into a small ball the size of a baseball one, he walked over to the ball and threw it into the air.
He proceeded to make his entire right arm a baseball bat and waited patiently until the ball fell from the sky, and when it did, he hit it with his arm making the meat ball fly into the space.
"Let's keep going, I sense a strong presence nearby." He said with a proud tone. My aim is improving, this could be useful to take him down He looked at his normal hand and clenched his fist.
"So it isn't just me? Good to know, let's try asking other civilians." Kurb said calmly but inside he was pretty worried. This revenge thing won't end good for you, Mek...
Little did they knew the guys they were searching for just passed by them with fake googles and mustaches.
Completely unnoticed.
