"Thank you." I quickly threw on the outfit and sword. It is a dangerous journey through Misery Mire. I hid Ashy and my shield in the white cloth and started walking. Now that I had water and food in my stomach I could actually think straight. It was more than a day, a hell of a lot more. "Don't worry Sheerow, we will make it." The walk was fierce. The wind howled, as it blew dust into my face. "A...A desert!? When did this get here!?" I checked my map, no desert. "How did the world change?" I stepped further into the desert. "Sheerow! We can't stay out here for much longer! Fly ahead and find shelter!" Sheerow did what he was told. I heard extremely faint chirps and followed them. "A cave! Good job Sheerow!" I pushed through the desert wind and sat down in the cave. "We need to stay here." I pulled out the book and flipped to a random page and continued reading.

Chapter 119



The sandstorm stopped. I walked outside, Sheerow on my shoulder. I was pushed to the sand. "You wanted to leave me!?" Charlotte, shit. "N-No! N-Not at all!" I was slapped in the face. "You liar! Come on! We are leaving!" She grabbed my ear and started dragging me toward the edge of the desert. "Owowowow! Lemme go!" I pushed her off me. "You don't understand! This is my purpose Charlotte!" She put her hands on her hips. "Really? What about me? I wanted to come with you! But you tried to leave me!" I stopped her. "I did it, because... It's dangerous out there! Beyond Lorule, is even more dangerous than actually being in Lorule!" Charlotte frowned. "Fine. But I am sill coming with you." I sighed, I couldn't convince her. No one could. "Let's... Let's just go." She smiled.

"This will teach you not to leave me behind."
