Φ “Hey Orb”

“What is it, Willow.”

“Where the hell are you leading us? We have been moving east for some time, and I swear you told me Deno is to the south, so where are we going? Cause I am pretty sure we’re Lost.”

“Don’t you trust me, Willow?”

“How can I trust you, you have never been there before, so your just as blind as me when it comes to directions in the outside world.”

“That’s rude, unlike you. I at least have a vague idea of where we’re going.”

“And unlike you, I have to find my way back after dropping you guys off.”

“Well then, maybe instead of complaining, you should focus on remembering how we came.”

“I don’t want to hear that from you. Since we started, you have been giving Willow the 2nd half-assed instructions while you have been preoccupied messing with Cyrus.”

“Well, what am I supposed to do? Leave him alone. He is not only a dragon but looks like a hero from all the adventure stories I read. I want to hang him up on my wall and frame him.”

“We have been over this Cyrus is not a toy for your amusement.” Crawling over to them, I say, “Cyrus tell Orb to stop coddling you.”

“But lo-o-o-ok at the smile o-o-on his face”

Looking at Orb’s face, I see the face of someone who has found a new toy to play with. “Cyrus, when you see your sister again, don’t you think she will be disappointed that you still have that weak temperament.”

Looking sad, Cyrus says, “You’re right”. Then while looking full of energy, he says, “Orb, let go of-” but he makes the mistake of looking into Orb’s eyes which are full of tears and stops in his tracks.

After that, Orb starts coddling him more than before, rendering all my talk pointless. Letting out a sigh, I say to Sparrow, “Please tell me where on the right track.”

“Well, Sir Willow, I would say we are completely off course for Deno. Though I believe that was never sir Orb’s destination anyway.”

After feeling disgusted at how this man is talking to me, I ponder what he could be talking about for a minute. As my mind wanders, we move through the grass at high speeds. Willow the 2nd finally got some food, so he is moving faster than before.

After a while, Willow the 2nd stops and starts to whimper. Since Willow the 2nd has been around us he has picked up some minor heroes song words. So I can say to him, “Is everything ok?” but he ignores me even though he can understand.

Seeing this, Orb says, “Willow leaving us here will be enough.”

“Why?”

“If you look over there, you will see a road which means we’re close to my destination. Someone might spot Willow the 2nd, so let us leave ourselves here.”

So, Orb Cyrus and Sparrow hop off Willow the 2nd. Then he says, “Willow, after a week, I would like you to return to this same spot every day with as many carts as you can bring. I know it might be tedious, but since I can’t give you an exact time, this is the best we got.”

“Will do, but be safe and have lots of fun they say with a smile,” so seeing the three of them off, I race away with Willow the 2nd. While running in the opposite direction, I notice that Willow the 2nd is acting more odd than usual. What happened that could of spoked the king of the forest so much?

Φ As we leave both Willows behind, I say to Cyrus, “Sorry, I know I promised to help you look for your sister but here you are being my pack mule instead.”

“I-t-t-t is no problem. I like to help, and these clothes given to me are n-n-nice.”

It seems that Cyrus was given brown clothes with just a ridiculous amount of pockets. Dressed that way, he doesn’t look like an adventure but more like an explorer, which doesn’t fit his image, especially with the giant backpack carrying all our supplies, but he is all smiles, so I guess it is okay.

“O-o-o-o-orb, why are we not going straight to D-D-D-Deno like Willow asked?”

“In one of Capti’s books, it said if you want to quickly move across the east side of Terrafide, head towards the corner of the continent.”

“S-S-S-So, you don’t know where we have headed after all.”

“Adventure is more fun when you have less information,” I say with a fulfilled expression.

After I say all this to Cyrus, I notice Sparrow’s heart rate increases quite a bit. “Sparrow is everything all right.”

“Oh, everything is fine.”

Φ God dammit, this little boy is going to get me killed. I know where we are headed. What kind of utter asshole tells a child to head there. I want to run away, but I can’t upset the brat anymore. I need to win his affection. So, pushing all my fear down, I continue.

Φ After walking, we see a large black structure in the distance. Seeing it, I start to run forward out of excitement. Cyrus soon follows behind me, with Sparrow lagging behind us even with his spirit arts.

Soon we get closer and get a better look at the structure in question. It is an enormous giant metal carriage. It is much bigger than Willow the 2nd at full size. We also see men loading boxes of whatever onto it.

As I walk up to them, one of them says, “It is not every day I see two legacies. I don’t want trouble magnets like you two around here, so could you state your business with us,” in the heaven’s songs

I haven’t had to use this yet. “I hear we could get a lift across the continent here.”

Looking at me, the man in front of the giant iron monstrosity says, “Are you sure about this? I can guarantee it will be a most uncomfortable ride.”

“Will it be shorter than travelling directly across the continent?”

“Absolutely, but as long as you don’t mind your own vomit.”

Confused by his words, I say “Can I get three seats in here then.”

“Are you heading to the bottom of Terrafide or Enotita.”

Enotita is the continent to the east of Terrafide and is just as big, but it is across an ocean from Terrafide. How would this cart get me there at all? I want to check it out, but I must remember my mission. “To the bottom of Terrafide,” while I say this, I bring out the Lupas from the bag Cyrus is carrying and pay the man in front. It is surprisingly cheaper than I expected.

As he lets us in, he tells me, “Make sure you tie yourself down with something. It will increase your chances of survival.”

So, we head into the Monstrosity. As we do, I constantly hear Sparrow’s heart beating louder and louder. When we get in, Sparrow immediately ties himself to the ground with some rather soft-looking belts they had around while I look inside.

They have no distinction between where we sit and the location of the cargo, which is tied down and sealed in containers I have never seen before. There is plenty of belts like Sparrow used to tie himself down. To be honest, I doubt these things would keep anyone secure. I was planning to follow Sparrow’s lead and tie myself down, but that is the boring thing to do, so I move around and explore this monstrosity of an object.

After running around for a while with Cyrus close behind me, I see something that looks like a big window staring straight through it. I see what. I believe there is a giant derpy-looking purple bull with four horns and is just as massive as the object we are in. I think this must be the thing that pulls us, but it sort of looks overweight there isn’t any way this can pull us.

While I admire the stupid but adorable bull outside, I hear someone shout, “POWER”.

Hearing this, the Bull stands us, and suddenly its whole body becomes ripped with muscle as a solemn expression appears on its face. Soon afterwards, it starts to run at full speed, so fast that this giant cart is pulled along with it at blinding speed.

As we move, I can feel my feet sinking into the ground, so I freeze my legs to the bottom to let me stand up straight, but it is to no avail that I am sent flying back by the sheer force of our motion. While I am sent back, Cyrus catches me and holds me still, looking at him. He seems completely unbothered by this. “Isn’t this tough for you.”

“No-t-t-tt at all.”

That is a dragon for you. But to ensure that Cyrus won’t start slipping back, I freeze his legs to the ground to give him more stability. While moving at this speed, I think, isn’t this extremely dangerous? What if we crash into something, or wouldn’t the bull and this giant object cause huge problems with how fast were moving?

But suddenly, I see the bull jump into the air with the carriage and, using its pure strength, kick the air so hard we start flying. The physics. This can’t be possible, but despite what I believe to be possible, the bull carriages us into the sky with itself higher and higher. As it those this, I start feeling more and more anxious, but as we reach above the clouds, suddenly, all of that is replaced with excitement.

The bull then runs downwards at an angle, moving faster due to the forward motion. And as we start seeing the ground, the bull begins to curve its trajectory coming in perfect alignment with the ground then it starts to slow down bit by bit. As we stop, I turn to Cyrus and scream, “THAT WAS SO FUN! Let’s DO IT AGAIN, BUT LET’S GO EVEN HIGHER NOW.” I feel joy in every little crevice of my body.

“B-B-B-but Orb our mission.”

Oh crap, I forgot about that. “Well, let’s simply get this bull on our way back then.” As we headed out, we passed by the section Sparrow was at. I see him unconscious, covered in his vomit. I freeze his vomit and pick him up to exit. When we hop out, I ask the man who let us in, “Hey, how can this bull travel like this.”

“Well, the bull is a cursed beast.”

“Cursed beast?”

“You don’t know what that is. I thought it was common knowledge but whatever. This bull has a curse on it that makes light things hard and heavier. It also does the opposite for hard things. It makes them lighter and softer. So, this heavy iron cart becomes as light as a feather.”

So that’s why the ground around me started to sink, “Would we be able to get a lift back later?”

“Sorry, but we only follow one route, and we move from Enotita to the position we were at last time. So sorry, I can’t help.”

“That’s ok, but how far from Deno are we currently.”

“About two hours by cart. Also, when in Deno, I would suggest keeping a low profile. Some people would love to take you two.”

We should be able to make it there in no time. “Thank you for the transport and the advice,” I say as Cyrus, and I run off to Deno as fast as we can.

While running, I say, “Cyrus you’re fast. Even using my legacy; you can keep up with me.”

“Y-y-y-you think so.”

“Yes, I do, and you can maintain that speed while carrying Sparrow,  you are pretty amazing.”

Cyrus smiles in response to my words, but while we talk, I suddenly hear Sparrow wake up and say, “Please slow down, or I am going to get sick again.”

“No, can do. I am just too worked up for that, so put up with it,”  and with that, we keep going as Sparrow gets sick again.
