15 A Path Forward Part 1 (1/2)

Delmar City, Clover Forest

Two weeks later

If you tune out the hustle and bustle of the town around you and focus your attention on William Street down at district D you'll find a small bakery field with freshly baked delicious Goods. with two teenage workers at the counter.

”Slow day again ain't it Timothy,” he says while fanning himself because of the hot weather

”I'm not complaining to Max fewer people means less work” Leaning on a walk while eating one of the expired pastries Timothy suddenly belches.

”Dude you know you're not supposed to eat any of the merchandise the boss is going to kill you if he sees you again”.with a visible look of worry on his face Max hopes Timothy would listen to me.

”Relax these are the three-day-old ones that didn't sell they were going to get thrown out anyway, ”with a relaxed expression Timothy disregard everything Max said.

”Think our boss is going to care he is still going to tear you out for lazing around and eating his stuff. You know he is just looking for a reason to fire you. so, can't you for once at least act like your a good employee. like seriously what am I going to do if you get fired”.

Max stairs at Timothy sternly and Timothy stares back at him. They are both trying to make the other back down by using their stairs.

”Alright fine you win I'll throw out the pastries will that make you happy its just a waste of good food”.He threw his hands up in defeat and begrudgingly left the store counter to throw out the three-day-old pastries.

”Thank you” Max replies victoriously. ” yeah, yeah whatever” Timothy's voice is muffled as he was in the backroom stuffing trash bag full of expired pastries.

In the back alley behind Pete's bake Shop, Timothy could be seen throwing a large sack into the trash as he went back inside.

Not long after Timothy left a rugged old man could be seen rushing towards the trash bin filled with expired pastries. It was Little Soul he had been living on the streets ever since he got to Delmar City. He still had not figured out where he lived.

”Score I hit the motherload this time” he was visibly excited as he enjoys the meal.

Little Soul had run out of food a little more than a week ago. living on the streets wasn't easy for him you have no idea where to go and had no money. He managed to find the eclipse Association Trade Center that the guard at the memorial wall was talking about but they wouldn't let him in.

They said he was too filthy to enter and they were right. Even a place that deals with skilled professionals that bring them parts of different creatures and monster cores every day has standards. The only clothes little soul had were the same clothes that the old man got killed in. It had blood stains on it, broken and ripped now it even had some stains from who knows what while he was living on the streets.

He had lost his sleeping bag of about a week ago it got stolen by another homeless man when he wasn't looking. Little Soul tried to chase him down but he lost them in the crowd of people.

He slept in Alleyways away from prying eyes on a cardboard box as a bed and some trash to keep him warm. It got to the point he eventually thought it was only a matter of time before he woke up and found himself spooning a raccoon.

”where did this old man live? I've been walking around so long yet no memories are surfacing. In my world, there are always so many stories about a brave hero getting whisked away to another world. He always gets the girl and everyone loves him so why is none of that happening to me?”.

Depressed he decided to take his dinner for the day and find somewhere quiet to eat.
