47 The Departure... For One (2/2)

How strong did he have to be to be able to stop me from moving, without being awake? I'm pretty sure that he'd done that subconsciously just now.

”I see,” I respond as I move back towards the bed, rubbing the bracelet around my wrist. I could feel a good bit of rage emanating from Callista.

Rasing his head he gives me another apologetic look, before he pulled something out of thin air and tossed it towards me. I caught it easily, when I looked down it was a bracelet, it was simple it depicted a snake swallowing itself.

”And what this?” I ask twisting the bracelet in my hands.

”It's so you can communicate with me if some problem arises, I've actually got to leave this world,” he says.

I looked down at the bracelet and then back at him, he was leaving already. He got on my nerve and did a lot of things that would make someone distrust him, but in the end, he'd helped me out a lot once we'd gotten to the town.

It was weird to think that'd we say goodbye to each other, without even really having known each other for more than a day or so.

”Where are you going?” I ask looking at him, he's got a small smile on his face.

”I need to head back to the Murderous Night, it's the world that I was trying to clear before I ran into some unfortunate events.” He didn't elaborate about these unfortunate events, but I didn't see a need to pry about it.

”Is that somewhere I could go?” I ask him.

A hard look passed over his features but vanished and the cool smile replaced it, ”I don't think you should head to that world just yet, it's not a place for beginners to travel to. You should keep leveling up and gaining for skills and combat experience,” he says dismissing the idea.

I figured as much, it didn't sound like a place that I would want to venture to either way in the end. In the end, his words made perfect sense.

”When are you leaving?” I ask, twisting a strand of hair around my finger.

”Today, that's why I came to give you the bracelet,” he chuckles as he stands up.

”Then this is goodbye?” I ask.

”Indeed, but don't worry with your luck I'm sure I'll see you soon. Take care not to lose that bracelet, if you ever run into trouble seek out a Shadow Mercanries outpost and they'll help you,” he says as he walks to the door.

”Remember what I told you, don't go after the Knights of the Goddess,” he threw over his shoulder as he left the room. The door closed behind him.

Taking a deep breath I flop back onto the bed. Looks like I only had myself to rely on, I smile to myself that was more than enough.
