191 New Trouble (1/2)

Ares walks out of the house with the help of clutches and his right arm in an arm sling. He instantly gets blown away by the sight his eyes are met with. He finds himself surrounded by grassy terrains all around him with hills, and a small village in the middle. A beach could be seen faintly across the mountains.

There are small, steep trekking steps to get down from the hill that Gus house is located on and the stair way is curved. There is room for only one foot on each step. It really looked like a stairway to hell. It could really become one if they were not careful enough. It is certainly not for the weak hearted. One needs to be careful of the slippery wet steps. And with strong winds blowing in the midway, it is naturally hard for a normal person to crawl down and even harder for Ares to get down as he cannot use the strength of his two feet completely.

”Mr. Ares, would you prefer going down with a rope way?” Gus asks with consideration.

The rope way is good for two people at a time and a person needs to pull the rope to make the wheel move. The cart will travel in any way they chose to move it.

”No no, no need for you to use any force” Alex tries to speak, but before he could - Out of nowhere Yang suddenly takes a long leap and jumps down the hill from the peak without any hesitation.

For Gus who has no idea about the superhuman strategy of advance technology panicked and worried at the sight of seeing Yang jumping down the mountain.

”What?? Mr.Yang! Oh no, this is bad!!” Gus is greatly in shock at what Yang has done and rushes to the cape to see what has happened to him.

Yang is wearing two leather gloves which seem to be reinforced with steel near the knuckles but what draws our attention to it is, there is a red stone on the palms of his gloves which started to emit a red aura, the red mist like aura swirled around his arms like a snake coiling around branches.

Yang seems like he is getting ready to aim at the ground by drawing one of his arm behind him and his other arm in front of him.

*Oomph!” he threw a punch in the air as he approaches the foot of mountain. It's nothing different from him punching the air. Following his punch, a strong gust of wind is created around Yang, as though he has blasted a canon, which decreased the falling momentum of Yang. In mere 5 seconds after Yang jumped off the mountain, he landed on the ground normally as though he is hopping on the ground.

”Wh... what in the world did I see just now?!” Gus panicked upon seeing such power and strength displayed in front of him. He was of all more surprised and curious of the gloves that Yang was wearing, as Yang's gloves are now back to normal with the red stone looking dormant and the aura disappeared into thin air.

”pfff, yeah, what a show off. Doing a little circus trick to impress people. So mature of him.” Tanya says with an arrogant and smirking smile and none of the soldiers on top of the mountain standing with Gus seemed surprised. In fact the look on the soldier's faces shows displeasure.

”Oh! So our tools are fixed this fast? No wonder having you with us is a big relief” Ares praises Alex with his words and starts to climb down off the hill using the small steps.

Even though the winds are strong and the steps are too small that it is hard to climb down for a normal person and for people like Ares its almost impossible. But to Gus's surprise, Ares and the rest are comfortable getting down the mountain without any problem. They do it while talking to each other about different things. Actually, it's Gus who is being left behind unable to keep up with the soldiers as he keep rushing down to catch up with the soldiers.

”Oooof! It was easier than I thought it would be, eh? Now, my saviour Gus, let's go see and explore the island” Ares is moving all around in excitement and jumping around like a kid, as if he wasn't hurt at all.

”Cap'n are you really hurt?” Albert asks with a smirk and suspicion written all over his face while Ares nervously just laugh it off without saying a word.

As they continue to walk, the soldiers comes across the dogs and hens that welcomed them on the streets. The people too started recognizing the wounded soldiers that were washed ashore. Everyone started to greet them and wish them to recover soon. Each of the villagers tried to grab and take the soldiers to their houses as guests, to introduce many things to the soldiers as they walk by.

”We also have guinea pigs over here.” A women says while pointing her finger towards a fence and a little garden with a little house built for guinea pigs.

”Guinea pigs? Oh wow guinea pigs, I see them in the garden.” Ares face lit up as he see guinea pigs in the lady's garden.

”You don't see guinea pigs in cities and concrete jungle nowadays.” Alex says.

”But why Guinea pigs? Are they just your pets?” Tanya asks the lady who showed them.

”Yes...” The lady replies with a smile.

”Oh wow! This lady also has some vegetables and mint leaf growing in her small garden” Ares talks excitedly like a little child.

”Are you cultivating on this land?” Yang asks the lady.

”Yes, me and my sister Tisha(age-18) cultivate and grows vegetables in this garden. The chicken eggs help us earn a little money and our dogs here guard the garden and guinea pigs” Rissa (age -22), the lady who invited them over to her garden explains to Yang.

”Who is the person hiding behind you all this while?” Tanya asks Rissa with curiosity and she peeks over Rissa shoulder to get a better look at who's behind her.

”Oh! this is my sister Tisha,whom I was talking about. She's a little shy, so don't mind her.” Rissa says with a grin.

Yang felt a little tense as his and Tisha's eyes meet for the very first time. His heart-felt as light as a feather, almost floating, he couldn't take his gaze off from Tisha.

Tisha is a shy and timid looking girl. She has very soft and fair skin that looks very delicate. It's so creamy white that it seems if her skin ever comes in contact with anyone, it will make it dusty.

Tisha's fair skin has more pink added to it now as she sees Yang's gaze fixated on her. She hurriedly  looks down trying to avoid his gaze as she blushes and her round amber coloured eyes sparkles. It attracts Yang, who had never felt anything like this before. His heart is racing fast not allowing his feelings to settle down. He has never seen a girl who could stir up his heart and soften him up completely.

”Ahem... Yang let's move on now?” Ares says to Yang before things get more awkward. He has seen what was going on between Tisha and Yang.

”Oh why... I wish someone would look at me too with their blue piercing eyes ahhhh~” Rissa playfully says as she gets closer to Ares and leans on his shoulder referring to how Yang looks at Tisha.

”Ah, how much I wish someone would hold my hand too” Tanya furiously says under her breath as she holds the other arm of Ares and glares at Rissa.

Ares can feel that Rissa and Tanya are pressing their chest against him as if they're competing against each other.
