Sabrina and David were travelling for five weeks and they were exhausted from travelling.
Sabrina was the most exhausted of both, she as a young lady was not used to travel for so long and this is also her first time travelling by foot and not taking a teleportation portal.
"David, how long till the next village? And where the heck is Noah?"
David sighed hearing his sister, she asked these questions every ten minutes. He could not hear her voice anymore.
"We only have to walk for a half day till the next village and I think Noah will be there. He was only a few hours faster than we, so we couldn't head up to him."
Sabrina jumped like a little girl and shout:
"I don't want to; I want to sleep in my bed again."
David did not reply and walked further, it was already night, but he did not want to rest. He wanted to reach the village by dawn, he did not want to give Noah enough time to rest and to go further. They met a lot of people on their way and they asked every time if they saw a young man and they described Noah, they answered every time with a yes.
And then they reached Brilan village by dawn like expected. But the villager was already out on their way to work. They also asked a passant for a place to sleep and thy also were sent to the Drunk Flower. They also met with the unpolite owner and they also got a room, because they were brother and sister, they decided to share a room.
Noah slept today longer than normally; he was really exhausted from the journey. He took a bath and then he ate his breakfast. While he was eating his breakfast, he heard familiar voices.
"I am imagining things or what. Sabrina and David are far away from here, it is impossible to hear their voices here. Am I going crazy?"
Noah never imagined that Sabrina and David would follow him, so he never thought about the possibility of them being there.
"Hey Noah, you are really here. I knew it I could find you here."
Sabrina shout after seeing Noah eating. She waited for this moment for a long time. Then she continued.
"Do you know how much we tried to reach you, but you were too fast."
Noah who wanted to continue eating suddenly was surprised by the same voice and then he knew that they were really David and Sabrina. He was shocked and he let his spoon fall, because of the shock and surprise.
"What are you doing here? Should you not be in Goldberg City?"
David was the one who replied this time:
"Yes, we should be there, but we escaped. Are you not happy to see us?"
"No…, I mean yes, but it's to suddenly. I never thought you would follow me."
"Of course, we would do, we want also to be stronger and to discover the world. And we thought that together is better than alone."
Noah nodded agreeing with David and then he said:
"Come, let us eat together. You have to tell me what you did the last five weeks."
Then they sat together and began to talk, and they told him their experiences. The also got stronger while travelling, they told his how they trained and walked further. That was also one of the reasons they could not reach him so fast.
"In the first week we only walked and then we thought that this is a waste of time. But then Sabrina saw how a man had a basket on his back with different things, he looked exhausted, but his muscles were all shining and had a perfect form. So, we decided to made baskets and fill them with stones and then walk with them. At the beginning it was difficult, the first week with the basket was like hell, but then we began to feel the changes and when we use the Mana breath techniques, we felt how the Mana was flowing through the meridians and then to our muscles and bones easier. So, we are now in the top of the 1st Star knights. We can break through in any moment."
"Wow, you are incredible. I also got stronger in this time. I am still a 1st Star magician. But I really can't compare to you."
Noah did not want to let them know that he is also a knight, for now he could hide this aspect, because it is better for their and his security. The others would only say that he trains hard his body, even if he is a magician. It was rare to see a magician training his body, but there were exceptions, the most of times were those magicians strong too, so no one questioned them for training their bodies.
Then they rested the whole day.
The next day Noah was smiling strangely, Sabrina and David had a bad feeling about this smile. And like they expected Noah let the bomb out:
"We will go to the forest nearby and train there for a time. Make yourselves ready, if you want to become stronger than you have to rain harder than anyone else."
Sabrina and David who thought they could rest for more days, but their dreams were destroyed instantly.
Sabrina was the most affected:
"What? Please no, I want to rest more. Please, please!"
"Sorry, but I can't make exceptions for you. We will go tomorrow, prepare yourself.
Sabrina could only be angry and sad about it, but she nodded and agree. She did not want to disturb the plans of anyone. She knew this journey would be difficult and she accepted the challenge, therefor she agrees at the end.
