They all danced after the war. Victory was achieved with blood and sweat, but their prize was good enough to make them put their life on the line for a second time. Essence was dancing with everyone. Celebrating His victory with a dance. The moment was memorable as probably this was the first time they celebrated after and the apocalypse. Everyone was dancing but they all had 1 same though in mind, the one who was the only reason was all this possible was just 1 person. Most were unaware about his status as the Apostle of Robin, but their thoughts were not far from the truth. He was not all strong, not all smart and not experienced as he was still a child. But none called him weak nor did they look down on him. Maybe it was his Charisma, the haters might call it plot-Armor but, in the end, he didn't fail. "You know, you sound more like a hater then a narrator." Cinder distracts him from this 4th wall breaking "Who you talking to?" "What? was I talking to someone?" Cinder also though again after Essence answered him "Wait why did ask that? Anyways, come eat there was food stored like everywhere." Essence stomped down hard "fu*k! I forget to burn it down." Cinder was shell shocked "Why would you burn food?" "Uhh so they would eat the stuff I hunt?" Cinder's jaw hit the floor "YOU ATE GOBLINS AND STUFF?" "Fu*k no. Just cats. Rats are dirty and kind of weird to eat, so not them." Essence's smile looked demonic in the eyes of Cinder. "Then why don't eat from the nearby stores..... don't tell me, DON'T FU*KING TELL ME." Essence slowly walked away "Looks like you guessed it!" Essence's walk brought dread to Cinder. "You monster!" was all he was able to speak. Then before he could go to eat, he was startled by a system pop up. it was a message from Kibo. All messages from him bring a grim news, this one was not different either. This one was scarier "Essence, Bad news buddy, u need to depart asap. Muriel's home was under attack and she needs help." Essence looked back at Cinder who also saw the message "Saw this sh!t? looks like we won't even get like a fu*king minute no more." Essence sends cinder to go eat with the rest and starts to listen to what Kibo has to say.
We see a guy running from a Hobgoblin. The Hobgoblin is not running nor is the man but for 2 different reasons. The man out of fear and survival while the beast out of pure fun. It broke his legs so the man would walk slow, broke its hands so it can't fight. All the man could do was run with all he got but even that was pathetic. The tears rolled down from his eyes, and it felt like an ocean could form from them. Yet the man kept running but even luck gave up on the sight of this poor child of fate. He fell down and started to crawl as he had no power to get up. His state was so pitiful maybe even the hobgoblin felt pity and lifted his club to end this broken man for good. Then a Bike tire hits it in the head almost sending him tumbling towards the ground, but it manages to stand steady. It looks around to see a group of men run towards it. It was confident enough he could take them on but then one jumped from far away and landed near it. His presence brought chills to the Hobgoblin. It was the 1-armed guy who slayed many of his kin out of rage and revenge. Even now as he stood in front of him. All you could see was fury in his eyes. Rage untaped deep within waiting for the moment to unleash. However, looked like he was not the one who would fall prey as the rest ended it with minimal injures while the man just stood like a monolith. They all were angry at him, but none spoke up. He returned with them holding the sickly man and tried to help him which didn't work and he passed away. Many were left at tears after his passing, but the man stood lifeless as if he had no soul. HE returned to where he lived. There was someone already someone looking out of the window towards the night sky. It was Muriel, and the man was her father. He patted her shoulder to inform his presence. But he was unable to even make her acknowledge him. He soon left and Muriel was left standing, gazing towards the night sky and the moon which was blood red before but now is pretty again. She could just say 1 word "Beautiful!"
Essence and Kibo made silly ideas. Essence made a stupid suggestion to walk to her place, which Kibo quickly shunned down. Their brainstorming led nowhere, and before the conversation could go on any longer essence was called by his mother to eat. He wished goodbyes to Kibo and got ready to tell everyone the idea. Essence gathered everyone important. His parents, His friends, the leader of the gang and Cinder but he knew everything, so he was standing with firm feet. Essence on the other hand was eating noodles like it's his last meal. Essence's shamelessness brough shame to his parents. Then in the middle of eating he spoke "a em egiero rofo tefeenfaag" which made absolutely no sense. Essence father told him to speak after he is done eating. Essence drank a whole glass of water in 1 breath and then took a long pause before speaking "I'm going to Tnealga." Everyone gasped in worry. his parents called him names. His friends requested him to not leave but then Madam spoke up "Why exactly are you going there? what's there and not here in Bonbey? you are a hero here Aswell. you do know that if you leave this place might fall into dust." Essence was happy someone spoke from though and not worry "Gald you asked. Well, there is a friend in need there. And its my job as a hero to go help her. Also, before going I'll hand you the social work as you do excel in them, and I'll maybe give hunting duties to these two stupid friends and rest I think you guys should be able to find on your own. I'll try to be back before the Fortnight as stuff gets messy around those times. Rest I think you will handle on your own. right?" he sounded carefree like it meant nothing to him but everyone else felt the weight of his words. Everyone tried their best to stop him, but no one was able to. HIs father wanted alone time with him. Essence expected to be scolded but his father just gave him refined steel rod after he saw his son use it as a weapon. he made the end sharp and from a stronger and heavier one. It was also the perfect size to be used as a blunt weapon and a sword if needed. Essence hugged has father and they bonded. Soon the news of his departure was shared with everyone. Some new people were also rescued who didn't know who Essence was but then a kid no older then 7 years jumped in to tell who he is "I know who he is. A hero!" Essence heard it and lifted the kid in has arms. Everyone brought him gifts after hearing he is leaving. Many still begged him to stay but he had 1 answer "You won't need me as strong enough people are here anyways!" which calmed them down. Essence couldn't sleep so he went out hunting and there he saw a cat. Essence jumped to hit it but then its colour and scar clicked in for him. It was the cat he use to feed as a hobby. It once fought 2 cats and was badly injured but it still came out victorious. It was not weak just didn't want to lose. it fought till it nearly costed him his eye. Essence helped it after seeing it fight and named it Sherekhan from the name of a fierce tiger. But he called him Sherru for short. It also recognized Essence. Essence was overjoyed to see him not be crazy. Maybe the last night's events made it aware again. Essence feed him more meat. It ate happily like the old days. Essence pointed him towards their based, but it didn't follow him back. This also happened before, Essence's mom never like an uncaged animal in the house but still Essence knew he would somehow take him in. but Sherru refused to follow him like always. He ate and then he left like a sage of wise. Essence then took off his shirt and tied it around Sherru and shouted, "May no street fall unruled under you, King of Gullies Sherekhan!" Sherru's bow which essence just made started glowing and it soon leaped away. Essence was stunned to speak and just left. He had no idea of what a monster of a Cat he had just created. Essence came back at 5 and got ready to leave with Cinder. His mother was at tears to see him go so far away. he consoled her that he will keep contact through Bronzy but his mother didn't listen. His father stopped her. Essence's little brother also showed up all crying and essence lifted him and told him he will return and bring gifts. He didn't listen and continued crying. Essence handed him to his father as well and got a pat on the back which he gladly accepted. Walking out he saw His friends waiting on the door who he gut punched as a joke which they didn't let slide answering with their own to say goodbye. They also hugged in the end like buddies. Then he met the Gang leader "Madam, sorry I left all responsibilities to you should have informed you beforehand." She answered in the calm tone "Don't worry kid. Its every day for me. Have a safe journey and take care of your safety!" Essence then also spoke up about something else "Also sorry for the day we met.... I spoke bad about your father. Believe me, I know what kind of a man he was, even if involved in gang life he was humble and nice, and so are you. Thank you for being like him." She laughs out loud "You are really nice with the words. Go your 'she' is waiting right?" Essence shyly looks away and goes out. There he sees everyone standing and waving him a 1 final goodbye. Essence feels like a superstar in the moment. he goes and walks through them like they all are his fans. Well, they were his fans as he was their hero. before Essence could walk out he turns around and shouts at the top of his lung s so that everybody could hear him "DON'T FORGET. HUNT. EAT. SLEEP ARE THE ONLY THINGS YOU SHOULD DO! REST WILL BE DONE BY NONE OTHER THEN ME ESSENCE AND RADIANCE!" His words defined the mindsets of the ones who followed him and these names will now forever be engraved deep in their tongues. Essence and Radiance. Essence walked out and met Cinder waiting for him trying to control more than 5 theromoballs in the air. Essence complimented him on the improvement and then walked off right after as Cinder exploded them for a cool effect as they got on their bikes which they rode off towards the world. Essence point East at where his destination lies and says a catchy line which Cinder and Robin find cringe, but Essence finds cool
"Wait no more, I shall meet you soon!"
