Red: Oh god, I did it again…
He says in a shaky tone as he starts to shed tears. His face bearing an expression of Shock and distraught.
--- Chapter 11 ---
Red quickly runs to Luna and holds her in his arms.
Red: Come on. Come on, wake up. PLEASE!
Still limp, she starts to blink her eyes open. She starts to smile
Luna: Good to see you back.
Red: … You too
He says with a smile back.
The rest start to pick themselves off the ground.
Ray: It's gonna take alot more than a couple burns to put me down.
Orson: Yah haha.
Mica: I was blown up repeatedly for pete's sake, I can't go down from that
Red: Glad to hear it.
He says with a tear in his eye. Red picks Luna up and they all walk to the cart. They all take their seats.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Luna: I don't want to say it because everyone is taking it well, but these burns so freaking much (T_T)
The cart begins to move extremely fast from Branders speed. They eventually arrive at their destination.
???: Good good! Glad to see my shipment is on time.
An elderly man with a long beard states as they pull up to his shop.
???: But you look worse for wear, what happened to you folks.
Ray: S-sir, would there be any reason bandits would attack our cart, or your stuff?
???: I am a magic item smith, so there's always a reason.
Ray: But, any specific reason for this cart?
???: These materials are rarer than normal materials.
Ray: I see, but why not just steal the magic items from the shop after they have been made.
Mica: Probably because the material is worth more to them than the magic items he would make with it.
Orson: And if that's the case, it's safe to assume they have a magic item crafter of their own.
???: And a good one at that.
Ray: What makes you say that?
???: Not to toot my own horn but, these materials are hard to utilize for magic items, but they wield some of the best outcome.
Ray: Right. We need to get back fast and tell master
Orson: Agreed.
The three get back in the cart with Red and Luna.
???: Good luck, safe travels!
They nod as Brander prepares to bolt. They arrive at the guild hall a couple hours later, with the master standing outside. Luna noticed Red was seemingly down, but as soon as they got back, he shaked his head and put a smile back on his face. It makes Luna happy to see him smiling but also gets the feeling like it's a front. Thinking of what he said, her mind wanders.
Red: Oh god, I did it again…
Red: Hey ma-
Master punches him in the face.
Master: You're late again!!
This familiar scene happens in the background of Luna’s thoughts.
Luna: What happened to him clearly happened before and upset him. Everyone was freaked out, and i know i've only known them for a little over a day, but he seems to be happy all the time. He saved me, he took that form, and saved me.
Red: Luna! Come on, we got to talk to the master!
Red says with bruises and lumps given by the master. Luna collects herself and puts on a smile.
Luna: Right! Coming! Red, I will get stronger, so you don't have to take that form to save me. Never again.
