Two days later, Sven woke up from deep meditation process.
A gleam of golden light flashed in the darkness as he opened his eyes. But they quickly disappeared.
Sven silently stood up slow but swiftly as if he just sat down like a minute and got up.
He bowed towards the statue and went out while making some movements to relax his muscles.
After taking care of personal hygiene, Sven started packing everything in his nest.
After a while, he carried two travel bags and stood in front of the front door.
The scene after he opened the door was an abandoned mine tunnel. And, it was dark and quiet.
Sven didn’t care much and closed the door. It fitted in with the wall as if it’s part of it all along.
Then, he followed the old mine cart track to the outside.
An hour later, Sven was waiting at the roadside full of snow for the passing vehicles.
He got a pickup truck but the engine wasn’t starting due to being placed in the snow for months and the lack of proper care and maintenance. After all, it’s an old truck he got at a cheap price.
After fiddling it for a while, he gave up and decided to hitch a ride to the nearest city.
May be it was because of the weather, he had to wait for nearly three hours to finally see a car.
Well, it’s truck.
After patting down the snow on his clothes and on his hat again, Sven made a classic hitchhiking gesture towards the incoming truck. As if luck had favored him once again, it slowed down.

“Hi! Where are you going?”
The driver was a beautiful woman with red hair and snow-white skin.
She lowered the window glass and asked Sven with a smile.
Sven raised his hat with one hand and said politely,
“hello, ma’am, I’m going to Havre. Can I get a ride?”
“Yeah, I’m going to Havre too. Come on in.”
Sven pointed at his travel bags and asked, “ma’am, can you please open the rear door so I can place my bags?”
“Sure, no problem,” said the woman and she unlocked the rear door for Sven.
After he put his two travel bags onto the back seats, Sven got into the passenger seat.
It’s not bad. The truck had spacious space even for the giant like him. He loved it.
“Hello, I’m Elizabeth Rosewood. Nice to meet you.”
The beautiful woman looked Sven with shining eyes and introduced herself.
“Have you been waiting for a long time? It snowed last night so not many people are going out today. Besides, today is Sunday after all. By the way, are you camping?”
She talked a lot in one go as she felt that she had found her love at the moment.
Looking at the manly man of nearly seven feet tall with the body full of muscles, Elizabeth had decided that she would pursue this man as long as he met some of her requirements.
Moreover, Sven looked like Chris Hemsworth with Dwayne Johnson body.
But, she quickly realized that Sven was taller and he’s as tall as Shaq O’Neal, the NBA giant.
For Elizabeth, Sven was like an oasis in the desert. She thought of something and blushed.
As a nearly six feet tall girl, her high school days were quite bitter even though she looked good.
Moreover, she was someone with a good standard and education so she never had a boyfriend yet.
Due to her strong personality, she had few friends. As a result, she didn’t even go to prom night.
But today, Elizabeth felt that she made a right choice by coming out although the roads were full of snow and it was hard to drive. Of course, she was also quite afraid to meet bad guys on the road.
After all, there were many illegal immigrants getting into the states and public security was poor.
Sven took off the hat and said calmly,
“Stan O’loris. You can call me Stan. Thanks for the ride, ma’am.
Your kindness is as amazing as your beauty.”
Elizabeth laughed cheerfully and said, “buckle your seat belt so you can have a safe trip.
Honestly, I was also in a dilemma because I was afraid of encountering bad guys.
You know, I am all alone by myself. If something happened, nobody is going to know.”
