I was making my way to that weird white Columb in the distance. It was my best chance at finding people, I chuckled to myself at the thought of how I must look to other people. A mad woman with torn clothes and nothing but a knife and bleach. I feel a lot younger too, I'm sure it's a concerning matter but I enjoy my renewed youth.
I'm sure Maxy would too...
No Marie, now is not the time to cry over your ex.
Oh!
I noticed that the ants don't come close to the forest for some reason. It's probably a sign of danger but I'm gonna take advantage instead of listening to the warning.
Boom!
I jumped at a loud crashing sound, did some just fell a tree?
"Hey du Hurenkind! Gib ne Warnung vielleicht!"
After swearing at whoever just cut down a tree I move towards the crashing sound. Whilst I am angry they're probably the first person I can come into contact with after everything started collapsing.
I just hope my questionable appearance doesn't ruin my chances with talking to them. Moving through the forest wasn't hard and it didn't take long to find a fallen tree.
There was also the murderer of the tree there, hammering something into the remaining stump.
"Hey, ich red' mit dir du Holzkopf."
The person stands up, dam he's tall, he's also dressed in a pelt making him look like a savage barbarian. He turns to look at me, those dull eyes and those eye catching scarrs...
"Max?" "Marie?"
Well, this was unexpected, why am I not feeling anything? Oh, I'm in shock. It should only take a few seconds to...
He ducked to dogde the knife I threw at him.
"Du Gottverdammter Alkoholiker!"
"Marie, bitte warte!"

I rushed towards him with no plan on how to hurt this seven feet tall muscle protz.
"Ich hab dir doch gesagt du sollst verrecken!"
"Marie! Bitte!"
I leapt at his throat, it doesn't hurt him but I'm too angry to think.
"Wars dir net' genug dich voll zu saufen? Müsstest du auch noch rauchen?"
Tears startet to run down my face as I mindlessly shouted gibberish at him.
"Du-du-du Gottverdammtes e-e-ellenkind!"
My voice startet to shake as I couldn't breathe, why doesn't he say anything? Why doesn't he fight back?
"..."
He knew it would only make me angrier, to either try to calm me down or retaliate.
My yelling turned to crying as I ran out of insults to call him, but I didn't need to. Maxy is someone who cries internally. So we both stood there crying and holding each other.
I'm not sure how long we both cried, the smell of bleach and motor oil mixed into a disgusting abomination yet neither of us moved.
"Marie?"
"Ja?"
"... Ich trink nicht mehr."
"... was ist mit m rauchen?"
"Auch nicht."
"Gut, gut."
We both stood there, in our crude hug. My arms were around his neck, I stopped trying to rip his head off. His arms are wrapped around my waist, he could easily break my spine yet he was gentle enough for me to not feel any pressure.
"Max?"
"Ja?"
"Was ist los hier... was passiert mit der Welt?"
"Tja, das könnte nen moment brauchen."
He explained everything he understood of what's happening, including his current situation.
"Also, das dort ist der Turm der Sonne?"
"Ja."
"Und dort ist es sicher?"
"Ja."
"Ist schon ein weiter Weg."
"Ich werde dich begleiten."
We're still in each others arms, my voice was weak after all that yelling. I pulled away from our embrace, he hesitated before picking up the hatched and axe. With a swing he embedded the hatched into the tree.
"Auf gut Glück."
"Auf gut Glück."
I reapet after him and take the hatched.
We made our way to the tower, it was a long way but that only meant we should keep on going.
...
"Das Ding ist ja groß."
"Ja, komm ich zeig dir was du sehen musst."
"In Ordnung."
He opened the gate to the tower and walked inside. Immediately a lot of eyes fell on us as the people startet to speak amongst themselves in hushed voices. Fortunately for them neither of us had the energy for that.
"Dort kannst du ein Raum kriegen, wir treffen uns wieder hier nach dem ich mir was angezogen habe."
I nodded at his words and went through a normal looking door. There I was meet with someone.
"Greetings, may I know the expertise of your class?"
Oh shit, English? I wasn't prepared for English. Where are those vocabulary sheets when you need them?
"Oh uh sorry I not speak English."
It looked confused for a moment and then looked at a piece of paper.
"Es steht hier das die lokale Sprache hoch Deutsch ist."
"Es wird hoch Deutsch genannt wenn man ohne Dialekt redet, einfach nur Deutsch stimmt auch."
"Danke für die Information, könnte ich die Spezialitäten ihrer Klasse wissen?"
"Tja, Wissenshällterin, und Sanitäterrin."
All of the sudden I found myself in a room with a chair, table, bed and wardrobe. I immediately checked the wardrobe for clothes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Atleast Maximillian doesn't have to see me half naked anymore.
