Isaac lands somewhere far away from the Moonblast Cove. The heavy clouds are sobbing the same way as Isaac. Rainy days are moroses’ favorite, because you could never tell if they’re tears or rain droplets that are all over their faces.

The little boy here once lost his brother, and now, he’s crying over the loss of his best buddy who defends him till the very end.

“No, not again. Why does it have to be me everytime. God, how come you are so merciless that you take away everything I treasure with my heart everytime when I own it? What’s the point of doing that? Don’t I deserve all these things that the most ordinary kid would have?” All the anger deep inside him has bursted out at once, like the time when a sleeping volcano eventually awakes.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPWdIrrsTw
“Do you actually want to save your friend?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd83zBZnIG
“Why aren’t you going back?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJse4iVmRo
“Hey, don’t leave Tommy behind.”
“It’s still waiting for you.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEMtXp1IRJ
The echoes in his mind are going over one another, and it seems that they just can’t be eliminated, or at least, stopped.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxmjZWMxrR
“Tommy is still waiting for me somewhere. I’ve gotta save him…” Isaac murmurs, wiping the falling tears with the red handkerchief, “there’s no way that I am leaving this place without Tommy.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwCvMsCAFW
“But I’m no match against all those armed soldiers. They’ve got swords, shields and helmets. Oh, and muscles too. But I have got none of them. Also, they outnumber me. I’ve got no one else by my side.” The boy starts to doubt himself shortly after he gets determined to rescue his buddy.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoua6w7BCas
Isaac wanders and wanders, until he reaches a place which is nothing more than familiar to his memories.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Vb6UuDjL
“If my memories serve me well, could this be the place where I was kidnapped?” He says while squeezing himself through the narrow gap between the evergreen shrubs. And for once, it turns out the same as his guess.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyZMwYhzBH
He tiptoes to the side of the river and lays on the comfy grass which is opening its arms wide to embrace him. The blanket of stars is hanging up above him, and each of them are dazzling even from a great distance.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdNDHiZ5Dm
“What a pity, Tommy,” he mumbles with tears streaming down his face again, “the stars above would have been so much brighter if you were here with me now.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYDcH2XQOt
Isaac is immersing himself completely in the magnificence of nature when all of a sudden, a swooshing sound seems to appear to his ears. He smells danger and becomes vigilant.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxLHWDOhlT
“Who’s there?” He picks up a random stick and grips it with his fist tighten, slowly walking to the bushes behind on his toes.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6mWjgLwwe
“Gotcha！“ He smashes hardly with the stick when he senses movement in the bushes again.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHwuLR4l8x
”Ouch! What’s wrong with you? I am just on my way home,” it yells.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Mj9u6rZR
“Oh, it’s you!” They both shout in shock.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KOAevOdK9
“Hey, what happened to you, dear? Why are you crying?” Jenny asks as it cleans Isaac’s face with its tiny claws, “Where is Boomer?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYFHk5NayR
“He’s being captured…and it’s all because of me…” Isaac bursts out in tears again before he finishes the sentence.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG2OIyqmDa
“Being captured huh? By King George?” Jenny questions.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J0JwR0sy4
“Wait, how do you know that? You two are in the same gang?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QpIXbumWy
“We were. I used to work for him but then that ruthless badass threw me in the water after they found out that I was actually aging and wasn’t as productive as before. Fortunately, I ended up being saved by you two. Then, I decided to break faith with him. You were really my lifesaver and I you one big thing.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pt6GE0ELN
Now, I bet, it’s time for me to pay back. Come with me and you’ll see,” Jenny says.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwzNlujHJ7
Then they pair up and walk through the Twilight loch. Fireflies there are sure working their asses off. They move in groups in order to butcher every slugs, snails and earthworms that they spot.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXYKK0k7sG
“Are they always this industrious, Jenny?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNJImSL1LT
“Well, yes. They all have a fleeting life. Their adulthood only lasts for around one to three weeks before they die out, so they gotta act quick. Find a mate. Store food for their little ones. Lay eggs. Then they die,” Jenny explains everything in detail to Isaac.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeiQZQicOL
“Woah Jenny. I am far beyond impressed. How come you know so many things?” Isaac cries in astonishment.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4M3PjQC2B
“Well, it’s hard to not know about places where you pass by every day,” Jenny replies.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKPZw3hjkF
They swelter as they move forward. Sweats are now claiming the land of Isaac’s tears, dripping ceaselessly to his neck.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS24BcyvzXS
“Isn’t it supposed to be cooler at the middle of night? Why am I sweating like this? My shirt is now soaking wet!” Isaac queries.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwRZnWS77u
“Music to your ears! It means that we are one step closer to Moonblast Cove. We’ll be there in no time after we pass Sunblaze Valley. Hang in there, Isaac. You’ll eventually make it,” it encourages him with a confident smile.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83s0a8g8hB
“Guess I… will do my best then,” he answers.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NnQpmS7cS
“Perseverance is what leads to success. You’ve got this, boy.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkQ2JHRfAw
The chattering between the two has brought them high spirits, but all these shift into sorrow when they set foot on Moonblast Cove. The soldiers are beating Tommy badly. A whip. A whack, follow by a smack.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ0hKziw3O
“What’s the point of doing that?” Isaac whispers in high notes.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7eMYIwJsk
“That’s the thing that a typical asshole would do. To torture him before they dismember them into countless pieces, I guess,” Jenny despises.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AScPbTBz6
“Could Tommy make it before we rescue it?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZxYAEDhJT
“Jeez, he would have died a thousand times if he was an ordinary one. What makes you think that being an elite soldier is an effortless task?” Jenny questions him sarcastically.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjos9Zg019c
But are things really going like Jenny said? Tommy with its eys closed tells everything. Tommy is curling up, and those bullies are giggling while toying with it.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZL8zaxgyE
“I COULD NO LONGER STAND THIS!” Isaac dashes out from the shrubs.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtzIVTU7td
“Hey kiddo, wait up. Oh Jesus, why are you this reckless and impulsive?” Jenny sighs, “Well the only thing I could do now is to wish you good luck.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKTWUOlVVt
Yet, what happen next makes everyone’s jaws drop.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJYD62w6ia
“Could I be dreaming?” One of the soldiers asks.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH7INrc0a4
“Then perhaps I’m in your dream too,” another answers.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nC8xKzTBj
Isaac transforms into a beast just like Tommy did. Differences are that his hair is in mint color while remaining the stripes similar to Tommy’s with a dimmer tone. Not to mention that he has a pair of dragon wings and duo tails too. But this time, he has the thorn collar on his right wrist.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsCB92PiVb
The blinding glow has made Tommy opens its eyes.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXStz9LQ4HW
“Am I in heaven? Or in hell? Is that my guardian angel?” Tommy murmurs.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNB8GmsgfP
“No, you aren’t. You are with me, your sworn buddy. Sorry. It took me quite a while to come back here,” Isaac says under his breath, “now just rest and I’ll take care of everything, and Jenny’s in too!”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71qF29qlbl
Isaac takes a deep breath before taking off from the ground. These new wings are surely invincible. Meanwhile when they are up in the sky, Isaac’s tails are tracking the bullies, and strangle them upon discovery. Jenny is playing the role of pouring pepper powder into the soldiers’ eyes too.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf4Lo44yEs
“Ouch! It burns!” They shriek loudly.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2tTTz7d08
“Your majesty, we won’t be able to persist any longer,” one of them report to King George frantically.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwRtdRCp2r
“Shoot them with arrows!” King George commands.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacFJEdLQSH
“We’ve already tried, but it isn’t working at all.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v6Byw6NaL
“Then bring them down with the poisoned ones.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnodMdAaKBK
The witty old man is certainly qualified to be a king, a few moments later, Isaac falls to the ground with his legs paralayzed. But both of his tails are still available for the attacks.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OtZAoeVkb
“Hey, stop there, both sides. Why don’t we negotiate about it? Well soldiers, I believe that you feel sorry when your teammates get injured. And Isaac, I believe that you’d like to leave this place with Bommer, wouldn’t you?” King George bumps out and asks.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnedcPEwRlY
“After all these and you are hoping for a negotiation? No offense, but your majesty, do you know how hard we thrived?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9FP843mKz
“Wait, what? I don’t get it , aren’t you supposed to kill one, or maybe both of us?” Tommy interrupts.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QINmHBRQj
“That’s not the case now. Well, as you can see, both of you and those warriors of mine are battled and bruised. I’m sure that no one wants to suffer from anymore loss from now on. On that account, I’ll provide you with an alternative which both of you will live,” King George clears its throat and says.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1WhahB5lf
“What do you say, Tommy?” Isaac asks.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvi7lSB2yr
“Alright then, what’s the term?” Tommy interrogates.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K6qtdBQGg
“No worries. Just bring Diana back and both of you will be free to go. Or otherwise, you will left no choice but to be executed right here. Make your call wisely, Boomer,” King George giggles.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5SKTb2j6F
“I…”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrUa5tXvWd
“That’s worth a try, Tommy,” Isaac interrupts before Tommy spits his words out.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiDo2FJ43S
“But I’ll have to leave you behind for a while and I won’t be able to protect you from any possible threats. Moreover, it’s either a hit or a miss. No one knows whether she’s still living outside there,” Tommy explains.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKmd40T3Qc
Isaac strokes the spikey fur of Tommy’s. He slowly grooms its hair with his large paws. He pats his head softly with his palm.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqgCduqvvB
“Hey, Tommy. Look at me in the eyes. I’ll be just fine and there’s nothing left for you to concern about. Just give it a shot now, okay?” Isaac whispers.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhf03Lavv9
“But won’t it be futile if I failed the mission?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmQNVkkYcR
“Never give up that easily. That’s what you’ve always been telling me,” Isaac gives Tommy a huge, warm hug.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNFItQweTS
“Thank you, my friend.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQ6qzUBsG
“Not a problem.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuMECY2JF0
“Remember to stay safe. And always have in mind that I’ll be standing there fighting for you at all costs,” Tommy reminds Isaac with a firm voice.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc94hZJ0H8
“The same goes for me,” Isaac says, “Now, go, my courageous warrior.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2LsFwXncM
“I shall be returning with victory in a blink of time. Please take good care of yourself and here I’ll go. Goodbye, Isaac,” it says.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2bHQi3hTK
“Bye and good luck,” he says while wavering his paws to Tommy.
