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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWwvvRbyyv
“Do you actually want to save your friend?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZUIf2a6op
“Why aren’t you going back?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlsUVoBmwW
“Hey, don’t leave Tommy behind.”
“It’s still waiting for you.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ357rdiqSh0
The echoes in his mind are going over one another, and it seems that they just can’t be eliminated, or at least, stopped.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pO0tFyCGp
“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.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQLjy3U8ug
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Fa7N217p
Isaac wanders and wanders, until he reaches a place which is nothing more than familiar to his memories.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM7QM8lOPu
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxHz4hHBiy
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQbEBBtKOS
“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.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8hOQ7UXz1
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM2eAFqw7J
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrTzlwwbmi
“Gotcha！“ He smashes hardly with the stick when he senses movement in the bushes again.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvGpqbvVXW
”Ouch! What’s wrong with you? I am just on my way home,” it yells.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAHY6JQsrn
“Oh, it’s you!” They both shout in shock.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJCOPk7EJp
“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?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc8mTpttnE
“He’s being captured…and it’s all because of me…” Isaac bursts out in tears again before he finishes the sentence.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLY0eDnmb4
“Being captured huh? By King George?” Jenny questions.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGywBZF40HZ
“Wait, how do you know that? You two are in the same gang?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHUSIdzPYa
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PWxqoFczG
Now, I bet, it’s time for me to pay back. Come with me and you’ll see,” Jenny says.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzbwiGtp63
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAlLeH0VjZ
“Are they always this industrious, Jenny?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP4cut1Vzc
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNH7cAry7S
“Woah Jenny. I am far beyond impressed. How come you know so many things?” Isaac cries in astonishment.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiksl5hwbKZ
“Well, it’s hard to not know about places where you pass by every day,” Jenny replies.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnat20fT26N
They swelter as they move forward. Sweats are now claiming the land of Isaac’s tears, dripping ceaselessly to his neck.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIgOGAtFIx
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSHba2cMSC
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aDpCiutpB
“Guess I… will do my best then,” he answers.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx6SVtnusx
“Perseverance is what leads to success. You’ve got this, boy.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOQyLh4YDv
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9b36Qj3bd
“What’s the point of doing that?” Isaac whispers in high notes.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd4ehAElU0
“That’s the thing that a typical asshole would do. To torture him before they dismember them into countless pieces, I guess,” Jenny despises.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0D04jK5dv
“Could Tommy make it before we rescue it?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl9xHOtv7G
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWqOM1aUmE
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkpEQqurZW
“I COULD NO LONGER STAND THIS!” Isaac dashes out from the shrubs.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYD2oZOj3U
“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.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrhkqfpNgR
Yet, what happen next makes everyone’s jaws drop.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgAgoideaW
“Could I be dreaming?” One of the soldiers asks.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKJC2xkFAO
“Then perhaps I’m in your dream too,” another answers.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkADaGOUPIs
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPExomoZW8
The blinding glow has made Tommy opens its eyes.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtPXnz1VzN
“Am I in heaven? Or in hell? Is that my guardian angel?” Tommy murmurs.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbHcsUP5qn
“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!”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5zrpas5HA
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNk9Pz2BXA
“Ouch! It burns!” They shriek loudly.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ5gunVKFa
“Your majesty, we won’t be able to persist any longer,” one of them report to King George frantically.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYqx9HcBjn
“Shoot them with arrows!” King George commands.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO3lzoo29B
“We’ve already tried, but it isn’t working at all.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tmVc3xZlt
“Then bring them down with the poisoned ones.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZCIONnEyq
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN92D0Ouxg
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWXG45V6Fr
“After all these and you are hoping for a negotiation? No offense, but your majesty, do you know how hard we thrived?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD5eEJzo08
“Wait, what? I don’t get it , aren’t you supposed to kill one, or maybe both of us?” Tommy interrupts.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgKFhAFAo9
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1XBTS11Cb
“What do you say, Tommy?” Isaac asks.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcDIUFibLC
“Alright then, what’s the term?” Tommy interrogates.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0nJP05lmp
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o033afdQK
“I…”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2eNTYN9Sn
“That’s worth a try, Tommy,” Isaac interrupts before Tommy spits his words out.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHInqhNCzec
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSEv9yZTrD
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1a3Vh8UOA
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFCKJ7KzX2
“But won’t it be futile if I failed the mission?”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cG1jhTLPB
“Never give up that easily. That’s what you’ve always been telling me,” Isaac gives Tommy a huge, warm hug.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2e329JNyu
“Thank you, my friend.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkBRsvuKLl
“Not a problem.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC1JTWuoPI
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5vnk8Z3gE
“The same goes for me,” Isaac says, “Now, go, my courageous warrior.”
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BtaCSuss3
“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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmqOdGgvSK
“Bye and good luck,” he says while wavering his paws to Tommy.
