Sung-Jin woos POV

We rode across the open land in the carriage as I lamented on the slow travelling speed thinking that flying would be better. I eventually chose against that idea as I didn't want to ruin the current life I had by exposing my powers to the rest of the group.

It became close to night so we set up camp nearby close to a lake with a waterfall and a wonderful view of the everlasting forest.I sighed inwardly at the thought of one of the strongest beings in the universe to camp outdoors, which made me realise that this is my first time camping. I wondered why I had never went before until the realisation dawned on me of the fact that my father had disappeared in a portal and my mother was in a coma for 10 years so I never had the choice.

I sighed as I walked over to help Rey, Adam, and Durden to set up camp as everyone else went to go bathe in the lake. I looked over to see Arthur being unwillingly dragged over to get cleaned as I smiled at the thought of how uncomfortable it must be for him. We continued to set up camp as the sun began to set and the others came back in clean clothes with a disgruntled Arthur who looked like he wanted to die. I sniggered under my breath which caught his attention and looked at me with daggers in his eyes.

I turned away to walk off to the main area where they tried at making a fire many times and failing. I walked up to them and a tiny purple flame appeared at my finger tip and fell on the pile of sticks and logs of wood. Thankfully I made my abilities unknown to them and they assumed that they finally got the fire started.

After a long while where everyone camped around the fire looking at the sizzling piece of meat that was turning over the fire it was finally ready

"Who wants food?!" Rey shouted with enthusiasm and hunger in his voice as he salivated.

They all held up plates as I stood to the side leaning on a tree watching the starry sky to which I grew attached to after returning from the chaos world all those years ago. The complete grey and dull sky in the chaos world was one of the things which I always hated about the place, other than the silence which would drive anyone insane.

I turned to see all of them wolfing down the food at a rate that would make you think it was their first time eating and with a sigh I returned to watching the stars. I felt a familiar small presence walking towards me, prompting me to turn my head to see Arthur coming towards me.

Arthur leywins POV

I notice uncle Jin woo leaning on a tree away from the constant buzz and laughter of everyone else like a shadow, marching into the darkness. I got up and walked toward him with Amy confidence brimming at full capacity, and eventually came to stand next to him causing him to turn his head toward me.

I felt the experience that radiated out of his eyes as I wouldn't be able to imagine the horrors that he had seen and fought to be able to put at a pressure that made everyone inferior to him.

"Are you not joining us? There's still some food left" I asked.

"Nah, I don't need food" he said.

"Well at least you can come and join in, you look like a loner over here" I said to him in a resolute and determined voice that would make most people question if this was a child.

The response that I got was a chuckle from the tall man as he patted my head and walked toward the rest. As he walked past I could see his shadow flicker in the remaining light, making me confused before shaking my head and walking back to sit with him.
