308 - New Assignment
Around a week ago in Shuyen Wall, the border between Fire and Wind…
Soldiers were seen patrolling on the wall. It was daytime and the sun was high on the sky, shining on everything below it. Among them was a tall young man. His face and appearance were obscured by his helmet and armor, but his taut form was incomparable from the other soldiers as his left hand held onto the sword sheath. He was walking along the walkway atop the border, sweeping his attention around the side of wall where the Fire Kingdom is located. This was his duty along with multiple other men in this fortress, making sure no one gets in or out without authorization.
He turned his body to face the side of Fire and scouted the perimeter. Trees, grass, rocks and streams… These were the usual scenery to everyone in this wall. But the there were some things different. The trees in the Fire’s side were similar to willow, maple, and elm while in the Wind’s side were mostly popul

Torfo arrived at the Southwest district and immediately reported to the main office. The man in charge was Deputy Carlson, who welcomed him warmly to the barrack."Captain Shuda and I were in the same batch years ago, and he seemed to trust you a lot according to his letter," Deputy Carlson smiled at Torfo.Torfo inclined his head in respect. "I'm just doing my job, Sir."The deputy chuckled. "He also mentioned you haven't done any of the community service. How long have you been in patrol duty, Torfo?""Around a year, Sir. It was my first assignment and I've been moved around twice," Torfo answered."Twice, hm? So you've been to one more post before Shuyen. Where was it?" the deputy read the attachments of the letter."In Erthas Wall, sir," Torfo answered, aiding the deputy in finding about the certain data in the attachments."Ah yes, yes, here it is," the deputy pointed to the paper a she found the part where Torfo was enlisted in
The Last Thunder 310 - The News
Torfo never expected his father to welcome him like his mother or his uncle would. Well, supposedly, comparing his father to his mother was rather extreme, as they were like heaven and earth. She would welcome him with hugs and kisses while the other one would welcome him with... Well, a nod would've been a great achievement. But that night, it was a simple greeting. It was still something precious to him, as his father had never used a high and harsh tone when talking to him outside training grounds. And about training grounds... That's a whole other story.All in all, it was nice. The next day, he cared for the roses in the garden with his mother, as she loved the flower so much. His father had left for his own job in the morning along with his uncle. He did some activities with his mother until it was time for him to go to work.Unlike the previous time when his mother cooed at him and cried whenever he left for work, she didn't this time. She still hugged him and k
The Last Thunder 311 - A Missing Person
"You should file a missing person report, sir. I'll get you the form," the soldier behind the desk said, getting up from his chair.But Torfo had a realization and halted the soldier. "No. Wait."The soldier looked at him. "What? It's a missing person. He has to file a report.""Not this one," Torfo said.The other soldier who took him to the lobby shared the same confusion. "What do you mean not this one?"He glanced at the old man before looking at his colleague. "Well... Like he said, this was the first time he has done this.""Oh right, we mustn't jump into conclusion first. Oh old man, tell us why you think it's kidnapping?" the other soldier that was standing by the door said.The soldier who just stood up from his seat eventually sat down again. "How can I forget? Let me write down your testimony first. And then we can decide if you are able to file the missing person report. You don't mind if we ask you some questions, do you?
The Last Thunder 312 - Potato Sack
He knew from experience and information rotating among the soldiers that weapons with a piece of clothing on their hilt came from the Fire Kingdom. Now, that can't be trusted one hundred percent because bandits might have tried to deceive people with that method, but assuming as such was still an option. So his plan was to ask his colleagues back in the Erthas and Shuyen Wall, whether they had seen a red haired person, or if there's any suspicious cargo mount that had passed their post.He knew it was risky to ask that question without any significant details. But he could make up a story based on Uncle Phillips's story the previous day. He could alter the story a bit, but the base was still the same.When he returned to the barrack before noon, he used his break time to write a letter to his colleagues in Shuyen Wall.'Why didn't I see anyone with red hair passing by when I was there? I remember many people passing by with and without cargo. If he somehow mount
The Last Thunder 313 - Asking help
The windlet who Torfo slipped his letter into was confused when he took his letter from his bag. The address was Shuyen Wall, but he wasn't a border windlet that travels to the border to deliver letter. He couldn't even fly.He knew it was a mistake in the divider's part, so he immediately returned to the headquarters to return the letter. However, because of this mishap, the letter arrived the next day. Although it was immediately replied and Torfo received it at around three o'clock.Sadly, Torfo didn't receive the information about any red head coming through the gate. But he got information that the cargo mounts or carriages passing through the Shuyen Wall didn't have the big sized crates or barrels. He had mentioned this in his letter with the reason that his missing friend might be hiding inside the crates, to avoid his soldier friend asking more questions. But since there wasn't any, that means he could scratch Fire Kingdom from his list of suspects.Torf
The Last Thunder 314 - A Sense of Belonging
Jai finished reading the letter and looked up at the older man with pale red hair, then at the letter again. He focused on the words at the end of the letter.'You're the first person on my mind to help me with this. I do not force you, but if you accept, this would be a huge favor and I will never forget this. Please consider it, Jai. Sincerely, Torfo.'Jai's brows frowned. His mind was clouded with confusion and he unconsciously tilted his head from the absurd letter.'This is ridiculous. Why would he ask me? I mean, of all people? Surely he would have connections here and there. Why would he come to me? What made him think I can do this?' he wondered. He still couldn't forget their squabble in the mausoleum. They were like cat and dog that time, always in dispute whenever they meet and if there were no adults around. Though their fight eventually ended with a good note and a fair agreement laid upon the two, Jai had never thought he would be included in Torfo
The Last Thunder 315 - Prepare Well (1)
Jai returned to the square after talking to Barun. His friends were still there when he was there, confused about what was going on. Darrion and Miria could sense something was going on from how he suddenly left. Of course, they didn’t know what was happening, especially in Miria’s case. But of them trusted Jai to tell them, which what he was doing right now.“Darrion, I’ll need to talk to you after this,” Jai said.Darrion looked at him. He didn’t look surprised at all, rather, it looked like he knew. The blonde windlet nodded. “Sure.”Jai gave him a small smile. Then he turned to Miria, who was still sitting with the children, and smiled. “Miria. Let’s take a walk.”“Hm?” Miria had a questioning look on her face, but she agreed nonetheless. She smiled to the children. “I’ll be back in a few minutes, alright?”“Eh? What, are you guys going playing

“Well?” Miria looked at him.“I…” He looked at her seriously. “I want to help him save his nephew,” Jai said, looking determined.“Do you know where the nephew is?” Miria asked.“I don’t,” Jai shook his head.“Then how will you save him if you don’t know where he is?” Miria asked.“I will follow the lead from my friend and start from there,” he nodded his head as if he was sure.Miria tilted her head. “And when you get to that lead, what will you do? What if it leads you directly to their lair?”“That’s…” Jai hesitated. “Of course charge through and find the nephew.”There was another pause among the two as Jai thought of what he would do while Miria stared at him and waited for him to answer. But after a few seconds looking at him trying to fiddle with his answer, Miria laughed
