Chapter 58 - Nick And Queen

Lucas also tried to explain to the girl, "Eum... well...-

"Queen, look I got a lot of fish the day I..-

Lucas was just about to explain who they were, the explanation stopped when he found someone who had just entered the house and opened the door quickly, making everyone in the room turn their heads towards the door. Where a tall man was standing staring at them with a bunch of freshwater fish in his hand which must have been the result of his catch.

The man was silent when he saw that in the house there was not only the woman he called Queen earlier, but he also saw three foreign men standing beside the woman which of course made him frown because he did not know the three men. that person. "Who are they, Queen?" The man also questioned who these three people were to Queen. Making the woman named Queen quickly run towards him and shake her head in response to the question, she hinted that she didn't know them.

"I don't know who they are either, Nick. They just appear in the house, they appear mysteriously!" That was the answer Queen gave him, to the man named Nick.

Nick frowned suspiciously when he heard Queen's answer, which finally made him look at Lucas, Wilson, and Aidan who looked surprised by Queen's answer earlier.

"W… wait a minute! Please don't misunderstand, I'll explain it to you two!" Lucas said quickly to the two. Which then made the man named Nick now nod his head and say,

"Then, try to explain!" Nick said to Lucas, which made Lucas immediately turn to Wilson and Aidan to ask permission from the two who gave a nod, so Lucas finally said,

"We're looking for someone in this area, so forgive us for your somewhat impolite behavior," Lucas said briefly and immediately apologized to Nick and Queen, which made Wilson suddenly chuckle at that and shake his head at Lucas' explanation.

Made them all turn to look at Wilson, "Why don't you explain it the same way you explained it to me, Lucas?" Wilson also questioned the differences in the explanations he gave to these two people and himself in the past.

Lucas was annoyed by the question. He had a reason why he didn't do that because the conditions they were in were different from the conditions when they met Wilson. Lucas also regretted Wilson's attitude, who did not understand the situation they were currently facing.

Because the current conditions are different because what they meet is not only one person and again they look like ordinary people in general, at the same time they enter the house suddenly and surprise especially for the woman. And that's what Lucas didn't accept because Wilson should have understood their current condition.

"Then you can explain!" The man named Nick now ordered Wilson who had just spoken, startled him, and then stuttered at the command.

"Um… that….-

Wilson was at a loss for words because, in reality, he couldn't explain it to Nick either. And that of course made Lucas shake his head now knowing that Wilson was someone who could keep complaining without providing a good solution for anyone.

"We came here to meet the Water controller, Lucas previously suspected he was here because he saw from the news about this lake being mysteriously filled again!" A chirp from Aidan, made both Lucas and Wilson quickly turn to him. They both seemed to be in disbelief and at the same time surprised by Aidan's attitude, who could clearly explain the purpose of the three coming to Nick and Queen.

"What are you saying?" Nick also tried to listen back to what Aidan had explained earlier, which he didn't understand. So Lucas finally took over again by exhaling.

Lucas nodded his head and took one step so that the two friends stood behind Lucas at this time. He looked at Nick who was waiting for a more detailed explanation from him.

"Yes, we came to this island to look for water benders. We are the twelve stars that fell from the sky twenty years ago." Said Lucas who gave up if in the end he would be called a madman by the two people in front of him. Nick, who heard the detailed explanation, now turned his gaze to Queen who was now also looking at him.

"So you guys want to meet the water benders?" A question that was asked by Queen at that time, of course, made the three of them now frown because the reactions shown by Nick and Queen were not as big as they had previously thought.

…

Hearing the question asked by the woman named Queen, Lucas, Aidan, and Wilson nodded their heads. The three men were dumbfounded when they realized that Nick and Queen's reaction was not as big as they thought, which of course made the three of them believe that one of these two was the water bender they were looking for.

"Are any of you the person we are looking for?" Lucas asked Nick and Queen, but instead answered Lucas's question. Nick instead invited the three to sit down and Queen chose to walk to the kitchen to prepare drinks for them.

"Please have a seat, then we can talk about this together!" Nick told Lucas, Wilson, and Aidan. It also made them now walk towards the living room which was not far from where they were standing at this time.

The three of them sat on the sofa which was quite worn in the room. The trio's gaze never left Nick and Queen who was in front of them, and even when Nick approached the woman and whispered something, the eyebrows of the three of them knit together, trying to find out what Nick was whispering to the woman who at that time nodded and heard it. immediately prepared tea and also some banquets, like a house owner who treats his guests very well.

Feeling that the three guests looked curious, Nick turned to the three of them and smiled as he walked over to them again and then sat in front of them.

"It would be nice if we got acquainted first, wouldn't it?" Nick said asking them to introduce themselves, which of course made Lucas immediately say,

"Oh, yes! I'm Lucas… And these are my friends, Wilson and Aidan!" Lucas introduced himself to Nick who now nodded his head slowly and then said,

"I'm Nick, and that's my sister, Queen!" Nick said to Lucas, Aidan, and Wilson for making them understand and know. Before hearing Nick's explanation, they thought that Queen and Nick were a young married couple.

"So… you were telling me that you were shooting stars looking for a water bender? Are you guys crazy?" The questions and insinuations that Nick said to the three at that time made Lucas now exhale and then shake his head as he said,

"No, Nick… We're serious!" Lucas answered Nick. The man chuckled at that and asked Lucas again,

"What can you do to make me believe that you are a shooting star and that water benders do exist?" Nick asked as if giving a challenge to Lucas who was now looking at him and looked very serious in responding to the challenge.

"I just showed it to your sister, Nick! I really can't prove if the water benders are real or not, but at least I will show that we are shooting stars and can control the same things as the water benders we are looking for right now!" Added Lucas who now glanced at Wilson who nodded his head ready and then made Wilson slam his feet on the floor. A loud bang was heard along with a mound of earth that now appeared right beside Nick who came from the lower floor of the building they were currently walking on.

"?!" It was of course surprising for Nick who now turned quickly to the mound of stone and looked back at Lucas who was suddenly next to the sofa that Nick was sitting on before Lucas finally sat back on the sofa opposite where Nick was currently sitting.

"That's all we can prove to you right now, Nick… So I guess there's no other reason than you trusting us right?" The joke from Lucas at that time, made the surprised Nick now turn his gaze to Queen who nodded his head slowly in response to that.

Nick exhaled and then nodded his head in response to Queen's answer, "So… why are you guys looking for that water bender? Is there something so serious that you guys are looking for the water bender?" Lucas' eyes now turned to look at the Queen who asked, and he felt that the question was very much the same as Wilson a while ago. However, this time he would not answer the question haphazardly and carelessly, as he told Wilson. Because if he answered carelessly like that, there would be a possibility that the water bender who might be one of them would refuse to come with him, which Lucas finally let out a breath and then explained.

"We came here because I remember a mission that was assigned to me and my friends twenty years ago, that was before we fell from our planet to earth!" Lucas explained to Queen as well as Nick who now frowned at the same time
