Chapter 59 - An Anxious Sister

Nick asked, "What is that mission?" asked Nick curiously. Lucas exhaled again and then said,

"Destroy all mankind on earth." The explanation that Lucas said at that time of course made Nick and Queen look surprised to hear it.

"Did you come here to invite water benders to destroy mankind?!" Aidan and Wilson immediately shook their heads when they heard a question that Queen threw at them in a panic.

"We came here, precisely to prevent that from happening, because we were afraid that the same memory would enter the water bender's memory and make him carry out the mission alone. So we came here to prevent that from happening, Queen!" Wilson also explained what their intentions were, which made Queen sigh as if she was relieved to hear that. Lucas also ventured to directly ask the two people in front of him,

"So… Is one of you the water bender we're looking for?" Lucas asked the two of them. Which finally made Nick confess and nod his head. The man said,

"I… I am the person you are looking for!" Nick answered, which of course made the three of them now look at Nick in shock and joy at the same confession.

"So do you want to come with us, Nick?" Nick turned to Aidan who had just asked him a question, which then made Nick exhale.

"Where to? What plans do you guys have right now?" Nick asked the trio, to which Wilson immediately took out his locket and said,

"We have to find another star, with the thing you brought with you when you came to Earth Nick… Like this locket of mine!" Wilson explained to Nick who was now squinting at the locket, and then said,

"What if I told you that I had discarded the symbol?" Nick's question at that time made Wilson pause and turn quickly to Lucas who was silent for a moment, before finally finding another way and saying,

"Then, we must meet the fire bender and the lightning bender to fight and resuscitate them!" And the idea that Lucas spoke at that time managed to surprise Nick by widening his eyes.

"What?! Have you met Vernon?!" A reflex question that came from Nick made Lucas, Wilson, and Aidan look at him with narrowed eyes.

"You know him?!" Aidan's question made Nick now squeak and then nodded his head as he said,

"We've met before, but we're not close… The last time we fought was pretty great for one reason!" Nick explained to the three, which now made Lucas nod his head and then add on to say,

"So… I guess it wouldn't be a problem if you faced that fire bender guy again? Or will it be a trauma for you?" Lucas asked Nick, cautiously because he was afraid that what he was asking was true. But Nick now smirked and shook his head.

"Of course not! But… I don't think Queen can come to see it." Nick said as he turned his head to look at Queen who immediately shook his head in response to Nick's words.

"No! I have to come, Nick!" Queen said to Nick which of course made the three of them confused,

"Eum… Is Queen also one of us, Nick?" Aidan also asked Nick, making Nick turn to Aidan without paying attention to Queen's chatter saying he still wanted to come. Nick also nodded at Aidan, answering Aidan's question earlier which again surprised the three of them.

"She is a light bender." Nick also confessed to the three, which of course they were surprised and happy because they found two stars at once in this search.

"I will come, no matter what you decide!" Now the four men looked at Queen who was still adamant about Nick's unwillingness to take Queen to meet fire benders and lightning controllers. It also made Nick exhale tiredly, and then nod his head to give in to his little sister, which of course made Queen smile with pleasure.

"So we..-

"We're not going directly to fight that fire bender! There is someone we need to meet, who can also help us fight it later!" Nick concluded, cutting Lucas who was now frowning at Nick's words at that time,

"You know the other stars, Nick?!" Aidan asked Nick who now nodded with certainty as he said,

"Yeah, sure! We're leaving tomorrow and now you're staying the night here! Give me and Queen time to get ready!" Nick said as he got up from his chair and walked over to get an ax and he went out of the house to chop firewood, this made the three of them feel relieved and even more excited about this quest.

Lucas turned to Queen who smiled at them and now walked back to the kitchen to cook food for all of them.

…

As Nick asked to Lucas, Aidan, and Wilson. The three spent the night at Nick's and Queen's houses, the three of them were invited to sleep in Nick's room, while the owner of the room chose to sleep on the sofa in the living room. The atmosphere that night was very quiet, even the only sound was the sound of running water, crickets, and frogs that dominated the area. That night there was no light, but the atmosphere in the house was very bright because the Queen used her light to warm and illuminate the darkness in the house. It was an amazing thing for the three to know that there was a light bender with them.

Lucas, Aidan, and Wilson had already entered the room earlier after Nick had previously said that they should rest soon because they would need a lot of energy for tomorrow. While Nick himself is now pensive on the terrace of his house, he is silent without intending to do anything.

"Nick!" a call that sounded very soft in his ear, made Nick smile and turned his gaze to Queen who had just called him,

"You're awake?" Nick asked the woman when he found out that she was still awake and approached him, Queen shook her head in response to the question.

Seeing this, Nick realized that his sweet little brother was feeling restless because he was worried about something, which might be something they have to do tomorrow.

Nick nodded slowly, understanding the condition, and waved his hand, signaling Queen to come closer to him. As Queen approached Nick, the man affectionately embraced his younger brother's body.

"There must be something you're worried about, right?" Nick asked which made Queen immediately nodded her head confirming the question.

"Of course there is!" Queen replied to Nick who was currently laughing softly at the tone of the answer Queen had just said to him. Queen turned to her brother and looked both confused and annoyed at him.

"Why are you even laughing, Nick?!" Queen protested to Nick who now shook his head and then replied,

"Well… So what are you worried about huh? I don't think there's anything for you to worry about and be afraid of!" It was clear that Nick told Queen who didn't seem to agree with what Nick had said to him.

Nick also knew if Queen was in a serious mood right now, "Can't we just turn them down?" The question that is now being asked by Queen also makes Nick surprised, frowns, and turns to look at Queen.

Nick also asked, "Where is the Queen who asked me to let you come this afternoon huh?" Nick asked Queen who now snorted softly and lowered her head.

And seconds later Queen looked back at her brother and said, "I did it because I don't want you to get hurt again, Nick!" Queen said to Nick who smiled in response, Nick then nodded his head understanding the concern of his little sister.

"Trust me! You and I will be fine because there are them!" Nick said trying to calm Queen who was frowning and shaking her head in response to those words.

"I can't believe it, Nick! You also said that when we fought together with Marla… But what's the proof? You got hurt and we ended up living on this island!" Queen said which made Nick nod his head confirming those words.

But he didn't give up and spoke again, "But this time it's different Queen… There's teleportation with us as well as Healing and earth benders! I'm sure we'll be fine, I promise!" Nick said again explaining to Queen who was now stunned to consider this and finally, he nodded his head to accept Nick's explanation at that time.

"Promise you won't get hurt, Nick!" Queen said to Nick who nodded his head accepting the request and promised Queen. Nick immediately crossed his chest to promise to Queen who smiled with relief and it made Nick say again,

"Go to sleep! We will leave very early, tomorrow!" Nick's orders to his sister, made Queen nodded and left Nick to go into his room.

Nick's smile, which was expanding at that time, immediately faded after Queen was no longer in front of him at this time. His once warm face now had a very serious expression. At that time Nick was thinking about what Lucas said that they were tasked with exterminating the inhabitants of the earth, which of course was not a random task and not a game.
