Chapter 83 - Try To Understand

(Tells the side where Marla and Wilson are running on orders from Lucas to confront Kendrick)

Shutt!! 

Blarrr!! 

"Nick!"

Marla's gaze immediately turned to look at the source of the horizontal lightning and found a man with a sturdy, tall body and wearing a black hat, which made Marla know and was very sure that it was someone she knew.

"Marla, Wilson! Face Kendrick!" those were the words that Lucas said to Marla, which made Marla's eyes now turn to look at Wilson who nodded his head before they finally ran to Kendrick.

Marla ran fast, her eyes now turned to Kendrick who was using his hand as a guide to creating a path where the lightning should strike.

He saw how Kendrick aimed the lightning at him, which of course made Marla surprised by it and fell to avoid being struck by the lightning.

BLAAARR!!! 

Siiing!! 

The hum that appeared in Marla's sense of hearing due to the sound of a large lightning strike at that time, did not make Marla stop there, she now got up again and ran to approach Kendrick,

"Wilson!!" Marla screamed to Wilson, who turned out to be Wilson emerging from the ground, right behind Kendrick and then he supported Kendrick's body with the ground he had.

BRUGH!! 

"Argh!" Kendrick groaned feeling surprised by the curvature, he tried to escape from there,

"Kendrick, please!" said Marla to Kendrick who now quickly turned to look at Marla, and it made him pause and then said,

"Why did you come here again, Marla? Didn't I tell you that you had to leave?" Kendrick asked Marla who was now exhaling and then saying,

"I beg you… we need your and Vernon's help… this is an urgent matter!" Marla said to Kendrick who was now frowning at those words,

"LUCAS!!" Queen's scream at that moment made the three of them turn to look at Lucas who fell limp due to the fire that burned his body and also Vernon at this time. It made Kendrick now exhale, knowing that Vernon was reckless there again. Kendrick's gaze is now looking at a man who had just healed Nick from the lightning strike he used, who then the man ran immediately to the man he suspected to be Lucas, but it was seen that they chatted for a while and made the man approach Vernon to heal him first, which of course This alone made Kendrick now turn his gaze back to Marla which made Kendrick now nod his head at Marla who was looking at him with hope.

"It would be best if we talked about this calmly, wouldn't it?" a question that was asked by Wilson at that time made Kendrick again nod his head and at the same time, the earth barrier that locked his movement was released.

…

On the other hand, when Aidan was treating Nick, the sound of Queen's screams made him turn quickly towards Lucas who fell limply on the ground, which of course made Aidan try to speed up the treatment process from Nick and immediately stood up and ran. to Lucas when he was one hundred percent healed Nick.

"Lucas!" called Aidan very panicked, he wanted to treat Lucas, who at that time his body already had many burns. But Lucas' arm now pushed away Aidan's outstretched hand,

"Treat Vernon first, he's worse than me, Aidan!" Lucas said to Aidan who was now frowning,

"How can I do that? He's evil!" said Aidan and when Lucas's gaze turned sharp and scary, Aidan no longer spoke and immediately did what Lucas told him to do, Aidan healed Vernon's wounds first.

At the same time, Nick walked over to them and looked at Vernon very seriously.

"Look… what Kendrick and I have done, Vernon!" said Nick to Vernon who was now silent and exhaled, trying to hold back his emotions because at that time Queen was by his side, and that could only be seen by Aidan who was now looking at Queen's hand which tightly gripped Vernon's arm in front of him.

"Please talk to Lucas, Nick! It would be bad if he lost consciousness!" Aidan's words at that time also made Nick now exhale and nod his head in response to Aidan's request, Nicki walked away and walked over to Lucas who was lying on the ground at that time.

"Lucas… are you okay?" Nick asked Lucas who now chuckled in response and then said,

"Please don't be so hard with them Nick... we need them all!" Lucas said to Nick, which now made him tug the corners of his lips and chuckle before finally saying,

"Do you know? There's something we'll have to talk about one-on-one… because it would be a shame if I said that here right now!" Nick said to Lucas, which now made Lucas chuckle and nod his head in response.

"Lucas, Nick!" a call that was spoken by Wilson at that time, made Nick now turn to look at Wilson, Marla, and Kendrick who were running towards them all, which made Lucas glance at the three and then smile when he looked at Kendrick who was now looking at him.

"We'll all talk after this, won't we?" Kendrick asked Lucas, which made Lucas try to get up from his seat, it made Nick help him and Lucas nodded his head to answer the question.

"Hey! Don't move yet, idiot!" The curse that Aidan threw at that time made Nick immediately lay Lucas back down, and so did Lucas who nodded because he was afraid of Aidan's curse at that time.

"I think you should be treated first before we talk!" said Nick mumbled, to which Lucas nodded his head in response.

"Yeah… I guess that's even better!" Lucas explained and made Marla smile at their stupidity.

…

As Nick said, when Lucas, as well as Vernon, had been treated by Aidan, they finally gathered at an inn near the village and Nick also asked them to gather in the inn hall an hour and a half from there he gave them time to rest and even asked Vernon and Kendrick to wait for him too, when Nick didn't use that time to rest but to talk to Lucas in his bedroom.

"So… what do you want to tell me, Nick?" a question uttered by Lucas at that moment, made Nick sigh and be silent for a while.

He was silent and re-imagined the incident that had happened some time ago, the incident where Lucas bravely locked Vernon's movements even though he had to be burned.

Nick could hear Lucas' words, who was trying to protect those there by saying,

"Don't hurt anyone, we came here calmly and we don't want to fight!" That's what Nick remembered and even he could see if Lucas was willing to burn himself, as long as Vernon didn't hurt anyone else but himself at that time.

"I'm ashamed of myself, Lucas!" Nick's words at that time made Lucas frown in response.

"I'm ashamed that I couldn't protect you and instead caused trouble in the past, causing us trouble in the present!" said Nick explaining his embarrassment to Lucas who was now exhaling in response to that, he tapped Nick's shoulder and Lucas shook his head.

"What's the real problem? Why don't you ever want to open up to us?? what's bothering you, Nick?" Lucas asked Nick, which now made Nick say,

"Everyone… I'm all over the place, Lucas… I'm feeling depressed, a lot of things I remember from memories and it seems that it carries over to this moment, and makes me look very childish!" Nick explained to Lucas who frowned again at the explanation,

"remember a lot of memories?" Lucas asked Nick who was now nodding his head,

"Yeah… I clearly remember it and it was like I was watching my past!" said Nick to Lucas,

"W… wait, so… you remember that memory?" Lucas asked, and Nick nodded his head,

"It's kind of a puzzle and fragmentary… but it's all very clear, and I feel ashamed that I'm continuing to use the rules they used to use for us in this day and age!" Nick explained to Lucas,

"Nick… can you explain what you remember from all those memories to me?" Lucas asked Nick, which made Nick nod his head in response to the question,

"Sure… I could tell you, but… there's something I want to give you right now!" Nick said to Lucas, which made Lucas look at Nick curiously,

"What's that, Nick?" Lucas asked Nick, who was now reaching into his trouser pocket to then pass a small ball that resembled a marble to Lucas as he said,

"This is one I remember, and I dropped this thing first before we descended to this earth, on orders from them!" said Nick to Lucas, who now received the little glass ball and stared at what was inside, which was miniature earth, moon and plain hiding behind the moon, it wasn't so big that no one noticed.

"W… what is this??" Lucas asked Nick who was now exhaling and then saying,

"That's where we are, and that ball is the key to getting us home Lucas!" Nick replied to Lucas who looked back at the small glass ball, "I give this key as a symbol that I give my leadership to you, Lucas!" continued Nick, and it was of course very, very surprising Lucas who now quickly turned to look at him who was now wearing a very very serious face, as if he had thought about this long before.
