17 Scar!

It was a doddle, actually. All he did was slam the controls with his fist malfunctioning the ship in the process. Now, the ship was sought to be escaped by not only Zohaifa and Flirtic but also all the beasts. Their heartbeat was raised after all. They left them no more parachutes. But Zohaifa seemed harmonious.

"What now? Zohiafa?" asked Flirtic.

"We jump," answered Zohaifa.

"From this height?" asked Flirtic.

"No. We will jump when the ship moves closer to that mountain," said Zohaifa with his eyes fixated on the mountain he is talking about. Bidding goodbye inside their mind, they made a jump at a suitable time. Zohaifa after descending on to a mountain started running downhill.

How appealing it was! He didn't know where to go, what to do next. But running in the mountains was definitely better than sitting in prison. The joy that Zohaifa felt caused him to forget all his injuries.

But Alas! No joy lasts forever. Suddenly an explosive noise pierced through the air, after which Zohaifa left his consciousness. A young man rushed towards him and pushed his ear into his chest.

"Oh no! I shot at the wrong target. His Heartbeat is gone"

Zohiafa woke up from the concussion.

"Again? I swear it's just one thing after the other," said Zohaifa to himself.

Then he slowly observed the environment. He was in a camping tent. Sunlight outside only proved how dark the inside was. He also took notice of his condition. All the blood from his body has been cleaned. He is bandaged all over.

"What am I doing here?" asked Zohaifa to himself in confusion, "How did I get here?"

He knew he had to get up and explore for safety. But after all that he had been through, he naturally felt lazy. Suddenly he heard someone coming this way.

"Should I hide or should I pretend to sleep? Nah, I will just stay put," Zohaifa mumbled to himself.

Then, a young, handsome man and a little girl in a red dress came inside the tent.

"Hello there. How are you feeling? Did you just wake up?" asked the young man while the girl hid behind his legs.

"Yes. What happened?" asked Zohaifa showing no interest whatsoever.

"You mean you don't remember!"

"All I remembered is running downhill and suddenly hearing an explosive sound along with a sudden pain in my chest."

"Nothing after that?"

"No."

"Does this ring any bell?"

Saying which, the young man opened up his shirt and showed him a huge scar in his muscular chest.
