"MR.CLOUD COME OUT THERE NOW AND THE FEAST WILL START. " The villagers started to call out for Cloud. After he finished putting back his trench coat and then his sword in his back he came out of the Lodging House immediately.

It was lively out there. There are simple decorations in their plaza with almost 30 different dishes in a 5 meter long table.

The Chief the Elders and the warriors with Cloud, Marina and Pyno are the only one who eats at the feast. The Villagers who cooked it just left some food good for them and eat at their house.

The Elders thank Cloud and his gang for sacrificing their lives in or der to save some strangers. "I feel like this is my calling. To save people". When Cloud said this, the Villagers felt their hearts are melting. If they Idolized Cloud before then they Idolized him more.

"Is there something you want from us? We will give what we can. " The Chief said it to Cloud for another compensation. Cloud still thinking about what is it that he wants from them.

A girl ages 10 that has a ponytail hair with a floral shirt and denim jeans wearing a simple sandal run towards the Chief and sat at his lap.

"Ohhhhh who's that girl? "Cloud asked" She's the one who called me a scammer right? " As Cloud said this. The girl Blushed and hid her face.

" Ohhh. Mr.Cloud I'm sorry for my girl's rudeness. " The Chief stands and bow down.

"No no no no. Lift up your head. No need for sorry. Is it your child?" Cloud is curious about the kid.

"No. I just adopted her temporarily. Her parents died a week ago. They were killed by the scouts of demons. " As the Chief said this both of them, the girl Cried. The Chief explained to them that he is the closets to their family so he adopted her temporarily. She has no other relatives in this village.

" hey little girl. Will you come with me and get stronger to protect your village and avenge your family? " as Cloud proposed his intention, everyone got shocked. The girl is happy but still hesitating. She looked at his foster father and the Chief nodded.

" I.... Want to... Join your team... If... You... agreed. " the girl is still hesitating but the deals Cloud said is so benefitting for her and the villagers. Having a sworn ties with a strong entity to back them up if things got messy. It is a really great deal for them. Nothing to lose.

" I gave you my permission Ellah. " Chief patted her head as he gave his permission.

Cloud wave his hand to call the girl and asked her ." what is your name little girl? "

" My name is Ellah Girdum" The girl blushed. She felt embarrassed. Cloud just pat her head and then said something loudly. "I will you my disciple and hone your skill to the peak. ." everyone's eyes were wide open. Some who are drinking water, threw them out and everyone caught off guard by Cloud. The villagers looked at her and felt envy.

Everyone did not dared to talk. Then Chief Leon started clapping and everyone get back to their senses and then started clapping

"Congratulations Ellah"

"Ellah, dont forget about us here"

"good for you Ellah "

" WOW. MR. CLOUD SAW SOMETHING FROM YOU AND MAKE YOU HIS DISCIPLE "

****

Everyone is cheering for Ellah. Then when the Feast is done, Ellah take this chance to say goodbye to her friends. They cried and hugged each other. It is sad for her but this is the greatest choice she could take.

The Chief thanked again Cloud and his companions for saving them. Chief Leon also said that if they need something that they could provide, they will help.

After all of the farewells Cloud then take Ellah. He then threw Pyno in the air like a ball and then it transformed into an Ancient Colossal Dragon with an imposing and domineering aura.

They then sit on Pyno's back and flew away. The villagers waving at them. Their hearts are now at ease. They are so happy that they escaped death and planning to send some young ones to the city to school and be an adventurer next time and defend their village.

Pyno flew slower, Cloud didn't want Ellah to be Scared and he also wanted to see the scenery with Marina and Ellah.

Cloud looked at Marina and then their eyes met and Marina smiled. A sudden warm Cloud felt in his heart. She fall for her. Her genuine smile in her small face with her short hair in a ponytail and two different group of hair fall into her face in both side made her so cute and instantly catched Clouds heart.

Cloud now knew that Marina is a precious gem he should protect. Within the short time of them being together he already knew that Marina is the one for him and now he will make a move in order to catch her heart.

He then whispered "I will make you mine. Not now but soon"
