Thankful

Cross was extremely furious. He was being used by the Hitoshi ninja known as Akashiri the entire time. He exclusively tagged along only all those years just to milk the benefits and perks. The next time Cross saw Akashiri he would treat him not as a friend, but as one of his most hated enemies. As Cross, Orion, Sarah, Lucia, Jagger, and Master Irwin were about to leave the Island Of Saint Isi, they were confronted by the locals of the island who carried gardening tools they used as weapons. One of the locals was named Ulric. Ulric was at least 60 years old. He wore a long brown long sleeve shirt, a leather belt, blue pants, and dirty heavy boots. He also wore gloves. He carried a shovel that had smears of blood on the tip of it. Ulric wore a dirty straw hat filled with holes. He walked up to Cross spitting out brown tobacco. He had a serious expression on his face. Suddenly he pulled out a sack filled with gold coins. He placed a smile on his face. " I will like to thank you and your friends for freeing us from Victor Zen's grip. Before bandits invaded our island, it was peaceful." We welcomed everyone and anyone." Until he came and scared into serving him, giving up all our diamonds and gold." We are free. Cross opened the hefty leather sac. Those are extremely valuable diamonds. Spend them wisely." Cross nodded and said: Thank you." We all are." All the locals could now go back to their normal peaceful lives.
