5 For The Boy Who Is Like Fire

Vale looked over the horizon before he dawned over the entire Kingdom of Wind and Fire. He showed no interest at the citizens walking around in the broad daylight till he saw a familiar hairstyle among them. He was struck on the choice to approach in which he did after he hesitated for a few seconds, turning his back and not.

Vale sent a wave of wind to swerve him around with a flick of his hand and when

"你好吗, 子龙? 我看你最近还长得不错, 是不是用了一些法宝? 来分享一下吧. (How are you, Zilong? I see you have been very conservative of your appearance. Have you been using anything lately? Why don't you share some with me?)", he said teasingly.

"维尔, 我看你还是跟以前一样还是很喜欢晒. 我的法宝我猜你是不用了. (Vale, I see you still like going under the sun, I don't think you'll need the products I use for my face.)", the handsome warrior laughed along with his friend.

" 哦? 你是这样子想的吗? 皮肤晒干了越是需要保养. (Oh, is that it? I thought skin that have gone under the sun needs more attention, doesn't it?)"

The both of them burst into laughter of what they had just said, which drew quite the attention from the people walking around. Well, it wasn't everyday that you could see the New King of Kingdom of Winds laughing with some Chinese general in the middle of the streets.

"Alright, stop.", said Zilong holding on to his stomach.

"What's the real reason you have stopped me in my tracks, Vale?", Zilong questioned after cooling down.

"It's about Valir. The Professor said he vanished after learning all he can and fusing it with his own magic. Such forces left uncontrolled may lead to cataclysmic results and it may effect the balance of this world."

"So, in short you want me to find him and bring him to you?", Zilong confirmed with a questioning face. Vale was stunned for a while before he answered, "Yes."

Not everyone could understand what he was getting to all the time but Zilong gets it quite easily unlike anyone.

"Why don't you hire another assasin or something? They're quite good on the stealth side."

"But so are they with killing. I don't quite enjoy their protocol of getting the work done."

"So, it's you think a general can get the work done for you?"

"Every king needs a trustworthy person by their side once in awhile."

"Fine. I'll include commissions too if you want him safe."

"Deal!", he said before he slapped his hands with him and shoke on it.

Though scorching sun had went to sleep, but Valir was not at all bothered by the absence of light. He was light itself after all. Though he could not reject the fact that he couldn't feel the warmth from his own fire anymore. He felt empty. He tried reaching his hand into the fire, but he just felt nothing. As he withdraw his hand, he studied it continuously though he had many times and the result was always the same, unscathed, perfect and glowing.

He finally broke out in cackle, like a mad man, he said to himself, "Oh brother, how I've missed you! Wait till you see this and you'll know how much I've grown in power!"
