On The Edge Of Another World 2
Finally, the time of their departure came.
Tarou stood down to carry Anna and Dylan on His back.
- Tarou are you sure about this? The two of us will be too much for you to handle.
- Don't worry, mom. You are so light and Dylan is thin as well. I wouldn't take the risk of flying with both of you in such weather if I wasn't sure of myself.
He spread his big wings and hold Sarra's hand:
- Are you ready?
She nodded her head while smiling:
- Let's go.
Tarou took a final look at Aaron:
- We will meet in front of the gate. Don't forget what I told you...have a safe trip.
- You too, brother. Be careful.
Tarou flapped his wings and started flying slowly.
- HOLD ON TIGHT.
Then he headed directly to the sky and disappeared. Diana was watching while looking very surprised:
- He can fly for real?
At that moment, Aaron carried Diana without notice:
- WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- It's our turn, we have to go right now.
Aaron approached the edge of the mountain, then he stood up while looking at the bottom.
- Are you ready?
Diana became terrified when she saw how far they were from the ground.
- READY FOR WHAT? YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT, RIGHT?
Aaron smiled, then he jumped from the mountain. Diana was terrified by the sudden jump, she wrapped her arms around Aaron's neck and held onto him with all her power.
- AAAAAAAAGH
Aaron kept jumping over the rocks without a stop until he finally reached the bottom.
Diana opened her eyes to make sure that she is still alive.
- YOU CRAZY MONSTER!
She pushed Aaron which made her fall into the snow that was covering the whole place:
- WHY DID YOU DO THAT SO SUDDENLY? I WAS GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK.
Aaron pulled her out of the snow:
- I'm sorry for surprising you, but we must hurry up. We don't have much time before dawn. Just trust me. I won't let anything happen to you.
Diana blushed right away :
- Fine, but before doing something like that, again, warn me.
Aaron carried Diana again then he took a deep breath and started running as fast as he could.
Diana didn't find a choice but to hold onto him without struggling.
Meanwhile, Tarou and Sarra were flying above:
- Do you want some help, Tarou?
- What can you possibly do, Dylan?
- I can hold Sarra's hand for you.
- Do you know? If I throw you right now, from my back, it will help me a lot.
- Fine, fine, I was just kidding, why are you so tense?
- Look ahead of you and you will know. There is a storm in front of us, Hold on everyone.
Tarou was very worried about everyone.
" If I was alone, I wouldn't be worried this much, but having Anna, and Dylan riding my back, will slow my moves. I hope nothing major happens while passing through that storm. "
Tarou tried to avoid it, but he couldn't. After a few moments, he found himself struggling to keep flying, due to the strong wind.
- BE CAREFUL, EVERYONE.
They could barely open their eyes and see anything around them.
Tarou tried his best to continue flying. The extra weight on his back made him feel exhausted.
Sarra was falling behind, she couldn't keep up because of the strong wind. Tarou was holding her hand tightly while pulling her along with him, but it made him even more tired.
Sarra noticed his struggle:
" At this rate, Tarou will end up falling. I must do something to save Dylan and Anna. Their lives will be in great danger if something happens to him. '
Sarra grabbed Tarou's hand:
- What's wrong, Sarra?
She smiled at him:
- We will meet again, at the gate. Take Anna and Dylan to safety.
Then she pulled off her hand and disappeared, behind, in the storm.
Tarou freaked out:
- SARRA?
Tarou didn't know what he must do. Keep flying or go back for Sarra.
- TAROU, THE WIND IS GETTING STRONGER. I THINK WE MUST WAIT UNTIL THE STORM CALM DOWN A BIT.
- ANNA IS RIGHT. WE MUST GET DOWN TO THE GROUND, OR WE ALL GOING TO DIE.
At that moment Tarou decided to go back to Sarra.
" Right, I can't leave without Sarra. She doesn't know the place and she won't be able to find the gate on her own. I must search for her. "
He approached the ground and then he noticed a small cave where he landed:
- Stay in this cave, I'm going to search for Sarra. Dylan, please take care of Anna.
- Don't worry about us, just go...
Tarou started searching for Sarra everywhere. He kept shouting her name while flying around.
- SARRA...SARRA...WHERE ARE YOU?
The strong wind and the falling snow made it so hard for him to see anything.
" She is a witch, she can take care of herself, right? But why I couldn't find her? What if she is in danger? What should I do? The storm made it impossible for me to find her."
Tarou felt hopeless, he was very worried about her. Seeing her smiling face was the only thing he wished for at that moment.
At the same time, Aaron was still running while carrying Anna. They were also facing the storm, but this time Aaron wasn't affected by it.
- Aren't you tired? Shouldn't we rest for a little bit?
- I'm fine.
- BUT I'M NOT.
Aaron stopped right away:
- Fine, we still have time, let's take a break.
Diana was feeling nauseous, she sat down and took a deep breath.
- Are you feeling better now?
- Yeah, I brought some snacks with me, have one.
- Thanks.
- After finding the stone, what are you planning to do?
- I still don't know yet. Maybe finding a solution for this black power. What about you?
- Visiting the hollow earth is my biggest dream, I think I'm going to stay there.
Replied Diana while smiling.
