10 Departure

Emily rushes into her Father's office as he is in the meeting with a hooded man. "Who is this father?" Emily asks as her father and the hooded man looks at her. "No one of your concern." Emily stomps her feet startling everyone in the room. "If this is the man who is going to kill Azu, then you better go kill him yourself!" Emily runs out of the room crying. That idiot how could he just leave like that, Emily thought, as she runs outside of her house and onto the front lawn.

"Azu if you can hear me, make sure you come back here without some random girl you pick up. I will always be with you! Do you hear me, you idiot!" Emily screamed at the very top of her lungs, the whole town could hear her. "Yeah, yeah, I hear you Em," Azuka says to himself as he oversees his home town, while riding on the back of a horse like creature.

Azuka brings out a piece of paper from his pocket that had a word that was not in the usual language that he spoke. I heard from the librarian that this was the language of the Giants, Azuka thought. "So, Emilia, we are going to the west, to the Giant Kingdom and getting us a translator to our first clue of where to find a God's treasure," Azuka says to his horse like creature, whose name appeared to be Emilia, whilst pointing west. Azuka slaps Emilia's butt and the creature lets out an inhumanly screech as it begins galloping to the west. "Slow down there, Emilia!"

Back at the Town of Deities, Lambgarde estate, where the Mayor is holding a meeting with the Bounty Hunter. The Bounty Hunter looks unpleased with the Mayor. "What seems to be the problem, Hunter?" The Bounty Hunter shakes his head as he sees Azuka's bounty, "First you set a bounty on the kid, and now you are hiring a Bounty Hunter to go and get the kid. What's the point of the Bounty, that just gives me more challenges." The Mayor smirks, "Not necessarily, yes there may be some more competition, but I heard from your peers that you love competition. Am I right Hunter?"

The Mayor could see the huge grin on the Bounty Hunter's face as he looked over Azuka's photo. "One million cels, some people would actually kill for that." the Hunter said while lying back on his chair. "Oh, yeah, I doubled the bounty for him." the Hunter almost falls out of his chair as he hears the news. "Are you crazy, are you trying to get him killed out there?" The Mayor with no hesitations responds, "Of course. He deflowered my daughter once, and he has done it again. He also is a criminal who was trained by another criminal. If I can get rid of him, then I can get rid of Kennith McDove. Anyway, Hunter, you better start chasing after him, because right about now. His bounty is being made public."

The Hunter grabs, Azuka's photo and starts to leave the Mayor's office. When he stops mid-way and turns back around. "Do you have a lead?" Hunter asks. The Mayor, takes out a piece of tattered clothing from his desk and gives it to the Hunter. "That piece of cloth is the same clothes he wore when he came to my house that first ti-" the Hunter quickly leaves the office and out of the house, and hops onto his horse-like creature. The name of this horse-like species are called the Wanboos. They screech like eagles, but look like a horse, with an eagles beak.

"Remember this scent, Wanda," the Hunter holds up the piece of cloth to his Wanboo's nose. After a few seconds of sniffing, Wanda begins to head west, toward Azuka.

A few hours later, Emilia finally stopped moving due to exhaustion. Azuka gets off of Emilia and rubs her head, "There, there girl," Emilia lets off another inhuman screech as Azuka checks his belongings. He had a bag containing a book about the God of Fire, Izu, a bag of cels, a bag of food, a photo of Emily, a set of clothes, and pieces of paper written in a foreign language. Azuka takes out the photo of Emily and looks at it for a few seconds and puts it back. He then takes out the book and flips through the pages.

He stops at a page titled with the same foreign language as the other pieces of paper. The librarian said that this was written in the language of the Giants too, he thought. Azuka sighs and puts the book back into his bag. He sits down and lies back on the lying Emilia. He inhales deeply and looks around at the beautiful, green valley, it was completely covered in grass as far as he could see. He exhales, "I can't believe I've never seen the valley like this. Emily would love this." The only thing keeping the valley from being even more beautiful would be the ramps of grass leading to other Kingdoms.

To the west was the Giant Kingdom, it resided in a forest with trees towering even sky scrapers. To the east was the Sea People, who ironically live within an ocean. To the north was the Dragon Kingdom, some say that the King of the Dragons have been dead for years, but then again, no one cares for Dragons. To the south lies the Terrif Kingdom, the King is said to be so powerful that he is considered the King of Humans.

Azuka closes his eyes and dreams about him beating Kennith. However his dream is shortly ended when he is wakened up by a gun to his nose. He doesn't open his eyes and waits to see if the person holding the gun is a thief or not. "Hurry up and search the bag," the thief said to his accomplice, quietly as not to wake Azuka up. "What if he wakes up," the accomplice asks, hesitating to search the bag. "If he does, I can just blow his head off," the thief replies in a loud voice. They both cover their mouths as they look at Azuka to see if he had waken up.

The thief turns to look at his accomplice, "This guy is a deep sleeper, so it's going to be fine-" As the thief says this, a flaming fist hits him on the side of his face causing the thief to go flying and becoming unconscious. The accomplice's pants becomes drenched around the crotch area as Azuka gets up from his nap. "Its a shame you decided to steal from not only a thief but a God!" The accomplice, beyond frightened, runs away in the opposite direction of Azuka. Azuka thinks about engaging, but doesn't, he watches him run away as he checks his bag to make sure everything is in tact.

"Perfect, everything is here," he says to himself. He looks at the accomplice, who is considerably slow, struggling to run and keep his pants up. "Maybe I'll go ahead and catch him, he looks a bit on the scrawny side, but he could prove to be a helpful." Azuka stretches his body as he goes into a running stance and starts dashing toward the accomplice. However he stops and quickly backs up as he hears something rolling down into the valley. He looks to the west and hears trees breaking, "What the hell-" Suddenly a massive person, at least 3 times the size of Azuka, comes rolling down and lands onto the accomplice.

"Holy- Is that a Giant?" Azuka screams.
