The Bar

They walked for some time amidst the vast darkness until Marlis stopped.

"Wain, I'm still not sure how to relate to you, but I only saved you because the one, no... the only person dear to me in this world asked me to, so... You should be very grateful for that." Marlis said with a serious look as her cheeks flushed slightly. 

She waved her hand as she sent a green pulse of energy into the darkness. A few seconds later, the same pulse headed toward them, only white, then the darkness trembled as a gray frame appeared.

Whoooooosh.

The frame shone brightly as together it became a simple wooden door that led to a place Wain knew well.

"Sven's bar...?" Wain muttered while in disbelief as his eyes went wide.

At the same moment, various fragments of memories began to form in Wain's mind into a coherent picture.

'It was he who saved me back then! Was it really a mismatch that I met him in the beginning?" Wain wondered with a dazed look.
