C23 The Fool Falls Fast

Nathan's gaze crossed the entire valley, it was rather vast, and the only central entrance inside the valley was down the north-west alley which was already a crowded place, with massive rocks and boulders that had already crowded the main entrance. He could already see the tree and already turned grassy area near the newly formed river; this was a perfect starting point for the town.

He turned to the small group to his left as he smiled at them all. Each of them looking at him with tired but proud faces as they had completed the mission that was assigned. He had acted godly and achieved extra points, which he had to eventually spend to buy some nice upgrades from the shop.

"Let's head down; I can see tents going up and I bet you all want to rest."

Kaye nodded her head as she started to head down, her eyes looking over as she watched Nathan beginning to move across the rocks, water already making all of the area wet as she was about to warn.

"Sir that area is rather wet, you may want to be careful..."

She felt her warning hit just a second too late as Nathan turned to look at her, his foot slipping across the smooth surface of a stone, his body twisting as he tripped over the side of the cliff, water and flying fishes ascending past him as he plummeted to the ground. The stone below catching up quickly as an echoing crack flooded across the valley.

Kaye, Kai and the others looking over as some citizens, Lee, Feya and Auryn coming over as well to the hole; which was around the size of a small crater. Nathan was laying face flat into the pit; surprisingly not a single scratch remained on his body as he struggled to pull himself from the human-made hole he had created.

Nathan let out a soft groan, the screens flashing in his face as he was still stuck inside the rock, trying to pull free as he let out a growl. "Stupid fucking system!" He said cursing into the stone as he continued trying to free himself. This time it was his fault that he had slipped, he had even worked so hard to avoid this exact situation.

Nathan let out a hiss as he eventually pulled himself free, his eyes looking at everyone with shame. He tried his best to hide it all down as he walked from the crater, passing by everyone with his eyes looking past them all as he continued walking. He could not make eye contact.

Feya's POV - Same Time

Feya's eyes had followed Auryn, looking up at the man as she watched the miracles happened, her heart beating rapidly as she knew this was going to change everyone's future. Water alone could provide them with the chance to expand; she knew many villages that had much in the way of food or supplies to get food. Water was the central issue in this massive place and towns in more remote locations needed water to survive.

"Let's go greet him and the team and get the reports. We need to plan the next operations as nightfall will be coming soon."

Lee said stroking his chin as he started to move, helping Auryn up as they both walked together, Feya coming alongside them as a few other guards and villagers followed behind. Feya noticed that Nathan started to move towards the edge, his body moving in an unorthodox way as he seemed to be wobbling.

"Is he going to fall?" She commented as she watched the man as if he was on a tightrope.

"He is the Demigod, I doubt that will happen," Lee said with a bright smile, which a few seconds later turned to a frown and then worries as he started to sprint over, Feya on his tail and Auryn getting helped by some others as they watched him fall from such a height.

A thunderous echoing crack moved across the valley as a massive cloud of dirt and stone came up, flying fish still flowing through the dust and landing into the water. The group stopping just at the edge as the dirt cloud obscured vision.

They waited, no one wanting to check on the potential flat corpse of the one who had saved them all and had provided such boons. Several other cracks could be heard in the distance as a figure in the distance rose, turning and walking towards them.

Feya felt like screaming zombie till she saw the resolved and focused face of Nathan moving past her and the others, continuing to walk like nothing had happened, his entire body seemed to be in outstanding shape with nothing wrong and even his clothing completely intact.

The cloud of dirt slowly fell to the floor, clearing up as the hole was rather large for a single man, it seemed that a battle against him and the earth took place, he won as the planet was dented and broken while the man walked freely past them.

"Did he do that on purpose?" Feya asked confused; she was wondering what the point of this. If someone did that on accident, then they usually acted humble and tried to play it off, while Nathan quietly moved on like nothing had happened, like it was meant to happen and was a regular thing.

Lee Shee and Auryn just stood stunned as they both looked over the hole and then back to the Man who was walking past everyone without saying a word, his back so large that everyone felt dwarfed behind it.

"How can a Man so small and skinny be so large."

Feya mentioned as the others nodded, watching him move off towards the west.

This was how the legends began and how the Sanctuary was born.
