Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 285: Not kids



Rain\'s foremost fear revolved around the safety of his beloved sisters. Yet, he found himself caught in a disheartening cycle of worry, endlessly circling anxious thoughts about their well-being. Realizing the futility of dwelling on these distressing scenarios, he forcibly pushed those troubling ideas aside.

"Although this is a trip for me and my sisters to enjoy some time off, we are going ahead as fast as possible, so it might be a bit intense," Rain said when they went to the garden and then saw their luggage. "That is what I wanted to say, but with so much stuff, I guess it will be faster if we walk instead."

Although he said that, Rain created an earth platform and then closed it from the sides to protect the group from the wind. Eventually, everyone jumped on it, and then they left the capital in the darkness of the night.

Thanks to the platform, Dana, Kei, and Gila sure looked excited when they began to fly. Rain taught them how to do the same, but they didn\'t have enough confidence to do the same without risking falling.

"I guess I will use the Wizard\'s path to gain more experience during the trip," Rain thought.

Although the seats were a bit rough, the trip was quite pleasant for everyone. Rain\'s control over his magic lets him make the platform fly with insane stability.

"Big bro, can we see the other side?" Dana asked. "I want to see how high we are and if we can still see the capital from here."

"I wouldn\'t recommend it. It will get cold," Rain replied.

"Pleaseeeee," Dana said.

"I warned you," Rain shrugged.

Rain created a small window on the back of the block, and then Dana, Kei, and Gila looked through it. Still, they only saw darkness and some lights of the capital disappearing in the distance. At the same time, even though the wind was coming from the opposite direction, the girls felt the cold taking over the block, and their cloaks didn\'t help that much.

"I told you," Rain said and then sealed the window before closing his eyes and focusing on the task ahead.

"Rain sure spoils his sisters rotten," Jori said and then laughed.

"I bet that he will do the same with his kids. He will give a lot of work to his wife," Reca said. "I pity her."

"Maybe I will have more than one to make them split the workload," Rain said.

"Big words for someone who didn\'t even have a single girlfriend yet," Asche said while furrowing her eyebrows.

"How many kids do you even want to have?" Terra asked. "Even though people think of you as a hero, still just like all the other guys."

"That isn\'t something you usually ask a thirteen-year-old boy, but I guess that shows that you are a true friend. Friend, friend, friend," Rain replied. "How about eleven? Enough to make a football team."

"I don\'t know what a football team is, and why did you repeat the word friend numerous times?" Terra frowned.

Rain decided to ignore the question since he had to focus on flying the platform, and he was losing speed. At the same time, Rain had to use potions every hour, so he had to make them worth the while. Even though he still had some of the ones that he got from the magic people and the ones that Karla gave to him.

Despite that, the trip to the northern side of the country only took around thirty-six hours. When they found the port city in the distance, Rain decided that they should stretch their legs a bit… The sun was rising, so they should arrive in the port town ready for action.

"Can you see anything odd in the town from here?" Jori asked while squinting his eyes and looking in the distance.

"Seems pretty normal to me," Asche said while looking around. "Still, at this hour, a lot of wagons would leave and enter the town, so it seemed that the place wasn\'t open for business."

"We are going to the town. You three make sure to stay quiet and follow us, okay?" Rain asked. "Keep an eye on us all the time."

"We know we aren\'t kids," Dana said.

Rain wanted to agree with that and say that she wasn\'t a kid. She was worse, a teenager, and Rain was still too young to worry about looking after them when he was one himself.

In any case, the group approached the town and realized that the place was a lot quieter than they had imagined… The sea folk probably couldn\'t stay out of the water for long, but the sea monsters probably didn\'t have that many limitations.

When the group reached the gates, they only saw a couple of guards there, and they recognized Rain and the others, but they frowned when they saw Dana, Kei, and Gila… that wasn\'t a place that kids should be, after all. Still, the guards didn\'t stop them.
