Chapter 11: New Adventure
After saying goodbye to the king of thieves oza showed the ori the treasure he and gabriela had found. Ori looked on amazed at the mountains of treasure that were there, oza then suggested his idea.
"We either give this to the people who need it or we burn it all, It's your call ori."
"I say we give it to the people, just south from here remember the children? They had a village there that looked like it was barely getting by."
"Well then let's load up the useful things that we can give and leave the other treasures."
"Alright then and oza.." oza looked at ori with a curious gaze "Thank you.. for giving arthur the proper send off he deserved."
"It was nothing."
Ori than as thanks told oza to rest by the wyverns and he'll do the packing, tired and not wanting to argue with the stubborn young male he went along with it. A few minutes passed by a pop up appeared..

"Huh, a secret side quest.. Hey ali i should do it right?" ali appeared beside him reading the info
"It's up to you oza but i say you should.. We have one more day before sir daniel awaits our return." Oza hit accept and dismissed the pop up
"Well i guess.. and it would seem cruel to leave just like th-"
"Oza?" gabriela appearing out of nowhere shocking oza. "Who were you talking too just now?"
"N-no one.. You know it's rude jumping out of nowhere like that." ali just chuckled as she soon dispersed into blue pixels..
"S-sorry i was just informed of your plan with the treasures and i appreciate all you're doing.. Our agreement was just for you to help defeat the arthur but.."
"Listen this me wanting to help, don't find a deeper meaning to it kay?"
gabriela nodded as oza patted her head and left to help ori. After packing and getting ready the trio left to go to the south village. After flying for a bit they finally arrived, they landed just outside the village, oza and ori got off as they had two bags each filled with gold. As they entered the village they saw some very familiar faces.
"Hey! Look it's them! Mr. Adventurer!" One of the children that oza saved recognized him straight away. Him along with two others ran towards oza tackling him into a group hug making him drop the bags of gold.
"What are you doing here mister?"
"Yeah! We thought we wouldn't see you again!" he separated from the group hug and patted them all on the head
"Well here i am! And now that i met you all gain how about we have a proper introduction?" they all nodded excitedly as one by one they answered.
"I'm Nana!"
"I'm Taka!"
"I'm Hori!'
"It's nice to finally meet you three. I'm Oza and these two with me are gabriela and ori." They both waved with a small smile on their faces. "I was going to ask you three i'm here on a super secret mission will you three help me out?" The kids had stars in their eyes as they rapidly nodded "Alright! Can you three show where the village chief is? And after that i'll give you guys a super secret mission as well."
The kids cheered as they led the way. As they entered the peaceful village all the people were very welcoming, greeting oza and the others with a smile. They arrived to see a pretty big but old house.
"So is this where he lives?"
"Yeah! Now what's our mission?" hori asked "We wanna do it right away!"
"Yes yes.. Your mission is.. To play with gabriela and ori! But they must be super happy and make sure they're having fun.. if you fail they will become grumpy." the three nodded while ori and gabriela had confused faces. Oza just shooed them away while the trio dragged ori and gabriela away. Ali then appeared in a crossed arm position and a small smile on her face.
"So what was your plan?"
"I just wanted them to relax, they deserve that much."
"Speak for yourself you haven't slept since the fight."
"It's just that.. if we finish this quest i might not be able to see them."
"That may not be the case, now before that let's finish this side quest."
"Yeah, you're right."
They entered the house and oza was greeted by a old man who had welcoming smile to his face.
"Hello young man, It's very nice to meet you."
"Yes, the pleasure is all mine. I don't have much time but please accept these as a gift." he then reached for the four bags of gold that he had and offered them to the chief. The chief opened u[ the bag and was shocked to see the contents.
"B-but this is too much! We can't possibly repay this much.."
"Listen old man it's fine give your village what it needs.. I saw your crops haven't been doing good being in such a remote place and you guys are in poverty there's a small city not just far from here buy the necessities you guys need." The old man started to tear as he hugged oza..
"Thank you.. thank you very much.. My son died because of the monsters and he was the only source of income here.. this.. this will help our village greatly.. you are an angel sent by the heavens."
Oza hugged back as he smiled, after separating the old man began to do some calls and oza left. As he closed the door behind him he saw gabriela and ori happily playing with the children. The villagers were lively as well going about their day as they would. Oza smiled once again as he finally checked the rewards he got.

"You know ali.. We should leave."
"Why? Do you not want to at least say something to ori and gabriela?"
"Fine.." A notification appeared but oza dismissed it. He made his way towards the two were sitting on a bench. "Hey, Where are the kids?"
"Oh ori took them back to their parents."
"They were really hyper made me kinda sleepy haha." Oza smiled as he sat with them. "Oza thanks.. We both know you did that so we could rest and enjoy ourselves."
"Yeah.. Hey.. i have to tell you both something." gabriela and ori just listened so oza continued "This may be the last time we all meet." Gabriela was shocked and ori was confused at the sudden statement.
"Why do you say so oza? Did me and ori do something wrong?"
"No, Not at all you both have been amazing friends.. and in the short amount of time we spent together i formed a bond with you both.. it's with this that i have to admit to the both of you.. that.. i'm not from here."
"What do you mean oza?"
"I'm from a different world that was summoned here to assist you both, and since we completed our task i have to leave." oza looked down sad but the least thing he expected was for them to hug him..
"Oza we really wish you could stay with us. It'll be lonely with just me and gabriela."
"Yes, and i hope you're wrong, we will meet again i just know it."
Oza returned the hugs he separated from them as he stood a ways away from them. He opened up the notification to see the pop up

"I guess this is goodbye." His body started to turn into blue pixels as ori and gabriela could only watch. "Take care of this village until we meet again."
"Oza! You better come back! Alright?!"
"We'll miss you."
"I'll miss you both too.. Make sure this village turns into something beautiful and don't you both dare act sad."
They both nodded as they gave a final smile to oza as his body disappeared and turned into blue pixels. Oza who was transported back opened his eyes as he examined his surroundings..
"I'm back.."
He looked at the spot where the portal first appeared and gave a sad smile. He grabbed his things as ali appeared to support him, they both entered the town to be greeted by some of the townsfolk. Oza smiled as he was welcomed like a family member who went away. They all celebrated a little feast at the main office. Oza looked at the happy people that welcomed him as he sighed..
"This.. this is what i meant that i had something to protect.. And now i new adventure awaits."
