78. Nameless Part 1

A while has passed since the incident with the mysterious warrior, no one seemed to care much about that stranger since they assumed he will be working in secret.

Thanks to that, warriors moved back to their raids in their given dungeons, people calmed down, and peace started to claim back its rights around the globe.

All through that time, Earth finally reached an agreement with Nature to release the new system with all the information it needs, especially about Warrior 01, aka Aisha. Why did they focus on her?

Because she went missing and there's no news about her, Cleopatra said she was supposed to go on a training journey alone so she can manage and control Dark Mana but that didn't let them calm down, on the other hand, they got more worried about her and what might happen to her.

Dark Mana has always been bad news for everyone, and the fact that the mist is still around meant Aisha is still far from controlling it, which also means she's still weak compared to the previous masters.

Earth walked out of the core and went to the surface to see the sunlight, they changed their form and walked between the crowds until they reached a park. The green view made them inhale before exhaling heavily as if aging became now a problem for this old warrior.

Throughout their life, Earth was lost, they were nothing, with no plans, no future, not even a name to identify them.

When they met for the first time, the Dark Mana master was a scary and cold-blooded man, he wasn't nice or sweet, and he would always ignore them, even when they were being punished by their so-called protectors. But one day, he suddenly started to behave differently, it was weird at first, but Earth welcomed his kindness from him happily. It started with treats, then he started giving them clothes, and after that, he invited them to dinner ditching away those who were to watch after them in the orphanage.

The elders there couldn't say a thing because the Dark Mana master was a scary man and wasn't someone to mess up with.

A few days passed and the master's care didn't vanish, on the other hand, it had increased and Earth kept clinging to it fearing it will suddenly fade away like their future.

Though back then Earth was a kid in their teenage faze, Dark Mana master's care kept falling like waterful, the comfort was unbelievably wonderful that their terrible health became the least of their concern.

The older didn't notice anything wrong because the kid was behaving like all other normal kids until one day when it had finally reached its peak, Earth dropped sick with terrible flu, or that's what the doctor had told the elder.

They remained in bed, through that time, they felt Dark Mana master will leave them now since they were bedridden and probably on deathbed at that since they had neglected their health for the sake of remaining by the old's side.

"I'm- Sorry" they wheezed trying to start a conversation because the silence was suddenly scary.

"Why are you apologizing?" The old man asked while cleaning their head from all the sweat forming on their forehead.

"I'm- I'm not, cough, cough, a heal- Healthy-"

"And what if you're not? Does that mean you want me to leave?" Earth gasped and stared at the elderly in surprise, they didn't know how to feel about what they just heard, should they be happy because he will take care of them? Or afraid this all is unreal and they'll be left alone once they feel better?

"Does that mean you won't leave me? Even after I get better?" They tried to smile though they were in so much pain, their eyes got heavy and they almost shut their eyes when they caught a glimpse of the elder's face, his smiling face was clear for seconds before Earth's eyes finally decided to rest and wait for tomorrow impatiently to see the elder's relaxed and stoic face.

"Sigh" Earth opened their eyes and stared at the blue sky one last time before they closed them again and smile from the sudden rush of happiness, "I can't believe I'm missing you" they mumbled.
