Future

The man was surprised to see Elijah, so he ran away. Elijah did not know why the man ran. He chased him even the road is slippery because of the moss. He lost sight of him so it was difficult for him to find the man. When he heard a crack, he went to the part where he heard the sound.

He saw the old man sitting in the mud while rubbing his left foot. He tried to approach but the man backed away.

"What do you need and why are you following me?" The old man asked while wearing his scarred face.

"I have no intention to hurt you. I just wanted to ask something. Why did you run after you saw me?"

The old man did not answer. Elijah tried to approach him again. This time — the old man didn't try to run away. Elijah didn't know if it was because he's now calm or because he could no longer walk.

Elijah went in front of him and offered his hand, so the man could stand away from the mud. He was surprised when the man accepted his hand.
