บท 289: Meeting Two Old Friends

The last time John had seen Leah and Elliot was back in his homelands, when he had roamed the Skycleave Forests with them for a few weeks. They had fought many beasts together, and had eventually parted after spending several weeks together.

However, he had formed a bond of friendship with them at that time, as they had been sincere and friendly in their interactions with him, despite their strengths being far above his at the time.

"John?" Leah called out in slight confusion.

John had aged slightly since they last met, becoming taller, more muscular, and his face had matured a bit as well. Not only that, but his features right now were quite distracting as well, with his long disheveled hair, and blood covering most of his body.

Leah wasn't completely sure it was John at first, but after his greeting, she became positive it was him.

"What are you doing here?" Elliot asked in a confused voice as he slowly started to stand up.
