章節 8: Chapter 8:Being lucky isn't for everyone
It was already daylight on the island and the fog had disappeared.
Looking at a beach on the side of the island one could see that it was littered with pieces of a ship.
Suddenly on the shore, a person came out of the water and then walked to the beach to drop on the sand.
The person was a man with red hair and a torn shirt, brown pants, and a holster with a revolver under his left armpit.
This was Adryan Kenway who had spent the last three hours swimming his way to the island.
He was alone and there was no sign of anyone else on the entire beach.
'Shit, I didn't think the explosion would have been that big,' Adryan thought as he sat up holding his stomach.
Peeling off his shirt, Adryan checked his injuries.
He had a large number of scratches and bruises all over his body from the explosion, a large scratch on his chest, and a huge black bruise on his stomach which would be where James kicked him.
'And I thought Tames kicked hard'- he said with a sigh, he couldn't check his back but it should be the same as his stomach.
Sighing again, Adryan put his torn shirt back on and then took the revolver out of its holster and opened the cylinder, removing the casings and putting in new bullets, he still had 11 bullets left.
Now he was going to check the remains of the ship that managed to reach the beach.
Hoping to find some new clothes since he couldn't meet people the way he looked now.
He spent an hour going through the remains but couldn't find anything of use.
Giving up and thinking that he would have to steal clothes, he was about to leave when he saw that the tide was washing something black on the beach.
He looked and saw what looked like a body that was so burned that it was no longer recognizable, the only thing that could be said was its great size of 2.60 meters.
Holding the revolver firmly, Adryan pointed at the body, approaching slowly but when he got closer he proceeded to put the revolver back in its holster.
It was James who lost control but he was dead.
He said that because there was a huge piece of wood impaling him from his right hip until it came out of his left shoulder.
Analyzing his body there was nothing useful if there ever was, the explosion destroyed it.
He looked at James's left arm and noticed that it was covered in fur.
A little puzzled, he looked at it a little better but then he felt a strong pang in his head.
Realizing what it was, Adryan quickly moved as far away from the body as possible.
When a Beyonder loses control, it leaves a sealed artifact behind when it dies.
James's left arm was one of them and Adryan, being a normal person, had no way of dealing with it.
'I shouldn't touch it, but it's an artifact from a sequence 7 Beyonder, it will be very dangerous for someone to find it and touch it' Quickly thinking of what to do, Adryan looked at the body from a good distance away, but something behind the body caught his attention.
It was a blue suitcase that was floating on the surface of the water so Adryan quickly went back into the water to pick it up.
Back on the beach away from James's body, we can see how Adryan was trying to open the suitcase.
Being one with a lock with a four-number combination Adryan wasn't going to spend his time trying all the combinations so he was hitting it with a rock.
After the fifth blow, the lock finally broke allowing him to see what was inside.
It was a black suit with a white shirt, shoes, and a cane.
There was also a wallet that contained 6 pounds and 13 solis.
This caused Adryan to burst into laughter and tears finally a bit of luck for him.
After the shit that happened as soon as he woke up, this certainly made him happy to tears.
He quickly dug a hole behind a tree and buried his old clothes there.
And then he quickly went into the water to wash off the blood better and changed into the black suit.
Picking up the suitcase, Adryan looked out over the ocean, trying to see if he could see Alice and Sarah.
But nothing else washed ashore so all Adryan could do was bow to the sea in honor of Alice and Sarah and the people who stayed inside the boat.
Hoping that their souls would find peace in the Divine Realm of their Gods and also hoping the blonde sisters survived but ended up on another island.
After that, he quickly left the beach in the direction of the port...
After not a very long walk, he finally managed to get there, so quickly moving between the houses and towards what seemed to be a restaurant, he entered and sat down at one of the free tables.
The people there looked at him strangely but after that they ignored him. This calmed down Adryan greatly and once again he blessed his luck with the suitcase.
After a while, a waiter came to his table with a notebook ready to write down this redhead's order.
"Good Morning Sir Welcome to 'Green Lemon Restaurant' Is there anything you would like to order?"
When the waiter said that, he could see how the gentleman in front of him turned pale and his eyes widened.
Surprised by this, the waiter quickly spoke again, worried that the gentleman would go into cardiac arrest.
"Sir, are you okay, if you like, I will bring you a glass of water"
Adryan, still very stunned by the waiter's words, simply looked at him and asked.
"Sorry yes I'm fine but what did you say the name of the restaurant was?"
"Sir, this is the 'Green Lemon Restaurant', the most famous restaurant in all of Bansy Harbort"-
Was the proud response of the waiter.
"I would like lunch for the day and a glass of cold water please" - was Adryan's mechanical response.
The waiter noted down Adryan's order and bowed slightly.
"Perfect sir, I'll bring you your lunch in a while"
With that said the waiter went to deliver his order leaving Adryan alone again.
'Wasn't it that my luck had improved? Why of all places did I have to stop at Bansy Harbort?'-asked Adryan in his head, cursing his luck and thinking that as soon as he had lunch, he would try to buy the first boat ticket to get out of here.
Thunder and heavy rain started suddenly outside the restaurant and the waiters stopped everything they were doing and went to close the door and windows and put up barricades.
A man suddenly raised his voice.
"Listen everyone until the storm passes no one can go out so please those who have a room go to rest and those who do not have one will be provided by the restaurant"
'I'm an unlucky bastard' -was what Adryan thought with disdain
章節 9: Chapter 9: Another Dream and Unlucky Bastard
When the waiter who served him closed the door to his room, Adryan looked around.
It was a small room with a small bed and a small desk with red walls and a barricaded window, there was nothing else.
Considering that this is a room for those who did not already have one in the restaurant, the quality was quite decent.
Taking off his shoes and shirt, Adryan sat on the bed looking at the floor.
He had managed to escape from his captors and was finally going to sleep in a real bed, although barely three days had passed since he woke up, it had been the closest experience to death that he had ever had.
He was so tired and now he could sleep peacefully....
Ignoring the strong storm outside, Adryan lay down on the bed and let the world of dreams wrap him up again.
In his dream, Adryan found himself at home again, only he was in the living room watching television but this time he was with his brother.
His brother was still the same as he remembered, he was 1.78m tall and was a gym man and had good muscles, not like one of those bloated ones but like those of swimmers.
He had their mom's tanned skin and another difference between them was that he didn't like to have a beard so he always had a clean-shaven chin and neatly trimmed hair.
He was a party guy so many times he would be out while he stayed home sleeping or reading novels.
But despite these personality differences they still loved each other and found common topics to talk about.
Being videogames, movies, or series....
Now they were watching one of their all-time favorite shows.
'El Chavo del 8' the two of them whenever an episode was reproduced would see it.
Looking in the upper left corner of the TV, Adryan could see the date.
"December 23, 2022, seems to be the same day as the last one" - he said to himself as he turned again to see his brother and his previous body.
Seeing that nothing else was happening unlike the last dream, Adryan took the opportunity to sit next to his brother to watch the episode with them....
Halfway through the episode, he saw how his previous self turned to look at his brother.
"Cruyff, you don't mind if I ask you something?"
"No, what's up Joa?"
"Don't you feel like there's a weird aura going on lately?"
"Did you smoke weed or something? Everything feels the same as ever"
"Yes you're right, maybe it was that horror movie marathon I did a few days ago, it still gives me a chill," Joa said as he laughed and they went back to watching TV.
Seeing the short interaction, Adryan simply shook his head and continued watching TV with his past self and his brother but his mind began to wander.
His younger brother was called Cruyff in honor of a soccer player because his dad was a big fan of him, remembering a little his mom told him that even his dad was going to name him Maradona but she stopped him and they ended up calling him Joa....
Laughing somewhat sadly at the memory, he returned his attention to the TV.
While all this was happening in Adryan's dream, in the real world things were not as calm as in the dream.
The storm had become even stronger and the thunder was falling with more force. Never in the history of Bansy Harbort had there been such a strong storm.
In Adryan's room, he was still asleep despite all the noise which one could say was nonsense, but he was ignorant of the outside world.
Suddenly the storm became even angrier and the thunder began to fall with more force in the middle of the street.
But again Adryan was ignorant to everything when the storm reached a peak never seen before in the history of the island a yellow smoke began to seep through the walls, floor, and ceiling of Adryan's room and began to envelop him.
When it seemed to form a cocoon around him this smoke began to enter Adryan's body.
This caused him to move a bit but he still didn't wake up...
After a while, all the smoke entered inside him leaving no trace that it was ever there.
And Adryan was still asleep, oblivious to what had just happened to him.
After that, the storm began to calm down slowly but did not stop until six hours later.
When the storm finally stopped there was a knock on Adryan's bedroom door which woke him from his sleep.
Rubbing his eyes to get rid of the dream and also to wipe away the tears that began to fall as soon as he woke up.
He missed his brother...
"Coming"
Responding to the person behind the door, Adryan put his clothes and shoes back on and opened the door.
It was the waiter and he looked miserable, he didn't seem to have rested at all and when the waiter saw him he looked at him with a look full of surprise and shock.
Adryan looked quite full of energy it seemed that the storm had not affected him at all.
'What a lucky bastard' - was what the waiter thought and quickly opened his mouth to speak.
"Sir, the storm has already passed and you can retire safely if you like, you can have dinner here in the restaurant, the house pays"
Before Adryan could think of what to do, his stomach growled loudly causing his face and the waiter's face to flush slightly.
"I'll take the offer. Thank you very much, I'll be down in a moment"-was all he said before closing the door in the waiter's face....
While at the table eating the restaurant's specialty, Adryan couldn't help but applaud the elves for inventing such curious dishes with blood.
They were quite filling even if they didn't look like it, which he was grateful for after all, he hadn't eaten anything in three days.
After eating all the food, he thanked the waiter for his services and went to the port with the suitcase in hand to buy a ticket to leave Bansy as soon as possible.
Although before leaving he decided to leave a gift to the church of storms.
Holding the stone with the wrapped note he threw it and it went through the upper window of the church...
He quickly got out of there before they caught him....
The note had the location of James's body so he left the job of retrieving it to the professionals.
So he went to the port...
Arriving in front of the ticket seller before Adryan could ask the price of the boat rooms the seller rudely pointed to the wall next to him.
Looking there was a sign with all the prices and rules of the boat.
'Of course, there it is'- Adryan thought as the corners of his mouth twitched.
Requesting a ticket for a second-class room, the next boat would leave in an hour, so Adryan simply sat on a bench to wait.
After the promised time, the boat arrived and Adryan rose to line up to the board.
Adryan never noticed that there was a man sitting next to him on the bench who stared at him the entire time he waited until he boarded.
He was a man with a simple white cloak, golden hair and beard, and a silver cross on his neck, he looked like a common priest and he had eyes pure and innocent like a child.
"Interesting" - was the only thing the man said when 'He' saw Adryan enter the boat.....
If Adryan had seen 'Him', his heart would have jumped out of his chest.
But the bench was already empty...
