Under a nightly and thick golden clouds.
The light rays of an orange colored earthly star leading the way.
Between super tall trees- an average height of half a kilometer, with yellow leaves and orange streaks, also bearing blue crystal fruits.
On a path of white sand like snow, littered with dry yellow leaves.
And amidst gentle breeze reminding one of the sea side.
Skylar after he returned and with the others set for the place where they say their base is located.
Skylar and Lingyue at the back, Star boy in front of them and the other six at the forefront- all having a happy conversation as indicated by the giggles and laughter coming from them, and also two of them pushing a cart each, loaded with sealing boxes, journey on this fantastical land of white sand.
"If only yansh nation will do her job well..." At this point on their journey, Star Boy who is closer to those at the forefront muttered, and before he knows it, he saw something like a pebble came flying at him, but swiftly, he dodged it. But the projectile continued on its path until it hits Skylar who walks forward on its path on his bronze colored chest, and like a lump of sand entering a grinding machine it turned into dust particles instantly.
"Fuck!" At this unexpected event, Star Boy cursed out loud, the others at the forefront turned and froze alongside the perpetrator- the subject of Star Boy melancholy. And their leader- Lingyue carrying her long sheathed sword and also who was walking beside Skylar the victim, paused her steps, frowned then hanged her head in shame.
Skylar the victim, like nothing happened, ignored their reaction and continue his leisurely stroll on the ground of white sand. And soon he reached Star Boy whose facial expression has changed three times while he watched him approached, going from shock to a mix of fear and nervousness, and finally to an obvious feigned composure.
"What's your real name?" Skylar whose expression and focus has never changed asked after he put his hand on Star Boy shoulder. And like this Star Boy resumed his journey together with Skylar who has a hand on his shoulder like they are pals.
"Idris Abbas. Big bro." The chocolate skin boy- Star Boy garbed in a newsie costume that reeks of the early nineteenth century style and fabric replied confidently and excitedly like his previous worries expressed by his previous facial expression were a mirage.
At this time, those in front after some of them sighing in relief because of the act that just happened behind them resumed their journey with the duo almost behind them. And Lingyue at the back who holds an unreadable facial expression because of the act that just happened in front of her did the same, but with a faster pace in other to bridge the gap between her and the others.
"Yansh nation, its kinda familiar, you know." Skylar chuckled. "Are you from that place by any means."
Star Boy who is to answer the question mirrored a chuckle. "Big bro, not entirely. I was born and raised in england, but i do go there sometimes to visit my grandparents who are from there and still lives there."
I see, maybe its there he learnt the act of street running. Skylar thought and pull Star Boy closer to him while they both still maintain a similar pace on the ground of white sand. "For how long have you been part of the group?"
"Big bro, i joined fifteen days ago real time." Star Boy replied. "It should be about sixty days game time."
I thought as much. Time is about four times slower here than the real world.
"Do you know how long ago the game was launched.?"
"Big bro, the game was launched exactly nine months ago real time."
"Oh..." Its really been long, and nine months... That's kinda connotative. At this point Skylar set his eyes on a young lady in front- the one who launched the pebble, who is wearing a thigh-high black nylon stocking that accentuate her very powerful-looking calf and that holds at the top tightly to her very super large meaty brown thighs, a plaited black and red checkered mini skirt that almost couldn't totally cover her super gigantic rear which is her most outstanding feature and a red tube around her slightly chubby back and chest. From the black boot she wore to the cornroll on her head that is banded at the end by white transparent bead, Skylar checked her out thoroughly. Then he looked to the side at Star Boy who also simultaneously look back at him, and both understanding the common meaning in their locked eyes laughed out loud simultaneously without care for the several pairs of eyes that holds different looks as they glance at them.
"What's her name?" After both recovered from there frenzy, Skylar asked 'Star Boy' while he glanced at the young lady with rumps as big as the mountains who is also glancing back at him with an obvious shy look on her bright face.
"Gabisile."
"Gabisile indeed!.. What a fitting name." Skylar with meaning and a lot of emphasis reiterated what Star Boy said the exotic and stunning beautiful girl name is.
...
"Please... let's do as boss ordered..."
"Shut up bitch. That woman has been arse all this while, and what else can this hopeless faction achieve at this point. Seven times, seven times, that is the number of times i have starfallen in the past thirty real time days..."
"Idiot bastard, if you think our leader failing in her responsibility is an excuse for you to also fail in yours, then you are not just an idiot bastard but a hypocrite idiot bastard, idiot."
"Fuck you, you what do you know..."
"Everyone please calm down... We are already falling apart like our enemies wanted..."
"Shut up, stupid bitch. Its obvious this faction at this point should disband..."
"Old soldier for president who is with me..."
"Ah! God.... what's the deal with this idiots you surround me with."
Shouting, yelling and curses like bullets fired from behind covers could reach the group of Skylar and company who at this point are journeying on an apricot colored muddy and sticky ground and among large wild and alien plants with one kind of them in particular- a white kind with silver colored fruits, occasionally shoot out lasers that can penetrate an average adult male bone easily from its silver thorns in the direction it points like a kid playing with a water gun.
How strong is this person exactly, to be able to put this wildlings in place with just his presence alone. If he were not here i wouldn't have taken this route that would have definitely reduced our number by half. Lingyue who seems not to care at all about the conversation happening miles away that is sneakily reaching them looked away from a strange living plant, tall and red, with thick perforated stems and branches- that look like a long worm with a spiky teeth rimming the inside of its round mouth, and also having an elongated blade-like leafs; glanced behind her at Skylar who is guarding their rear alone in this semi-jungle of bloodthirsty alien wildlings and on their way to their base where the intruding conversation is probably coming from.
(Boom... Screeching...) Not long after Lingyue sneaky glanced behind at Skylar, a fiery explosion at her front and beside the others at the front drowned a large brown plant that looks like a praying mantis.
"What is it this time!" (Piercing Screech)
Everyone got stunned, paused and watched as the poor predatory plant screeched piercingly as some part of it keeps burning after it barely survived the damage of the explosion.
"That's what you get for cutting off my girlfriend's arm that time." A young teenager- Star Boy age mate, who has a flashy make up on his androgynous face, garbed in a long white oversized gown like a typical ghost and whose long black hair almost reached the back of his knee; with spite and hatred in his aqua eyes, glared at the suffering creature he just bombed with the help of a flame grenade he just bought from Star Boy- the instigator, for 10 gold.
"Those boys are a menace to society."
"Well, for us it is a good thing. right?"
"Who knows, the crazy one might blow up the entire simulation one day."
"You are right, and that sicko might open the gate of hell and release all the immortal prisoners inside it.."
"Ah ah ah, they are the future of our faction for a reason."
"Let's be on our way, we must reach the base before they come and find us."
"You are right, One leaf."
At this strange action of this strange young teenager in a strange costume, the others at the front after watching the dying creature a bit except for Star Boy who is standing beside the strange young man and who keeps watching the dying creature along with him with twinkling eyes and a wide grin, resumed their leisurely walk towards their destination with two of them dragging a cart each behind them on the muddy and sticky ground like they are used to the routine.
These brats. Lingyue their leader, behind them and few steps in front of Skylar quickened her pace, and when she reached them and after they sensed her presence and turned in her direction, folded her arms covered with the long sleeves of her long white tunic over her suspiciously very large breast as she stood in front of them, and she looked at them with an unusual calm look on her face, but with obvious messages written under it.
"Sorry boss." "Sorry boss." Like scared chicken after they got her message, both on the muddy and sticky ground ran towards the other at the front, their figure as they did quiet heartwarming.
She is not bad though... Skylar who is almost right behind Lingyue smiled"We boys can be sometimes a handful." As he reached behind her, he put a hand on her shoulder to help calm her turbulent mind. At the same time the dying flower beside them got inundated by a green spiritual glow coming from Skylar wich instantly healed it and returned its vigor. But Lingyue didn't notice this.
"My lord are you also a boy?" Lingyue turned to look beside her at the physically and spiritually stalwart figure beside her. And she smiled brightly like a waxing moon at the figure after her questions of many meanings.
What does she mean. And is it really okay for her face to glow like this when she smiles. Isn't this illegal at this point according to SB standards. Skylar who was first stunned by her question, and then her divine smile, had the left edge of his mouth to the border of his cheek twitched severally and uncontrollably like in a sneer as he finds himself in those icy blue eyes staring piercingly at his. This simulation is getting out of hand with their lack of limit. She is clearly a world class beauty according to SB standards, how can she suddenly go several levels higher when you stare at her face. So wierd. Retreating like a defeated dog while Lingyue still has her limpid black eyes on him, Skylar drew the hood of his cloak over his head after he tucked in his long wooly and silvery hair into it and took few quick steps ahead of her.
"Let's be on our way, your attention might be needed at your base." Skylar reminded her after his hooded figure in front paused a bit.
I see... A look of realization appeared on Lingyue's moon cold face as she watched Skylar's hooded figure that is once again walking ahead of her slowly. They are definitely a boy at heart.
***
"'Misfire', because you are a little bit stronger than all of us, you can't be dictating..."
"You just shut up already. I even think you are the traitor among us, because you have been the one stopping us from taking any action since."
"I think so too, this idiot here has issue with every thing anyone says and plan to do."
"All of you shut your mouth, our leader is coming with a guest and they are almost here."
Not long after this words, a couple hundred meters away in front of several figures that have quieten down, two figures, Skylar and Lingyue exit the dazzling mini-jungle and step into a vast open field that contains these several figures that are now holding different colorful expressions as they watch them approach like a couple on a stroll.
