Season 1-Farmland.
Previous Chapter:
Lucien: Hey, Tiber. Do you agree with that name?
Tiber: (pauses for a moment)
I think… I do.
Tiber: Thank you, Daniel. I appreciate your name suggestion!
Daniel: (smiles)
You're welcome, buddy!
Tomas: Let's get moving!
Tomas: (gets back on his horse)
Tiber: New name, new journey!
Whip crack!
The loud sound of horses galloping echoes as one by one, they begin to ride off quickly.
_____________________________
Sound of galloping horses
Tomas: (focused ahead)
I think it's time we return to the village.
Tomas: We've been riding around long enough.
Remi: (glances at Tomas)
Yeah, I agree. I'm starting to feel tired too.
Emrik: (leaning forward on his horse)
Right, who knows—maybe Mr. Franz is already looking for us.
Galloping sounds
Cashew: (slightly losing control)
Can we go faster? My stomach hurts.
Tomas: (glances at Cashew)
A-alright…
Tomas: Let's pick up the pace!
Lucien: This is what I've been waiting for!
A little while later, after covering quite a distance
Lucien: (riding his horse)
Finally, we're almost there.
Tomas: (tired face)
I'm so exhausted…
Tiber: I have to tell Mr. Franz about this.
Tiber: I got a new name from you all.
Sounds of horses breaking through dirt and gravel
Siro: (guiding his horse)
We're here…
Tomas: Finally, we've made it back into the village.
Remi: (squinting)
Look over there. There's a big crowd gathering.
Remi: I think we should check it out.
Lucien: (guiding his horse)
Let's go.
Tomas: Alright, but only for a bit.
Tomas: I want to rest soon.
They all decide to approach the crowd.
S: (slowing down his horse)
We're here.
Lucien: (slows his horse)
Hey, look! That's Mr. Franz!
Tiber: (squinting)
You're right. But… why does everyone look so panicked?
Remi: (dismounts)
Why are you all just asking questions? Get off your horses!
Remi: (walks up to Mr. Franz)
Mr. Franz, what's going on?
Franz: (surprised)
Oh, Remi, all of you are here.
Franz: There's a woman and a child trapped in the basement.
Franz: The problem is, the exit is blocked by a heavy metal door.
Daniel: Then why are you just standing here doing nothing?
Villager: We don't have the tools to cut through the metal.
Villager: And we don't have anyone skilled at metalworking.
Franz: I was thinking of heading to town to find a blacksmith…
S: (thinks for a second)
I have an idea.
S: (whispers to Cashew)
Cashew, come with me to a quieter spot.
S: I've got an idea to fix this.
Cashew: A-alright…
In a place away from the crowd.
Cashew: What's your idea?
S: (slight smile)
Use your Summon Object ability!
S: I need a metal carver and a very strong binding rope.
Cashew: (shocked)
W-what are you saying…
S: Don't you want to rest soon?
S: Just follow this crazy idea of mine.
Cashew: (hesitant tone)
Alright, I'll try.
Cashew: (Summon Object)
Szzrrinngggssszz!
Cashew: (falls down)
Arghh. That's so draining…
Cashew: Here… the metal carver and the binding rope.
S: Perfect!
S: But… are you okay?
Cashew: I'm fine. Just hurry and get this done.
Cashew: I really want to rest back home.
Meanwhile, Remi and the others still at the crowded village square.
Lucien: S. and Cashew are taking forever…
Lucien: They said they'd only chat for a bit.
Tiber: Mr. Franz…
Franz: Oh, Tiber. What is it?
Tiber: My friends gave me a name… Tiber Silvano.
Daniel: (nervously)
I-I came up with the name…
Franz: Silvano. That fits you perfectly.
Franz: Considering how much you love the forest and trees.
Franz: Just a few days ago, we had to search the woods for you.
Tiber: (embarrassed)
Yeah… I remember that.
Villager: Welcome to Farmland, Silvano.
Siro: (points forward)
There they are!
Cashew: We're back.
Emrik: Why does Cashew look so worn out…
S: I brought something that'll help in this situation.
S: Binding rope and a metal carver.
S: We worked hard to find these!
Remi: I think… I know where S. got that from.
Tiber: Obvious.
Franz: You two are amazing!
Franz: If this works, I won't have to go to town to find a blacksmith.
S: Leave it to me.
Lucien: Are you sure this'll work?
Cashew: (tired face)
Just trust him. I used Summon Object.
Dario: I figured.
S: (carving the metal)
Let's begin…
Trangszz Trakks Trangsszz!
S: (carving)
It's tough… but nothing I can't handle.
Trakkks Tranggszz!
S: (thinking)
I just need to carve a little more so I can tie it with the rope.
Trakss Trakkkss Tranggszs!
Kracckkk…
S: (proud smile)
Finally, I've made the hole.
Franz: Did it work?
Villager: You're amazing, kid!
S: Give me the rope!
Cashew: (throws it to S.)
Catch!
S: (catches it)
Thanks.
S: (walks to the horse)
Time to end this exhaustion.
S: (ties rope to the horse)
Villager: What's he planning?
Franz: (serious look)
I think he has something in mind…
S: (secures the rope)
Alright, now let's move this horse!
Whip crack!
Loud galloping sounds
S: This will definitely work…
Sounds of the metal chunk moving
Villager: It's working!
Cashew: (relieved smile)
It wasn't for nothing…
Remi: (yells)
KEEP GOING, S.!
Kkkranggsss!
(The metal block gets lifted completely)
S: (yells)
WE DID IT!
Villager: Amazing, kid!
Franz: Quickly, get the woman and child out of there!
Villager: Right away!
S: (faint smile)
I think it's time we go home now.
Villager: (whispers to Franz)
Franz: (listens)
Oh, that's not a bad idea.
Franz: S., wait a second…
S: What is it?
Franz: The villagers want to give you a new name…
Villager: We truly thank you for saving one of our own.
Villager: We've decided to call you… S. Eisenhower.
Remi: Good job, S.
Lucien: Nice work, buddy!
Tomas: (proud smile)
You really are a genius!
S: (emotionally moved)
T-thank you, everyone…
S: I truly appreciate the name you've given me!
Villager: Go on home now, you all look exhausted.
Franz: We'll take care of things from here.
S: ALRIGHT, WE'RE HEADING HOME!
S: LET'S GO, EVERYONE!
Remi: (gets on his horse)
Come on, I can't wait to rest!
Cashew: (mounts his horse)
Same here!
S: Haha, wait for me guys!
Franz: (smiles proudly)
⸻
"Journey back home"
Emrik: (slows his horse)
We're back!
Tiber: (slows his horse)
I'm starving…
Dario: (gets off his horse)
I hope we still have a cup of milk left.
S: (dismounts)
A good day… but exhausting.
Remi: S.
S: (looks at Remi)
What is it?
Remi: You said yesterday… you were curious about the outside world that Cashew saw, right?
S: Y-yeah. But why?
Remi: (serious face)
I'm curious too. I want to see it for myself…
Remi: Normally when we want to know something, we see it with our own eyes, right?
Remi: So tomorrow morning, come with me.
S: (surprised)
W-what are you saying…
Remi: (serious face)
If you're not interested, I'll go alone.
S: B-but… we don't even know the road to the big city Cashew mentioned.
Remi: (shows a paper)
Everything we need is written here…
S: (shocked)
W-where did you get that—
Tomas: (shouts)
Hey, you two! Get inside, it's getting cold!
S: Just a sec, we're just chatting!
Remi: If you're interested, wake up early tomorrow.
S: (pauses, thinking)
S: I'll go!
S: We both need to see it for ourselves…
Remi: (serious look)
A new journey starts… tomorrow.
