《More Than You Realize》Chapter 39: Why We Left
Advertisement
Who doesn't love the smell of fresh air? It's just... lively. It makes all of my worries go away, for the most part.
"Sabre? How much longer are you going to daze off?" Jake asked while putting his hand on my shoulder. I flinched a little bit. I wasn't expecting him to come up on me like that.
"Oh... sorry, Jake. Hopefully not any longer!" I said happily. Jake laughed a little bit.
"Come on! You're missing out, dude," he said pointing back to the others as we walked back home. Well... where our home was...
Currently, Void Steve and Galaxy Steve were having one of their little quarrels. I sighed a little bit.
"How are two the same person, but you always fight with one another?" I asked with a smirk. They both looked at me.
"Bcue e'e oneprs" they said in unison. Well, they weren't wrong!
"Touché, but what are you two even fighting about now?" I asked.
"I'm arguing with him because he won't agree with me that you two left the other day alone to spend quality time with each other," Galaxy Steve smirked. He knew he was wrong. He was just trying to embarrass his other half. I couldn't help but blush a little bit.
Void Steve said with a blood red face.
"Galaxy Steve, give it a rest already!" Alex complained. I think he was sick of listening to those two fight.
"Please, Galaxy Steve. That really isn't why we left. I planned on going alone, but Void Steve caught me before I left. I couldn't lie since he already caught me, so he came with me to the nearby village," I explained. Galaxy Steve's smirk only grew.
"SO YOU DID SPEND QUALITY TIME TOGETHER!" he exclaimed happily. I flinched a little bit.
"If you call finding a creepy old man that helped us learn about something to help us defeat, now only, Krill, then yes. We totally spent time together in the way you're thinking of," I said angrily. Galaxy Steve laughed, but he quickly stopped when he looked ahead. I looked to where he was looking at, and my heart fell to my feet.
"I-it looks even worse than when we left..." Kylie said sadly. I walked over to rubble of our house. Some of the wood was still burning, but the majority of the building was gone.
I picked up a piece of burning wood. The fire didn't hurt that much. Honestly, it felt pretty nice against my skin. I dropped it to the ground and took a few steps back. I glanced back to the others.
"Stand back. I'm not sure what could happen," I admitted while putting my hands up to the building. They all took my advice and took huge steps back.
I concentrated on the fire coming to me, and I could feel some embers brush against my palms. I flinched a tiny bit.
After a minuet or so, I opened my eyes. All of the fire was gone by now. All that was left was the rubble.

"I-I might have an idea," I said walking closer to the burnt wood. No one spoke. I guess they were waiting for me to explain my idea. "I can probably restore the house. My powers aren't powerful enough to restore Rainbow Steve, sadly."
"Well... let's try it!" Galaxy Steve exclaimed happily. I nodded my head.
I closed my eyes once again. This bit required more concentration than anything I've ever done before; even telepathy! I held my hands out to my sides; feeling all the energy in the world coming to me. After a minute of gathering the energy, I moved my hands in front of me. I released the energy towards the rubble of our home. I began to love my hands around. I'm pretty sure the others thought I was going crazy.
I said. 😂
I could hear something happening, but I knew that if I opened my eyes, my spell would stop. So, I waited there, feeling my own energy being drained out of me.
Finally, I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't lose a lot of energy in case something happen in which I needed them. I stumbled a little bit as my hands dropped to my side. I felt hands grab my shoulder and arms in support.
I looked to the house with a small smile. I could see the house completely rebuilt. The wood was repairs, and each block was back in place neatly.
"Wow... that must've taken up a lot of energy!" Jake said shockingly. I nodded my head. I looked over to him since he was one of the two holding me up.
"That's why I'm basically collapsed in your guys' arms," I laughed. I heard Void Steve chuckle from my other side.
he said before draping my arm over his shoulders and neck.
Slowly, we all made our way inside our "new" house. Void Steve made sure I made it safely to the couch. I couldn't help but lay back in relief. Sitting down and relaxing was very... well relaxing!
"Good job, Sabre," I heard Rainbow Steve say. I snapped my head in the direction I heard his voice from. Luckily, I didn't attract any attention. I smiled at the fainted spirit of my rainbow colored friend. I nodded my head as he disappeared into thin air.
"Okay, for real, though. Where did you two go before Spencer attacked?" Kylie asked as she walked up next to where Void Steve and I sat. Everyone else crowded around us.
"It's not like we could hide it. It affects where we go from here," I explained before pulling out the folded map from my inventory. Everyone got closer. I guess they thought the answer would come quicker if they got closer. Well... Ty didn't get closer. Honestly, I was thankful for that. I was a little uncomfortable with everyone surrounding me like this.
"Can you guys not see he's uncomfortable?" Tyler said. Mind reader much? Everyone looked to him for a minute, not believing him.

"He's not wrong. I feel cramped like this," I admitted shrinking down a little bit. Everyone nodded and back away some. I smiled at Ty. "Thank you, Ty."
"Uh... no problem... I guess?" he said questionably. I laughed a little bit while unfolding the map.
"Void Steve and I went to the nearby village. On our way back from my little... de-aged problem, someone was speaking to me telepathically. They said to come to the village to find a special book that would give me information about some object to help us defeat... well it was Ty and Spencer. I guess now it's Krill," I explained showing everyone the unfolded map.
Void Steve finished.
"The Relical Orb? I think I've heard of that somewhere before. Oh! Ty! You told me about it!" Jake exclaimed pointing to Ty happily. Ty flinched a little and pointed to himself in shock.
"Me?! I don't remember anything about-OH! That's right! I remember back when I was in school, I took an ancient history class. The class told us about a multitude of things; ancient legends, myths, magic, relics. I remember my Professor talking about this Relical Orb. Hold on," Ty said before he disappeared. We all glanced at one another, a little confused.
Suddenly, he reappeared. He had a book in his hands. He held it out for us to inspect.
"Is this your history book from this class you were talking about?" Galaxy Steve asked as he looked at the book. "Strange. Where I'm from, everyone is already given all of the knowledge they need. You guys learn... extra?"
"Yes, Galaxy Steve. We learn stuff that is completely pointless in life here," I said dumbfounded.
"You're not from here?" Mary, Alex, and Kylie mumbled in unison.
Void Steve questioned angrily.
"I agree. We need this orb. Krill probably already knows about it. We can't let him have it," I said. Everyone stopped talking about how Galaxy Steve wasn't from here. "Ty, continue please." He nodded his head.
"Actually, your conversation gave me time to find what I need. Listen to this. "The Relical Orb was man-made by people who craved power. It was a plain orb at first, but it was quickly filled with magic from animals, Steves, and other humans. Soon, the power became too powerful, and corrupted. The wielders fell to the darkness the orb offered them. It didn't take long for lands to be destroyed, waters to rise, and even the time of day was all mixed up. Then, about a year into this conquest, a daring hero confronted the corrupted people. He was the only one who was able to keep his abilities away from these evil people. This hero was Hitar Frave?" Ty said questionably. I felt my heart stop.
Jake looked over to me, shock written in his face. Ty got ready to continue when no one corrected him on the name. However, I had stopped him to ask a question.
"H-how long ago was this?" I asked. He gave me a weird look, but began to look for the answer to my question.
"Um... about 200 years ago," he answered.
"H-HOW!" I yelled. Jake almost fainted. Everyone looked at us weirdly.
"Well... I guess now we know where our powers came from... and why mine's corrupted..." Jake said quietly.
"What are you all talking about?" Alex asked a little angrily. We weren't exactly being clear about what we were talking about.
"Guys... Hitar Frave was our father," I explained gesturing to Jake and myself. Everyone stared before bursting into laughter. Jake and I exchanged confused glances.
"Impossible. Like Ty said, this was 200 YEARS AGO!" Mary exclaimed with a laugh. "Besides, last names don't even match."
"Our mother's name was Litdo ErAnde (air ândé). When they got married, mom wanted the name to change a little bit. She didn't want anyone making connections to Hitar to us," Jake said. "People are pretty dumb, so they just moved some letters around and gave it a "weird" sound."
Void Steve mumbled.
"Hitar was a well beloved hero, to the people he saved. He was mortal enemy number one to the villains he stopped daily. If they found out he had two sons he held dearly to him, what do you think they would do to kids?" I asked Void Steve.
Void Steve exclaimed.
"How do you know all of this?" Galaxy Steve asked.
"Our mom told us when we were younger. Remember, I've regained all of my memories from the past. There's a lot I haven't told you guys about," I laughed. Jake laughed with me.
"Ty? Can you finish your little story real quick?" Jake said while still laughing. Ty nodded his head.
"Hitar Frave hid the Relical Orb where the hands of evil couldn't reach it. No one has been notified of its whereabouts since Hitar hid the relic." Until now," Ty finished while closing his old history book. "Now, we have the map to find the object. However, something tells me Krill may know if its whereabouts. Something evil is emitting from the map."
Void Steve suggested. We all fell silent. I stood up, taking the map with me.
"Then we head out now. Krill won't expect us to know that he seeks the same object. We need a head start," I stated. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"I agree with Sabre. Let's pack some things in a bag that we may need, and then we can head out," Kylie said grabbing her own backpack from somewhere in the room. I have no clue where she pulled that thing from, but it was magical.
"Alright, guys. Let's do this!"

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.
