Clack. Clack. Clack. The rock tower was being built up, one rock at a time.

It did not take that long. Even Taylor had completed this part pretty easily. However, Cage, who had not come into the central area and had instead waited outside the eye of the storm, suffered quite a bit. This central area, like with all ancient powers, was somewhere that a person could only enter on their own.

�It�s easy.�

Cale picked up the last black rock and gently put it on top of the rock tower. It was at that moment.

Flash!

The black rocks slowly turned white. At the same time, Cale got up and looked around.

The wind was slowly dying down.

��Huh?�

Cale ignored the confused voice of the dragon and waited until all of the wind died down. He then crossed his arms and listened to the old man�s voice. He had no choice.

I tried to fight with them. However, I did not know that I was so weak against pain. They were not people who served the lord. I only realized that after we all went our separate ways and I ended up alone.

The words of the old man caught Cale�s attention. He then recalled the words of the owner of the Indestructible Shield.

�The people in the Forest of Darkness who called themselves servants of the lord only gave me terrible food.�

He had a bad feeling that he had learned something he shouldn�t have learned about.

He had an odd feeling that the things he just heard were things that he should not tell anybody else about in his entire life.

Cale started to frown even more as the old man continued to speak. That voice was something only Cale could hear, thus making the dragon hesitate while looking at the silently standing Cale.

I piled the rocks. I piled them up hoping that I could turn back time, hoping that I could be happy. But then I destroyed it.

I hated my selfish self for thinking about my own happiness after betraying my comrades and running away.

�Sigh.�

Cale let out a long sigh. This old man really was frustrating. Cale started to speak in frustration.

�It is human nature to be selfish.�

The old man�s voice disappeared for a moment.

�Is it over?�

Cale started to smile thinking that the old man was finally getting to the end. However, the sobbing voice continued once more.

Ahem. My older sister said the same thing. She was a really wonderful older sister. She was more reliable than anybody else. Ah, my older sister. Sob! JrNovels.com
