&#x3C;p&#x3E;Chapter Thirty:&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;All That Remains&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;I opened the drawer he mentioned and found my clothes. It was a loose long-sleeved white shirt and just some black bottoms I had slipped on. I looked outside the window and noticed the dwarves moving about joyfully. I walked to the door and exited the room.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;The Overseer&#x2019;s place was quite large in comparison to the tiny room I had just left. I was greeted with a large living space with shiny black couches and a silver lining etched in them. A large table was located towards the front of the living area. A fireplace was tucked in the corner towards the kitchen. The ceiling was twenty feet high and had a unique crystal chandelier. The four windows brighten the entire home with a patinate glow.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;I had settled in the room until I heard an unbearable amount of grunting coming from outside. I walked towards the door with a large glass frame. A man had been practicing against some small dwarves in the grounds area to the side of the house. They were practicing with wooden swords as it was a four-on-one.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;The small dwarves all wore the same gear, which was sturdy and durable steel armor. The man maneuvering against the dwarfs wore a battle-styled kimono, with a red and orange highlighted dragon designed on the black attire. The robe covered his left arm as a large gauntlet engulfed the robe at the elbow. The right shoulder had a spaulder attached to it and he wore a small black and red brace on his hand. His pants were baggy for the tight fitted upper body. The pants tucked into black boots. The man had two sheathes placed on the same side of his back.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;His flame red hair in a small bun burned with the bright sky in a colorful glow. The dwarves all fell with a single slash as the man stood victorious. He threw down his weapons. He turned to me with a look of disbelief and gave a soft smirk.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;It&#x27;s about time you woke up, Jai,&#x201D; he said to me. I recognized the man as Lloyd who was now fitted with new gear.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;Lloyd! Your looking good,&#x201D; I exclaimed. I surprised to see him as we fist bumped one another.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;Lloyd looked more in shape than ever before, as I also noticed he wasn&#x2019;t drunk and seemed to not have been drinking recently. He grabbed the two swords that sat on his side. Both of which were the blades Ignard gave him.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;You certainly missed some fun, Jai, but glad to have you back. Let&#x27;s talk more inside,&#x201D; He suggested patting my shoulder. He turned back to the dwarf men. He glued his palms together and bowed to them. &#x201C;Thank you, for the training today, Sensei,&#x201D; he said as one dwarf came from behind the pile.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;I could have sworn my eyes were lying to me, but it felt as though Lloyd was a completely different person. He was always nonchalant about greeting coaches and teachers. This was the first time I saw him bow to someone. The dwarf bowed back and left through a gate with the three other dwarves.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;Why do you look like you have seen a ghost or something?&#x201D; Lloyd asked me cheerfully with his typical grin. I was utterly dumbfounded by this change. Clearly, it showed on my face.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;Thank you? You aren&#x2019;t drunk? I can tell, I was out for two months. No one develops like that overnight,&#x201D; I said, chuckling to myself in disbelief.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;Lloyd, change? Impossible...&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;We stepped inside Overseer&#x2019;s living room. Lloyd sat on the black couch. He held an enormous clay jug and began to drink out of it.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;Never mind, what kind of drink is that today?&#x201D; I assumed it was some type of alcohol or wine.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;He chuckled as he rested his left arm on the cushion of the couch. He lent the jug to me as I sat on the other couch. It didn&#x2019;t have a smell and as I tasted it, I noticed it was just water.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;While you were getting your beauty sleep, Overseer put me and Lucy through training to improve ourselves both physically and mentally. Mine was to learn more about swordsmanship and the pride of being one. Eventually, after some time, I began to forget about drinking. Doesn&#x2019;t mean I won&#x2019;t indulge in one every now and then, though,&#x201D; Lloyd said grinning at me.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;I passed the jug back to Lloyd as we continued to chat.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;So you went through rehab, I did not expect even that to fix you. You were at the point of no return,&#x201D; I said jokingly. &#x201C;Were you two just waiting for me to wake up as well?&#x201D; Lloyd answered by nodding his head. He took another long, slow drink before he sat the jug down.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;The old-young guy must have not said anything to you yet?&#x201D; Lloyd questioned me.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;I shook my head and told him how Overseer appeared to be in a rush and planned to do it later. He crossed his arms and sat up more with his eyes closed. For a moment, he seemed to be thinking of something as they opened back up with conviction.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;We have a plan, Jai,&#x201D; Lloyd said as he shook his head.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;The door slammed open. One of the hinges fell completely off and the door was cracked from the impact. The glass from the door that led to the grounds shattered. A dent in the wall appeared from the door handle.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;The hell&#x2026;?&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;I heard a loud worrisome tone as they noticed the impact from the door. The person dropped the ten bags they were holding and hurried to pick up the glass and fix the door.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;Lloyd did not turn around as he laughed to himself and said to the figure behind him &#x201C;Again, Lucy?&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;The person who broke the door did appear to be Lucy, as she popped her head up from fixing the door frame. Before she could approach Lloyd and yell at him, she noticed me. Her jaw opened wide in disbelief. She yelled happily and ran over to squeeze me tightly in a classic rack attack. Hardly able to breathe, I attempted to back her off. She would not budge.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;Like Lloyd, her outfit was different from the gear we first had in Eukaperok.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;She wore a white kimono, with blue lines highlighting as it covered her upper body. The robe was a little looser as it weighed down around her forearms. I could see emerald earrings flashing, since her blonde hair was all the way down her back. The robe had a small skirt attached to it as well as she wore blue leggings to her upper thighs. Her small black and white boots still had a piece of glass attached to them from the door.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;I am so glad you&#x27;re awake, It&#x2019;s relieving to know you&#x27;re okay,&#x201D; she said enthusiastically, winking at me.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;Lloyd chuckled to himself again and responded to her greeting me.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;Overseer won&#x2019;t be happy when he sees you broke his door again. You know you will have to pay him this time, right?&#x201D; Lloyd addressed Lucy as her expression became nervous.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x9;&#x201C;What no&#x2026; no. Stop it. You are just trying to pull my leg. Right Lloyd?&#x201D; Lucy began to start sweating and nervously laughed at Lloyd&#x2019;s comment. She ran towards the door and attempted to fix it. Lloyd and I laughed at her panicking until we decided to help.&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;h2&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/h2&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;A war that has caused a continuing rift between two worlds!&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Mysterious rifts open around the globe, transporting regular people to another world. On a normal day a teenage boy, Jai Marshall and friends are sucked in. The group is forced to serve as champions of the world. This sequence of events is not at random considering Jai&#x2019;s older brother Omar was formerly a champion of this world. Jai will do anything to ensure the safety of his friends inside a world where the unexpected is constantly broadened. Even though the group is equipped with ancient abilities from past champions, the task they have been given is a great mountain to climb. Can Jai and his friends survive this world?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
