Both Sunder and Charlotte continued to walk through the village. They didn't continue their line of questioning, and eventually when they had reached an open area where kids were playing, chasing wooden wheels and spinning tops on the floor, Sunder couldn't take it anymore.

"Wait, what's going on? Can you explain to me why you were asking all of the questions before?" Sunder asked.

"I told you, I thought it was strange that Harper would just go like that. Do you know I asked the others in the room, and not a single one of them saw him in the morning; just how early did these adoption people come and get him this morning?" Charlotte asked. "There was a man that told me, if things don't make sense then start asking questions."

"And if they still don't make sense then ask even more questions. If things start to get more confusing, then it means something is being hidden."

The words of a person that was quite close to her, it had stung her heart. She had followed him for a long time, and now it was time for her to take over.

"I asked the same question to all of those people out there, because I thought it was strange. People know orphanages exist, people know food houses exist in bigger areas. So such a place, or a thing like the Rylon religion is doing, shouldn't more people know about it?"

"Yet not a single person in this village, town, whatever it is, has heard about their goodness. Heck, you heard that beggar, they had even refused to bring him in. So let me ask you another question, were you approached by Carl himself?" Charlotte asked.

Sunder paused for a moment. He was almost afraid to answer the question even though he had no idea where it was coming from.

"No," Sunder answered. "But, I did get approached by another member of the Rylon religion."

"Then let me ask again, what about everyone else? Did they find out about this, or were they approached by members from the religion?"

Sunder's eyes widened, but he quickly shook his head and swung his arm out.

"Everything in there will allow you to survive on your own. The Rylon Religion wishes for everyone to be self-reliant, but if you do struggle and the month is over, there will always be a place back for you." Carl tapped Sunder on the shoulder, and then asked everyone to see him off.

Everyone gave him a hug, even Tiffany whose head was back to normal for a moment, and just before Sunder left the room, he gave a nod to Charlotte.

In the vast land of the Dark Faction, three individuals were riding in a carriage heading to a particular town. It had been a while since it was just them three traveling together.

"Hey, so Liam, you got to pick up your weight, you know Raze won't be here to save us if we're in trouble again," Simyon said.

"What do you mean, I was the one that read that thing, without me we would have known nothing. What's good having a lightning rock teleporting all over the place!" Liam said.

Eventually, as they traveled, Simyon had asked Safa a question, one that he was curious about for a while now.

"What was Raze like, the real Raze I mean, your brother," Simyon asked.

Safa smiled as she started to reminisce.

"He was kind-hearted but troublesome at the same time. He wanted what was best for everyone and tried to help in his own ways, but he was young. I remember one time, he got into an argument with our mum and dad."

"There wasn't enough food for us. In the end, he decided to run away from home for a while. When I think about it, I think he did that for us, because he knew that four mouths was too much to feed, and I could eat more. That's the type of person he was."

"Ran away from home, as a teenager?" Liam said. "I mean, he did a good thing and all, but how did he even manage to survive himself with no food?"

"That is the question... I don't know. Now that I think about it, it was after he came back, things were slightly strange."
