I froze for a second.
"Are you from Earth?"
The question… ugh, it hit me weird.
I am from Earth, technically. But that was forever ago.
Years spent bleeding and fighting in Zethara.
Years people called me Apostle.
Years I lived like someone else's world depended on me, and it did.
And now some random Earthlings are asking if I still… belong there? What am I supposed to say?
My brain started spiraling. Do I say yes? No? Explain? Lie? Run? Probably run. Yeah, running sounds good.
"Ahmm… how can I answer that?" I muttered to myself, pacing like a psycho.
My fingers were twitching to just slash at the next slime, but no, I had to… think?
Yeah, okay, let's think.
Not that thinking stops my legs from moving.
Oh hell no.
"Oh well. Gotta go. My party's waiting."
And just like that, my feet took over.
Boom.
I was sprinting back toward Kael, Zeref, Keiji, and Luna. Heart hammering. Excited? Nervous? Both? Sure. But mostly… hyped.
