Departure

Arthur was full of smiles and warmth when he received the things prepared by his mother. He immediately put on the spatial ring on his right pointer finger, he scanned the his old holowatch using the warrior holowatch for transer of data and personal information. The scanning took only a minute to be done and a notice of permission popped up in his new holowatch to allow it to have access on his personal data. Arthur inserted both of his thumb prints on the new holowatch and after that it scanned his eyes then the permission was done and now he can use his new holowatch.

"Arthur, you should rest early today. You will need all the strength in your journey and remember that only by becoming strong can you hold on to the things you wanted." His dad reminded him while sipping on his tea like a scholar.

"Yes Dad. Mom, Dad, I will go to my room now to rest, do not worry about me because I will uphold to your teachings and become a strong warrior you can be proud of. I will contact you once in a while when I have the time and if my superiors allow me to. Thank you and I love you." He smiled to both of his parents and hugged them. He went upstairs to sleep early and didn't go to practice his meditation technique as he has just undergone breakthrough and needed to consolidate his level.

The night was so quiet and cold, waiting for the light to bloom and show itself.

It was morning when the rays of the sun hit the face of Arthur waking him up. It is 8 in the morning and his flight to the Red Forest was 10, 2 hours from now. He doesn't need to prepare for his belongings as it was already done a few days ago. He only needed to wash himself and wear clothes for suitable for his adventure and he is ready to go.

After washing himself, he went downstairs to eat his breakfast. His parents was already gone for work and only left food for Arthur and a letter at the table. He opened the letter and read it carefully with warmth in his chest while reading it.

[ Arthur, it is now your first step of your life without our support and be independent. We hope that you will be someone great someday that we can be proud of. Meet different kinds of people everyday and learn everything you think is right for you. Remember not to lose your dignity as a person and as a member of the Light family, you are greater than you think you are. The road ahead is not as smooth as others tell you, but it was full of blocks that you should cross to get to the top. Be careful everywhere you go, do not trust what you just see or hear but have a depth understanding on all things. We love you our son, take care.

Love,

Mom and Dad]

Tears fell down from the eyes of Arthur and a warm comfortable feeling was felt in his chest. He wiped the tears in his eyes and looked forward and smiled.

Arthur was sitting on the waiting area, waiting for his flight to be announce in a couple of minutes. In his hand was his ticket number written 113 and it will be also the cabin designated for him. The journey from planet H456 his home planet to planet Red where the Red Forest was located will be a four day trip. The spaceship that Arthur boarded was an Economy class ship only used for cargo and public transportation from one planet to another within the territories of the Human Federation as it has no powerful offensive system like those used by the warriors on their trip. The ship can hold 1000 passengers on every trip and 1000 tons of cargo on it.

[All passengers of Wander 234 going to Planet Red, please fall in line according to your number at platform 10 to board the ship. I repeat, All passengers of Wander 234 going to Planet Red, please fall in line according to your number at platform 10 to board the ship. Thank you] It was the announcement that the ship Wander 234 was going to take its flight after all the passengers entered the ship. Wander 234 was the ship that Arthur was going to ride, so he stood up from his seat to find his place to fall in line.

When Arthur was on his line waiting for his turn to enter the ship after the facilitators confirm him ticket, he heard a voice from his back. The voice was very loud and jolly "hey brother! hey hey!! What is your ticket number?" Arthur looked back and saw a girl the that looked the same age as him. Her hair was short and green in color, her eyes were big full of excitement and her lips were pink and full of smiles. Arthur looked around him wondering and then looked back at the girl while pointing his finger on himself. "Are you talking to me?" he asked. "Yes, yes you. What is your ticket number" She answered and asked loudly. "It's 113" Arthur answered while showing his ticket in front of the girl.

"Oh so I'm on the right place. Sigh, I thought I was on the wrong line again. I always got the wrong directions every time I went somewhere. AH! By the way Laura, Laura Green from the Green family." The noisy Laura kept on talking loudly never minding the people looking at her. She introduce herself to Arthur and reached out a hand to shake with him as if they have some agreement to meet.
