Our Action Brothers
Last gate

After the situation calmed down again, Maroon came out of his house wearing his robe, and carrying his old bag which had contained various belongings. Arnius and Genta were in the pockets of the bald troll.

Arnius deliberately put all his comrades into the black jade for safety and to make things easier. There is Genta who is now standing in a pocket of Maroon clothes and Kin Raiden who is a small bird and perched on the left shoulder of Maroon.

Maroon began to walk quickly towards the hill he had come to last night. The small river that flows up the hill looks so clear. Arnius, Genta and Kin Raiden did not stop staring at the strange river flow.

"How can the river flow up the hill."

Arnius muttered softly.

"Only the waters of the river flow all this green land, and this hilltop is the center of the whirlpool. Under this old tree."

Maroon stopped his steps while in front of a green tree that was so large, tall and densely leafy.

Arnius and Genta jumped down from within Maroon's pocket, as did Kin Raiden who had returned to his former form. After making sure it was safe, Arnius rushed back out his entire comrade from within the black jade.

"Now tell me where the next gate is?"

Arnius floated up and stared intently at the bald troll standing beside him.

"Do you see the shadow of your body in the river?"

Maroon pointed to the shadow of his body that was within the river water.

"Make sure your bodies and shadows are in the shadow of this green tree, just like my current body."

Maroon again pointed at his shadow body.

"Then drop your body right on the shadow of the body in the river water."

Maroon said back.

"Where do you know all that?"

Arnius looked back at Maroon.

"Look carefully at the reflection of the shadow of this green tree in the river water."

Arnius and the others began to notice the reflection of the shade of the green tree. Arnius floated a little higher, precisely above Maroon's head. From where he stood, he could clearly see the shadow of the green tree forming a large gate.

"Are you able to read the inscription above the gate?"

Maroon said again.

"Come in and you'll find a world without limits."

Arnius muttered to read the writing at the end of the shadow of the gate.

Another case with Keiko, the little girl prefers to squat on the river bank and then put her hands into the water. He closed his eyes to look for something that might help them.

"Come in and you'll find a world without limits."

There was a sweet sound in Keiko's mind. The little girl put her hand even deeper to find out more.

Minori noticed the movements of her young miss and immediately held onto Keiko's body tightly before the tiny body fell into the water.

"Master Maroon looks like you'll have a hard time going to the next gate."

Keiko hurriedly floated closer to the face of the troll that was standing not far from her.

"Why little lady?"

Maroon looked at Keiko's astonishment.

"I saw a sea of ice that was so cold, yet I could no longer afford to look any further."

Keiko said slowly.

"The world is limitless according to my thinking, we can live in that world as long as we can find the right place to live and live there. Isn't the world without borders vast?"

Maroon expressed his opinion.

"As far as you go, it's all your decision. Anyway, if you want to go back to this place, you just have to find a way into this gate if there is one."

Arnius lowered his body to stand by the river.

"Who will go first?"

Arnius looked at all his comrades.

"I'll bring grandfather Yao."

Kin Raiden said as he prepared to carry the old grandfather's body.

Everyone nodded in understanding and began to take the right position.

The first clapper dropped his body into the reflection of himself in the water, followed by Kin Raiden, Eiji and others.

"Your turn is Maroon."

Arnius looked at Maroon's face which looked slightly tense.

"It's better that you go first, little master, I'll catch up with you later."

Arnius hurried to place himself after hearing the bald troll's reply, without waiting for long Arnius immediately threw himself out like his other colleagues.

Arnius again felt his feet tread on something so soft and cold.

"Snow."

"Sir is wearing this warm coat."

Keiko hurried to help her eldest brother put on warm clothes.

"What about the others, have they all been wearing warm clothes?"

Arnius noticed one by one all his colleagues.

"There are still a lot of warm clothes in the classic pearl cabin if needed, calm down brother."

Keiko patted Arnius' chest gently while correcting the unused warm clothes properly.

"Where is Megan bald, why hasn't she shown up yet?"

Genta checking around.

"Let's go, we better get a little bit away and wait for him for a bit."

Arnius said slowly.

Eiji hurried along with all his colleagues to leave the place.

"Key, please check if there's a slightly warmer place we can go to."

Naoki said slowly.

Keiko nodded slowly then made some movements to concentrate all her senses on the thick snow mound that covered the entire place.

"I only know if this place is still filled with mountains of snow, but there are some places that emit a strange light and feel a little warm."

Keiko reopened her eyes and said while pointing to some places.

Great shaking felt, to make some mountains of avalanche. Kin Raiden hurriedly grabbed onto the body of Old Grandpa Yao who had already bounced and floated. Arnius and Eiji helped the others to get away. Such a fast event is shocking and makes it difficult to completely avoid an avalanche.

Currently half of Zen's body was covered in a pile of snow, and only his two legs were seen moving over the mountain of white ice. Zora wasn't even visible in the slightest, Eiji tried to quickly dig out exactly where the young alchemist was thrown. While Sayuri and Haruka were a little lucky to be thrown over a small hill, it was only necessary to walk slowly down it before the snow mound on top of the hill joined the landslide.

After making sure all the members were gathered together and fine, Arnius approached the origin of the shock followed by Genta.

"You'd better move carefully Maroon, you almost made us all wretched."

Genta shouted loudly.

"I'm sorry I don't know if I fell like this."

Maroon shook off the tip of his clothes that were hit by the snow.

"You have thick clothes?"

Arnius floated close to Megan the old troll.

"Yes, I put it in my bag."

Maroon immediately put on his thick robe.

Arnius drifted higher to confirm their existence, he observed everything from above as well as making sure no poisonous clouds could restrict their movement.

"The world without borders, is truly vast."

Arnius muttered softly.
