Chapter 20 - How Powerful Feelings Weave Together!?

O'garth took the lead, while Jaymir and Malerin followed close by, as they were led to the barracks. O'garth turned to them and stated, "I will be back, I have to grab something." Jaymir and Malerin stood by the outside of the barracks, as O'garth went in the barracks and grabbed a pole that was made of warped wood and had a worn blade attached to it. He turned back around and headed out meeting Jaymir and Malerin again as he announced, "Okay, I am ready to go."

Jaymir glanced at the weapon O'garth had and a concerned expression forced on his face; Jaymir was starting to realize how bad the town's state was. 

O'garth took the lead again and stated, "let's go, the more we stand here, the more we are wasting our day."

Jaymir and Malerin followed close behind. They walked down the road until they got to the gates of Bumbleweed, as they stepped out the gate Malerin handed Jaymir a basket gave a gentle smile to him and bolted in front of them turning around and leaning forward giving a smile and expressing her joy, she giggled and smiled and twirled around, without a care in the world.

Suddenly she reaches for Jaymir grabbing his arm and pulling him to a bunch of herbs and flowers. Malerin taught him everything about the herbs and flowers of this world, which herbs were harmful and poisonous while showing him herbs and flowers that were for cooking, potions, and decorations.

Jaymir listened and paid close attention to Malerin, maybe too close, as he saw how much her expression gleaned and how beautiful she was while teaching him about the herbs and flowers. The sun's rays reflected her beauty, and her eyes sparkled in the sun's light. Jaymir nodded at Malerin as she taught him everything about the flowers and herbs, but he also hinted shiness and his cheeks burned a rosy hue every time their eyes locked on to each other.

Everything the glances locked onto each other, Jaymir's heartbeat faster, his palms got sweaty, and a slight smirk formed on his face as he glanced away from her. However, Malerin's heart also raced in excitement, she kept her glance on him, yet she would smile while moving her hair around her ears and resting her chin on her palm, after a while she would loosen the glance and look away blushing in embarrassment.

While Malerin was teaching Jaymir about the herbs and flowers after a moment they noticed each other, O'garth was in more of a serious stance, he glanced around scanning the area and gripping the warped wooden pole of his weapon. His eyes were like daggers one little noise he would dart his sight over to the location. O'garth's stance was firm, he dug his heels into the ground ready for anything. Every second he tightened his grip on his weapon, he was a guard of Bumbleweed and you could tell by his tense form and steady demeanor, he took his job seriously, and you felt the protector aura from him.

Malerin and Jaymir felt calm, felt safe when O'garth was around, Jaymir respected O'garth for this, he was strong and determined. Jaymir didn't notice until now, how brave O'garth was. The sun's rays sent a heroic presence towards O'garth as it shined around him as if the light of the heavens above was putting a spotlight on him. O'garth's ginger beard and hair burned like fire, and his emerald hazel eyes stood out more showing the seriousness of his stance. Jaymir finally noticed that O'garth did have a guard attire on, but it was made of worn-out chainmail. O'garth had worn-out cloth pants around his waist a girdle made of chainmail and wore boots that had metal plating on them.
