Then Grey slowly opened the chest up while preparing for something to pop out but it didn't. And then he slowly opened up his eyes that were initially closed. Looking into the chest together with Randin, their eyes were widened in surprise at what they were seeing. "This… this…how is this possible?" Randin wondered out loud. "How do they have all these?" Grey wondered out loud also. As they stared at the contents of the chest together. The chest had sparkling objects in it. It was half filled with gold coins then at the top of it, it had crystals on it not any crystals, beasts crystals on it. "What did they even intend to do with these?" Grey asked. "Who knows. Maybe they had collected it when they raided the homes of the dwarves." Randin said. "So that means it should belong to you then." Grey said as he closed the chest and handed it over to Randin who quickly pushed it back to Grey. "No no no! Why should I collect it? You helped me reclaimed my planet, without your help, I wouldn't have been able to do this. Before you come up with a counter attack, remember that I have no use for them especially the gold coins. There's no way I can use it here since I have nothing to buy or get. So please have the chest, without refusing it. This is my thank you for helping me reclaim my planet and if you need any other thing, I will help you to do it. Just know that you have my help in whatever you want to do." Randin said. "Well, with all these points, how can I refuse to receive the chest? Thank you." Grey smiled as he tucked the chest in his clothes and then he walked away from the throne. Immediately they walked down, the whole cave began rumbling loudly while also shaking furiously to the extent, Randin and Grey lost their footing and they fell down. Immediately they plummeted down, Grey saw a piece of the rock ceiling heading towards them at a fast speed. "Watch out!" He shouted as he pushed his hands outwardly. "Wind magic! Aerius!" He shouted and a burst of wind hit the rock and threw it away from them. "I think this cave is about to crumble down. We need to get out of here now." Grey shouted as he and Randin quickly stood up and bolted towards the door of the main cave. They kept running with top speed especially Grey who was naturally fast due to his affinity to wind magic. They kept running until they were close to the entrance and then performing some hand signs while walking, Grey thrust his hands and shouted. "Disperso!" Immediately, a white light enveloped the cave's rock door and then it slid open slowly. By the time they got to the entrance, Randin was able to slip through escaping out of the cave while Grey was still a little behind. "C'mon Grey, hurry up!" Randin shouted as the cave was now starting to close up after registering that someone had passed through. Finally, Grey was now close to the door and with a leap, he used his wind magic to propell himself forward and he managed to jump out of the cave just in time as the door finally closed. And then running, they finally jumped out of the normal cave entrance just in time as the cave was now seen crumbling down in pieces. "Phew! That was very close." Grey said as he was panting hard while sitting on the ground with Randin beside him. They were both breathing hard as they looked at the rubbles off in the distance. They waited for a few minutes to catch their breath before they got a move on and they left the area totally. They slowly walked back the way they came from towards the dwarves place. "Because of you, I finally have enough time and space to explore more of the planet." Randin said as they were now deep in the forest. "It's not a big deal actually." Grey said as he rubbed his hair smiling. 'This kid isn't bad at all, I think I had misjudged him when I saw how similar his powers were to those otherworlders. I really like him now and for what he did for me, I will try my best to help him in whatever way he needs. Even if it requires me to lay down my life, I'm going to do it. As he had helped me reclaim my home planet. All that remains is for me to go look for any dwarf survivors.' Randin thought with a smile. They kept walking and sometimes camping in tiredness as they weren't ready to fight any beasts because of how tired they were. Where they arrived when the night sky met them, is where they camped out. They slept like never before with both of them shuffling and taking turns watching over where they rested. The next morning, they continued their journey with more energy and vigour while trying to strike small talks with each other and then sometimes, they always kept quiet and go through the thoughts on their minds that were troubling them. Contrary to their thoughts of not encountering any trouble, they still encountered trouble in the form of some beasts. And with their team work, they managed to defeat the beasts. And finally, after three days, they were now back where they always stayed and rested all day. By the time they got there, it was already late so they went into Randin's house to rest and before they slept, Grey had something to say. "I will return back to my world in two days."

I have been here for close to two weeks and you say so fast?" Grey asked. "Well, I have gotten used to you being here and I missed human communication that's why." Randin said. Grey felt sad listening to Randin. He couldn't imagine how he felt currently with being the only one in this huge planet. "But don't worry, I will continue my task of looking for the others." Randin said with a cheerful smile. "Well, you shouldn't worry, I will always try my best to come here every week." Grey smiled. "I will always be expecting you then." Randin returned the smile and then they decided to go to sleep.
