“Are you fine, now?” Andrew texted Ken.

  He then walked home as he didn’t receive a reply. While walking, he thought about the blue girl.

  “Why should I meet her? Is she connected to some of the mysteries?” he wondered.

  “Regardless, she was cute, and her voice was stunning,” he almost became a rom-com MC.

  At 6:00 pm, Ken replied.

  “I am fine, how does the college go?” he asked.

  “Thank god, he is fine,” a sigh of relief for Andrew.

  “It was fine, not a lot of things happened today,” he texted.

  “Can we meet at your house?” Ken asked.

  “Sure, I will be waiting,” Andrew continued his research on Clutch Crafter.

  “Hello,” Ken knocked on the door.

  Andrew opened the door. They both sat and talked for a while.

  Then Ken asked if he had found something about Clutch Crafter.

  “Not a lot, but he has a scar on his right eye. I don’t know where he is from or his name, though,” Andrew told Ken.

  “We shouldn’t worry about a hero, right? But—” Ken muttered.

  “I can’t stop thinking about him,” he added.

  “Let’s leave that. I have something even more important to reveal,” Andrew said.

  “What’s that?” Ken asked.

  “Do you remember that day when horses chased us?” Andrew asked as he took out a note from his desk.

  “Yes, wait, I also have something to say,” Ken was about to reveal.

  “Ok, you reveal it first,” Andrew told him.

  “That day, Lucera couldn’t run for long, so I decided to carry her, and when we were about to give up, we ran into a dead end,” he started revealing.

  “I thought it was over for us, but then I chose to flip my coin as I was confused to make a decision, and something magical happened,” he added.

  “When the horses are nearing us, my coin landed right before a horse’s eyes. After seeing it, it screamed something, and then suddenly all horses became friendly for some reason.” Ken took a deep breath after revealing it.

  “Is it because of the coin?” Andrew asked.

  This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  “I don’t know, but it’s the only conclusion I can come to,” Ken told him.

  “Since when are you keeping this coin?” Andrew started the questionnaire.

  “I don’t remember the exact age, but I found it somewhere in the dark place,” he tried thinking, but his head started to hurt.

  “Give me the coin,” he reached out his hands.

  Ken gave his favourite coin.

  “Wait, this design is not from this century, right? It looks like it’s pretty old,” Andrew said, seeing the coin.

  “What did you want to tell me?” asked Ken.

  “I think Vittario has some sort of animal-controlling power,” Andrew showed Ken his note and said how he came to this conclusion.

  “What?” Ken was shocked.

  He suddenly remembered the day when he said that there could be some power users in this world.

  “So, I am not the only one,” he thought.

  “Now that I think, maybe I also have some powers,” Andrew remembered the lines when he was in a giant hole.

  “But should I tell him about this?” Both thought at the same time.

  The note that Andrew gave Ken has several incidents in which people complained about animals going wild.

  “How am I supposed to react to this?” Ken wondered.

  “Why did they kidnap Vittario’s parents?” Andrew looked for answers.

  “A lot of random incidents happened in the past month. I don’t think it is a coincidence,” Ken muttered.

  “Yeah, I think the only one who can give answers to this is Vittario,” Andrew had some plans to execute.

  “Let’s meet him tomorrow at his house, shall we?” Ken understood the task.

  “We will go alone; others can rest for some days,” Andrew.

  “How would we go to such a distant place without a car?” Ken asked.

  “You will see tomorrow,” Andrew looked confident as he grinned.

  The next day, Ken returned to college after a long time. Everyone was stunned when he entered the college for some reason.

  “Why are they seeing me like that?” Ken couldn’t help but think of all possible scenarios.

  “I don’t know, maybe they missed you,” Andrew said with a half-smile.

  “They missed me, who would think of me?” Ken thought as he walked past the ground.

  “Oh no! I forgot to text Lucera,” he remembered the most important task.

  “Should I text her, now or afterwards?” he was confused.

  He decided to go back to the good old routine as he took out his coin. When he saw it, he felt different.

  “When and where did I get this coin?” he restarted his thinking session.

  Andrew tapped on his shoulder and asked, “Why did you take this now?”.

  “Yeah, I forgot,” Ken flipped his coin over as he thought heads would be text now and tails would be text in the evening.

  It was tails.

  “Ohh! I can’t text her now,” he looked up at the ceiling and thought.

  Andrew enjoyed his reaction as he had missed that for over a week now.

  The day went normally, as they both chose to walk to the houses.

  “We will meet at 4:30 pm at your house,” Andrew waved, saying that.

  “How is he going to come?” Ken thought while waving.

  It was 4:30 pm as Ken went outside his house, and he was waiting for Andrew.

  After a few minutes, a familiar-looking car stopped by.

  “I have seen it somewhere,” Ken tried recalling.

  Andrew stepped out and looked at Ken.

  “This…This is Roger’s car, right?” he asked.

  “Yes, I got it from him for today,” Andrew replied.

  “How is he? What did you say to him?” Ken started asking questions.

  “First, step on to the car and I will explain while we go,” Andrew stepped on to it.

  “Ok, fine,” Ken also entered it.

  As they travelled, Andrew told Ken how he got it from Roger’s wife.

  “He is still in rehab,” he said.

  After 1 hr of travel, they reached the same village that they had come to before.

  The villagers treated them differently this time around.

  Then they proceeded to Vittario’s place, which took 30 minutes.

  It was 6:03 pm when they reached his place. Lorenzo was the first one to see them.

  He ran and hugged them as they were entering the house.

  Then they had a chat with Vittario’s family, and after some time, Andrew called Vittario outside to discuss something.

  Vittario's left hand is still injured, but he can walk normally.

  Ken decided to speak to his family rather than going outside.

  “Did you have some powers?” Andrew asked him.

  “Why did you ask such a random question?” Vittario remained calm even if his mind was thinking.

  “Only if you answer, I can say your family has been attacked,” he told.

  “Should I—“ Vittario thought.
