The two came out of the portal, as they saw a cave with moss growing on the sides, a wooden table nearby, with a few papers and a mechanical thing on top of it.
"... We're out." Ishi sighed, as she walked away.
Roku stared at this new place, as they ran over to the papers, and began trying to comprehend what were they.
Roku quickly realized he didn't know how to read.
Ishi waited for her brother to do whatever the hell he was doing right now, before Roku suddenly grabbed the mechanical thing, and disabled the portal.
"Roku, what are you doing-" Ishi looked at the portal, the sudden change from a bright red glow into nothing being there at all shocked her.
Roku stared at the place where the portal was, and just... Walked out of the cave.
Ishi followed, worried about him.
"Uh, Roku, what happened to ya?-" Ishi asked, with a worried tone.
"Nothing." Roku just continued walking forward, as they now stood on top of a hill, as the night sky reflected onto a small city on the ground.
Roku started down at it, and for a small while, he believed this was the end... But of course, he had second thoughts soon after.
"... Is that a village?" Roku asked Ishi.
"I dunno, but we should probably not go there, there could be enemies-"
Roku jumped down the hill, and ran into the town.
It was midnight, few mobians were out on the streets, most stores were closed, and Roku just ran over into a alleyway.
Ishi ran over, panting. "YOU- YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ATTACKED!"
Roku sat down on a wooden box nearby, as rain began setting in. "I'm strong now. No need to protect me."
Ishi stared at Roku, and sighed. "Well, guess all that training did work then."
"Sure did." Roku smirked.
"Now... We need to hide, it's night, if someone finds us, we could die."
Ishi said, before Roku looked over at a poster.
"Hm... Seems like mobians live 'ere. We could easily blend in." Roku pointed at the poster, while Ishi grunted.
"Hide in the midst of all these weak punks? HELL NO! There's a reason we got sharper fangs than those folk, they're just PREY!" Ishi ripped out the poster from the wall, and clawed it in half.
"... Look, we can be safer here. Mother's dead, the proteans can't reach us... I finally have a chance to live a good life... And ya gonna stop me from reaching it?" Roku stood up from the box, stepping over towards Ishi.
"I am finally strong after YEARS and YEARS of suffering and being pushed around, and you DARE interrupt me from doing something by my own choice for the first time in my life?" Roku looked up at Ishi, glaring at her.
Ishi stepped back, gulping. She couldn't believe this kid had courage after so many years of crying.
"I'LL CARVE MY IDENTITY, AND BE MY OWN PERSON NOW! I'LL BE ROKU! ME! AND NO ONE, WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!"
"Heh, guess I did." Roku smiled.
The rain slowly faded away, as the sun rose up, making it day.
"Hm... I'm a bit hungry now, could ya go get us some food while I make a little house for us?"
Roku walked back, as she asked Ishi.
"Yep, I was thinking the same thing, don't wanna rely eating the walls of this place."
Ishi chuckled, as she walked away.
"Oh and uh... Be safe, ok?" Roku asked, as Ishi nodded, giving a thumbs up before leaving...
A few hours later, Roku built a nice shack in the alleyway, blocking the entrance off with some pieces of scrap and a "DANGER" sign.
"Hm... Where's Ishi? I'm a bit hungry now." Roku peeked over the pieces of scrap, and saw people walking around, talking to each other, and etc.
