Affinity:Chaos

Klaus shut his mouth when he heard Grey's words. He didn't have any plans of saying anything bad, but since Grey felt this way, he shut up.

Grey went over to look at Arya's brother who had been in the same state for well over a year plus.

The bunny leader appeared and told him how to use the fruit to help Arya's brother. Grey followed the bunny leader's instructions and to his surprise, KY worked faster than he even imagined.

Within a few minutes, Arya's brother opened his eyes, staring around in confusion.

Arya, who was watching him closely, rushed over to hug him when he saw him open his eyes. She was relieved to finally see her elder brother. He was the only family he had, and although Grey came into the picture, he was always traveling.

Grey smiled when he saw them, this was something he had wanted to do for months now. Now that he has been able to help them out, he was happy.

….

A few hours later.

It took a while before Arya's brother got up from the bed and started talking, after all, he had been in that position for a long time.

"Thank you for helping me. I thought I was dead." He bowed to Grey, showing his gratitude.

"It's okay. I promised Arya would save you, and I've fulfilled that." Grey ruffled Arya's hair while speaking.

Arya giggled when Grey ruffled her hair. She was beyond happy at the moment. She never thought that Grey would be able to wake her brother up, but he did.

"What can I do to repay you?" Arya's brother asked.

"Nothing. I did this for her well-being." Grey shook his head, he looked at the duo and decided to bring them back to the Region the Dawson Family was situated.

There was no need bringing Arya and her brother to the Dawson Family, Arya's brother's talent wasn't up to par, and he didn't want those from the Dawson Family to treat them in a bad way. However, they would be safer if they were close to the Dawson Family. He could at least get a few people to watch them and keep them safe.

He knew his mother would have no issues with taking care of them, but like his father, she too didn't stay at home frequently.

Grey spoke with them for a while before heading out to meet Klaus who was enjoying the scenery.

The triplets had decorated the place to look very nice and it was a good place to sit and think. Of course, Klaus had nothing he was thinking about, but he felt quite peaceful there.

"What's up?" He asked when Grey walked over.

"I'll take them back with me. I won't take them to the Dawson Family, but close by. My mom should be able to get someone to watch them."

"That's nice." Klaus picked up a rose flower, "I didn't think you would be saving people you're not close to."

Grey shrugged when he heard this. He knew Klaus wasn't trying to be sarcastic.

Given his personality, he rarely saves people, but there was no helping it. When he saw Arya, he just couldn't watch her travel alone in that place. So with nothing left to do, he had to help. Unfortunately, things went the way they did, so he took her with him. Since he didn't want the responsibility, he dumped them with the triplets who had done a great job with taking care of them.

The triplets were all at the Peak of the Sage Plane at the moment. Even while taking care of them, they've never neglected their training, and it was evident.

Grey and Klaus sat down in the garden as they passed off time. The bunny leader had run off. Grey didn't know where it went, but for the past few days now, whenever they took a break in any area, it would always run off to the forest and come back late.

Grey knew it was up to something, but he didn't know what it was up to.

Void didn't sense anything interesting around, so he stayed with the duo, sleeping for most of the time.

They asked Alice and Reynolds if they've started their journey to the Dawson Family manor, and the duo replied with the same answer, yes.

They were all eager to meet up, especially with Grey who they hadn't been able to speak with for over a year now. Not just that, but they also wanted to see how the Dawson Family was like. It was a famous Family and anyone would be proud of coming from such a Family.

Grey and Reynolds stayed with the triplets for a day, and after giving them freedom to travel across the Continent, but return to the Dawson Family manor before the upcoming war, Grey let the triplets go and took both Arya and her brother with them.

Their journey to the Dawson Family started.

It would take at least two weeks or so to get there from their current location.

Grey planned on seeing if he could contact his Teacher with the device they came up with to send food over. It had been over a year since he sent a meal over to his Teacher, and to his surprise, his Teacher had not requested for one yet. He wasn't too sure about the current situation of his Teacher, but he hoped that he was okay.

Klaus was more curious about his father's health than anything else.

While heading to a City so they could use the teleportation array, they passed through a forest and Grey easily killed a Sage Plane beast and made a scrumptious meal with it, sending it over to his Teacher.

He stayed in the area for a while, awaiting a reply from his Teacher. Just when he was about to give up, the plague lit up and he saw a note.

The note read, "Boy, did you want to kill me? I've been starving for so long!"

Seeing this, Grey laughed out loud. Looks like his Teacher was still very much okay since he could sense this. He took out the note he had prepared beforehand and sent it over.

It didn't take up to three minutes before they got their reply. Klaus' father was still being treated, and even after so long, it was unknown if he would be able to use the elements again.

Contrary to Klaus' expectations, Blake and Delia didn't have a child yet and were more focused on their training. According to what Grey's Teacher said, they were both in the First stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

Grey didn't think they would've grown by so much. He couldn't help but wonder where they were training.

The place had to at least be as good as the Aurora Continent if they wanted to improve by so much.

Klaus wrote more messages, which Grey's Teacher replied to. In the end, he asked for more food and told Grey to train hard. He said a calamity was coming, and there was no certainty if they would be able to escape from it.

Grey knew he was speaking about the seal which was about to be broken.

Klaus was happy that his father was still alive, although vexed by his current state, there was nothing he could do.

"Do you by chance have anything that can help?" He asked Grey after they finished speaking with Chris.

"Nothing." Grey shook his head, seeing Klaus' dejected face, he added, "I'll ask my father or grandfather, they should be able to help."

Klaus nodded, but didn't say much. If even Chris was unable to help his father in the place he currently is, he wasn't too confident that Grey's father or grandfather would be of any help.

The duo didn't stay in the forest any longer and rushed to the city close to them.

….

Days went by as the group traveled from city to city, with the help of the teleportation array, it didn't take too long for them to get to the Region the Dawson Family was located.

When they got there, they stopped using teleportation arrays. According to Klaus, they needed to see all the nice places in the Region.

Grey didn't have any issues with them and took them around. He had been to a few nice places while traveling, so he didn't stop them from heading there.

A few days later, they were at the Dawson Family manor.

Arya and her brother were left behind, as the duo went to the Dawson Family alone. Klaus could barely believe his eyes, when they first met, he was the one from a powerful Family while Grey was a late bloomer who just awakened his elements after three more years. But now, it was like their roles were reversed, the only difference is that he was a genius.

When they got into the Dawson Family, Cori rushed over to greet Grey.

"You're back!"

Grey's expression fell and when he turned, he saw Klaus staring at him with a strange look.

"Do you value your life?"

Klaus nodded.

Grey smiled, "Good, shut up."
