He went to Marlene and gave his key back, "This will be my final day. See you around, Marlene."She tilted her head. She didn"t remember when she gave her name to him, must have heard it from somewhere else.
She smiled at him, "You are always welcome back. You brought me a ton of business."
Radley was confused by that statement. How exactly did he bring her business, probably something he wasn"t aware of.
He waved and made his way out. It was finally time to move on.
He first made his way towards the old man who had already set up shop. He waved coming closer, "h.e.l.lo old man!"
The old man smiled, "Ah, I see you got your voice back, and yes, she is ready."
This got him all giddy and excited. Finally, this was a long wait for him. The old man pulled out a beautiful piece. It was well crafted. A beautiful blue hue that came from the head. A shaped axe handle that was wrapped in leather at the lower part. The axe handle was made a darker brown and the head was wrapped in leather. A little dreamcatcher was hanging from the handle. Radley found it to be a nice touch.
He picked her up and gave her a few swings, "She is beautiful." He looked at the stats 15 damage. 100 Durability. Wow, what an improvement.
The old man spoke up, "What do you want to name her?"

He smiled admiring his axe, "I think I will call her, the Protector. She saved my a.s.s even when she was in pieces."
The old man chuckled, "I thought that you might have called her something like the lonely."
"Just because I prefer to walk alone doesn"t mean I will name everything like that. I mean come on. Why would I call my son or daughter, "Solitude" or "Lonely"? It seems rather sad even for me."
He laughed, "Just jesting kid. So have you found yourself a sponsor?"
"No, why?"
"I don"t mind being your sponsor."
"As much as I appreciate the sentiment, I don"t think I will be coming back, or at least I am not sure."
"If you ever do come back. Give me a call."
Radley nodded and shook the old man"s hand, "Thank you for this beauty. I will cherish her."
"I ain"t done yet, lad." He gave him a leather strap, "Something to hold your weapon in. It goes around the shoulder."
"Oh right. This is a most generous gift."
He shook his head, "Part of the package. How unpractical a weapon would be if you weren"t able to holster it."
He placed the holster over his should and sheathed his axe on his back and clipped it in place. He jumped around a few times to check how practical it was. Radley was impressed.
The old man pointed to the front, "You can even sheath a few throwing knives if you ever have a need for them."
Radley smiled and thanked him again. He turned and waved goodbye.
The old man smiled looking at his back, "That kid"s going to become a beast if he ever reaches the level twenty mark."
He saw Marlene and Magdelene still preparing there stall, "I guess I am a bit early."
"Ah, loner. All better I see. No, its no matter. Your gear is ready."
Shye handed over his neatly folded gear. He opened them and saw that they looked completely different. Had a bit of a chemical smell, which pleased Radley actually.
"I redid the st.i.tches so they could fit more snugly. Afterward, I did some tweaking to the general shape. Did proper treating and, changed the color."
Radley was speechless. He would have never been able to achieve this, "This is really good. Thank you!"
She smiled and puffed her chest, "I only do good work."
He went to the backroom and changed. The shoes even had proper soles. Everything fitted perfectly. There was even a material lining on the inside to make it more comfortable. He moved around to test his new gear. No problem at all. Heck, he was moving better than he used to. It even had a blet now, rather than the string he used before. He smiled daringly. Now he had a real chance out there.
He thanked them once again and said, "Well, this will probably be the last time you will see me. I am leaving today."
"Oh? You intend to come back?"
"Probably not, but I can"t say for sure."
Radley tried giving the shirt he wore back. Magdalene refused it, "Keep it. It might be useful in the future."
He nodded and left.
He still needed to do one last stop. He needed to go see Elita and Rita.
When he got there he was met with an unwanted face. Adira was outside the gate speaking with a random man.
Radley was hesitant but he spoke up in any case, "Adira. I wish to see Rita and Elita."
She turned around and gave him the scowl of death. She just pointed with her head to go in not saying a word to him.
Radley nodded in appreciation and headed towards the main house. Elita was in a wheelchair with Rita standing right beside her. This made things easier for him. He could check up on them both one last time. He saw that Rita was still using crutches but looked a h.e.l.l of a lot better. Elita looked better herself but it seems she was still suffering from damage.
"h.e.l.lo, girls."
Rita spoke up first, "Oh, Radley. You showed up. Good to see you."
Elita waved as well, "Hi Loner."
He got straight to the point, "Well, the reason for me being here is to say goodbye and to check up on you guys one last time."
It hit Rita the hardest, "What! You"re leaving?!"
Elita sighed, "Well I kind of knew you would stay but I have to say. This is rather unexpected."
"Well, I never was going to stay. Once my gear was ready I was setting up to leave."
A faint shimmering of a tear formed in Rita"s eyes, "Will I…We see you again?"
"Don"t know. Probably not."
"Then I am coming with you!"
"No, you are not. You are way too weak in your current state. You will only slow me down."
Elita sighed, "Loner is right. We would only slow him down. Be careful on the road."
She rolled forward and greeted him by hand. Radley took it with a smile and turned to leave. Rita wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Elita.
Rita waited till they Radley was out of earshot, "Why did you stop me!?"
Elita replied with a sly smile, "Don"t be so rash. He thinks he such a hotshot. We will chase h8im yet."
This confused Rita," What do you mean?"
Elita smiled, "We will heal up, and then we will chase him down, "What he didn"t know is that I placed a tracker on him."
This little bit of information made Rita smile, "Well then, it is bye...for now. Radley."
