Between The Worlds

Human Bear name is Andre Yross. The reason for his visit in hospital in such early hours is because the wife of his is bedridden here. After he spent some time with her, he was ready to come back home yet, by pure coincidence through the opened door, Andre noticed Raphel laying on the bed with bandages on his face...

'It's because of me...'

He was sure! Such thought caused the human bear to shake incessantly as he felt like soon, his life might change as police puts him into prison!

'No-no!'

Andre cried inwardly, similar to Raphel. Looking around if someone is watching him, he only entered the room when no one was around. In such early hours, there were few people...

Human bear wanted one thing. To apologize and plead Raphel for forgiveness, so that he won't report him to the police! With bright smile that looked scary, Andre approached the snakeman...

"B-bear! Human Bear!"

Of course Raphel got scary by this forced smile. For him, every strong and scary person was bear! Just like that, Raphel made the human bear to tremble with anger.

'I must hold. My life is more important!'

"Young man. How much do you want? I can give you one thousand dollars!"

"..."

'What the hell he is talking about?'

Raphel inwardly thought while looking directly into the human bear's eyes. When it comes to money, he has to focus! The fear of coward disappeared and the mind of his began working on 100%! Soon, Raphel realized something...

'Someone must have seen our spar from outside and called police! He is scared of police!'

Raphel thought as he nodded inwardly. In the end, the money is the best! Why would he, who can make an air tremble and use magic be scared of police? Because they have guns!

'One bullet and you are dead!'

"M-money and fre-free training!"

"What?"

While Raphel was pretending to be hurt, Andre got stupefied. This coward wants to train? Such question couldn't leave his mind as he kept looking at injured body of Raphel. Nevertheless... it would be better to give him money and some training, than spent the years in the prison!

"Alright. You can come to my dojo and train with others."

"N-no! I want you to directly train me!"

Raphel screamed, still pretending to be hurt. The technique of old man was superb and thanks to that he had won against the young bear! At least, that's what Raphel thought... That's why, he wanted to get two or three another techniques from old man, so that he can get another beasts with those techniques...

At least Raphel knew, that with his young bear he isn't that safe yet!

'If I get techniques from Human bear, then some other from guild, I will be able to survive the dungeon even as helper!'

Thus, like that, Raphel became direct disciple of Human Bear! Soon, his mother came and took him back home! Today was friday, and tomorrow was no school! He could enjoy the three days free with p.l.e.a.s.u.r.es!

"F.U.C.K!"

Something that was supposed to be p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e was totally opposite as Raphel lost yet another game. Either he lost skill because he hadn't played for a while or simply was too worried about night, Raphel once again said excuses as he laid on his chair.

His life in the another world is already set. As member of guild, he has home. Then, with skills, young bear and snake, he somehow should be able to survive in the dungeon... Those beasts also should help him tame other young beasts, thus, with time...

"Time... how long are those teleportations going to maintain for?"

While Raphel was thinking, his phone rang out. Looking at the screen, Raphel eyes went wide. It was Robert...

'He also should be kept teleporting to another world...'

-

Soon, they met at the park. Sitting on the bench, the young men didn't speak at all. Looking at the ground as if thinking about something deeply, neither one of them started the conversation. However, Robert soon enough spoke...

"You know, about those dreams... they are real. It's new world and I don't even know how to stop going there. It's the same for you, right?"

"Yeah..."

"My background is quite strange. I had slept for my whole life in coma, and only awakened lately... The worst thing is that my 'royal' family used me immediately as tool of marriage. I don't mind that thought. My wifey is cute! But ya know, I never was in relationship, so I don't know whether she is faking her affection or not."

"Yeah..."

"Then, for next two days, I have been training swordsmanship... I realized that sooner or later, they will use me again, thus, I need strength..."

"Yeah..."

"Raphel... what about you? What happened?"

Robert knew that something bad must have happened. After all, when he had told about his happy experience, Raphel was the first one to jump at him. At first, he thought it was because Raphel got jelaous over too real dream.

But after he gave it too much thought, Robert realized that Raphel might be like him too. Someone who wanders between worlds! He was sure of it after he heard his lifeless answers...

Something bad definitely had happened!

"I... have been thrown into jungle... FULL OF BEARS!"

Raphel jumped at Robert and hugged him tightly crying loudly!
