Elliot was looking down then, his eyes fixed on the ground, "Then... where are my parents?"

Bunyan shook his head, "Elliot... I must say it. I found you downstream of the Zhinga Mountains..."

"What's so special about them?" the boy asked.

"Since men started walking on earth, that place has been home of some... monsters," the old man crossed his arms, closing his eyes.

"Monsters?" Elliot blinked in surprise.

"They are invisible creatures as it's been claimed. No one has ever seen them," Bunyan continued, "I found you at the base of the mountain."

Elliot looked down, "So... I was..."

Bunyan nodded in anticipation.

"An orphan... even before you found me..." he said, looking down.

"You know," Bunyan opened an eye, "You can find more about these creatures if you were to find the Kanryu Shaman. He's said to be an hermit in Morning Dew Mountain, South West of Ichinou."

"So, if I find him, I'll be able to get information on the creatures. But what for?" Elliot asked, not fully convinced.

"If you can find these creatures, you'll be able to interact with them. It's probable that you'll be able to also get some information of why you came from so high up of the mountains."

Elliot nodded and stood up.

"You are going?" Bunyan asked, looking up at his friend.

Elliot nodded yet again.

Bunyan smiled, "All the baby birds leave their nest someday. I'm glad you finally decided to walk your own path."

Elliot smiled back and went to his 'father' to give him a hug.

"Come on, you better get going," said Bunyan after hugging him for some seconds, "Take the Zenny on the table and buy new equipment, you'll need it. Leave that old sword here."

"Thanks Bunyan," Elliot smiled and left his katana on the sturdy desk, then went to grab a bag with lots of Zenny inside, "I'll go to Ichinou then."

"Good luck Elliot, you'll need it."

The boy nodded a last time and left the house.
