Eight years passes, journey begins.

Before he knew it, eight years had passed like nothing. Perros was ready to go out into the world.
He practiced shooting every day, trained his stamina and his stomach.
A few days after becoming a grown man, Perros decided it was time to leave.
"So everything I wanted to take, I got...." He said while looking at a piece of paper.
Walking out, he took a deep breath and headed into town.
"Well, good-bye, home. Maybe sometime.... I'll be back." He smiled and closed the door behind him.
When he stepped outside he took a deep breath and made his way to town.
"DAMNIT, I forgot my stuff at home!" He shouted and returned home.
"Alright, NOW I'm ready!" Perros said with determination and went to town, again...
He walked leisurely into town, taking one last look around and whistling as he walked. The wind was blowing slowly and the sea was lightly audible. Perros paused for a moment and closed his eyes.
"Do I really have everything now?" He scratched his head.
"Let's just say I do." And continued to walk towards town.
Once he arrived in town, Perros headed to the saloon to say goodbye to everyone.
When he opened the swinging door to the saloon, he heard the piano playing and the clinking of glasses.
"Everyone!" Perros shouted.
The pianist stopped playing and everyone else fell silent.
"As you know my long life dream was to become the most fearsome and knowned cowboy. And today is the day when my journey begins. So I just wanted to say... bye." He added and walked away.
"WHAT!?" Everyone shouted in surprise.
"Wait, Perros." Willie said and ran out of the saloon.
Perros was still infront of the saloon, but he stopped. And turned his head to the left.
"I know... I know, you'll miss me, won't you?" He said with a smile.
"No." Willie said.
"WITHOUT HESITATION? HOW COLD!" Perros shouted in surprise.
"There's a last thing I would like to give you, Darren's brother's hat." Willie said.
"One last thing I want to give you, Darren's brother's hat." Willie said.
"It was in the back, so even I didn't know about it. Take it. Let's say it will bring you luck." He added with smile.
"Alright, thanks Willie." Perros said gratefully.
"But, I need something else..." He added.
"What is it?" Willie asked
"Um, a horse would be a good first companion." Perros said.
"Take this one, I'll explain it later to the owner" Willie sighed.
"Thanks, Willie" Perros said and put the hat on the horse's head.
Right as he wanted to put his stuff ont the horse. The horse fell to the ground and died.
"Um, I doubt this hat will bring me luck." Perros said and looked at the white hat.
"I don't know how I will explain that, but take the other one." Willie scratched his head.
"And this time, put the hat on your own head." He added.
"Okay, thanks again..." Perros said unsurely.
This time he put the hat on his own head. Suddenly a pouch of gold fell into his lap, probably from the second floor.
"So it does bring me a little bit of happiness after all." Perros' eyes lit up like stars at seeing the pouch.
"I guess it does..." Willie said in surprise.
"Well, it's time for me to go." Perros smiled
Perros mounted the horse with his stuff. He was about to leave the town when he heard someone's voice from distance. It was Willie.
"Have a safe journey." Willie shouted with tears.
Perros waved back and looked on the picture with Darrens brother and smiled.
"You will have a future successor." He thought.
And he rode off into the sunset. A little later, night began and Perros had to create a campfire. Because in a world like the wasteland, it's cold at night.
"Well, Delgado, our journey has just begun. I'm so excited." Perros said dreamily.
It was dark, stars were shining bright and the fire was crackling. Perros made beans for dinner. And for Delgado he had carrot.
He was getting sleepy. Perros laid down beside the fire, and Delgado laid down too.
The next morning he woke up next to Delgado, who was licking his face.
"Oh, good morning Delgado." Perros laughed.
He wasn't laughing for long. He noticed something was moving under his legs.
"What?" Perros said sleepily spreading his legs.
"Eek!" Perros started screaming.
It was a snake. He quickly picked himself up off the ground, mounted his horse and rode away at the speed of lightning.
He didn't have time to slack off anyway, he had to go looking for a new gang member.
"The closest to Harnsey is the town of Bucle." Perros thought.
"Alright, Bucle it is." He added, nudging Delgado.
Next stop.... the town of Bucle.
