• Akira:The Darkness Part 7

    ~The Following Day As We Left off~
    We walked for over seven hours.First of all I needed to make sure he doesn't think I'm weak.Hmph,He acted like I was a child,well sort of.Nijix ran up ahead just in case I guess.I looked around,and for the first time I noticed how pretty everything was.The tree's leafs seemed to glitter with the dew and morning sun shining down on them.The road was dirt put it seemed to make its own path.Maybe like I make my own choices.This road twisted and turned when it wanted.The grass swayed back and forth with the wind.I stopped and felt the breeze.Ah,so relaxing.Closing my eyes for a short time and breathing in the fresh air,I opened my eye a little and caught someone or something looking at me.I closed my eyes again and looked at the same spot.Nothing.My eyes are playing tricks on me?No,my eyes never fail me.
    "Hurry up!Geez,I'm your guild not your grandmother!"Nijix yelled a bit stern but I didn't care.I walked faster up the road he was standing there staring at me,he gestured me to come look ahead,with his hand."Come on,I ain't got all day."
    ".....Shut up..."I told him under my breath.He twitched in annoyance.I looked over his shoulder.He pointed north.I looked and saw a small clearing of forest trees surrounding tents.
    "Bandits?"I asked him,I flicked away a fly that landed on my hair.He shook his head.
    "No,they are the natives of these parts.You better watch you back.They have spies everywhere.I might even be one of them."He winked at the last sentence.I twitched,uncomfortable.
    "Ok...."I paused."Never do that again!"And I walked ahead with my hair flowing behind me.I got several yards away from him and heard him laugh.This is so going to be a long day.

    ~One Hour Later~
    Nijix found another clearing of a plain.He went on ahead and sat up two tents.I noticed he had a problem with the stakes.He grabbed a hammer and pounded them in the ground.Not even a bear could up root them now.I looked up at the sky,it was getting dark and the clouds seemed to disappear into thin air.I told him I'll get some fire wood.Walking into the forest I saw two eyes staring at me.
    ".....OK.....scary but,I have to get some fire wood"I spoke to myself.I found a bunch of twigs,leaves,and lastly dead logs the size of my arm.I putted them up and walked back to camp.
    "Took you long enough."Nijix said up front,he grabbed the twigs and put them in a pit surrounded by rocks.He got a fire starting after ten tries.And half of those tries he almost lit himself alight.The last time he lit himself alight and got the fire going.I smirked but did not laugh.
    "Go on laugh!I'm on fire for gods sake!Its funny!!"He laughed at himself and patted the flames away from his pants.They were set on fire once again.This time I laughed hard.And fell over.
    "Hahahahaha!!!"I laughed long and hard.I can't believe this is my first time laughing.It feels so good to laugh.
    "See!Now you laugh!"He ran away and I heard a thud and a splash."NOTHING HAPPENED!!"He yelled.I had to laugh again.Maybe,this Nijix is alright.If he can set up a tent and not die from fire,he is alright.I walked to where he ran off.He was sitting in a pudde of water.
    "Care to help?"He asked and chuckled.I helped him out of the water.
    "We are hopeless"I said to myself as I walked to my tent."So hopeless"But this time.I laughed.
