Fight or Die

New Start

- Moon

Me and Darkstalker considered running away. Following legends like the lost continent.

Who knows if its real. But we don't have much left on Pyrrhia anyways. I have Deathbringer, thats all. And Morrowseer, but I can live without him just fine.

Darkstalker has his little sister Whiteout. From what I've heard she is a little cooky after their parents death. No one will adopt her so she stays in a orphanage.

Turns out, Darkstalker is a what some call a hybrid. The child of cross tribe breading. It's an odd term, considering Darkstalker is no mix of animals.

Neither is his sister, but thats just another reason Whiteout can't get adopted. She's ten years old. So small and innocent.

I sat infront of a fire in the middle of the woods just staring at the flames flickering.

"How can you got that long without thinking directly worded thoughts?" Darkstalker questions.

"My emotions are too strong to try and put them into words." I say softly. There is no point in sugar coating anything with Darkstalker.

On top of him knowing everything I think, he sees the world through a dark lense. Making things sound better than they are is seen stupid in his eyes.

"Still thinking about him?" it was more of a statment than a question, still I answered it.

"Always thinking about him. You think about Clearsight all the time." He falls silent. Qibli and Clearsight are touchy topics.

"So where do we go? I think I can see the lost continent. If we go it isn't just into the ocean forever. But I have no idea about any people being there. It would just be you, Whiteout, and I. Maybe Deathbringer and Glory ." I nod along with Darkstalker's words, but I wasn't fully listening.

I looked up at the starry sky. Suddenly a warm breeze blew my short hair in my face. I gently brushed away the hair from my face and smiled.

I couldn't help, but thinking of Qibli. Everything made me think of Qibli. When the wind blows jn my face I imagine him moving it out of my face.

When I feel warmth I imagine his warm embrace. It's just the way I see things now. Obessive, slightly, I will admit that. But I don't care anymore.

I just want to go to the lost continent and have a fresh start. Forget all the horrific things that happened here. Deathbringer coming with us would be amazing. But he has a life here. Or atleast one worth living.

I looked at visions to pass some time. Deathbringer just found out Qibli was left in the battle field to die. He is emotional. Right now all Deathbringer knows is that I'm dead, Qibli is dead, and Kinkajou is dead.

Turtle used his magic to hide himself. He plans on seeking for me, he saw me get captured. Yet he did nothing about it.

Turtle doesn't have much left either, but he trusts me so he intends to find me. Infact he is quite close to us now. Maybe ten miles west.

I carefully wrap my arms around my legs.

I miss Qibli.

Darkstalker sighs at my sadness. It is very stange being around Darkstalker. We can have internal converstaions. We don't even need to have conversations.

We can both see what the conversation will be before it happens anyways. I don't bother to look into the future often. Only to see how everyone back home is doing.

Suddenly I am stricken with an idea. Darkstalker looks up abruptly.

"Thats...interesting. Never thought about it like that." he says slowly. "But is it worth staying here in this misery? Not like it will bring any of them back." he challenges.
