《Life Zero》|Chapter 5| Below is Life

Heat redated from the blinding sun making the land look hazy and dry. Every so often birds flew above them heading towards the ever so delightful ocean. When clouds block the sun, Erix thanks the gods for allowing some peace for a few seconds or minutes. Mountains grew closer and closer as the rhythmic footsteps grew slower and slower. Sweat pours down his face as he shuffled Celest back up his back. She looks less sickly but still he was nervous he was carrying around a dead body.

Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of the rushing of sweet, sweet water. His eyes darted around to find the source, but to his dismay he didn’t find it. Still wandering down the rocky road his saw a outline of a small wooden building. As he grew closer to it, he saw vines that covered it and the wood slowing falling off. Smelling the air, dust and oak wood filled his nose confirming that no humans are around. Lightly, kicking the door is creaked loudly making Celest stir around. Strolling in the old abandon shed, he laid Celest down on the cold dark floor.

Humming along to random tune, he found some candles scattered around shed. Some sunlight peak through the cracks of the walls but he lights some other light too. It reeked too so hopefully some of the candles had some pleasant smells to them.

Erix left the weird random shed to be greeted back with the heat. He was glad that no intelligent life forms should be no way near around these parts. Most creatures stay in their area with their desirable resources but here are just plains mostly left to normal animals. Though he was still careful some don’t follow those simple rules. Most magical animals lived in plains that had magic orbs litter around them, but this plain was bear.

Hearing some rustling, he sharply turned to see brown bunny passing through. It was quite little compared to other bunnies he has seen. It was a smart bunny camouflage in the dry dead like grass most predators for the bunny would miss it. But it didn’t hide from the predator staring down at the little unknowing bunny.

Slowly, the golden sun descended behind the mountains letting the heat go but the light remains. Most of the life starts to head for sleep so its eerily quiet. Exhausted by the terribly long walk, he collapsed into the somewhat soft grass and laid down as a breeze pick up. He can still the taunting of the rushing water. Exploring around the barren lands, he finally finds the small creek rushing down from the mountains. Well, it would do some water, so he doesn’t die from thirst.

Stars started to illuminate in dusky cloudy sky like an artwork; it didn’t seem real. Clouds drifted through the sky careless of the world below filled to the brim of lairs, killers, abusers and just shit people. Just like him…

Hey, everyone had their reason even the fucked-up reasons.
