Earth 8018: The Story of Tyler and Kristyn

Part 9: Desert Trek (1 of 2)

As we trek through the harsh cold desert at night, we soon come to the realization that we are seriously under prepared. We need water, food, protection from the cold of night, protection the heat of day and weapons... and the only place we could get those things was back at the battle grounds where my men had already fallen. Without these things everyone of us may die out here. So we head for the battle grounds.

On the way we learned the names of the two new tag alongs we had. Turns out they're father and son. The older man lost all his memories recently. In fact he loses it quite frequently. At first being every few years. But the son had told us that lately it's been every few months. Because of whatever mental illness he has, he's prone to sporadic behavioral changes. He remembers very little of the world we live in, and he needs to be watched constantly. His name is, Bull. His son Bor, however, though having an unseemly appearance and A bit of childish attitude for his age, is quite wise. Due to him learning so much from his father before he lost his memory. At least that's what he'd told us anyway. On the way I decided to ask Tyler something that had been bothering me since I first saw him that day.

"Tyler... Let's walk ahead a bit. I'd like to talk to you."

"Sure. What about?"

"About the weird inexplicable boost of power you got when you saved me... I've never seen you move that fast or do that much damage. What was that!?"

To which Tyler replied, "Honestly? I have no idea. I saw the necklace blinking and realized you were here and I got scared and angry and I just... lost it completely. Next thing I know I was running to save you... and then I woke up in a cave with you."

This was concerning. And confusing.

"Let me get this straight... you don't remember anything that happened between the Cell and the cave?".

"No." He said, "Not a single thing."
