"So... What now?" I asked
"We find my brother." He said
"Where do we start?" I asked
"By finding were he is." He said
"And how do we do that?" I asked
"We go see my brother's best friend and my worst enemy." He said
He turned around and walked out of the room. I followed him out and down multiple hallways. We got to the door of the castle and he opened them. We walked down the road leading to the castle and into the town. It was an old fashioned town that seamed strait out of the 1750's. It was very underdeveloped compared to the human world.
"Where are we going?" I finally asked him
"You will see. We should be there in about one hour on foot." He said
"What?! We are going to walk for a whole hour?" I asked
"Who said we would go human speed?" He asked
"What?" I questioned
"You remember how you out ran me when we were leaving Vortex's place?" He asked
"Yes..." I said
"Just run like that again and try to keep up with me. It has been so long since I last did this." He said
There was a sudden gust of wind and he rose off of the ground. Once he was clear of the houses, he propelled forward and disappeared. I had no idea how I had run so fast last time, so I just ran as fast as I could, not really expecting it to work. Before I knew it, I had caught up with Ash and I started following him at super speed. He looked down a couple times to make sure I was still following him.
After running for about 5 minutes, Ash started lowering back to the ground and I slowed down. I came to a stop beside him and realized that I was not even breathing hard.
"How did you do that?" I asked
"I'm the god of the elements. I can do whatever I want. I see you learned how to use your super speed." He said
"Ya, I guess." I answered
I looked around and saw that we were on one of the back roads of the town. There was a field with a forest at the end of it, on one side of the road and a small house on the other. To my surprise, Ash started walking into the field. He walked straight towards the middle of the field and I followed him, running to catch up. I was still about 4 meters away from him when he suddenly disappeared. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked around but he was nowhere to be seen.
