SASHA'S POV
It hurts, ok? Being...pushed behind like this. Why Marcy said all those things? They're not true, Sasha's not a bad leader!
She walks in the forest, mad, cursing silently against the world, herself, the sky, all the mushrooms that surround her and her feet.
-The fuck?? I'm not a bad leader! I'm not one who always wants to be in command! I'm a quiet guy! I mean...UGH!- She curses another time.
She already misses Marcy but she can't go back. She has to save Anne and Marcy too, she doesn't trust those gay newts. Not at all. They seem to be Andrias' firsts in command, like the King ordered them to catch the humans.
Sasha swallows. Ok, maybe she has to return back and talk with Marcy again. She insulted them without a reason, she has been a complete asshole. Not fair.
She turns, ready to come back (but not for apologize) and stops all of sudden. She has smelled something in the air, her stomach growls.
Food! There's food somewhere and Sasha's hungry. She walks to the good smell, trying to guess what kinda of meat it is that's burning over a grill.
-What the hell are you?- Sasha curses as she jumps out of a bumper. Her idea was to grab the meat and run but... she exchanges a gaze with the human-sized toad sitting on the grass near the meat and she has to stop her plan. The toad flinches as he sees her.
-Huh? What the hell are YOU, instead. You look ugly! An ugly monster!- The toad croaks, Sasha closes her hands in fists for the nervousness.
-I'm not a monster!- She has already been insulted, she doesn't need a second round.
-I'm Sasha. I'm a human and I want to save my friends! Don't tell me you're on that Andrias side! Because...if is that so...- She turns her head, sees a stick under a tree. She jumps to grab it, pointing against the toad with no fear.
-...I am not afraid of you! And I'm ready to fight!- The toad looks at her, shocked, he stays silent for a few seconds. Sasha's breath is fast, nervous. She's anxious.
After a minute or maybe more, the toad laughs, Sasha looks at him shocked.
-WHAT???- She yells, mad.
-I'm serious, you dirty, smelling, ugly toad!- All her yells are useless, the toad just laughed and sneered harder, he stops only when Sasha throws at him the stick she was still holding.
-Oh, girl...you're ugly but funny!- The toad smirks, doesn't care about the stick that hits him on his shoulder.
-Come closer, come on. I'm curious, from where you're from? Newtopia? I've never been there.- Sasha frowns but comes closer to him, seats on the trunk and crosses her legs.
-I've never heard of Newtopia. I'm new, here.- She says, sharp. The toad smirks another time.
-But you're brave. Ugly, funny and brave.- Sasha glances him with a killer expression.
-I'm not ugly! Stop repeating that!- She whispers, mad, the toad raises both his hands to surrender.
-Ok, ok. You're not ugly...- He caresses his chi.
-I'm Grime.-
-I'm Sasha.- Sasha says, quiet. She doesn't even know why she's there, talking with a toad instead of walking away, searching for Anne. Maybe it's because she doesn't know anymore what to do. Marcy was right, she needs a guide.
-Well, Sasha. You have the right temperament to be a swordmaster, you know? I've seen it from how you grabbed that stick...you were truly convinced you were going to hurt me with that!- Grime sneers again, Sasha blushes violently and looks away but she's happy, in a strange way. The word swordmaster is intriguing her.
-Have you ever held a sword, girl?- Grime asks and as Sasha shakes his head, he grabs a bag near the trank where they're sitting.
-Then...here, look.- Grime takes a couple swords from the bag, one light blue and the other pink. Sasha's heart misses a few beats, she's stunned. They're two beautiful swords.
-Holy shit.- She comments, grabbing one before Grime can stop her. She stand up, moving the sword in the air. It's way heavier than what she thought in the start, damnit. She moves it anyway, careful to not leave it.
-Woah, careful with that, kiddo!- Grime stands up near her a second after she almost chops the dinner and the bonfire in just one move. He puts one hand over Sasha's, putting down the sword.
-You're crazy, duh. Seat again, we have to talk...- The girl obeys him just because she doesn't want to leave the sword, she seats placing it in her lap, careful to not cut herself.
-From where you're from?- Grime asks, Sasha sighs because she knows she's about to seem a fool. The entire story is...absurd. Simply absurd, she knows. But she says it anyway, explaining to Grime every single bad thing that happened to her, and how her best friend left her alone to stay with strangers.
-Newts.- Grime comments, disdainful, when Sasha's done with her talk.
-They're the worst.- Sasha groans.
-I know!! Marcy should have stayed with me! We're friends...aren't we??- She sighs again, looks at the fire.
-I don't know what to do...I mean, I have to save my friends. Both of them. But how? I...if only I was a warrior.- She complains again. She can't do anything in this new world, she's so useless. She's about to cry and she hates this sensation. Grime pats her one time on her blonde head.
-Well, we can fix at least one thing...- Sasha turns to him, flinches.
-You'll teach me...?- She asks, pointing at the swords. Grime smirks.
-Of course! And the Rebellion of the Newts isn't the only one that's fighting against Andrias! There are also me and my loyal toads.- Sasha smiles, stands up. She has already decided her side.
-I'm with you, Grime.- She says, proudly, Grime sneers.
-You're truly a fool one, Sasha! Fine, then, welcome in my squad!- Sasha improvises a few movements with her sword near the bonfire.
-What's your plan?- She asks as she's still "fighting" with no one.
-The Powers are too strong, too dangerous. We have to stop Andrias before he can find the others, but we can't do this alone. We're trying to find as many allies as possible and now, we have to go for your friend Anne. We can't let her in Andrias' hands.- Sasha turns to Grime, happy to hear he agrees with her. They have the same plan in mind. She makes a step ahead.
-That's right! We don't need to use any Power, there's Anne! We don't want to create any new mess...- She hesitates a second.
-So, we'll seek for allies. Right, Grime?- Grime nods, he stands up with a groan and walks to the meat on the bonfire.
-You can say it louder, girl! Next step for us is to return back to my army, then we'll go for Wartwood.- Sasha frowns.
-What it is?- Grime shakes his shoulders.
-A frogs' town. You'll see it when we'll be there. In a couple weeks.- Sasha swallows. That's a lot of time...she thinks. They have to save Anne before...but maybe Anne is not even trapped. She sighs, she doesn't know what to do. Looking at Grime who controls if the meat is ready, Sasha decides: for now, she'll follow Grime. If Anne will be in trouble, Sasha will make her way to her and save her bestie by her own.
