5:PM Now that they were safe, For now, the outcast group, consisting of Moralius, Magnus, Helus, Haden, and another prisoner.
out of breath and full of Adrenalynn, the group escaped the Arachnids, but we're not out of the danger yet. Helus looked around, and was met with a nice change of scenery. A beautiful forest with massive Red Pines, Moss coated the ground and branches. Ferns, and small bushes placed around. Helus slapped Magnus' shoulder to get his attention.
Magnus looked out at the endless forest in awe.
Moralius stood up and walked over to Helus
"What is this place?"Moralius asked.
"I... Don't know."Helus replied in a shocked tone
These humans lived their entire lives in a massive desert, some have never seen such an environment. In Fact the last time a human was here was eight- hundred years ago.
The group traveled east, inland through the forest.
6:00PM the sun was setting, and they needed to set up a camp.
"Hey Moralius! Do you know how to start a fire?" Helus asked
"Yeah. I just need a knife and a piece of flint" Moralius said.
Moralius walked to Haden, who was still holding the knife.
"Haden, it's almost sundown, we need to stop and set up camp."
Haden tossed the knife in the air, and caught it by the dull blade, than handed it to Moralius."You're starting the fire."he said.
Moralius took the knife and started trying to find firewood.
Helus walked up to the other prisoner.
"Hey, umm..."Helus said, pointing to him.
"Vladen. My name is Vladen."The prisoner said.
"Vladen, How did you get into this situation?"Helus asked.
"Wrongful Accusation."He said as if not wanting to speak of it.
"What happened?"Helus said curiously.
"I Will not speak of this!"Vladan said.
Helus walked away to help set up camp.
8:00PM The sun had set. Moralius had started a small fire and was feeding it sticks and branches. Haden was walking around patrolling the area, Magnus, and Helus were building a small shelter .Vladen was sitting next to the fire...
"Hey! I heard something!"Haden shouted from the other side of camp.
Everyone but Vladen got up, and looked out to the forest, the whole camp dimly illuminated by the small fire
Noises came from behind the treeline, small voices
Not any words, just noises. They were surrounding them.
Moralius handed Haden the knife, and took a defencive position.
8:30 Backs to the fire they stood guard, ready for anything...
What came forth from the darkness was not what they expected.
It was small, only four feet tall. Its skin was gray, massive eyes, reflecting the light.
It looked as if it was starving, its ribs were visible, it had large ears, and a long nose.
It stepped into the light, and its pupils shrunk to adapt to the light.
"What the hell is that?"Vladen said, alarmed.
"Is that a child?"Moralius said, sounding very confused.
