Chapter 1c: The Beginning Of The End

Arron was continuing on in the woods, after meeting in that big village. "I've noticed there are so many woods..", he shrugged his shoulders and went on. As he was walking, he got a suspicion that someone was following him. He put his axe out and kept moving until he got up to a long bridge over a giant trench, of which you couldn't see the bottom of because it was foggy. "Dag. I wonder what's down there.", Arron said as he sat down on the edge, still with axe out. That suspicion was still swarming his brain so he turned his head and shouted "Who's there!". No one answered. Just squirrels hopping from tree to tree and leaves falling. But then he heard a rustle in the bushes and Arron pointed his axe at it while getting up. "Show yourself before I kill you!", He slowly moved toward the bushes and pulled his axe back and then a rabbit popped out and Arron screamed and plopped back on the ground. "Oh, it's just a bunny.", Arron said. So he got up and mounted his axe back and started walking along the bridge and got to the other side but still noticed that the feeling of suspicion was still there so he brought out his axe, yet again, and the blade grew bigger. "Come out. NOW!", Arron then swung the axe around and cut down a tree and he noticed a shadow pouncing through the trees. He started chasing after the shadow that he saw in the trees and he used the axe to climb a tree by sticking it in there and pulling himself up then he got it out and started running through the trees. He was gaining in on him until he disappeared all of a sudden and Arron was still running and at the end of the woods was another trench without a bridge though and he glided a bit almost to the other side but he pulled his axe out and stuck it in the edge of the other side because he was hanging from the edge, almost about the fall in the trench. "Oh crap,this is bad!", Arron said as he was struggling to get up and then the axe loosened on the soil and came off of it then he started falling. As he was a second away in falling, someone grabbed his axe, with Arron holding on to it and he pulled him up. "Thank you si-", Arron looked up and noticed a guy who was a little shorter than him and wearing a long black coat and a hat. "Are you the one who has been following me?", Arron asked. "Yes. Sorry if I startled you.", the suspicious man replied. "Please. Me? Startled? You must have the wrong guy." Arron said, while crossing his arm and smiling. "It seemed like you were, when you flopped back from that bunny.", The guy said while taking his hat and coat off, revealing that he was wearing glasses, a green shirt, and navy blue sweatpants along with some similar shoes. "Pft. Who are you and why the hell were you chasing me anyways?", Arron asked, while scratching his head. "Call me Drexel. And to answer your second question, I was only looking out for you and also had to ask you questions, but only at the right time, you know?" Drexel replied with a grin. "...Not exactly.", Arron said as he was dumbfounded. "Come on Arron, let's walk." Drexel said as he started walking. "Uh. Okay, I guess.", Arron said, also wondering how he knew his name. So the two started walking down a path in the open fields. "I heard that you were a Flallen. One of the most important people in the Highland Region.", Drexel looked at him. "Am I right?". "Yeah! How did you know?", Arron said with a big smile on his face. "I overheard it when you passed through our village. You are Arron Flallen! Plus, it sounds likes you are the only Flallen left.", Drexel said, while looking up to the sky and watching a flock of birds fly. "Yeah. But I'm on a mission to kill those who killed my master and my family. But I found out a while ago that those who killed my master and my family were actually disguised demons! And-and-and I killed one of them! And------". While Arron was jabbering on, Drexel was smiling at him but thought "This guy really looks like he's clueless on where he's going. Also determining by the way he swings that axe around, he is a skilled one. I should help him look for them.". Arron was still going on and on and somehow landed on a subject about food. "Okay, okay. Hey, even though I like to be a lone working sometimes. I think it would be cool if I could join you and help you find those demons." Drexel said. "What! You think you could help me? Because, honestly, I have no idea where I'm suppose to be going." Arron said, with a smug look and his head down. Drexel already knew but he just went with it. "Shocker! Good thing I'm around. Plus, it'll be cool to work with a Flallen.", Drexel said with a thumbs up. "Awesomeee!" Arron said, all hype and stuff. "If I'm correct, I know of some gathering places that they would hang out at. There should be a abandoned fallout shelter around those hills over there." Drexel said as he started pointing to those nearby hills. Arron clenched his axe and started running ahead to those hills, suddenly silent. "Hu- Arron! Hey, wait up!", Drexel shouted as he was catching up to him. They were about to meet some new demons. Who knows what abilities they might have in store for Arron and Drexel now that they have been exposed.
