Chronicles of Terra

The Chronicles Begin

The day was cool and sunny. Birds were chirping, goldfish were swimming, and a party of three were hiking through the woods. In the lead was Victoria Jaeger, with map in hand. Right behind her was Jackson Stryker, holding a crude musket. And in the back was Venessa Delenour, toying with a small bottle in her hand. The sounds of the party moving through the woods filled the air around them, causing birds to flee and bunnies to run to their burrows.

"Are we there yet Victoria? We've been walking for hours." Jackson complained as they continued moving forwards. Victoria grumbled angrily as she read the map. First she felt like she had gotten lost, which is something she never did, and now Jackson wouldn't stop complaining. She breathed in heavily and sighed.

"Like I said two hours ago, we're almost there. We just have to find the Frozen Plains." Victoria said, hoping to distract Jackson and shut him up. As Jackson became quiet, Victoria smiled and looked at the map. Surely they were going the right way. Victoria shouldn't have messed up. All she was looking for was something exciting, how could one get lost looking for that? 

"Do you mean the tundra?" Venessa asked, looking up from her bottle. Victoria just groaned as Venessa spoke up. Nothing was going right for her. First she had her food stolen by some thugs, she felt like she got her friends lost, Jackson wouldn't shut up, and now Venessa just blew it all when she asked that question. Victoria then stopped, turned around and threw the map on the ground.

"Well I don't fucking know! If you're so smart, why don't you lead the fucking group. Sorry I couldn't just magically whisk up a flying horse to take us to Super Amazing Fun Land! Any other thing you guys want to bitch about! Might as well voice your concerns!" Victoria yelled, as she paced back and forth angrily. Victoria was sick of Jackson's complaining and Venessa, well, being Venessa. Generally only piping up when she has to correct something.

"Well, I just had to make sure that you knew what you talking about." Venessa explained. Victoria then tensed up in anger, the hatred emanating from her.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! That's why you piped up?! To correct me?! You know what, I'm done. You guys want to know why we've been walking forever, it's because we're lost! I got us lost. I thought if we head this way we could find something cool, but no, I got us lost. I'm never supposed to get lost." Victoria said, tears welling up in her eyes. She then adopted a fetal position and started sobbing. Venessa just looked at Victoria with a confused look, and Jackson just scoffed and muttered something under his breath. As this was going on, a man with gray shirt, blue jeans, and black boots named Zach appeared out of the thickets.

"Hey, do any of you know how to build a house in a tundra? I kind of need one." Zach said peeking through the bushes. When Zach said that, Victoria suddenly sprung up and looked at Zach.

"You mean there's a tundra nearby?" Victoria asked walking towards Zach. Zach nodded and beckoned Victoria closer. As Victoria neared Zach, Zach pushed the bushes away and showed Victoria that they were literally 10 steps away from a large tundra.

"Guys, we made it. Let's go have some adventures!" Victoria announced as Venessa and Jackson neared her, all staring at where they were going to set up home.
