Travis looked at me starring up at the sky and did the same. After a small period of absolute tranquility Travis ruined it by asking,"How was your village raided?"I pretend he didn't ask and carry on looking at the sky. He repeats twice. "The exact same woman raided my village.Except we had warnings. Majority of our village had nightmares from two nights before she came,some including me had them during the day. We got a  wizard psychic to come and inspect our village and she said something with great danger is coming and ran.That night we were attacked my mom gave me a backpack with a few survival essentials including a map and a letter to open on my eighteenth birthday."
"Have you opened it?" 
"No."
"When did..."The stream suddenly spreads up and I fly up leaving Travis behind. The river is as violent as the lavamite males during mating season. Especially with all the bends. Travis grips on the non-rock extremely tight. The river still manages to make him slide a bit. Near the end of the  vigorous section Travis falls off into the river.
