Golden Eyes

Oliver's Eye

(This is Kira with an axe)

It was silent

Only the sound of the stormy sky that still had yet to spring rain and the sound of shoes stepping on wet leaves or dirty puddles.

I walked along the small path full of twigs and branches, with Chiryo beside me, holding Oliver close  on her back. Though Chiryo seemed small and fragile, she was the one who took Oliver and led us forward. 

Peru on the other hand trailed behind, seeming to drag her feet, her once strong aura seemed to crack and leave a hollow body behind.

"Hey" I heard Chiryo whisper, leaning in to me. "Do you think I was to hard"? She asked, adjusting Oliver so his head was comfortably against Chiryo's shoulder.

"Nah" I said, looking at Oliver's sleeping face. "She needed some words, even if they weren't very nice"

Chiryo nodded as we came across a rather large tree that lay in our path. I followed my eyes to the stump that once connected itself to the tree that seemed to look as if the storm had ripped it off it's trunk and threw it perfectly, so it covered our only path.

I looked over to Chiryo who eyed the tree. "So, what should we do"? I glanced back to Peru who still seemed empty and thinking, staring at the gray, stormy sky.

"I don't know" I heard Chiryo say, drawing my eyes back to her. "Usually you come up with stuff in these events, right"? 

I glanced at the tree once again. "We could go around" I said, the first common sense thing to do.

"No" Chiryo said, nudging to the dark forest that lay to my right. "This forest is magical. Its a labyrinth. If the arena doesn't like you, it can make twists and turns to make it so you won't know where you are at all".

"So, what your saying is no"?

"Duh"

 I thought again. We could lug everyone over the great tree, then go on. But now I'm thinking of making our way back to the entrance of the arena. We need to get everyone out before they loose there minds like Ju.

"Wait. What about your Red Eye power"? I said, a thought rising in my head.

"Yea, what about it"? Chiryo said, jumping slightly so she held Oliver tightly.

"Well, when I saw your memory-Sorry- I saw that you activated your Gold Eyes to find two rabbits"

"Okay, I don't see a connection. We don't need game, we already have that food in your bag" She motioned to my torn and bloody backpack.

"No, its not about hunting" I answered, slowly lowering myself to the dirt ground. I was just above the ground squatting. "You seemed to read and know what was out of normal eyes vision" I grabbed to dirt off the ground, feeling the wet texture against my fingers. "So could you find out where the arena entrance is with that power"?

Chiryo seemed to understand because her eyes went big and she hastily dashed over to Peru. "Can you hold on to Oliver for a moment" Chiryo asked, in a kinder tone than before.

"Why" Peru said, not even looking Chiryo in the eye. "I don't care about him"

"But he is your partner. You have responsibility" Chiryo seemed to smile, slowly lowering Olivers body onto Peru, who literally threw him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. He looked as if he weighed nothing.
