Harbinger's Journey: The Son of Death's Adventures

Chapter 11: Overdrive

After we left that cave, we decided to take a break outside it's walls. "Have you noticed that throughout this entire journey, this is only the second break we've taken? The rest of the time has just been fighting and moving and all that crap." Azric was exhausted, and so were the rest of us. "Yeah, that's true. Anyways, I've had a question for you two." I've been curious about this with Azric and Haakan. "You both have those two blades. Don't they do anything? Harvester gives me power, don't your blades do the same for you?" It's a question worth asking. "Yeah. But it's rare we use it. You can consider it an 'Overdrive' kind of thing, because it gives us a lot more power but we can't let it last long." Azric is the kind to go into detail. 

"So why didn't you use it in the cave?" This "Overdrive" thing seemed like it could've been useful. "It's like I said. We can't let it last long and we can't abuse it." The answer Azric gave didn't give me much clarity. Of course, being the lax one in the group, Haakan is already snoozing off. "Well...given it's late and this is a chance to recharge, we'd best do the same." I yawned and decided to get some shuteye too. Azric did the same.

It was a quiet night, thankfully. We didn't get a lot of those, as you've probably guessed. The area around us was somewhat serene and somewhat dead. The parts that were alive had lush, beautiful plant life. The parts that were dead were grey, black and eerie; not something a lot of people like to see.

As I said before, there was a lot of plant life around us...given that fact, there was also plenty of wildlife too: animals, insects, all of that; that's why sleeping was a struggle. However, we managed until morning, and had enough rest to move forward. (Not a lot of action yet, huh? Well, just wait until the next chapter. You'll get it, trust me.)
