Ch 3: "Bad"

"But- But this is the path to the City-"

"Yeah, shut up. My cloak is all bloody, I want a new one."

"You're super powerful. Couldn't you just summon one..?"

"Sometimes walking is a nice thing to do." And, truthfully, I'm hoping that my scary forest will scare him away. Then I won't have to deal with... him.

"Oh. Yeah, I guess so," Brice replies quietly, ducking under a sharp branch. Dang, he survived the first test. What a shame. "Um, how long of a walk is it?"

I smirk. "I can speed us up."

"Um-"

"Celeritas!" I shout, and our steps speed up a large bit.

"W-Wait, I- That's too fast, I can't keep up-" Brice's face smacks against several branches and shrubs and even a squirrel that couldn't move out of the way in time, and I try (and fail) not to laugh out loud. "I- DS, come on!".

I snort. "Did you just call me 'DS?'" I ask, effortlessly dodging yet another branch.

Brice splutters as he runs straight into said branch. "I- Well, you just told me to call you 'the Dark Sorcerer,' so, I mean, that's just really long, so-"

"I think that's an insult on my title," I scoff, not really offended but all for acting like I am. Maybe this will get rid of him.

"Oh, sorry! But what's your real name?"

"Not telling."

"Aw, come on!"

"Don't make me punch you again."

Brice immediately shuts up, and I have to laugh a little as I jump over a tree trunk. Brice, impressively, manages the jump quite well, and I give him an appraising glance before zipping around a murky pond. He just barely manages to dodge it when it comes up, and I raise my eyebrows in surprise.

Our next obstacle is another fallen tree trunk, this time too high up to jump over. I limbo-skid under it before glancing back to see Brice's progress. Unfortunately, I'm so distracted by his just-barely-a-success that I end up tripping over a third tree trunk and then flying into another, thankfully less murky, pond. I splutter as I sink down in the still-not-so-clean water, and then something splashes nearby and I launch myself out of the water to find Brice reenacting my embarrassing spluttering from earlier.

I laugh as I let myself fall back into the water next to him. "And I was doing so well," Brice pouts, wiping water out of his eyes, and I grin.

"My apologies. You were doing quite well."

Brice, having finished wiping his eyes, sees my smile and smiles as well, and I internally curse myself as I force my smile to drop. Brice looks up to my eyes in confusion, and I shake my head and shrug.

"You can call me Seto," I say after a short, comfortable silence. After a moment, I glance over at Brice to see him staring at me in awe, and I roll my eyes.
