Sparks of Fire

Chapter 4 Elizabeth

The next morning, me, Silver and Zeriel decide to go hunting for some meat and it will take all day. We make our way down to the ravine.

"Zeriel, can you make your way that and make your way around and us near the lake?"

"Of course. I will see you two soon." Zeriel says as he takes off.

I put my cloak on and head towards the ravine with Silver. As we are hunting, I spot a small fox. I draw my bow, aim, take a deep breath, fire and shoot it. I go and collect what I have killed. Once I retrieve it, Silver starts growling.

"What's wrong?" I ask

"I smell something. But I can't see anything."

"I will climb the tree to get a better look."

"See anything?"

"No. Oh wait, ya. It's an eagle."

"Okay. Hurry up and get back down."

"Let's go check it out." I say, as I climb down the tree.

"Alright fine, but you will need to be very quiet."

We were silently creeping through the wood when all of the sudden Silver takes off and tells me to stay back. Of course I didn't listen. But Silver is just too fast for me to keep up. When I was almost caught up with Silver I see a man in front of him. He has short white hair that is spiked in the front. He has very pale skin and some worn down armor. He has a shield and a sword with him.

So I decided that I would creep up behind him. Aiming my bow, ready to shoot him. But he turns around and notices me. I didn't see it before but he has a large scar that runs straight through his left eye.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my woods?" I say intimidated.

"Get out of my way, i have places to be." he says while shoving me to the side.

"Where? Because there is nothing for you here."

"It is none of your concern."

Then all of the sudden a large shadow crosses over us and all you can feel is large gusts of wind.

Zeriel. Perfect timing.
