The Fantasy World Vol 1

Shaded

After awhile I made it out. Aetherria's air felt the same as Earth's. I guess nothing has really changed in these parts of the world. In my surroundings was a forest. Except the leaves on the tree's branches were gray or black and white or which is correct. I went near to a tree and I grabbed one leaf from a branch. The leaf felt like it wasn't a leaf. Ashes flew out of my hand just like a burnt piece of paper. The leaf wasn't there anymore except some  ashes that were left on my hand. Something didn't feel right and something was going on. I started to run into the ash-leaf forest. Every leaf on the trees were all gray and when the wind blew it all turned to ash-like particles. Clearly don't know what it is but you can't blame me. At the end of the forest or the forest's edge there was a camp. I didn't get a glimpse of who or what that camp was but I hid behind a tree. I took a peek of who or what was in that camp . There were two tents like yurts that had an insignia that I don't recognize. But clearly what really struck me was the lighted camp fire on the center. Black fire was ablaze with no firewood on the bottom. Sofia, our fire elementalist, couldn't have done that. Sofia is in her home at the Fire Kingdom with her family. She was going to be a queen but she passed it to her older sister. I had two choices: Run and make it to our base of operations or fight. The chance of me fighting the ones inside that camp was a bit low. I barely even train a bit sometimes I even forget. Even though my choice was to run this was also a time for me to regain my combat skills
