Sky Returns {Completed}

New Mine City

Ty groaned as he dragged himself up the hill, Sky a few paces ahead of him. "Sky, please, can we stop for at least a few seconds?!" He whined as Sky got to the top of the hill before him. Sky rolled his eyes.

"We've been walking for only two hours, suck it up." He kept walking, having not even broken a sweat yet. Ty glared at him in disbelief.

"How are you not tired?! Or at least sweating?!" He snapped, a bit embarrassed that he had been winded so easily.

"I have trekked through deserts, snowstorms, and for hours and hours on end. Three hours in this plain with this nice, cool breeze is nothing compared to what I have done." Sky said calmly, before he disappeared down the hill suddenly. There was a scream, and Ty's eyes widened before he raced to the top of the hill quickly. He saw that it was actually a cliff, his heart skipping a beat as he began to fear the worst.

He leaned over the edge, shouting, "Sky!" Then he stopped, his face deadpanning after a few moments. Sky sat in a small puddle of water a few inches below the edge of the 'cliff,' flailing around and screaming as if he were being tortured. Ty walked down the slope on the side, coming up to the puddle as he crossed his arms. He cleared his throat loudly, making Sky freeze as he looked around wildly. He blinked as he realized his surroundings, slowly sitting up. He looked up at Ty, and his cheeks went scarlet as Ty smirked at him.

"What, you scared of water or something?" Sky huffed and stood up, grabbing Ty by the collar of his shirt.

"You tell anyone about this and I will kill you." Sky growled, his golden eyes gleaming brightly in the sunlight as Ty snickered.

"Oh don't worry, your secret is safe with me." He said sarcastically.

~An hour later~

"I recognize that huge oak! We're close!" Ty said, grinning in relief as he and Sky walked through a dense forest. Sky just grunted, still mad over what had happened an hour earlier. Ty rolled his eyes, and as they walked the trees slowly began getting less denser. Ty sighed in relief, knowing that they were indeed close. He couldn't wait to be in a city full of other people, he hated being alone with this 'old man' that as technically 285 years old that had popped from a coffin. He was still mad over that fat insult from earlier too. Half an hour passed before they suddenly broke from the forest, a large hill in front of them. Ty groaned, trudging up the hill after Sky as he muttered something about how he needed to get a jetpack or something. Sky stopped in surprise on the top of the hill, and Ty stopped beside him a few moments later. He grinned brightly.

New Mine City stood a couple of meters beyond from the hill they stood on. Many towers of all sizes reached for the sky where the sun was setting, sending red, orange, and pink stripes across the sky. You could distantly hear cars and people yelling, and as the minutes ticked by and darkness began to settle over the city, lights in towers turned on, brightening the entire city and the area around it. Ty sighed happily. New Mine City had been his home for his entire life. He knew all the alleys like the back of his hand, you could ask him about any landmark and any street and he could tell you where it was and how you could get there. He sighed softly as he realized that for a long time, most likely his whole life, he would never be able to walk around New Mine City without worrying about a BladeDancer being around every corner...

He shook his head and looked at Sky, who was staring at the large and grand city with an unreadable expression. "Oh my god..." Sky finally muttered. Ty snickered, obviously enjoying this.

"Isn't it great old man?"

"Everything has gone to shit..."
