In the Eye of the Virgo

Chapter 49

     'My mind was a mess. I was a mess. My life is a mess. None of my strategies work, how can I be the representative of The Virgo when I can't even think up a decent plan? Maybe I'm not cut out for this. I can't do this. I'll just be a disappointment. I'm too weak.'

  I sulked to myself as I walked down the narrow streets that turned towards what was once a town, but now deserted and barren. I left the forest a few hours ago and have been walking along the street for a little over three hours now.

   My heart felt heavy as I tried not to dwell on what chaos I had created back at my home, what destruction I had done to everyone I hold dear. Thoughts of anger, sadness, and hopelessness filled my mind. Causing me to sign and look up at the sky above me. The night was calm and peaceful. Every once in a while a breeze blew past me, picking up my messy hair with it.

    I must smell like a porter potty considering that I haven't taken a shower in days. Ignoring my...unique scent at the moment, I watched as the street I was taking turned its way into another set of trees. 'Great. More woods to walk through.' I gave out a huff of air and trudged through the tress, hoping that I won't come across one of Gregory's goons.

    'Huh, maybe I can use one of his goons against him. I could use one of my flora spells and use my special herb tonic to manipulate one of his men, send him back to Gregory, get information and take him down for good.' I thought to myself as I walked past a set of sycamore trees and stopped to think once more. 'This may actually work, now I just need to go back to his hide out and get one of his men.' I look up towards one of the many trees around me and begin to climb to its lowest branch. After making sure I was securing with some vines tied around the branch and my waist, I began to rift off to sleep, content with the plan I formed just minutes ago.
