The Siren Boy A Borderlands Story

Chapter 3: A Cold Wasteland

Odin's Pov

I have no clue where I am on Pandora. I don't have a map, echo communicator, and only a decent pistol I stole from the Hyperion people. One good thing was that we didn't need food. It was cold in the snowy wastelands. I'm surprised I made it this far in the first place. I hear something in the distance. It was a growl. I got curious. I continue to walk in a random direction. I see a big figure in the distance. "What are you my friend?" I whisper to my self. It jumped closer. I now see what it was. A bullymong. Our eyes lock onto each other. It stood there looking at me. I knew it would kill me if I didn't make the first move. I slowly reach for my pistol. I run towards the beast and shoot it. It does a leap over me and I turn. It throws a big chunk of snow and I dodged. I continue to shoot. It swings it's arm and it sends me flying. My back hits the snow and I jump to my feet. I had to outsmart the thing. There was a mountain behind me. I could use that to my advantage. "Come at me my furry friend." I taunted. It charged towards me. I had to time this perfectly. As it got close, I hurdled over it. It slammed into the wall and I shot it's head. It died and fell to the ground. I try to take the fur to make something. I ended up making a small blanket. I start to continue my way to any direction in the everlasting cold. I start to slow down. I stumble around trying to keep my balance. I try to keep my consciousness, but to no avail. I collapse and everything goes black. I can see me with nine other people. The sky was red and orange. Lava was everywhere. Fire was raining everywhere. Me and two others raise our hands to the sky. That was all I saw.

Some Bandit's Pov

It's so f**king cold. I just need to do what the boss told me to do and then I can get out of this damn snow. As I'm walking in this goddamn snow, I see this body laying face first on the ground. I walk up to it. It was a young boy, about 18 or so. I couldn't tell if he was alive or not. I get closer to him. He was breathing. I didn't know if I should kill him or not. Ah what the hell, I can loot his body afterward.

Odin's Pov

I wake up to see someone aim a gun at my head. I quickly get up. The man backs up a little. "G-give me your money." He stammered. "I've got nothin'. Now go back to where ever you came from and I wont shoot." I demanded. He was shaking on the spot. I put my hand out. "Your gun please." I growled. He quickly placed it and something else in my hand and ran. This was the third time I was almost killed! I look at what else he gave me and it was an echo communicator. I set it up and I had a map of where ever I was. As I do so I remember I have a key. I take it out of the bag and I look at it. It was a vault key. I realize what I just did back at the Hyperion place and I now believe I'm f**ked. I place it back in and look at the map. "Three Horns-Divide?" I ask myself. I had to set up camp, sundown was in a few hours. I walk some more to find any abandoned camp. I found a shack that had a Ham Radio. I place the key on the table. "I have no use for you, but the vault hunters may." I say to the inanimate key. This is what it came to... talking to a key. I try to turn on the radio. It worked and I had it to get all echo communicators in the area. "To any vault hunters that may be out there, I have what you need. Come to these coordinates and you will get it. I have no use for it, but you do." I said. Now I play the waiting game. I lay on the floor and put on the blanket I made. I go to bed.
