Silent rebels

22. Kilimanjaro

Shawn looks at me and then he turned around dragging me with him to the back. Wondering what was that all about, I made a mental note to ask him later. We stopped at the first section it was Tories and Shadows. It was bigger than the rest because they took two and made it one. There was a sofa, two office chairs with tables, something that looked like a surround sound, computers, laptops and a few books.

The next section was Avatars. It resembled the first one but against the wall on his left was a lot of photo's of him traveling,"that's impressive " I said. Looking through them,
"Thanks" he said.

He stood up and took one of the photos of the top of the wall," This was the first time I packed my things and decided to travel I was 16, technically I was 15 and 9 months but who cares right. Turned out my parent cared. After I came back I was grounded for six months in that six months I dreamt of my tripped and the next one.

He handed me the photo. It was him in front of a giraffe with her baby,"I went to South Africa, it took my hole life's savings to get there but it was amazing. That was in a game park, taken just before we shot the giraffe for dinner. "

My eyes shot up,with a discussed look of my face, "what?" I mumbled

"Be nice" Shawn warned from but behind me.

Avatar threw his hand up in the air," just kidding, but an away in that six months I was grounded it was holiday and I asked my parents if I could get a job since I was grounded and I got one at a internet cafe. I was so bored during the day I started playing games online and then I hacked them. Turned out everything happens for a reason. I trained for about 6 months. My parents had forgiven me and ungrounded me. I had some money saved up and went on my next trip. At the time I was sixteen ."

"How old are you?" I asked

"24 and still traveling." He said proud.

"But how did you get the name Avatar"

He putted the picture back on to the wall and took another one from the middle," That was me at the foot of Kilimanjaro." He pointed to the middle one in the group photo.

"That year I almost died on that mountain, it was five years back when I was nineteen. Shadow was twenty. We climbed it together. On the way up, there was an evaluation. That splitted up the group. Me and Shadow managed to stay together. I developed froze bite in my toes,feet and legs. Shadow found the way of the mountain, carrying me all the way in freezing weather he told me I looked like an Avatar because my hole body turned blue. I didn't know what the hell that was so he told me the story.
A year later I was recovered and we went back and climbed out that mountain because somebody once told me at the foot of the biggest mountain of my life. Them who is controlled by fear, dies at the feet of comfort"

I turned around and looked at Neill. He was sitting as his desk looking at Avatar,"the hardest mountain of my life but the best journey ever "Avatar said.
