Something more than reality : The Fire Iris

New friends : part 1

Mia's POV

I slowly walked down on the road untill I reached the gates of the town. There was something written on it but the moss covering it won't let me read it. I just sighted and walked along till I remembered my map. Holy Fuckin' shit!!! The map!! I forgot about it. I quickly walked behind a tree and took out the map. I found my location very quickly. I was definitely closer to the Azarena mountains. But still a good distance away from them. ,, I think I need to cross this town anyway. Hmm. What's this towns name? " I read the small letters. ,,Emíra." They said . This name reminds me of something but what? I shook it off and tried to find that girl from before. I need to cross this town anyway or not? Why shouldn't I go and find out where were he going? She looked mysterious. I walked along the streets till I felt like someone's watching me. I looked back but no one was there. ,, Interesting." I said quietly. I started to walk faster. Soon I came to the town centre. There were a lots of boutiques here.'Maybe if I walk past the shops I can see the reflection of the person.' I thought. I walked past the boutiques and kept my eyes on the windovs. I suddenly felt that felling again. ' That person must be close.' I looked at the glass again and saw Her. It was that girl from before. Why is she following me? I'm the one who's following Her! The town was also empty because of the early time. I fast walked to an dead end. I was about to walk away when the girl suddenly appeared opposite me. I backed and said: ,, Who the hell are you?! And why are you following me!?" I growled at her. She chuckled and put down her hood. It was a girl, about seventeen or eighteen, she had cool dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She was looking at me with a mischievous grin. I looked around quickly. ' If I climb up I may escape.' I was about to leave when I heard loud footsteps. Suddenly that girl grabbed me and pulled me forward to the backside of the alley. I tried to break free but he said: ,, Stop struggling. We'll get caught!" I looked at her and tear my arm from her grip. ,, I can walk myself! And I don't even know who you are." I said with venom. She just nodded but then she suddenly pulled me down behind some boxes and trash. Then I heard footsteps and talking. ,, Those guards are EVERYWHERE." She whispered. I looked at her. When the voices went away she stood up. I quickly grabbed my daggers and attacked her. But she took out a medium sized sword. We fought a bit but then we heard the talking again. I quickly climbed upwad. She did the same. I started to run on the roof. I kept looking behind me but she was following me. I stopped and said: ,, What so you want from me!" She said: ,, I don't want to hurt you. I was just curious. I haven't seen you here before." ,, What?! Here you follow everyone or something?!"I was seriously confused and a bit angry. ,,No! You know seeing complete strangers in this area is quite special. After those guards came every stranger was killed. I was just curious how'd you got here." Her voice was serious and steady. I looked at her and put my daggers back. I was kinda believing her. After what I saw in that village....

Zoe's POV

I was deep in my thoughts when Chris's voice snapped me out. ,, Is something wrong? You were quiet all this time." It was true. I haven't said a single word after we left the clearing.,,No I was just thinking about something..... And. Now where are we going?" I asked. ,, I don't know yet. We need to find something that will lead you to your friend." Then something popped up my mind. ,,Chris. I had a weird dream last night. I saw a symbol carved into a stone.
It looked like a tree in a not simethric circle in another circle." I said. Chris looked at me. ,, Hmm. I think I know a place that had a symbol like that. But it's far away from here." My eyes lit up.,,Really? Then what are we waiting for! Let's go!"

Mia's POV

I'm following this girl now. She told me that his name is Elena. And she lives with his uncle, aunt and older brother after her father died and her other brother had left them. She was leading me through the labyrinth of trees and houses. ,, And how did you even saw me? Or where?" I asked. ,, Well I first saw you when you rescued my cousin Emily. Then I saw you going away so I decided to follow you. But when I came back to Emíra I'd lost your tracks." She said. Soon we arrived to the western side of Emíra. I saw a huge house. More likely a workshop. ,, What's that?" I pointed to the huge house.,, That's my uncles workshop. He's a blacksmith. But in his freetime he makes weapons of every kind. From swords to poison and ect.."I was a bit confused but followed her. When we stepped into the workshop the wave of heat hit me like a stone. After not a minute a man ran out of the backside of the house. ,, Elena! Here you are. Stop disapearing. We were worried." When he saw me he gave a confused look. ,,Who's that?" I looked away. ,, Oh this is...... Umm...Sorry but I forgot to ask your name."I chuckled.,,My name's Mia." I said. ,,Well Mia how'd you get here? I thought that the dark soldiers won't let any stranger here because I'm sure I haven't seen you before." He said. ,,Well I can be pretty sneaky if I want. But can I ask ? Haven't you heard of something named the Fire Iris?"
