Crossing fates

Natural attraction

-Asriel point of view-

Ahri and I were walking through the plains, even if she was saying some... disconcerting things a while ago, both of us were really quiet during the most part of the way.

On my side, I was still thinking about a lot of stuff, I was wondering myself what was my place on this world, my reason to be, I know that I just have been conscious for a little more than a week, but until now I have grown much more than I could ever imagine. Just two days ago I fought against some ancient creatures that were considerate gods in the past, and during the fight I was practically forced to grown up, I'm obviously more mature than before, I basically lost my innocence there, I learned that the world is not all sugar and smiles. Even on the actual world, were the usual situation is mostly peaceful and calm, I know there is people and creatures out there with ill intentions, people that suffer.

I learned that things are not just black and white, there is a hole grey scale on the middle, there is no such thing as someone completely good, and no one is completely bad.

As I was still thinking about all this stuff, Ahri finally decided to talk to me.

Ahri: Tell me Assy, why are you constantly losing yourself in thoughts lately?

I gave her an emotionless look, I'm still trying to avoid the constant situation were she instantly know what is wrong with me.

Ahri: Could it be that you are wondering why are you here in this world with us?

Ok, it's official, I give up, this woman is officially impossible to trick, I can't do it.

*Sigh*

I wish I could talk, I would like to say so much things to her and the others. But right now, I need to concentrate in the actual conversation, I nodded to her, I really wonder why I'm here with them, if there is a reason for them to be on my side, a reason for me to be on their side.

Ahri: Let's talk about this later, what do you say if we go faster to that place where you found the mushrooms, we'll talk there.

I don't understand why she decided to stop, but I guess it is to finish the task as fast as possible, we'll talk as much as we want when we finish the job.

Since Ahri was actually tired from our little race, I carried her to the place we were looking for, the canyon where I fought alongside team RWBY against those colossi, while we walked through the entrance like the last time I saw a little opening on the wall. The first time I simply ignored it, I was able to sense it since I was using the sonar, so I felt the sound entering the little cave, as well as the mushrooms we were looking for, the sonar ability was really convenient, the sense of the wind flow too, thinking it well, those two combined would practically made me completely aware of my surroundings, no blind spot. I'm way to OP thinking it well.

However, we entered the cave, since it was obviously dark Ahri made a little flame on her hands creating a light source; we spotted the mushrooms immediately after.

Ahri: There they are, those really are the same mushrooms, I was kind of scared, it would have been embarrassing to get here and take the wrong mushrooms.

There was that possibility, I guess I'm lucky then. We recollected around 9 mushrooms, that would be enough to keep us alive for the next weeks, but I'm surely going to look out for a job or a way to gain money, I won't be this lucky again.

Ahri: Hey, since there are no more mushrooms around, I think we should go to sleep.

I saw her, did she forget the bet we made on the race? Better for me, I was scared of what could she do to me. But my hopes where crushed instantly.
