Ajax lives a mundane life.
Then, one day, he meets North.
And, it seems they are starting to fall in love.
The problem is that only Ajax can see North.
A supernatural boy's love story.
An hour later, they made it out of the forest. They ended up in a field heading to the village.
"We have to be on alert." The High General of the Forest clan cautioned Henry. "As we saw last night, the village was barricaded by military forces."
"Oh, yeah," Henry replied casually. "I almost forgot."
They walked pass the field and found themselves on a road at the outskirts of the village.
"Hmmm ..." The child king of Aeolian said as he looked both ways.
"Where do you think we should go?" Oisin asked.
Henry looked sideways again to make sure that there were no people in sight.
"Haizeak nora jo behar gaituen norabiderantz." (Wind blow to the direction where we should be.)
Henry whispered. His eyes glowed and soft breeze blew to the West.
"I guess, we will be heading that way." Henry answered as he walked towards West.
"Henry," Oisin began to say.
"Yeah, I know." He replied. "No using of you know what. But there's no one is around, and we need to get town."
Half an hour of walking by the roadside, a vehicle was approaching. It was a military jeep.
"Halt!" The one of the soldiers said as the vehicle stopped to where they were.
"Let me do the talking." Oisin said in low voice to Henry.
"Identify yourself." Captain Santiago stepped out of the vehicle.
"I am Oisin and this is my cousin, Henry." The High General of the Forest clan began to say. "We are not from here. We are heading to town to find something to eat and work perhaps."
"Well, boys," Captain Santiago replied. "You choose a bad time to do some travelling in this part of the region. The town you are heading to is under quarantine."
"Oh, I see. I guess, my cousin and I better be going in the other direction, then."
