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.
"I am confused." The High General of the Forest clan replied. "Are we done here?"
"Actually, no." Captain Santiago began to say. "Two young men walking miles away from town and all. Looking for work seems a bit suspicious to me."
"Hey, chief. We don't want no trouble."
"Well, first it is Captain Santiago to you. Second, we can give you boys a ride to town so we talk some more."
"Captain Santiago, what will happen if do not?"
"It is best for everyone if you and your cousin come with us."
The High General of the Forest clan looked at Henry and smiled.
"I guess, we are coming with you, then."
"That's what I'm thinking too." Captain Santiago said.
Henry climbed at the back of the jeep with the other soldier while Oisin sat on the passage seat. Captain Santiago, then, took the keys from the other soldier and drove the jeep.
All throughout the ride to town, Oisin and Henry remained silent. They could easily use their powers on Captain Santiago and the other soldier, however, they decided to play along instead.
Finally, the long and awkward ride ended as they stopped at the camp site in the middle of the village's town square. Oisin and Henry were escorted to one of the tents where they waited for Captain Santiago.
Two hours later, still, Oisin and Henry waited for Captain Santiago. They could not do anything as the entrance was guarded by soldiers. One of the soldiers entered the tent carrying a food tray.
"Captain Santiago sends his apologizes but he has other matters to attend to at the moment. He asks for your patience. So, for the meantime, eat up boys, you'll need it."
The soldier left the tray on the table and left.
Oisin looked at Henry.
"You heard the man, let's eat up, then."
