Wild Legends: Rise of a New Force

Correct me if I'm wrong but...

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

The date today in my country is Febuary 14, if I assumed correctly to be the "Day of Hearts."

I don't have any special chapter for this occassion but accept this next chapter instead.

P.S: It might be confusing but I tried my best.

Enjoy!

   He didn’t know how long he was out, all the aching and numbness seems to have gone away. He felt a lot better than before, but he still feel tired. Still, he opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings.

   It seems some kind of den but the walls aren’t stones or bark like the Tree of life and are bright orange, and there are some strange things around the place yet all so familiar to him at the back of his mind. He looked up and saw a small fire encased inside a glass encasement hanging in the ceiling, which explains how he can see and nervously thought if he should be worried about it. He looked at what he’s laying on and notice the softness and strangely the conformability it gives.

   He then observed everything around him once more and saw a shadow behind what seems to be the entrance. A white hand then gripped one side and drawn it widely, revealing a being that Kion never thought of seeing again. A human boy.

   As soon as he entered, both him and the new incomer froze as they stared at each other’s eyes.

   Kion didn’t know but for some reason, he looked…. Familiar.

   It was night time and dozens of tents were placed at not far from a giant, unharmed tree while a few were set close to it. Nathan stood outside the cold night wearing a tucked-in, long sleeved, buttoned maroon shirt under a sleeveless, white open vest that has an orange borders at the collar down across the button section until the end point, beige cream pants with a black belt and tucked as well in his brown boots. He breathe in the cold air as he exhaled worryingly and sadly with his hands in the pants’ pockets as he recalled what happened that morning.

   ‘First the strange beam at the horizon then the wrecked grounds and finally…' he let out a cold wind out of his mouth and looked up at the moon. '… him.'

   He then turned his attention to the giant tree that is close to where they set camp, its pretty ironic that it is still in one peace from all the devastating mess around it. He looked at the tree a while longer before retreating to his tent where he has been the one treating his friend inside after being unconscious all sunny day till the shining night, his fiancé told him that she will be treating the other one but he found it strange that she wanted to do it in the giant tree.

   When he entered the tent, he froze in place when he saw him awake on the bed. It began to feel unsettling for the two of them as they continued to silently stare at each other, didn’t dare to say a word as they don’t know what to-

   “Hey Nate-”

   Out of instincts, Nathan turned around and delivered a high kick at the face of the incomer behind him before covering his mouth in shock when he saw who it was. Kion wince when the attack hit the stranger hard, he felt that it will hurt a lot.

   The one they are now looking at is a person who seems to be a year older than Nathan wearing a black motor biker’s outfit with metal gauntlets and boots and a grey bandana tied in his forehead.
