Feathers

The Motherland

                                                      Wind's POV

I swirled through the trees, staying alert for anything or anyone who dared to hurt my little elements as I twisted past a collection of densely clumped trees, while knocking aside a random pile of dead leaves that had collected on the ground. 

When I started to grow restless, I turned towards the starry sky and shot upwards, deciding that a little dance among the little nebulas won't hurt as I swirled around with a few leaves tagging along, when my little dance ended up lasting for hours on end until I noticed that the sun started to rise.

I swiftly went back down to the clearing to check on the 2 humans I may or may have not just thought as them as if they were my own, and hid in the trees, waiting for the slightly older one to arise from his little make-shift hut so that I could play with him a little.

When he did, he started stretching and letting his guard down, and allowed me to pick him up and fly him around the forest as he started producing a high-pitched noise that almost made me drop him.

Ah yes. 

The perfect way to wake up. 

Your friend screaming like a banshee. 

I sighed before slowly getting up into a sitting position while trying to ward away the incoming tiredness, before moving aside the 2 big leaves that acted as a doorway to my make-shift tent, to see Gupil shrieking while getting carried around by the lively wind, when a small portion of the wind split off from its full body came over to me, picking me up and flying me over to Gupil, which seemed like he was having the time of his life.

Well, not really, actually.

His face looked as pale as a ghost, when suddenly, a green color dawned on his expression, and I immediately looked away, not wanting to see anything disgusting today. I turned to where I thought the wind's "front part"(face) was as I rubbed my eyes.

"Hey, um, Wind? Do you think you can put us down now? I'm pretty refreshed now." I asked, and the Wind seemed to have understood as it glided us back down to the ground, letting us off before circling around us a few times, and then shooting off in a random direction as a bunch of leaves seemingly outlined its body.

"Well, glad that's over. So, where we setting off to?" Gupil asked me, and I thought for a moment before looking back at him.

"How about the closest town? We could get some supplies there that'll hopefully last us a few weeks, and then set off in a different direction that's not towards the ocean to go explore the world." I suggested, and Gupil gave me a nervous look before looking at the ground.

"Well, you see, I've never been near any other human than you, or been to any type of human civilization. If I did, then I can't seem to remember. All I remember are the names MN, Aaron, Conroe, Christopherson, and Eve. That's all." Gupil responded, and I gave him a shocked look before I sighed at the ground, and turned back to him with a confident expression.

"Well, look. We'll be fine, as long as we don't do something to gain attention. All we need to do is go into the town, buy some stuff at a random store, and go back out, that's all. Though, you might want to cover up those weird feathers on your head and stuff, so that you aren't looking like someone suspicious. How did you get them anyways?" I asked my friend, and he thought for a moment, about to answer when the living Wind came back with a bunch of things that we needed, such as packaged food, water in canteen bottles, 2 bags that we could carry our stuff in, camping supplies, etc.
