I realized my stupidity about five hours after I started walking in the mountains. It was getting dark and I had walked into the wilderness of an unknown world without any of the necessities. No food, not a clue about any of the freaky animals and fruits in this forest, and no map. I might be pretty close to death if I weren't able to make my own water and warmth.541Please respect copyright.PENANAgKVa8Uvq4O
541Please respect copyright.PENANAzh1Cs2cDkT
I decided to take it out on a poor tree nearby. I punched and kicked it continually. I think I heard something in the distance but I didn't really care. That is, until my new punching bag became another persons face. Some idiot jumped in the way of the poor tree and took the hit for it.541Please respect copyright.PENANAwpdsiGf3ck
541Please respect copyright.PENANAZwGB0Gx0yC
Unfortunately this someone was really weak and passed out at the first hit. I dragged the person around with me, on my back until I found a cave. I made a fire in my hand and made it float towards the roof of the cave to give me more light.541Please respect copyright.PENANAjx9iBDuC9D
541Please respect copyright.PENANAUeTVB8ee43
I examined the persons face. He had light brown, short hair. He was wearing just a plain shirt and jeans. He had a backpack strapped to his back and I decided to take a look inside to see if I could find some food or something. I didn't.541Please respect copyright.PENANAHaJA77fir6
541Please respect copyright.PENANApaqwT9ul6t
"I guess I should make sure he's alright," I told myself. I looked at his face and saw that he had a bloody nose. Since it was mostly my fault, I decided to help him out. I made a small ball of water in my hand and pulled it into a line shape. I swirled the water below his nose and to where it had dripped below his mouth. I wish I could freeze it. That would make a good ice pack.541Please respect copyright.PENANAz6nCt94rHA
541Please respect copyright.PENANAqSmZnmMAgj
"Maybe I can," I said to myself. Okay. I'm starting to creep myself out with all this talking to myself.541Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5dqxTGgJZ
541Please respect copyright.PENANAdtEbJ3yn5j
I concentrated on the small orb of water and realized it was full of blood. I quickly dissolved the water into the air and watched the blood fall to the ground. I created a new one and started to focus on that one. I concentrated on it. I then imagined the small orb freezing in my mind. I got close but only managed to make the water colder.541Please respect copyright.PENANAzkhXY2CYpa
541Please respect copyright.PENANATIJf9pwSsA
The light in the room started to get weaker and weaker. I looked up and realized that the fire had shrunk to about the size of a quarter because I wasn't focusing on it anymore. I diminished the light and went outside to see if I could find any sticks or twigs to hold onto the fire for me.541Please respect copyright.PENANAOzwpzWfEmx
541Please respect copyright.PENANAIpIAUG3JXa
I found a good pile of them and brought them back to the cave. I made a small pile and kindled another fire. This time I set it down on the small pile. The sticks started to burn.541Please respect copyright.PENANATNgEOq07Si
541Please respect copyright.PENANA0U8gsY1rG0
"I wonder if my fire can burn people?" I asked myself. Again? Talking to myself? Creepy. Back to my question. It probably could because it was fire. I decided to test my theory.541Please respect copyright.PENANA5a6gQ9XPMe
541Please respect copyright.PENANAcXB7hRjJsS
I lit a small fire on the tip of my finger. I slowly moved it to the boy's wrist. When I got close, I stopped to see if he noticed any heat. When he didn't move, I pressed the small fire to his wrist.541Please respect copyright.PENANAdl5K0XVzyz
541Please respect copyright.PENANA0zqgFdAZEN
"Ahhhhhhh!" He yelled now completely awake. He looked over at me and then down at his wrist. He yelled again, this time grabbing my wrist and pushing me away. "Are you insane!? What are you doing!?"541Please respect copyright.PENANAyY8whVOrCn
541Please respect copyright.PENANASYWnh4xb2I
"Testing to see if you got burned," I said.541Please respect copyright.PENANAkK8pUPy5A3
541Please respect copyright.PENANAHwA0kTSfXE
"Why!?"541Please respect copyright.PENANA8YukDDdWFn
541Please respect copyright.PENANA8B49A20akG
"...just curious."541Please respect copyright.PENANAs716wzpPFe
541Please respect copyright.PENANA7eojMpFgBh
He gave me a look like I was a complete idiot and I was rather offended. He looked to his right and noticed the small fire. His confused expression suddenly turned to one of fear.541Please respect copyright.PENANA7Te7kTZw7Y
541Please respect copyright.PENANAvYIAihTuk1
"Stop it!" He yelled launching himself on the fire. "Don't burn the sticks!" He landed on the fire with a thud and started to yell tears coming to his eyes.541Please respect copyright.PENANAkLCsP5OTfe
541Please respect copyright.PENANA4P6GoLm4AR
"What are you doing!?" I yelled putting my hands on his ankles to drag him off the fire.541Please respect copyright.PENANAG2JhdxLoNo
541Please respect copyright.PENANAWpROWxbYoD
The yelling stopped but the crying didn't.541Please respect copyright.PENANAXsYyB6cf9q
541Please respect copyright.PENANAgoF8B2I2g1
"What happened?" He asked.541Please respect copyright.PENANAQi2nAIfz2d
541Please respect copyright.PENANAq37lMnZN7d
Maybe the fire didn't burn people, but only when I was touching him. I took my hands off his ankles and the yelling started again. I quickly put my hands back on his ankle and he stopped again. I pulled him away from it making sure not to let go.541Please respect copyright.PENANAbOvVqE7F9H
541Please respect copyright.PENANA3kDzD00a04
"Put the fire out!" He yelled struggling against my grip. This guy was really weak I was holding onto his ankle with one hand and he couldn't manage to break free. Pathetic.541Please respect copyright.PENANA5mmFHbw8en
541Please respect copyright.PENANAtewSG8YNtv
"Why?"541Please respect copyright.PENANAgU0Dvj52jA
541Please respect copyright.PENANA7125RLAAjN
"Because you're hurting the sticks!?"541Please respect copyright.PENANATiwhdqFVU0
541Please respect copyright.PENANAuIWK9UkoKV
"I'm hurting... the sticks?" Great. This guy wasn't only weak, he was also insane.541Please respect copyright.PENANApt35S8wfIZ
541Please respect copyright.PENANAl7GpdidiqC
"Yes! Now please put it out!" He begged. He looked back at me with those puppy dog eyes that you can only get from puppies and cute kids.541Please respect copyright.PENANAHnDgHjpwLg
541Please respect copyright.PENANAOF1fLxzujj
I couldn't resist. I put the fire out and was rewarded with a pat on the head. Who does this guy think he is?541Please respect copyright.PENANAgq76GJvQej
541Please respect copyright.PENANAWrWCxYhCPV
I looked down at his chest and noticed a huge burn. I noticed that my hand was still on his ankle and let go. Tears immediately came back into his eyes and he started to cling to me. This guy was like a little kid! He buried his head on my shoulder. I could tell that the pain immediately went away but he didn't want to let go. Probably because he didn't want to feel the pain again.541Please respect copyright.PENANAxiqhmggsZh
541Please respect copyright.PENANAPMxtIQXzlV
I thought of the best way to help heal a burn. Aloe Vera would probably help but who knew if I would hind that on this huge planet. I kept thinking.541Please respect copyright.PENANAqqV6fbBF2W
541Please respect copyright.PENANAUCsbZ7MIO4
"Water!" I exclaimed making the boy jump. "Water will help the burn."541Please respect copyright.PENANA5fUdZZBGE7
541Please respect copyright.PENANAWUGdwkaRUR
"Okay," he said, "but where are you going to find water on this huge mountain?"541Please respect copyright.PENANALIDwM3p2NA
541Please respect copyright.PENANAV62SGCDb0H
"Just watch." I detached him from me and his eyes filled with tears again. He clung to me...again. I tried to detach him again this time making sure to keep one hand on his shoulder. I made a small ball of water in my other hand.541Please respect copyright.PENANAFOABun8tmw
541Please respect copyright.PENANAiZiabDLV2c
I looked back at the boy and he was giving me one of those looks you get from little kids like you're the most amazing person ever. The look you get when you do something sorta cool in front of a little kid that they can t do. But his look was even more admiring than that. I didn't know what to do so I just decided to get to it.541Please respect copyright.PENANAZ44GMgc6GP
541Please respect copyright.PENANALbiosuRaxP
"Can you take off your shirt?" I asked. He snapped out of his daze and suddenly became really shy.541Please respect copyright.PENANA0tXvW20gvS
541Please respect copyright.PENANAerFst49diT
"But if you take off my shirt then you'll see..." I didn't know what to make of this guy.541Please respect copyright.PENANA8I1dTbhwjy
541Please respect copyright.PENANATFXpvx6JZe
"Take it off before I burn it off!"541Please respect copyright.PENANAglF0uZLy6D
541Please respect copyright.PENANAYlkCHYJOc4
He jumped and decided it was best not to disobey me. He pulled his shirt off making sure not to let go of my wrist. I noticed that his chest was covered in scars. I would probably have to get use to that in this world. Lots of people would probably have scars here if this planet if this planet was built off fear. But then there were people like Obi who's power had nothing to do with being injured.541Please respect copyright.PENANAHunXilIgoY
541Please respect copyright.PENANA9CzTPneK69
"Um..?" The boy said looking at me with a rosy shade of red set on his face.541Please respect copyright.PENANA4c9awai2c6
541Please respect copyright.PENANA7hR7vJR1qM
"Right," I said. I started swirling the water over the burn. It would normally hurt but I guess it didn't because my hand was still on his shoulder. I started to squint. It was really hard to see in the dark.541Please respect copyright.PENANAfGuSlmWHLi
541Please respect copyright.PENANAU58Wro3BQ3
"You can let go," he said, "I mean...if it makes easier." I let go and I could tell that he felt pain but refused to show it. He bit his lip and tried to put his "brave face" on. I couldn't help but laugh.541Please respect copyright.PENANAfi2taVhXrZ
541Please respect copyright.PENANAuhxAtQZHpn
I made a small ball of fire with my other hand and made sure to try to focus on both.541Please respect copyright.PENANA4CSHzIWq9L
541Please respect copyright.PENANAuxhheSv85Y
"My names James," he said out of nowhere.541Please respect copyright.PENANAJKm2S6KJnH
541Please respect copyright.PENANAyyRSQ2Aenz
"I'm Ai. It's nice to meet you."541Please respect copyright.PENANAY5dDDCubQc
541Please respect copyright.PENANAbFNPfTIpCm
"Um..."541Please respect copyright.PENANA3wKfUBy5ZO
541Please respect copyright.PENANAHXTmBv1kRT
He obviously wanted to say something but something was holding him back.541Please respect copyright.PENANA0RtR7ZdlSO
541Please respect copyright.PENANAdrpjHbHYZd
"Since you showed me your powers, I'd feel bad if I didn't at least tell you what mine is. I can control plants and stuff."541Please respect copyright.PENANAhIJqYd9Fz5
541Please respect copyright.PENANAOgU11Py0Ny
"Hey James? Can I ask you a question?"541Please respect copyright.PENANAl14XzGemBO
541Please respect copyright.PENANACQ89f2Mpg9
"Sure. What is it?" He seemed eager to answer any questions that I was going to ask.541Please respect copyright.PENANA7F6OQu4BVV
541Please respect copyright.PENANAU9WxtZKoI3
"What are you trying to do in this world? What's your goal?" I don't know why, but I was curious. I figured that if his goal was good enough, I might be able to help him with it.541Please respect copyright.PENANAjKi0107ecA
541Please respect copyright.PENANAILxGn8lKLY
"My goal? To form a strong party and be the strongest in the whole world!" He seemed rather confident. But I have to admit, that wasn't the answer that I was expecting from someone like him.541Please respect copyright.PENANA6qtJ678OVy
541Please respect copyright.PENANApxaMcQ1G8k
I remember what Fie had told me about parties. Apparently they were a group of people who came together to form one strong team to accomplish a common goal or to just stay together and work together as a group of friends.541Please respect copyright.PENANAyiLdgsbU5U
541Please respect copyright.PENANArSiFZ8sItn
"Okay!" I said. "Then I'm going to join you!"541Please respect copyright.PENANA2PbljPfDHP
541Please respect copyright.PENANAkSPS4aR03W
"Wait! What!?"541Please respect copyright.PENANAsLrROkejto
541Please respect copyright.PENANAmTrqLf9Neo
"Yep! Since I have nothing better to do and nowhere to go, I'm going to join your party! Okay?"541Please respect copyright.PENANAUEZseSTdov
541Please respect copyright.PENANAHlNXcjMRWV
"S...sure. I guess I could use someone as strong as you. Welcome to the party!" He seemed to be getting happier and happier the more he thought of the advantages of me joining. "You're the first member of the party. And since we don't have a leader yet, I want you to be the leader."541Please respect copyright.PENANAgJaAgvAl3I
541Please respect copyright.PENANAdBoSq3S4E1
"Wait. Why me?"541Please respect copyright.PENANAH6OcnucPUH
541Please respect copyright.PENANAZxNaTGRchN
"Because I'm weak and bad at leading and really talking to people. And you're a good leader and trustworthy and someone people will feel more comfortable talking to you and I wanna be on a strong team and with me as leader we'll be weak and..."541Please respect copyright.PENANAMXwzlpBojY
541Please respect copyright.PENANAZfnTnsa9BK
"Okay, okay. I get it. I'm in charge." As bad as I felt taking the position of leader from him, he made a good point about him probably being a bad choice as leader. But I felt so bad.541Please respect copyright.PENANAPwQWkWDoi1
541Please respect copyright.PENANAokddDxjj9e
"So what should our party be called?" He asked.541Please respect copyright.PENANAvpDSHeO9VA
541Please respect copyright.PENANAk8e221PBLL
"I don't know, I guess we'll figure it out along the way. K?"541Please respect copyright.PENANA5IlHNtO0aX
541Please respect copyright.PENANASrI97I0WSW
"Okay!"541Please respect copyright.PENANARlWCaIilV1
541Please respect copyright.PENANA4LJ0RAzohl
This was going to be an... interesting trip. 541Please respect copyright.PENANASu1l7NZqAs
