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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAzoyTlS8VTq

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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAvPmJTdlZRE
595Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0iENivkB4
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAjXWPdS5LXo
595Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dt5McNH6U
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAaN61KHrV1z
595Please respect copyright.PENANAdVgEcw4Sq5
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAJeGqsKfOBu
595Please respect copyright.PENANA39srL6F4kT
"Maybe I can," I said to myself. Okay. I'm starting to creep myself out with all this talking to myself.595Please respect copyright.PENANAv09T5QUTgE
595Please respect copyright.PENANAsciCd32AaF
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANA0BFTWlQqJ0
595Please respect copyright.PENANApDdbsKmSXL
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAx9qxP0cigL
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfxmolSVEgY
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAXbbn00Rew0
595Please respect copyright.PENANASkAaBlsFmn
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAosvLwpRFU0
595Please respect copyright.PENANAHWEojjn4VU
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAGhn6TnFRgu
595Please respect copyright.PENANA5BNxZMttHh
"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!?"595Please respect copyright.PENANAMtUTBP9K7z
595Please respect copyright.PENANATECJf3lEE8
"Testing to see if you got burned," I said.595Please respect copyright.PENANAxyC32jPcfY
595Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1k68nA97r
"Why!?"595Please respect copyright.PENANAnQNEcbfhzo
595Please respect copyright.PENANASDc4TTKstA
"...just curious."595Please respect copyright.PENANAb9kZDQbv0Z
595Please respect copyright.PENANA4c675CpaVe
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAA72G8naXzt
595Please respect copyright.PENANAm2K3oOwWNk
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAZLlrlZPwNO
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOMlSbu6f6v
"What are you doing!?" I yelled putting my hands on his ankles to drag him off the fire.595Please respect copyright.PENANA2KVV2mPQIz
595Please respect copyright.PENANAApaOmb4DOy
The yelling stopped but the crying didn't.595Please respect copyright.PENANA2sMkuimpRD
595Please respect copyright.PENANAyVltNoqzZm
"What happened?" He asked.595Please respect copyright.PENANAGB6h25MKUX
595Please respect copyright.PENANAydnH5VFFdO
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAGDiMFzFg26
595Please respect copyright.PENANAoNtIpFZEuW
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAtFp53Cyd4w
595Please respect copyright.PENANAhX4d00b1Hw
"Why?"595Please respect copyright.PENANAiIvINthRQP
595Please respect copyright.PENANAtWCMkzQrCZ
"Because you're hurting the sticks!?"595Please respect copyright.PENANARynZgArRAQ
595Please respect copyright.PENANA22aop9HX38
"I'm hurting... the sticks?" Great. This guy wasn't only weak, he was also insane.595Please respect copyright.PENANA8mmxeaS7ad
595Please respect copyright.PENANAImAfOK3DhD
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANACMngDcGlAl
595Please respect copyright.PENANAZHZkCO9C60
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?595Please respect copyright.PENANArMD1zX1OIZ
595Please respect copyright.PENANAXL16C6bp78
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAMkicHGF76g
595Please respect copyright.PENANAgnDy1sCpUD
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAFYfLZzK1j9
595Please respect copyright.PENANAFPK7PEt3G7
"Water!" I exclaimed making the boy jump. "Water will help the burn."595Please respect copyright.PENANAOwXUfXEzAa
595Please respect copyright.PENANAobBSxiT1Ez
"Okay," he said, "but where are you going to find water on this huge mountain?"595Please respect copyright.PENANAl3wgdKsSEc
595Please respect copyright.PENANAeblhezGwVm
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANArxmsS8GvfI
595Please respect copyright.PENANAwwTVCMdvSJ
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAlroYSHGzKV
595Please respect copyright.PENANAogKv5h7f4z
"Can you take off your shirt?" I asked. He snapped out of his daze and suddenly became really shy.595Please respect copyright.PENANAickndg7jFU
595Please respect copyright.PENANA7n3djNASzC
"But if you take off my shirt then you'll see..." I didn't know what to make of this guy.595Please respect copyright.PENANAXLfEsN8SJA
595Please respect copyright.PENANAuACGYNXAtO
"Take it off before I burn it off!"595Please respect copyright.PENANAFo6xwb9Sai
595Please respect copyright.PENANAtY7NC0jCnm
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAzbeBs4ue2s
595Please respect copyright.PENANAgi8FkjAYDp
"Um..?" The boy said looking at me with a rosy shade of red set on his face.595Please respect copyright.PENANArsc3SGAeOn
595Please respect copyright.PENANA1hi9oMwiVx
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAUYCPfCF4uq
595Please respect copyright.PENANABqTMUU3B1v
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAvwL2i33ukz
595Please respect copyright.PENANAL87KulqCmw
I made a small ball of fire with my other hand and made sure to try to focus on both.595Please respect copyright.PENANAd3x9qOiqC8
595Please respect copyright.PENANAOLig6ce2hr
"My names James," he said out of nowhere.595Please respect copyright.PENANApIuG6Yn9ok
595Please respect copyright.PENANAqGkDY6KDNN
"I'm Ai. It's nice to meet you."595Please respect copyright.PENANA2NksCb9yV5
595Please respect copyright.PENANAA7K0IbOUwN
"Um..."595Please respect copyright.PENANANFw0hba7Pv
595Please respect copyright.PENANA4KrdbU3XlE
He obviously wanted to say something but something was holding him back.595Please respect copyright.PENANAA0kB88xeis
595Please respect copyright.PENANA2CyYyfEXOy
"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."595Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZH3DT5KiI
595Please respect copyright.PENANAfS1v2m74P1
"Hey James? Can I ask you a question?"595Please respect copyright.PENANAt1O9MoQk3E
595Please respect copyright.PENANAT2JAFjmYHg
"Sure. What is it?" He seemed eager to answer any questions that I was going to ask.595Please respect copyright.PENANAHKWnu4uHsr
595Please respect copyright.PENANAlvCYqE5myx
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANA2cvqzvGF0q
595Please respect copyright.PENANAbF6lzavMem
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANA4Tt5qYda5m
595Please respect copyright.PENANAdgJhzKcmFT
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAvL2MweqGvz
595Please respect copyright.PENANAVaDoOdf3Mj
"Okay!" I said. "Then I'm going to join you!"595Please respect copyright.PENANAbBrfQZjTPL
595Please respect copyright.PENANAGKl1HdadtG
"Wait! What!?"595Please respect copyright.PENANA1TSAr3ak28
595Please respect copyright.PENANATlXV92vjfo
"Yep! Since I have nothing better to do and nowhere to go, I'm going to join your party! Okay?"595Please respect copyright.PENANAcgIH0HA8VW
595Please respect copyright.PENANA2CqgW6Wjln
"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."595Please respect copyright.PENANArpJ7mJeyj5
595Please respect copyright.PENANAqafZDx9O3S
"Wait. Why me?"595Please respect copyright.PENANA7GISITdLqR
595Please respect copyright.PENANAKpZuG6gJsC
"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..."595Please respect copyright.PENANAPlv2tGSlJt
595Please respect copyright.PENANAAbGFPO4b3S
"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.595Please respect copyright.PENANA1EU8QMrmYC
595Please respect copyright.PENANAK60SdkbsJ4
"So what should our party be called?" He asked.595Please respect copyright.PENANAVfqFQW6ByG
595Please respect copyright.PENANA0ErnqMf0s3
"I don't know, I guess we'll figure it out along the way. K?"595Please respect copyright.PENANAC0559f64mr
595Please respect copyright.PENANAVNUXlz9smC
"Okay!"595Please respect copyright.PENANAfXLnQWBIS1
595Please respect copyright.PENANAg2l5FDxHW4
This was going to be an... interesting trip. 595Please respect copyright.PENANAC3ib9U7Ct4
