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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAkCs8l79tj5

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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAMdmlM71ntQ
565Please respect copyright.PENANAH1MFTsbbmT
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAZPf3G4DJZB
565Please respect copyright.PENANA8amGu7wawJ
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAdj6WBW6phk

"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANA5UEKIoMKs4
565Please respect copyright.PENANAVG3vM5fXCx
"Maybe I can," I said to myself. Okay. I'm starting to creep myself out with all this talking to myself.565Please respect copyright.PENANA73SMnhjMGI
565Please respect copyright.PENANAufgvwSw0BC
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAxgFfQsQ4oE
565Please respect copyright.PENANAKeBaTrCxeG
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAKGvI4PzH69
565Please respect copyright.PENANAmPWdiLze97
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAzMA7CzXmiF
565Please respect copyright.PENANAFWnh63JlLs
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAdVe5wnrQha
565Please respect copyright.PENANAwJhCvfdaEt
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANApNVBrCAzEW
565Please respect copyright.PENANAGB5PgpJFwW
"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!?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAx4mjpSXLUC
565Please respect copyright.PENANA4bW5aBjZ8E
"Testing to see if you got burned," I said.565Please respect copyright.PENANA7KMOe6CtsP
565Please respect copyright.PENANAKnysJv5Qbv
"Why!?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAustH4XXkwG
565Please respect copyright.PENANAc808YrKLyp
"...just curious."565Please respect copyright.PENANAllLdFfT6mS
565Please respect copyright.PENANAG5Y3cAAdJb
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAlfCXrLaTD1
565Please respect copyright.PENANA7KWMLoukFA
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAvTzQqSDMnB
565Please respect copyright.PENANAAPon3pGpcp
"What are you doing!?" I yelled putting my hands on his ankles to drag him off the fire.565Please respect copyright.PENANAn0BDRICJ7Y
565Please respect copyright.PENANA55qNFciuC8
The yelling stopped but the crying didn't.565Please respect copyright.PENANA1OgpU7EOWY
565Please respect copyright.PENANAHKXih2k4dI
"What happened?" He asked.565Please respect copyright.PENANAOusa5jMPJi
565Please respect copyright.PENANAjZZzyjNJ5I
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAZVGm5qBR3n
565Please respect copyright.PENANA7VBZdPfCYj
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANA7LDlV9at90
565Please respect copyright.PENANArbcTAp4Lce
"Why?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAzSUlXFmt7x
565Please respect copyright.PENANAJjKAiEV40P
"Because you're hurting the sticks!?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAASL1llUuCm
565Please respect copyright.PENANAh6adZcaJo6
"I'm hurting... the sticks?" Great. This guy wasn't only weak, he was also insane.565Please respect copyright.PENANAabFSJZKjLD
565Please respect copyright.PENANAResbwxIgZc
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAdzvOpcQboP
565Please respect copyright.PENANAA6hIgoALzF
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?565Please respect copyright.PENANAWd5zSRm2QH
565Please respect copyright.PENANA3VIgo1PDE6
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANASn5hF6tMrA
565Please respect copyright.PENANA42U88lpHDf
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAydqQxQIxrD
565Please respect copyright.PENANAPTfqvNnOvE
"Water!" I exclaimed making the boy jump. "Water will help the burn."565Please respect copyright.PENANAJXXlU7VovA
565Please respect copyright.PENANAEsKkPIv9q3
"Okay," he said, "but where are you going to find water on this huge mountain?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAdDZxgcjPNZ
565Please respect copyright.PENANAYP8Fq3jERX
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAencsiZqlFj
565Please respect copyright.PENANA9xr9JvEAz1
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANA1WXGgoXbUd
565Please respect copyright.PENANAiZr4a4PzRi
"Can you take off your shirt?" I asked. He snapped out of his daze and suddenly became really shy.565Please respect copyright.PENANARBd3dTyssO
565Please respect copyright.PENANAtlfwsz2Gr0
"But if you take off my shirt then you'll see..." I didn't know what to make of this guy.565Please respect copyright.PENANAONv1ZirMWP
565Please respect copyright.PENANAzqUmw6WbUr
"Take it off before I burn it off!"565Please respect copyright.PENANAn1bgp8Wc0Z
565Please respect copyright.PENANA5Kn15u8iow
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAlcsMzLiulY
565Please respect copyright.PENANAFHJr69OReE
"Um..?" The boy said looking at me with a rosy shade of red set on his face.565Please respect copyright.PENANAJwXNUtNMUR
565Please respect copyright.PENANAipMwTjqaxs
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANA4hF3qVaA2R
565Please respect copyright.PENANAEsSAVopKmt
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANA7EtTR2GVwH
565Please respect copyright.PENANAdgDAhR0yI9
I made a small ball of fire with my other hand and made sure to try to focus on both.565Please respect copyright.PENANAwIz07BZxOh
565Please respect copyright.PENANAsNNPxT4PHc
"My names James," he said out of nowhere.565Please respect copyright.PENANA2LZCDwK4Wx
565Please respect copyright.PENANAhgncHHEpht
"I'm Ai. It's nice to meet you."565Please respect copyright.PENANAhdruUp0QEA
565Please respect copyright.PENANAJewipsZf2p
"Um..."565Please respect copyright.PENANAAHOj6R4bms
565Please respect copyright.PENANArtrybD3hPH
He obviously wanted to say something but something was holding him back.565Please respect copyright.PENANALBkoCD9smV
565Please respect copyright.PENANAWbGQxjtRAG
"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."565Please respect copyright.PENANA3dbuasAc2K
565Please respect copyright.PENANAUHVhVG6lQ5
"Hey James? Can I ask you a question?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAfKpKIwgHVa
565Please respect copyright.PENANAzxGvUr0VND
"Sure. What is it?" He seemed eager to answer any questions that I was going to ask.565Please respect copyright.PENANAzICOC6Krte
565Please respect copyright.PENANAhMP4T6lwFj
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAGDSJtomMRP
565Please respect copyright.PENANA1fWFszyRU1
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAsvT5yKG0RB
565Please respect copyright.PENANAByX8EMYyrv
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.565Please respect copyright.PENANAtc6TDpZUUX
565Please respect copyright.PENANAnaXse679Ku
"Okay!" I said. "Then I'm going to join you!"565Please respect copyright.PENANAkvUX9Jo1S0
565Please respect copyright.PENANAkdXvMp7Jm2
"Wait! What!?"565Please respect copyright.PENANATERsaf6ia7
565Please respect copyright.PENANAOB0BJj3XLh
"Yep! Since I have nothing better to do and nowhere to go, I'm going to join your party! Okay?"565Please respect copyright.PENANA1YU0pgaMbN
565Please respect copyright.PENANAnc07uCibEE
"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."565Please respect copyright.PENANAhYexM8TA2f
565Please respect copyright.PENANAv12QuZu5Mt
"Wait. Why me?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAKqjejEtbJZ
565Please respect copyright.PENANADpd6AYv8eR
"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..."565Please respect copyright.PENANAUBE0e5xvnk
565Please respect copyright.PENANAtmAGDDqT7U
"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.565Please respect copyright.PENANADN6vPdH4n2
565Please respect copyright.PENANAFzQvTyZTpK
"So what should our party be called?" He asked.565Please respect copyright.PENANAhU6yWx5RZw
565Please respect copyright.PENANAiv9gnGfueh
"I don't know, I guess we'll figure it out along the way. K?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAWhkOg5XPtF
565Please respect copyright.PENANAAl2wmYUVeH
"Okay!"565Please respect copyright.PENANAMjulZjP20n
565Please respect copyright.PENANAWcJ4VcFyid
This was going to be an... interesting trip. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAEnXa2TA5aE
