OOCNo worries, I really like it, I told you, I'm sorry mine is a bit long, it's just introduction, I feel like continuing the other thread I showed you...
She felt like waking up from deep dream. She tried to stand up, ending up half sitting with enormous pain in her head that pulled her back on ground. By the way her body and surroundings changed she concluded she was asleep for a while. She probably collapsed from the usage of Flux, it wouldn't be her first time. Her legs still hurt, but it wasn't horrible, cutting pain like it was before her sleep, it was deep, slow, almost hard to notice, but irritating and it hurt more if she moved her legs. Except constant buzzing her head wasn't able to accept forest sounds. Everything felt so dizzy.
After she took her time to rest she remembered the map and her job, and decided to finally take a look at the bag. And it wasn't just that, the fact it was a day meant she was probably asleep for 24 hours, maybe even more and she needed to deliver her prey, so the whole thing wouldn't go to waste. She stood up to the sitting position, ignoring headache and pain in legs, and opened the bag. There wasn't much in there. There was a wallet, with few Mizas inside, amount rich usually carry around if they get a chance to show their status, few papers, some paperwork, who knows, maybe some important business. Still, she haven't had much interest in that, she can't use it without being spotted. He had a bottle of water too. He was probably ill or something, so he had to hydrate often. She gratefully drank all of it. Her throat desperately seemed, completely dry, dried out by time she spent asleep. She put the bottle back, finally getting to see her pray, the map. It was Mathew's bay, she knew that much, and she saw a island everything was about. It was a bit far from Zeltiva. She wasn't best at geography, but she thought closest continental land was jungle. It's no doubt nobody would spot a island like that.
After she rested and counted her things, she packed everything up, except Mizas from wallet and the map, which she hide in her pocket and T-shirt. She wanted to get back to docks fastest she was able to, without Flux, certainly, so she would be sure captain haven't left Zeltiva just yet. She desired to copy the map, but she hadn't got a way to do it, nor time. She memorized location the best she could, along with coordinates on the map, hoping that's enough. She started running, or jogging, or probably walking in stupid way as if she was running. The pain was killing her, and she hoped to be able to stand it, not now, but after she gets her money and everything.
Her silly run was interrupted by a mere wolf in her way. After first shock passed she realized it wasn't just a mere wolf, but the wild animal in middle of winter, probably hungry and willing to eat her. She took a step back, on her second she tripped and almost fallen back. She took few deep breathes, trying not to look at animals eyes. She wasn't sure what would more likely kill her - this wolf right here or using Flux more than this. She didn't know what to do. Praying was usually no help, she learned it trough tough years she lived, fighting with her skills is usually no help either, and running away is usually best solution, but she cannot allow herself more freedom than up to this moment. She can't waste anymore Djed, she haven't even took time to regenerate it, only thing she have done is drinking that water, and it was nothing, she was still thirsty, tired, not to mention hunger. |
