 Akil turned to Daniel and gave him a small, but sweet, smile. "I think it would be time for me to go as well. I've got hunting to do. It was nice to meet you too Daniel,” she said, her face blotched with tears. He was at a loss for words, how could she leave so soon? He extended his arm towards her, but let it drop as she got to the edge of the clearing. Right before the forest swallowed her, she turned around and spoke, "Uh...Sir Daniel. Goodbye, may we meet again." Then she walked on, the forest closing its jaws on her. He wanted to shout words of farewell, but his mouth refused to open, and after she was out of earshot, he sank in defeat. He dropped to his knees and his eyes turned the color of a mourning sea. After a few minutes he got up, scolding himself for being attached to these beings her hardly knew. He walked to the edge of the clearing and, in his anguish at the complications of his life, he punched a tree. The tree broke in half with a huge crack, splinters flew everywhere. He gasped in surprise and pain, as his knuckles were now bleeding. He had used Flux without trying to. This was huge! He had never been able to do this. Was the key great emotion? Hmm, Daniel resolved to experiment more in the future. He looked at the shattered trunk, the tree was a little more than a foot in diameter, quite a sturdy tree. He looked at his virtually unharmed fist in awe. Suddenly, he became aware that the clearing was empty save for him. An incredible wave of loneliness spread over him and his thoughts of his past washed through his mind. His eyes turned blue gray as he shook his head and turned his thoughts to his bond, Sylkra, and he set out on the walk through the woods back to the road. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- He soon found himself and his door, and he put the key into the deadbolt. He twisted it and let out a big sigh, opening the door. Sylk, who had been waiting for him, jumped at him and he pulled her into a warm embrace, and he smiled, happy that he was back to his love. But, even as he did so, his thoughts turned to the Kelvic and the strange ghost that he had encountered. He would remember them. |
