Unusual Encounters
Chapter One: Big and Blaze
She sighed, now feeling a little more than annoyed.
"Alright…um...Big, right?"
He nodded, still happy despite seeing her obviously less so.
"I'm just trying to get to Mystic Ruins. You say you live there?"
He nodded again.
"So, then, where is it?"
He put a hand to his chin- thinking deeply and earning another sigh from Blaze.
"I think it's that way." He pointed in a familiar direction.
She facepalmed. "I came from that way."
"Oh," he said, resuming his thoughtful state.
She felt flames beginning to flicker on her fingertips. She knew he meant the best, but she was fed up with his slowness to realize her impatience.
"Listen, I want to get there very soon because there is somewhere I really ought to be…now." She glanced towards the sky- and was greatly agitated when she saw the sun setting behind her.
"Why don't you just walk in the opposite direction?" he asked.
"Because that might not be the way to Mystic Ruins," she snapped.
"Oh…well, Mystic Ruins is along a river somewhere."
Her ears perked at the sound of at least this clue. "Really? Which river?"
"The one me and Froggy usually fish in," Big replied.
"Oh…great." She was starting to think she could get there faster without him.
"Yeah! There are lots of big fish there! Yesterday, I caught a huge carp, and those are pretty rare, y'know. But Froggy didn't seem surprised-"
"Th-that's great but I really need to be going," Blaze interrupted.
"Okey dokey. Follow the first river you see and go north."
Blaze's eyes widened, and she hoped that his directions were correct.
"Oh, thank you…"
She barely said a goodbye before she took off running again.
