TBA P.O.V
The radiating orb of light that had been referred to as sun was slowly descending on the horizon, while the light of the orb called moon ascended on the opposite side.
To him the moon always brought on a sense of tranquility, especially after the story that his father had passed onto him as a young child. It felt as if his kin were…
"Anikiiiiiii!, that's not fair you said you were going to practice with me today!" a whine broke his train of thought.
What would it take for him to find a moment of peace, at least he was on one of the highest branches of the trees and the whining was not as intense.
"Hnn…why would I, ototo" his older voice resonated, "But anikIIIIIIII…..you promised" the younger boy retaliated.
Well his younger brother was certainly not going to stop bothering him that time and to get him of his back he had made a promise. One which he did not plan to carry out and the only way to get rid of a pest such as his was to trick him.
"….Fine" the older boy complied.
"REALLY, ANIKI! YOU WILL HELP ME TRAIN!"
"Hmp…" he sighed, "Ototo, do you remember last time….what we played?"
"YEAH! AND THAT DOESN'T COUNT AS TRAINING! I NEVER FOUND YOU" shouted the younger boy.
"Well maybe you need to train such skill. Take it or leave it." He replied and the younger boy pouted.
"Fine ANIKI! But this time I am going to find you, you better believe it!"
With that the older boy jumped from his tree, "10 minutes and NO CHEATING!" he shouted over his shoulder as he made his way towards the forest.
He needed to find a place where his annoying little brother would never think of looking. Last time he had found an empty cave on the right side of a far off cliff. That would be great place rest in while some little pest honed his tracking skill.
As he made his way towards the cliff, a sound seemed to emanate from the upcoming forest. 'Most likely a catch from one of the hunters, that resides near the settlement' at that he kept traveling, trying to place as much distance between him and the pest.
Only to stop once again by the cry. It didn't seem like that of a normal animal, it seemed weak yet desperate. 'It might be that someone is in danger' he decided to head towards the sound. Approaching the situation with caution he made his way through a small clearing.
It seemed that no one had been there, but the crying kept increasing as he approached the tree line. After picking up his pace he found what seemed to be a bundle of tattered rags covered with blood. From within came the shrilling cry of a….
"Baby" he quickly ran towards the bundle and expected to find a child that was on the brink of death due to all the blood that seemed to cover the area.
As he unwrapped the blankets, fine pink strands of hair came into view along with large redden emerald green eyes. And to his misfortune another cry emeraged, even more annoying than the one from the baby in his arms.
"HAHAHA! I FOUND YOU ANIKI!" his younger brother shouted from nearby.
"WAHHHH….WAHHH"
"AWWW…YOU DON'T NEED TO CRY! COME ON ANIKI I KNOW YOU ARE THERE!"
He made his way towards the clearing with the child in his arms, "Shut-up, you fool. We need to go back and fast there might be something wrong with her." Yes, he had checked and it was certainly not a boy.
"Aniki, what's that?"
"It's a baby…and by the way you cheated"
"Nah-AH!..." pouted the black hair child, " wait did you say a BABY! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FROM AND WHY IS IT COVERED IN BLOOD?"
Why was it that almost everything that had to come out of his younger brother's mouth had to be in a scream, at least the baby had more common and sense. She had begun to fall asleep in his arms and was only slightly sniffling.
"Shut-up, I won't tell you again. She is falling asleep and you are going to wake her."
"IT'S A GIRL!" he glared at his brother, "ok….let me see….please"
"Let's go first, we need to make sure she is okay" with that they set off from the dense forest and towards the settlement. "
