Chapter 2
He looked at me with those wide, purple eyes of his. He looked terrified.
"Well? Answer me. At least say something." I pried.
"Wh-what were those things?" he asked.
"Creepers. Green sons of bitches that hiss and explode. You're lucky I got them." I said, lifting the arrow away from him and putting it back in my quiver. I offered him a hand, and he took it. The minute I touched his hand, I didn't feel quite right. It's as if there was something more to this boy that I couldn't pinpoint.
I looked up at the sky and saw the sun descending.
"Alright, since you seem to be alone out here, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you back to my village if you tell me about yourself. Deal?"
He nodded. I started back towards Domino Dorf.
"Let's start with an easy one. What's your name?" I asked.
"My name's Yugi." he said.
"I'm Mira." I replied. "Where are you from?"
"Domino City."
"Huh. Never heard of it." I looked at him. "You're not from here, are you?"
"Well, where exactly is here?"
"You're on New Earth. It's basically Earth but 90% of the human population has been wiped out."
"WHAT?!" He looked mortified.
"Don't blow your lid! There were a lot of survivors, and we banded together into groups, like where I live. Hey! There it is now!" I said, running ahead.
The sun was just setting over West Mountain, casting an orange glow over the town.
"Yugi, welcome to Domino Dorf."
