The three ran till they couldn't hear anything but the cries of the birds and other animals. Yvnvsv closed her eyes and felt the earth, it was an amazing feeling finding something so surreal after that chaos.

"I s-said wait up you t-two!" Gulping for air Bryce glared at the two. "We needed a better plan than just r-running off into the forest with god KNOWS how many dangerous animals." Bryce sighed and coughed as he wasn't really accostomed to running like that. 'Sure the war has been waging but I am only the night guard in the camp, besided this little incident there was nothing that meant I had to continue training. I regret it now oh my lord all mighty.' Bryce grabbed his side as it started to hurt.

"See Miss. I told you he would slow us down." Alec said a matter of factly like he knew Bryce was out of shape.

Yvnvsv stifled her chuckles as she watched the poor man try to gain his breath. The three had stopped by a fallen tree trunk, big and hallow, Yvnvsv wondered if it could be used as a make shift tent should it be needed. The day was still young but Yvnvsv had doubts they would move after this, Bryce was out of shape and hadn't packed. 'Now would be nice to start planning out our voyage instead of being pushed in the direction the spirits would only know.' Yvnvsv held her forehead as she felt pressure build up causing her to dislike Bryce's panting breath and Alec's taunting. She needed to find herself again so she walked towards the hallowed trunk and crawled inside. Her actions caused the other two to become silent, observing what Yvnvsv was going to do next.

"Shh you two and let me try to figure what to do next." Yvnvsv sat inside the hallowed trunk paying no heed to the insects for they were all the creator's children. She slowed her breathing and pleaded for her guardian to appear in her mind.

"Miss totkay I don't thi-" Bryce was shooshed by Alec who was mesmerized by Yvnvsv's actions.

Yvnvsv sat there communing with the various voices that has helped guide her through out her life. They were worried but there was one voice that keep whispering to her to continue. It was a female voice as far as Yvnvsv could tell and it provoked a sense of comfort that only her mother was able to give her. Yvnvsv sighed in contentment before she opened her eyes. 'I'll continue...let's hope our luck changes.' Yvnvsv crawled out of the hollow and looked to the other two as she stood back up, patting away debris that stuck on her clothes.

"What was that all about Totkay?" Bryce asked a little peeved at being shushed by Alec

"It is Totkv Bryce. And I was just trying to collect myself. This hasn't been a very good way to start our mission now has it?" Yvnvsv stifled her laughed at the way Bryce had said her name. White men do not know how to say names properly and her tribe's Elder had said that was a good thing. Names had power to them and one must be careful with giving it out to others.

"So you did some sort of magic? Like I heard you people could talk to the earth...or something like that." Alec was embarassed at voicing the idiotic rumors that he heard in the town.

"It's not magic it is simply calming your spirit so one can overcome many things. Do you want to set up here Alec? It is almost dark and I do not think it wise to travel when one cannot see their way." Yvnvsv was also afraid of the various animals she knew that hunts at night.

"Well...I guess I'll just travel in my full uniform then." Bryce grumbled and stole a glare at both Yvnvsv and Alec for running off before he could pack. 'Sure we were being attacked but I need fresh clothes.' Bryce turned his back on the two as Yvnvsv began gathering wood for a fire. Alec was told to clear a space and line it with rocks so as not to have the fire spread.

As the fire was built and set, the three sat beside it in silence. The sounds of the forest began its lullaby. Bryce was the first to lay down and then Alec after the boy took out a small blanket. Yvnvsv was the last and she wished she could enjoy the beautiful song of the forest with those that understood what it was saying. She could hear the slight sadness in the various noises and that made her heart heavy. As sleep was slowly creeping upon her Yvnvsv jumped at the loud crunch of a fallen branch and a groan of pain.
