Chapter 6
The sun began to rise as Salem jerked awake from a nap. "C'mon, Auros, I need to introduce you to my friends." He pushed Auros so he'd wake up. Drooling, Auros got up and wiped his face clean on his arm. He followed Salem to the middle of the clearing where they set up camp. Salem climbed into the tent and woke the others up as Rowan came back from her outpost. "Hey guys! wake up!" He yelled. Searen stood up only to bump his head on the top frame of the tent and fall over again.
"Ow… what's the deal man? I was having a dream about pink fluffy unicorns and rainbows." he complained.
"Well, then I'm glad I woke you…" Salem chuckled. "Come on out, I need to introduce you guys to someone." He continued as Rouse, Yunae and Searen all got out of the tent all moaning. "Guys, this is Auros, Auros this is Yunae, Searen Rouse and Rowan." He pointed to all of his friends.
"Hey guys, I'm a rank ten Sorcerer. This is my spellbook. I also have an enchanted satchel that gives me infinite daggers to throw." He replied.
"Your weapon is a book?" Rowan chuckled. "What're you going to do? Bore the enemy to death?" Auros glared at her, flipped his pages silently, and did a cryptic hand movement.
"!?" Rowan tried to speak, mouthing "What did you do to me!?"
"Haha, I muted you." He laughed. "Now you won't be able to speak for five minutes."
"Wow, I just realized how tall Auros is. How old is he?" Searen looked at Auros then Salem.
"Seventeen, surprising right?" Salem looked at Searen who nodded.
"Please… Stop…" Auros tried to hide his face in his robe.
"Alright then, let's head off if we leave now we should make it before sundown, who needs food? I can create some for you guys." Yunae stated. Everyone raised their hands and Yunae synthesized some bread for everyone.
"Thanks." Auros shoved the whole slice in his mouth "I'm starving!"
"Yeah, thanks." Rouse began to chew slowly as everyone followed Salem toward the Forest of Flames.
