Conner had been following Ender for quite some time. Ever since the battle with Sonake, he had wondered exactly who or what Ender was. So he set off.
Nobody had realised that he had gone away yet, but he was sure that someone would notice him.
And, just as he was thinking about that, he exited the forest and walked into a massive clearing. To his right, a smaller forest with a strange energy pulsing through it. To the left there was a mountain range, high as the sky, spreading further than his eye could see. However, his eyes were drawn towards the top of the mountain, where he could see two figures. One seemed vaguely human, and the other was not so much. They seemed to be...
...watching him.
He decided to let it pass by. His current goal was finding Ender. And in a place as massive as this, that was going to be quite the challenge.
But Conner knew he had power. Buckets full of it. He just didn't know what it was or how to control it. But he knew it was there.
No time to think on that, time to find Ender.
He was over standing by the foot of the mountain.
Well, that was easy.
He headed off, blissfully unaware that he was leaving a golden glow in the ground behind him, and that there was a strange, scarred person following him through the shadows of the dimming sunset.
