Silent. It was silent excluding the sound of feet hitting the ground in a rythmic tone. They had been walking for hours but it felt like days with the sun beating down on their backs. They had gotten little rest last night and they each took turns watching out for Daemons. Suddenly the silence was broken by the rumble of Kali's stomach. Hunger that was another thing that was plagueing them. No one said anything but they were all just as hungery.
"O.K. that is it I'm hungery we are all hungry and I want to know wher we are going. We've been wandering for hours." interupted Kali.
"I'm going north to find out anything I can about my troop. As far as I know you are all following me." Parker answered formally.
"I know that I'm going with Parker to join the resistance know that I'm free." replied Jerry.
"Well that sounds like as good as plan as any it is easier to accomplish things in groups rather than alone so I'm going north too." said Kyle.
"Sounds good to me" added Steve.
"I guess so but I'm still hungry"
"We all are but we will get some food from the resistance once we get there" said Parker.
"Well how long is that going to be do you even know where we are going? asked Kali.
"We should be there shortly the troops can't move that fast and we are going north I'm following the sun." answered Parker.
The group grew silent again. They continued there tidious walk through the desert. Finally Kyle interuppted the silence. "I'm almost wishing for some action this is so boring" "Well be careful what you wish for because there is something up ahead." Steve pointed ahead. Parker looked up ahead. "Be careful and be on your guard and ready for a fight." he said. Then they made there way to the mysterious figures.
Nick slowly opened his eyes and was suprised to see not his room but the desert. Then everything came back to him. He sat up and was surprised to see that Tyrson was awake already. She nodded at him as he slowly stretched out. Tyrson was used to waking up early to go running or do training. She was surprised that she got a decent night of sleep last night and now felt that she was ready to take action against the Daemons.
"You ready to hike across the desert." Asked Nick. He was surprisingly nice and she felt like she could trust him. "yea I guess so" she replied. The two got up and made their way out from under their shelter and took in their surroundings. Tyrson looked around and spotted something in the distance. Whatever it was it was moving. As if reading her mind Nick asked "What is that up ahead"
"I don't know but if it is an enemy it will do no good to run they will just chase us and then we will be tired from running. We'll just have to stay here and wait to see what it is. Be on your guard." replied Tyrson. Nick walked around the debris to stand next to Tyrson as the object slowly made its way closer. As it got closer he was able to make out that it was a group of something.
They appeared to be approaching cautiously as if to make out if he were dangerous.
Obviously Tyrson noticed it to because she dropped her defensive stance and turned to me.
"They look harmless and I think that it is a group of people hopefully with the same cause we are." She observed.
She was right it was humans thankfully. He didn't really want to deal with Daemons especially with the crystal in his pocket. As the group got closer they seemed to drop their defensive stances. He could see that their was one girl and four boys. The leader a serious looking tall blond approached formally. He stepped forward and asked "Are you both okay"
"I don't see how that is any of your buisness we don't even know you." replied Tyrson.
"Yes were both fine and I'm Nick and this is Tyrson. We just met but we agreed to go north together." Nick stepped in.
"Why did you tell them that we have no reason to trust them they could be on the Daemons side for all we know." Tyrson argued.
"Hey don't worry we are going to join a resistance and we are heading north also." the calm one with dark hair said.
"Do you know where the resistances are?" asked Tyson.
"No but my troop was moving north and I'm going that way until I find them or hear something about them and these guys are coming with to join." replied the leader.
"Hey why don't we just all go together. Theres safety in numbers." asked the fun looking one.
"I don't think so we don't even know who you are or if we can even trust you." Tyrson said. Eventhough she said it she did actually feel safe with these people. But she couldn't go on gut feelings.
"Sorry I'm Steve, this is Kyle" the fun one "Parker" the leader "Kali" the girl "and Jerry." The one who hadn't spoken.
"Tyrson is going north to join a resistance and I'm looking for something that might not even exhist." Explained Nick.
"It sounds like a plan if we all just go together and its a lot safer and if there are more people maybe we won't be as bored traveling together"
suggested Jerry.
"Fine" Tyrson relented. Even if she didn't agree they were going the same way so she would probably see them anyway.
"Well then lets get moving and try to make good time" said Parker.
And with that the group of seven started walking.
