Day 2
The night began calm and cool, as Mor and I began our travels through the wild land between towns. As Mor warned, many knocked at his door that day, but I did not answer knowing what was at stake. He was risking it all to help me and I do not plan to pay him thanks by putting him in even more danger. However, my mind does have some questions that need to be answered. He said last night that he stayed behind. Does that mean that he was once a member of the tribe or did he just see them pass through? I am not sure if either is possible, but asking seems to be out of the question at this pace.
"Faster my son, we must seek refuge before morning dawns," Mor said as Rocky was starting to lag behind.
"Isn't that hours away?" Rocky asked as Mor nodded his head and then quickened his pace, yet again.
"Yes, but we must pass by one town this night and make great haste to get to the other. Are your powers sufficient enough to help us on our way?" Mor asked Rocky nodded his head. He did not want to have to morph, yet, but it seemed he was going to have to do that, very soon. "Then help us, in the darkness no one but you and I shall know it."
"I'll try," Rocky said as he morphed and then looked over at the man, who stood there in shock. He had never seen a warrior quite like this before, but he knew that the questions he had were not likely to be answered.
"More endurance, now?" Mor asked as Rocky nodded his head yes and Mor then started running with Rocky hot on his heels. "A ranger. If I had only known of Aisha's past or should I say future? Maybe we would have understood what our mother was saying better."
"There's no explanation for it other than this," Rocky said motioning to his blue suit and smiling under his ranger helmet. "Hopefully Aisha might remember me."
"Well, she may. Your knowledge of her is still here," Mor said as they entered the town. "Quickly, if we are seen we will be killed. No one here wants you to come, it means the destruction of our culture."
"Then why do you want me here?" Rocky asked, as Mor stopped in the middle of the street, nearly causing Rocky to run into him.
"For Aisha, you see she is my sister. No matter what comes of this, you are the foreigner that will help us," Mor said, as Rocky stood there in shock.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Rocky asked, as they began on their way again.
"What use was it for you to know? I have missed my sister dearly, but you have missed her more than all. We need to get there as soon as possible. I don't know how much time we have," Mor said as they ran side-by-side making as little noise as they could manage.
"Is that why you stayed behind?" Rocky asked, as Mor nodded his head yes.
"I stayed for this journey, yes. You see, our mother is gifted in fortunes and knew that one day you would come for Aisha, however help would be needed to get you to her. That is why I and all the others you shall meet stayed behind," Mor said as Rocky now began thinking on the matter and their running became silent.
-------------------------------------
"Aisha! Hold on!" Rocky yelled as he threw a monster away from her and he scrambled to her side.
"Rocky? What are you doing here? Why aren't you in Angel Grove?" Aisha asked as Rocky landed beside her and smiled.
"I'm here to help. What else do you think I'm doing here?" Rocky asked as she gave him a crushing hug.
"I've missed you," Aisha whispered as she inhaled his scent and then sighed. She had wanted to do this for so long, but he had not been here.
"I've missed you too, Ish. I've missed you to," Rocky said as Aisha jerked awake in the night, in a cold sweat and looked around her home. It was empty of any signs of him, so why was he coming to her now and so vividly?
"Another dream, dear?" her mother asked as Aisha nodded her head yes and tried to recompose herself. She usually didn't get upset about these dreams, but she just knew that this one could really come true. "About whom?"
"Rocky," Aisha said, quietly, as her mother nodded her head. "Why do I still dream of him? It has been years since I came here and yet he still comes to my mind more than anyone else."
"Love can travel through time, dear and the quest has begun. I imagine that it is going to become worse," her mother said as Aisha sat up in her bed.
"What quest?" Aisha asked quickly as she did not particularly like the sound of that.
"Mor, your brother, will be here to visit soon. Now rest, my child, your work will begin in the morn," her mother said as Aisha lay back down and quickly fell off to sleep. "My child, as they near, even you will find it impossible to not see the signs of your Rocky coming to you at last."
---------------------------------------
As the palest of pinks began to rise in the east, Rocky and Mor entered Cantu, the first safe village on their journey. They had not had a chance to rest during the night, but now that they were this close, they felt a new spurt of energy. They knew that they were going to make it and that they would not be found out, today at least.
"Power down. You need not be seen by anybody else in that costume. Come, we will rest here," Mor said, as he rapped on a door and it was slung open by a young woman.
"Oh, it is you, Mor and a guest, I see," Adona said as she quickly ushered them inside and closed the door behind them. "I was expecting you to arrive earlier."
"Sorry about the delay, Dona. We made the best time that we could, considering," Mor said nodding towards Rocky, who merely shrugged. He knew he was slow but while he was morphed, they made excellent time, what did he have to complain about?
"Upstairs, the both of you. I have a guest coming today and it is needless to say that although this be a peaceful place, they might not appreciate this foreigner," Adona said as Mor and Rocky nodded, then scrambled up the ladder. "Do be careful not to snore. You know how horrible I am at making up lies."
"Who's that?" Rocky whispered as he lay down and Mor fastened the hatch shut.
"Adona, a cousin of mine. She will feed us later, right now we must rest, for we have another long night ahead," Mor said as Rocky had a sudden thought. What if it took them months to reach her?
"How long will this journey take?" Rocky asked as Mor, looked at him and then began counting the days in his head.
"Ten days, without bad weather," Mor said as Rocky nodded then rolled over to rest his weary body while Mor did the same. They both knew that the true journey had only just begun.
