Zeke P.O.V
" you know (huff) maybe this wasn't such a good idea following that letter because we've been (huff) walking through this forest for hours and we can't find this stupid river!"
"Zeke I don't think this was great idea" Yukino says just as breathless as me. We left early in the morning and to are credit managed to find everything else in the letter, from the the fork in the road to the fallen tree, but this river just doesn't want to be found. We have been walking for three hours and still couldn't find it.
"Zeke do you think we can break? My legs are tired."
I nodded so we took a break to get are energy back, we sat near a large tree with the soothing sounds of birds chirping and the wind blowing through the air, I really began to think that maybe this wasn't the smartest move. I mean I'm basing this off a letter that my mom wrote, not that my mom was bad with directions or anything, she was bit out there if that makes sense; I mean one time she fainted when I was wearing a friendship ring that Yukino made, Yukino made it because she saw two girls in the park gave each other them and said they be 'friends forever', so after hearing that I couldn't just say no, when I returned home and mom saw the ring and I told her that Yukino and I got matching rings because she wanted us to be friends forever, or at least I got thru most of that sentence because as soon as I said matching rings she was crying and telling me that it's not the right time and you're too young and ran out the house to who knows where; I didn't see her until night time, I told her that it was a friendship ring and she awkwardly apologize and excused herself, she said she and to go and make some call off for something. After that event I always made sure to make sure remember that my mom isn't one hundred percent right in the head when it came information, but now look at me blindingly following this letter that I don't know anything about and just believing that it's gonna work I got to start making my own decisions that I know will be in the best favor of everyone.
20 minutes later
As Yukino and I are packing up I was trying to remember the instructions of the map and wonder what was the proper direction to go in.
"Yukino the letter say to go left right?" I think remember it saying to go left, …but it's better to have a second opinion. Look I know what I said it's just to be safe.
"Right"
"*sigh*" "OK just stay calm, so we were going in the wrong direction that makes sense alright well just turn around and go back and-"
"Zeke why are you going in the wrong direction? We need to go left ." A confused Yukino asks
"What?"
"Yukino you said right so we're going to the right."
"I know I said right that's why we need to go left"
"Okay now she's not making any sense."
"Yukino, you need to start speaking properly here. The way we're supposed to go is left?"
"Right"
"OK, let's go."
"Then why aren't we going left?"
"You've got to be kidding me? She has to be messing with me"
"Yukino are you joshing with me? You have to tell me if you're joshing me, it's a rule."
"I'm not joshing with you I'm just saying that left is right-"
"Nononono! Look Yukino I know you're younger than me, but even at your age you should know that right is right and left is left"
"I know that I'm trying to tell that we need to go left."
…...
…...
…...
"….…Left then."
"That's rig-"
"Don't say that word until we find the river!"
2 hours later
"Five hours and still no luck, what is this the world's sneakiest river."
I'm starting to have doubts that we will find this river I mean if it's not here what are me and Yukino going to do? We survive in the forest, we haven't been taught basic survival, I didn't learn even in my first life I mean, I get the impotence of it, but how was I supposed to I was gonna die and get reincarnated into the world of Fairy Tail and be in the same proximity as Sorano and Yukino? To only have the village be attacked and be able to save Sorano and now follow a letter that was written by my now missing mother to go somewhere I have no idea where is and-Oh my god this was a terrible idea what was thinking dragging poor Yukino into this-.
"Zeke do you hear something?" Yukino asked breaking me from my thoughts.(Thank goodness for that.)
"I don't hear anything."
"Shhh listen carefully."
"Okay keep a calm mind and focus on my hearing I should be able to pick up what Yukino hears."
…
…
…
"I hear absolutely nothing."
"I don't hear anything Yukino I- where did you go?" I asked now frantically looking for any sign of that bluish-white haired girl.
I was lucky to spot her running downhill on a much more narrow path with twigs and branches poking about.
"It's just of those days, where the world loves to hate me. Okay let's just get this over with 1….2….3"
"Ow, Ow this hurts stupid twigs- ouch darn it."
*Thwack*
"Haaaa right in face hrrr."
*Thwack*
"Ha enough with the branch in the face jeez."
*Thwomp"
.
.
.
.
"Alright I'll take in the face next time."
.
.
.
.
.
"Ow"
*Splash*
"Cold get out get out get out get out must get out of the water it's cold." As I rush out of the water onto the shore I-…. Wait water does this mean we found the river? I look back to see a water current going down further into the forest. I look the other direction to Yukino standing there with a big smile on her face; funny I haven't seen her this happy in while.
"Zeke we did it! We found the river we're one step closer to finding this town your mother was talking about!"
"Yeah we are." I exclaimed by picking her up and spinning her around as she giggle with glee. We finally found it we're on our way to the end to see what mom wanted us to do.
10 minutes later
As Yukino and I are still traveling down the river I couldn't help, but take in the beauty of this nature, I mean back in Earth had some beautiful wildlife, but Earthland just takes the cake I mean the way the trees have this healthy green to them and the way the light reflects the water and shines on them just makes this a sight to behold, it's like something out of an anime. Okay yeah I technically do now live in an anime world now, but this is my life now whether by chance or not I'm gonna have to get used to it.
As I look forward I start to see a bits of rooftops. "Hey Yukino. I see rooftops we did it. We made to the city!" As told Yukino I picked her up and positioned her on my shoulders so she get a better chance to see the town. "I see them! We did it! Zeke we're gonna go to town and see the guild and maybe we can join it and I'll get my magic unlocked and we'll become powerful wizards and we'll be famous-"
I zoned out Yukino's rambling and think about how my mother was part of guild and never talked about it to me she always said saying that I'll tell when you're older and now she'll never get a chance, but maybe I can find out who was my mother from this guild it could lead to me being able to find her
5 minutes later
As we finally reach the outskirts of the city I was just amazed on how huge it all was, the further I tried to see ahead the more buildings I saw it was like it had no end. As we were walking inside I was left wondering where the guild is supposed to be I mean if memory of the show is right the guild should be right in the middle because it holds the honor the city, but with how big this place is how can we find the middle in the first place.
I felt a grip form on right arm, no doubt that's Yukino who's probably intimidated by this place. I pull my harm out of her grasp, which in turn caused Yukino to pout with little tears at the end of her eyes close to her ears, I then wrapped my right arm around her and pulled her in close. "Stay, close Yukino. This place is humongous and I don't want to lose you too." I whispered to her. As I said that I felt her lean in and close her eyes. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere and we will get thru this together and then we'll find Sorano together because we're friends, and friends stick with each other. OK!" A smile slowly inched its way onto my face, because Yukino was right we got thru this little mini quest together and we'll go thru whatever else life throws at us. Because we got each other and soon a guild to call family. It will be a new chapter for us.
As soon as we find this guild it will be a new chapter for us. Because we still do not where we're going.
"Maybe we should ask someone where the Guild is? A Yukino."
"That is probably a good idea Zeke. Oh there's someone you can ask." I look to where she was pointing and see a fruit stand with middle aged man setting out his produce. As we I walked up to the stand I make sure to sound polite because adults love when the youth shows them respect.
"Thanks. *Ahem* excuse me sure do you know where the local guild is?" Asking the fruit stand owner in a very polite tone.
"Huh? Oh hey there kid, you're looking for the guild? Well you know a lot of guys are looking for that guild too, so don't think you're special! Now get outta here!"
Well that was certainly unexpected. "Don't worry about that Yukino I'm sure he just a… Bad apple." Say with confidence as I hear Yukino groan from it; ah she doesn't get it, when a pun is that bad it's good. I suddenly feel someone grab my collar and beginning to shake me senselessly.
"Zeke, this isn't the for your bad puns we need to find the guild." The young girl screams at me as I start lose my sense of sight. Man when she wants to Yukino can be just as scary as Erza.
"OK, lets just start asking the other locals."
1 hour later
"Wow I can't believe the nerve of this city not a single person would tell me where the guild is." Most responses were 'Oh I'll save you the trouble, your not gonna become a member ' 'you better off going off to the next town and join their guild' or some would flat out laugh at my face; jeez what is up with this guild that mom was in, was it made for the most powerful mages around or something? Whatever the case I'm about ready to call it a night a start looking in the morning. Yukino and I have enough jewels to make it for a few nights.
"Yukino I'm really getting tired of this, why don't we call it a night?"
"But Zeke we're so close. Can we at least ask one more person?"
"I have an idea, why don't you ask someone? I've already asked everyone we came up to even the ones you said would 'not turn you down they look like respectful people'."
"A-Alright I'll try." I hear her squeak it out and walk towards someone sitting down drinking what I supposedly guess is coffee.
OK that was a douche move I better stop her before she becomes a bumbling mess. She'll need some comforting after the rude response she'll get from this-.
"Thank you very much sir, have a nice day."
"Oh you gotta be kidding me."
"Zeke I know where to go now we just need to- are alright Zeke?"
"Yup. I'm fine, never better let's just go to the guild now while I rethink if god exists or not." I try gently to get out, but was obvious was holding back so much anger. I was obviously scaring Yukino because she was shaking in her boots.
"S-s-sure. I'll just lead the way. D-don't worry it should take to long." Yukino says while trying not to sound scared.
(Last time skip) 5 minutes later
As we finally made it to the entrance of the guild the whole rude people in the city started to make sense now as I saw the name of the guild. It also officially makes me question my mother's plans on having a child because I think she was expected a girl because there is no way I'm getting inside this guild.
"Mermaid heel."
