We ran outside. "There is a slight possibility that Wolfie is either dead or with someone else." Bird Master panted heavily. "Welp, if it's a 50/50 chance, then what's the harm in going to find him?" I replied. I put my fingers in my mouth and whistled, calling in Pyro. I fell to the ground. "Why did we have to run?"
"I actually don't know." Ocarina Kid's response was broken up.
"Well shit. Better to find out soon. We'll take it on ground, these two can search by horse, and I bet you can just use your bird there to search as well."
"Yeah. Sounds like a plan."
Meanwhile, Wolfie and his gang are wandering through the forest.
"Well," Atticka sighed, "I don't think that we're going to be any further than this." She stopped and sat down. Wolfie looked over to her and rolled his eyes. "Come on, Atticka, if we make it through, I'm sure that we'll find her."
"Or, we can stop and signal them."
"Okay, that might work as well."
"Guys," Jaybird nervously voiced, "I'm picking up a sign here." He held a device really high. "Three o'clock, two people comin in, about seventeen meters (~55 feet) away from us." He looked very tense. "Well, let's keep moving in. We can hide in the brush if we have to."
Back to our main hero…
I vividly looked left and right. Still no sign of Wolfie. I really hope he isn't dead…
Hey, I just spotted a group of people. Want me to land near them?
Well, not to close Pyro. I don't want to scare them off.
Alright then.
She landed softly, allowing me to hop off and investigate. Master, there are five people nearby. I sense one of them being one of your ancestors. "Perfect," I mumbled. I walked forwards, and crouched deliberately near them… No...Son of a….
I heard them talking. "Well, I think we're at loss here. It's more than likely those people are bandits." Jaybird said, his shaky voice recognizable. I gulped. They continued down a set path, when they all looked around when a beep went off. I nearly jumped. Ah, shit! Jaybird took his detector, didn't he? Gods damn it. I should've known… "S-someone's near us…" My sister nearly wailed. Wolfie looked at her. "No, no, I don't think they're near us...I think they're right by us." They all frantically looked around, which caused me to crouch even lower. "Shit. Fi, what should I do?"
Do not approach them. I shall warn Ocarina Kid and Bird Master.
I nodded, and she flew out of my sword. I kept low grounds and tried to not make a sound. Wolfie had his sword out, which made me think that he was certainly a good blocker. Aaron, focus. He'll spot you if you don't be care- I stepped on a stick. Ah shit. They all spinned towards me, cause Wolfie to lunge. I rolled on my right side, which lead him to believe that he was just imagining….I hope. Fi returned. Master Aaron, they have acknowledged my warning. I nodded. He knows I'm here, Fi. What should I do?
Considering that fact, I would say just reveal yourself. It's no use hiding, unless you want to be hurt.
I sighed. Good point. I slowly stood up, as the others gasped. "L….what the…" Atticka's voice sounded. I stood up all the way to find that they all made a camp here.
"Aaron?! You're...you're alive!"
"Yup."
She ran up to me and hugged me. "I was so worried!" A smile reached my face. "Well, then here you go. But what the hell are you doing all the way out here?" She backed up. "Oh, we came out here to restore a friends memory." She pointed towards Wolfie, who just stared. "You...you're Aaron?"
"Yup."
"Well, your sister here wouldn't shut up about how worried she got. In case you just wanted to know."
I laughed. "Of course. She is the type to worry. Anyway, I'll be taking these four back, and you'll have to come with me."
"Why?"
"We need you, Wolfie."
"Oh. Well, I assume that was you who was in the brush?"
"Didn't want to scare you all off."
They all laughed.
A few hours later, we all dropped off by the castle and found our way to the quarters. Atticka looked back at us, with a small light of sadness reflecting in her eyes. Wolfie smiled and waved good-bye to her, with her gently smiling back. I turned around to see him looking back at me. "I have a sneaking suspicion she has a crush on me." I shrugged. "More than likely. She's easy to manipulate." I then looked around, and grabbed him to the point to where our foreheads nearly touched. "Hey, if that is the case, I want you to take good care of her when you're alone with her. She's so easy to kill." He looked at me confused. "What...what do you mean?"
"Well, she's not the strongest, or even at times, the brightest."
"Yeah, but...easy to kill?"
"She's a fool. I'm not kidding. She's smart, but to an extent."
"Ah, okay. Also, why did you say, 'if that's the case?' It's kinda obvious she does have a crush...it's just…"
"Gut feeling? Yeah, I get that too. Come'n the others are waiting."
I pulled on his tunic. We slowly made our way to Pyro, who was waiting patiently. Aaron, this one… I sighed, hopping up from her wing. "Here." I said, letting my hand down to pull him up. He stared at me. "Are you serious?" He asked. I nodded. as he hopped up, a little voice came from my hat. I then remember about the fairy. Please, just hold on a little longer… Wolfie looked back at me. "What...what was that?" I shook my head. "I didn't hear anything." He shrugged and turned around as we lifted off. Oh thank you… I flew to the Tomb to see if everyone else had gathered up there. As I got there, it appeared so. I was greeted by Bird Master, who had a grim look on his face. "Hey, Aaron, did you notice something...rather odd?" He asked. I looked at him. "What?" He gulped. "I...can't remember anything past falling asleep. No one here can." I shrugged. "Maybe there'll be a way later on." Ocarina Kid looked up. "Did anyone hear that?"
"No…"
"Shhhhh! There it is again…"
We all listened closely. I heard a very faint scream from above. "Ah, shit. I'll go see." I hopped upon Pyro again and flew up. There was a fish looking person flying about, from a giant...murky monster who kept roaring. "Heeeeelp!" She (I guess) screamed. I assume she spotted me when she started to fly towards me. I was stunned. Shit, Fi...help me out here...can you analyze him? She responded. Yes master. I shall see what to do.
