Chapter 2 – The Walk Through The Redwood Forest

Rin and I left the Kingdom and ended up walking in a forest of giant redwood trees, all the while I had to listen to her as she educated me in the Death thought, the name for our ability to instantly kill people. She has informed me that her Death thought and my own are slightly different. Hers can only be used when people are already near death. Mine can be used whenever I want, the problem being it consumes my physical energy.

" Rin is there anyone who can resist the Death thought?" I took out my journal and pencil which was part of the many supplies Rin and I stole from the stores on the way out of the kingdom, we figured it would be best not to let them go to waste.

"Yes Hiro there are, they are called the Daltra Immuna which means those who resist death" as Rin spoke I recorded her every word, having more information than your opponent is one of the many paths to victory, that's my belief.

"Any other information I should know" Rin had stopped by a river and started floating in mid-air; she had a playful happy look on her face and was watching fish jump out of the water.

"Yes they can kill anyone pure immortality, which would mean the other gods, you, and myself," she said it in a sort of annoyed tone as she didn't want to answer any more questions so I stopped.

Rin kept on playing with the fish and I was setting up camp I figured since Rin stopped we would be stopping here for the night.

"Hiro since you seem to have stopped asking questions I will ask mine," I looked over at her while I was setting up a tent she was now hanging upside down from a tree.

"So an all powerful god must ask her pet questions," I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Do you think I am childish?" She floated down from the tree and toward me; she looked at me with her eyes wide open and stared at me like a child.

"Honestly yes I do but do not think that because of that one flaw that I would respect you any less than I do" I stated staring right back at her, "why would you ask such a question?"

"Because I wanted to hear what you had to say on the subject, I knew you were thinking about me as to what I had no clue our connection has developed enough for us to hear each others thoughts."

"Well now I discover that not only do I give up part of my life but now that sanctuary and solitude of my mind" I wasn't really mad at her I if anything was pleased I have had enough solitude in my life, it was just I didn't really now how to express myself to her so I did what was natural and came off as mean.

"So your pleased with it then, you don't have to hide you emotions from me Hiro I can hear how you feel" she relaxed put herself back on the ground and started twirling my hair around her finger again.

I backed away from her and went back to my work; she kept staring at me as if expecting me to answer, as if I was some lovey-dovey fantasy tale character. I after an hour or two finished setting up camp: two separate tents near the fire, several small logs encircling the fire for Rin and I to sit on, a bucket of river water for drinking and one for washing up, and had several fish cooking over the fire.

"Hiro are you going to respond to me or sit on that log and stare into the fire all night" Rin said impatiently.

"I can't respond yet we just met and I have work to do" I grabbed one of the fish and went into my tent the last thing I heard was a loud crash and then Rin yelling some unintelligible words.
