Don cried out, his knees cracked so hard against the ground that he found himself rolling. He felt something pop against his side, Cold water striking through his clothes and his hands. His hands slapping over his mouth as deep coughs began to wrack over his lungs. Tearing through his throat. Echoing over close walls, bouncing back cruelty of his pain. For hours it felt like he lay there. Without the comfort of his sickening medicine.

Finally his throat released its painful spasms. Don raised the back of his hand to wipe this eyes furiously of their burning streams, lowering down to wipe the taste of blood from his lips. For a split naïve second he thought to reach for his side and the medicine that would relieve his aching body.

His fingers twitched, a tired sigh from his lips and a tremor through his heart.

Now he knew where the popping sound had come from.

The sealing of his fate.

Don took the edge of his scarf, pressing it against his lips. Though he knew better then to imagine his Aniki had fallen after him.

He knew he was all alone.

All instinct told him to panic. And whatever that entailed. Screaming, running.

But he was smarter then that.

He knew better.

Don slowly raised his head. What he needed was to find a source of licorice root. If he could grind it up it and drink it. That was his first priority. No. First priority was to find safety,, someplace to hide.

Figure out where the hell he was at.

Don took a deep breath, reaching back over his samue to draw on his hood. He could already feel precious heat storing up. Spirits only knew how vital it was for him to stay warm. Which was hard enough as it is. He moved to a crouching position, his hand bracing against the ground to heave himself up to a standing position. Cold flat stone pressing into his bandaged hand-

Flat stone?

Don allowed the word to sink in. His hand running over the ground again. He was right. Flat stone. Perfectly cut. Sure the streets of Horyu City had been stone too (The parts of the city that could afford it) but even well made streets were cut up into smaller stone a bit uneven.

This ground was perfect.

Don raised his head slowly. For the first time since he 'collapsed' he raised his head.

The walls rose high above him Taller then another building he had seen. Though they didn't' reflect the sheen of wood he was used to. They were actually dull. Don pushed himself up to a standing position. Reaching his hand out. His fingers brushed against stone, not like the one he stood on. This was much rougher, but still flat. stacked on top of one another. There was a gap between each stone that seemed to be even more stone.

A city of Stone?

A sweet putrid smell reached his beak. Almost instantly his beak went to his sleeve. Sensing a irritation to throat. His eyes searched around for the source of the horrible smell to spot several metal tubes sitting along the alley. Black bags stacked around it, he didn't recognize the material they were made of. But to be honest, he didn't want to get close enough to find out. His eyes went back up the wall, there were several squares in the wall, shining as though made of glass. Some of them were brightly lit with a strange steady frame. His head titling back further to look at the sky-

Stars?

Where were the stars?

The sky a pitch inky black, dark gray clouds drifting over head. A light shining against him

Was the entire city lit? How many torches did they have here?!

Don looked back to the end of the alley. There was another though duller light at the end f the alley. Don reached up to tug on the edges of the hood. Before trailing down and fingering the blue cloth that was wrapped around his neck. The edge of it barely rose up past his vision. But it helped to keep the worst of the sticky smell away. He pressed the cloth to his mouth. Drawing in the minute smell that had indicated its previous wearer. Anything to stop the trembling in his legs

Aniki

Give me strength.

Donnie slowly moved closer to the edge. One hand going out to touch the corner. Slowly poking his head out.

He couldn't stop the throat irritating gasp that burst from his lips. Though by instinct, his hand going up to stifle the small coughs. Gratefully not as harsh as his last ones had been.

But no matter how painful his coughs, nothing could take the shock of that moment.

Buildings identical to the ones next to him lined up and down the large street. Rose up on stone steps and up to Grand wooden woods leading into buildings. The strange 'rode' reflecting to the other side of a black solid stone , Tall metal poles running up and down the street.

Street?

What the hell else could they be?

But that wasn't the strangest thing.

The strange metal poles were emitting light, well, some of them were. All hanging from the extra angle. Flickering and giving off little light. Btu it didn't' have the same consistency as fire. His eyes going down. There was another weird can thing. This one didn't' smell so bad, but maybe that was cause they weren't in that alley again. He reached out and brushed his fingers against the lid. It looked detachable-

The metal can suddenly jerked to the side, a form flying from it yowling and yelling loudly.

Don stumbled back, hands flying up to his face in a attempt to protect himself from such a horrible creature. His foot catching air and his body flying through the hair to land on solid ground with a crack. His head bouncing off of solid hard ground, his already darken vision bouncing and turning. The world turning numb around him other then the pain echoing from his head

A sound like screeching filled the air, wheel tearing through water and coming right for him-

Coming soon
