Making their way up the mountain, Alena stopped on the tip, looking around when she pointed to something in the distance, "see those lights?" she shouted over the rain, causing Mareo to squint and use his right hand as a shield, "those?" He said, looking back at her, "those lights are the outskirts of Windurst." Mareo looked at Alena, "What's Windurst?" She turned back to him, "it's a city, and they will be able to take us out of this storm." Looking down to the valleys below them, they began to flood, taking various amounts of shrubs and trees with them. "It looks like we have no choice but to stay here until the rain stops…" Alena said, sitting on the ground, but Mareo stood, looking at the light. "Does it rain on your world?" Alena asked, looking up to him, he nodded, "yep, it rains a lot where I live…for almost half of the year…" This surprised Alena, "oh, I had no idea, there must be lots of Rain Spirits where you live…"
Mareo laughed,
"Nope…We don't have any Spirits or anything like that…its
just the weather." She looked off into the horizon, "do you miss
your world?" Mareo sat down in front of her, and nodded, "yes…I
miss my world but at the same time…" He looked away from her,
"sometimes I don't really miss it at all…" He sighed, "There
were lots of thing happening in my life…Things that don't seem to
really matter now…" Alena leaned towards him, "like what?"
Mareo turned to her, shrugging his shoulders,
"Stuff with my
family, a few years ago my father divorced my mother and was trying
to make amends to the whole thing…" She shook her head, "…your
father left your mother?" He put his head down low, but with that;
the sun began to show through the clouds lighting the world around
them. He suddenly got to his feet saying; "we should to get to
Windurst…while its still nice…" With that, he started walking
in the direction Alena pointed to earlier.
She stood watching Mareo make his way down the steep hill, "I had no idea that his parents separated…" Watching him jump from rock to rock, "I can't even begin to imagine how hard it was…especially since I had no parents to call my own…" "Hey Alena!" Mareo shouted from down in the ravine, he made swung his right arm, "lets go!" Breaking her out of her train of thought, Alena suddenly jumped from the top and fell, landing a few feet away from him. They started walking towards the city, after walking for a about 30 minutes, "it seemed really close when we were up on the hill…" Mareo said to himself as he followed Alena, "Its really close…" Stopping, she pointed to a massive forest, "See all of that?" Mareo nodded, "That's Windurst." With that, a smile grew across Mareo's face and he started walking again. Coming into a small valley, with a few trees breaking the slope of the hill, they walked towards the forest. Starting through the forest, Alena suddenly slowed her pace, "Alena…what are you doing?" She looked around, then up to the trees where something large jumped from the branch, making it sway, littering leaves. "We are not alone here…"
