Limitless Wandering

Aiko nodded. "Lead the way Sartre!"

"Me?! Why me?"

"Because from past experience, Aiko has no sense ofdirection and gets lost easily..." Kyoshi said smugly.

Aiko chuckled."Yep...it's true..."

"Fine, I'll go..." Sartre wondered which direction to go. He took out his compass. "Why dont we go north?"

"Any direction is fine by me...." Aiko said. 'I wonder which way North is.....?'

 

Serifina was wondering the same thing to herself, "sounds good." she said, glad he knew where to go at least.

 

*everybody walking*

"I think I see a couple of houses a few miles from here...."

"A few? Are you sure you don't mean a couple hundred miles?" Kyoshi taunted.

"Kyoshi. you're making me nervous...." Aiko whispered.

"Why?"

"Because, my legs are starting to kill me...."

"Sucks for you..."

"Ohh...screw this..." Aiko stated. She climbed a tree and opened her wings to full length. "I'm going gliding...."

 

Serifina jumped, startled from Aiko flying (she couldn't see clearly what happened). "Did Aiko just take off flying?" she asked the two guys, confused. She looked up and saw something in the sky that she took to be Aiko, "Hells, she scared me." she laughed awkwardly. "So where did you guys say you saw houses?"

 

Kyoshi stared at Serifina. "Okay......Sartre said the houses were a few miles away from where we are standing....and yes, Aiko took off...."

"I'm right here!!" Aiko yelled a few feet away. "there's too much forage to glide.."

"Then why dont you fly in the sky?" Kyoshi asked.

"I've got a better idea." Aiko came out of the tree. and chanted a few words. Green tendrils came up from the ground and built a large sturdy wagon made of tough wood. "Now,we'll get the the place faster. She whistled to 3 nearby stags. She roped them together and tied them to the front of the wagon. "There, everybody on board and I'll keep watch from above...see if anyting happens or if there's trouble up ahead..."

"It's about time you used your head..."Kyoshi smiled.

"Who's faster, you or the stags?" Sartre wondered. 'Wonder if she's able to keep up?'

"i am of course!" Aiko said proudly.

 

Serifina laughed to herself, Wow, trying to keep up with her is hard whenyou can't see well... oh well! she walked over to the wagon, "Nice, that will be helpful." she commented.

 

Aiko looked back. "I dont think we need the stags......we need more speed...." Aiko said nervously.

"Why do u say that?" Kyoshi asked.

"Demons are on our trail...."

"We can kill them easily...."

"Why waste our energy now!! we may need it later on..." Aiko shouted. She untied the stags and set them loose. The stags ran like mad. Aiko turned into her dragon form and strapped the wagon onto her back. "We don't have much time...Sartre, Kyoshi..now would be a very good time to leave!!!!"

"Coming!" Kyoshi and Sartre both hopped onto the wagon and held onto the sides.

 

Serifina swore under her breath and followed them into the caridge quickly. "Great, demons. That's just perfect." she fell onto a seat, hard, and held onto the side. "Be careful Aiko!" she yelled out at her.

 

Aiko grunted. She crouched and sprung high into the air. She extended her wings and beat against the air carrying her aloft. She looked behind her. 'Good, no demons in sight...good riddance...' Aiko lazily flew around.

The demons flew right behind her. One of them threw an acidic solution at her.

Aiko looked back. She shouted in Serifina's, Kyoshi's, and Sartre's heads, 'Hold on to something or you're going to fall out!!' She then rolled and turned around. She blasted a couple of flames towards her enemy. they dodged them without ease. Aiko flew faster. The demons gained speed.

Sartre took out his sniper. "i'll kill as many as I can.." He aimed and shot a demon in the head. It had no effect.

"Idiot! Man-made object have no effect on any demon!" Kyoshi yelled against the wind.

"Well, Sorry!!!" Sartre yelled back.
'STOP YOUR USELESS BICKERING OR I'LL THROW YOU TWO OFF!!!" Aiko threatened menacingly.

 

Serifina held on tightly enough to make her knuckles turn white. Oh no, oh no, I better not throw up. she thought franticly. forcing herself to look out the, once they were rightside up, she tried to find one of the demons in her veiw. Finally she caught sight of something flying that she knew wasn't Aiko and she opened her palm to let out a stream of air and light fire at creature. please hit the thing.

 

Sartre and Kyoshi immediately shutted up.

Aiko turned back again and blasted more flames towards the demons. One flame hit its markand the demon went down. She flew higher and spewed out an acidic composition from her mouth. It missed. the 4 demons left all shot out flames at the same time. 'Oh crap....hang on!!!' Aiko went into a steep dive, and before reaching the trees she flew forwards again, faster this time. the demons were soon far away. 'That was close.....how's everybody?'

"how's everybody...well, besides the fact that i can't feel my body, I head hurts from getting smacked in the side duriing the dive, my arm is broken, and my leg is sprained...I'm fine. How about you Aiko?" Kyoshi said sarcastically.

Aiko didn't say a word.

Sartre merely grumbled. "Nothing bad,just a sprained ankle."

 

Serifina slumped in her seat and closed her eyes, trying to get a hold of herself again. Her breath was a little frantic but she covered that up. "G,great flying Aiko, and I mean that seriously." she looked at the two guys, "Did you really break your arm?" she asked Kyoshi, "I can make a splint if you did. And you should both rest your legs if you sprained them." she advised them, keeping her mind off getting sick or falling unconsious

 

Kyoshi nodded. "That would really help..."

Sartre said, "Way ahead of you...my ankles a little better..."

Aiko had already changed back to her normal self. "It hurts doesn't it?"Aiko smiled.

"You are a reckless flier...did you know that??!!" Kyoshi groaned.

"Yes, and I'm proud of it too!" Aiko smiled!

 

Serifina nodded and gently straighted his arm. She bent it into the splint position and directed air at him to hold it in place. "There, good enough until we can get you to a doctor." she said, sitting back agaisnt her seat again. "And what now? Are we walking or what?" she held onto the side again, feeling her balance failing.

 

Kyoshi got up and shook his head.

Sartre also got up. "My leg's feels better enough to walk. Do we still go no-" he stopped midsentence. "There's the village!!" he said excitedly, pointing.

Aiko follwed where he was pointing. "Finally!" Aiko said exasperatedly. "Come on, Kyo,do you want to go to the doctor or not??!!"

"I'm coming!!!" Kyoshi mumbled.

 

Serifina waited for them to be out of the caridge before following. She grabbed the side of the caridge to keep from falling down. "oops." she muttered, closing her eyes as the world seemed to be spinning. After a second she opened her eyes and straighted up, hoping the others were too interested in the village to notice her nearly falling on her face.

 

Aiko helped Kyoshi get to the nearest doctor. "It's probably here somewhere....found it!" Aiko yelled happily. They went inside.

Sartre waited for Serifina. Luckily, he didnt notice her nearly falling. He turned towards her. "Should we follow them or should we book a room for a day or two, till Kyoshi's leg is better? " Sartre asked Serifina. He looked towards the village. He had an eerie feeling.

 

"Uh, probably we should book a room, or actully two is better." Serifina added, as an after thought. "Lead the way." she gestured towards the village in general, knowing she wouldn't know a wall from a door and it was better to let him show the way.

 

Sartre nodded. He walked down the hill towards the nearest hotel. As he walked up to the desk, Sartre had the feeling he was being watched. He turned around. A couple were eyeing them warily, then turned away quickly. Another also stared at him. 'What is wrong with these people?!' he thought. He walked up to the desk and booked two rooms. As he signed the forms, the concierge eyed him.

Aiko and Kyoshi also noticed that people around them were staring at them. As Kyoshi was lying comfortably in the hospital bed, Aiko noticed that the sky seemed greenish, and the clouds were pink. 'what the hell is going on......?' Aiko wondered.

 

Serifina, on the other hand, didn't notice anything, except the feeling of being watched. But she couldn't accuretly tell if people were watching them so she put it down to the posion. "Can we get to our rooms now?" she asked, wanting to be alone for a little.
