5 hours after the dream. Theo walking through the forest. A cold wind passes by and the heat of the sun hasn't come yet. The cold morning sky and the faint smell of wet grass behind him from the Great Lake.
Walking through the forest, and running his hand against the trees as he passes by them, Theo looks ahead seeing a torn apart sign nailed to a half torn apart tree, reading in what looks like a knife carving" Stop now or be looted". Theo knowingly reads the sign, smiles and continues forward into unknown territory.
Theo comes to a halt when seeing a small opening in the forest. Nothing in plain sight, only silence fills the air. Theo raises his hand and speaks a word from his mouth" Break ". In front of Theo a white dome like-barrier appears into vision for a second then break into pieces like glass falling onto the grass, then evaporating into thin air.
Theo says happily walking to this now appeared campsite " home sweet home. Hmmmmm I guess she isn't back yet?" Theo seeing a dead campfire in the middle of the forest opening with a bit of charcoal left inside the piled up stone ring and a faint smell of wood burning left inside the air lingering. To Theo's left what looks to be a dark colored makeshift sleeping tent with wool blankets and hay as a bedding, scattered across inside. Looks like a bear was sleeping inside recently. Then to his right another makeshift tent but a light green, tinted color to it. There's a table inside the tent with a torn map and daggers keeping it down.
Theo walks toward the tent with the torn map and goes inside. Looking at the map of the world, the right way he can see six different names. And a few faded blue and red lines drawn across the map marking the territory regions, The names are: Sovereign Dynasty, kingdom of shah, Kingdom of Dastanar, Suzerainty legeia, The Exiles, Kingdom of jeakith. Being familiar with these factions, Theo looks closer to the map and seeing the dust left on the it and He blows away most of the dust that now fills the air, making Theo cough a bit and he stands there looking. Now Theo being able to see more, Theo can see names and letters written across the lines like: don't cross here, allied with these people with a Circle around the jeakith Territory. Confused Theo rubs his head " What has she been doing while I'll was gone"
Theo Hearing a light brush on the grass, turns around in a panic and puts his hand on his sword, that Theo grips lightly, and now slowly drawing the bloodied, stolen sword from the castle.
Now hearing what sounds like multiple shuffles in the soft grass around this area, looking forward seeing something silver reflecting off the rising suns ray, Theo creeping forward towards the silver shine, with his hand on the handle of the sword.
Before Theo can speak a fast motion leaps from behind the tree charging towards Theo. Theo surprised, backs up making him slide across the grass behind toward the map tent. Too slow, Theo closing his eyes, letting death take its toll, feeling a body launch him across the forest opening and hitting his back against a tree.
Theo in pain but feels a warmth over him as time passes. Opening one eye after the other, the glare of the sun shining in his eyes making him squint, then seeing a girl with long green soft hair, bright smile, and golden eyes says happily" its good to see you.......again, not dead this time"
"Brother"
