As they left the city they said their goodbyes and began to march onward to Helios the city in the sky. As they continued to walk Thomas looked at them as he asked "Which way?" They looked at him as they said "We only picked the place we didn't map out how to get there." Thomas looked at them as he said "I'm used to winging things but this is on a whole new level." Lily looked at him as she said "We trust you'll pick us the quickest route." Thomas sighed as he said, "I'll do my best but I wouldn't get your hopes up." Thomas pulled out the map as he unfolded it and laid it on the ground as he asked "Was the map always this massive?" Lily looked at him as she said "You didn't unfold it all the way when we were at the inn." Thomas crouched down and activated speak in tongues and began to look at the map. He mumbled, "So if we're here and we're trying to get here then the best route would be here."
Thomas handed Lily the map as he said "Alright I know where we're going." Lily looked at him as she asked "Where?" Thomas looked at her as he said "You obviously said Helios earlier." Lily looked at him as she said "I know we're going there but what route are we taking." Thomas looked at her as he said "That's my little secret." Lily folded the map and handed it to Thomas as she said "Then it's going to be a surprise?" Thomas put the map back in the satchel as he said "Yeah it's a surprise and I'm pretty sure I picked the quickest route." Scarlett looked at him as she said "Then what are we waiting around for shouldn't we keep moving?" Thomas looked at her as he mumbled "She seems oddly excited about all this." Thomas walked past her as he said "If your that enthusiastic we might as well get a move on." Scarlett looked at him as she said "Right." They continued to walk until the sun began to set as Thomas looked at them and said "Looks like we should start making camp."
Lily looked at Thomas as she said "You go get firewood and see if you can find anything edible." Thomas looked at her as he asked "Why do I have to?" Lily looked at him as she said "We're gonna pitch the tents because none of us can smell food like you can." Thomas looked at her as he dropped his book bag and said "Fine I'll go but only because I really don't want to be shocked." Lily looked at him as she said "It might not shock you." Thomas looked at her as he asked "Then what's the point in giving me a command of it might not work." Lily looked at him as she said "I never said it wouldn't work it might just burn you." Thomas began to walk into the forest as he said "Oh joy that's so much better." Thomas disappeared into the forest as he started to sniff the air. As he looked around he mumbled, "I gotta find food and firewood." Thomas continued to walk deeper into the forest as he looked at the sky and said "It's gonna be night soon I better find food first since wood is an easy find."
Thomas closed his eyes and began to concentrate on his sense of smell as he said "Smells like fruit and a few animals." Thomas began to walk in the direction of the fruit as he said "I won't have to search for the fruit like I will an animal." As Thomas found the tree he looked up at it as he said "Apple?" Thomas climbed up the tree as he grabbed one and bit into it. As Thomas ate it he said, "Can't be an apple it's way too spicy." Thomas looked at the tree as he said "It's just a tad Spivey but other than that it's edible." Thomas climbed the tree as he began to fill the satchel with fruit. Thomas looked around as he said, "I guess I better find those animals." Thomas hopped out of the tree and began to run towards the smell as he said "Animals come out come out wherever you are." As Thomas got closer to the smell he stopped moving for a moment and then began to walk towards it. Thomas continued to walk slowly up to a tree as he said "I know you're around here." Thomas continued to smell the air until he saw a few bunnies.
Thomas looked at them as he said "If I'm quick enough I might be able to catch them." Thomas looked at the bunnies as he got into a running stance and said "Ready set go." Thomas jumped out from behind the tree and grabbed one of his blades as he threw it at the bunny. As Thomas reached for his other dagger he said "That's one piece of juicy meat secured." Thomas looked at the other bunny as he threw his dagger at it. Thomas grabbed his blades and the two bunnies as he said "Looks like my jobs just about done." Thomas set the bunny's bodies down as he started to pick up some branches off the ground as he yawned and said "I could use a nap right about now." After picking up some branches Thomas walked back over to the dead bunnies as he picked them up and teleported back to the camp. As Thomas appeared Lily looked at him as she asked "What did you find?"
Thomas set the two dead bunnies down and began to take the fruit out of the satchel as he said "I got some meat and spicy fruit like apples."Lily looked at him as she said "Then we can make a stew." Thomas looked at her as he said "Don't we need a pot for a stew?" Lily walked over to her bag as she pulled a pot out and said "We have one." Lily looked at him as she asked "Are you able to find water?" Thomas sighed as he said, "Just give me the pot." Thomas looked around as he began to sniff the air again. Thomas began to run off in another direction as he said "I'll be back in a moment." Scarlett watched as he ran off as she asked "Shall I start the fire?" Lily looked at her as she said "Yeah we should have the fire started by the time he gets back." Lily looked at Scarlett as she asked "What do you think about him?" Scarlett stared at Lily as she said "I'm thankful to have met him." Lily looked at her as she asked "What do you mean you're thankful?"
Scarlett stared at her as she said "If it wasn't for him some other adventure would've come to kill me." Lily looked at her as she asked "How did you meet him?" Scarlett looked at her as she said "We met in a dungeon." Lily looked at her as she asked "What dungeon?" Scarlett stared at her as she said "It was near the city didn't he tell you?" Lily stared at her as she asked "What dungeon?" Scarlett looked at her as she said "It was a dungeon by the sea and he shown up and killed everyone there and made a deal with me." As Scarlett said this Thomas appeared with a pot full of water and a wooden spear with three fish on it as he said "I'm back, so what I miss?" Lily looked at him as she asked "Is it true you went to a dungeon?" Thomas stared at Lily as he mumbled "How'd she find out." Thomas looked at Lily as he said "Looks like you found out huh?" Lily looked at him as she asked "Was it super dangerous?" Thomas stared at her as he pulled out the cloak from the satchel and threw it at Lily as he said "I'm sure Scarlett can tell you the rest of the story."
Lily looked at Scarlett as she said "Please tell me the story." Thomas watched them as he mumbled, "They didn't even get the flame started?" Thomas grabbed one of the branches as he said "Here we go." Thomas began to concentrate on his hand as he said "Warm thoughts." As Thomas held the branch it suddenly busted into flames and quickly turned to ash. Thomas stared at Lily and Scarlett as he asked "Can I get a hand with this?" Scarlett walked over and grabbed the stick as she lit the tip of it and walked back over to Lily to finish telling the story. Thomas set the pot on the now burning wood as he laid back and stared at the sky. Thomas sat there staring at the sky while they made stew and Scarlett and Lily told their stories on how they met Thomas.
After they were both down telling their stories Thomas sat up as he said "Why are you all talking about the fighting I did?" Thomas stared at Lily as he said "Your story is pretty much after you met me, besides you met me in a cage." Thomas laid back down as he said "Since we're waking up bright and early we might as well sleep now and prepare for the long journey ahead of us."
