As I began to wake up I could see the sunlight coming through the windows. Turning to my side I saw Gaze was on the floor sleeping. Tapping his shoulder I said, "wake up it's time to search more of the city". Gaze began to groan and complain. With a sigh, I raised my hand "you have five seconds". With another sigh, I began to count "five four three two one". Gaze didn't get up after a moment I slapped him. Gaze woke up to me smiling at him saying "good morning". Gaze looked at me like I was crazy. After a moment Gaze sighed "did you have to do that" he said while rubbing his cheek. Grinning at him I said, "I told you to wake up". Standing up I saw Gaze still sitting on the floor. Putting my hand out I said, "come on let's see what we can find". Gaze stood up moving his hand from his cheek there was a red mark there."Sorry about the slap" feeling bad I turned around. "Let's go," Gaze replied, patting my shoulder.
Walking out of the building the light seems brighter today "want to go see if there is any more meat". Gaze smiled "yeah maybe there are more people". Walking the paths Gaze began to hum a song. After a bit, I began to hum along with him. I began to wonder what song Gaze was humming "hey what is the song you're humming?". Gaze turned his head to me "I have no clue I just made it up". With a chuckle, I replied, "It's not bad, I like it". Gaze smiled and began humming again walking past buildings. I saw signs of people being there. They were small but it was a sign. Turning to Gaze he was still just humming he didn't notice it. So I tried to ignore it. The closer we got to the archways the clearer it was that someone was there. Tapping Gaze's shoulder "you can tell that someone else was here" Gaze pulled my arm and pointed up ahead of the path. That was where the arches were. There was a box in front of both of our paths.
Gaze and I looked at each other Gaze asked "should we open them?". Walking up to the box on my path "why not it can't be bad". Watching Gaze walk up to his box I could tell he was worried. I shouted "I'll open mine first" to stop him from worrying. Watching him smile I opened the box. Looking inside the box I saw two long boxes and an envelope. Looking over at Gaze "it's okay to open the box". As he opened up the box he pulled out two long boxes and an envelope. Grabbing what was in the box I walked over to him. Sitting down next to him "it looks like we got the same thing". Gaze opened up one of his boxes inside was a plain and old-looking sword.
While he looked at the boxes I took a look at the envelope it said 'to Zane a few gifts to help you get on your feet and live well'. Turning back to Gaze he had opened the other box inside was a belt with back gems in it "looks nice, seems like we both got gifts". Gaze jumped up and put on the belt turning to me "open yours quickly I want to see what you got". Opening the first box there was a sword the same as the one Gaze got. Gaze kneeled next to me "looks like we got the same sword". Turning to look at him "yeah maybe we got the same belt too". Turning back to the other box I opened it to find a single left-handed glove with a black gem like the ones in Gaze's belt.
Trying on the glove it fits pretty well let's see if there is anything else. Looking at the letter I saw a little arrow pointing to turn the paper over. Turning over the letter I saw another poorly drawn map that said 'you should head here and make sure to bring the gifts that I got you.' on the bottom it said 'ps don't let Gaze kill anything there!' folding the paper I tried to ignore that last bit. "I got a map to someplace outside the city," I said looking at Gaze who was still looking at his belt. Laughing at Gaze "come on let's try and clean up these swords".
As we walked back I kept looking at the sword. It felt so light in my hands like it was just a stick. Looking at Gaze he was playing with his sword "hey be careful we still need to clean them". Watching him turn to me and stick his tongue out at me. With a grin "get over here you brat" I began to chase him. As we were running Gaze kept yelling "try and catch me" we both began to run out of breath as we reached the building where we slept. Both of us were panting in front of our home Gaze began to say "you want to keep going" I began to stand up. Panting I said "let's just end it here I need a break" leaning against a wall. Gaze replied "Fine, we can take a break only because you're tired".
Walking into the building we both collapsed on the floor I told Gaze "let's rest before we clean the swords". After a good five minutes, we started to get up from the ground. Walking over to my bag I pulled out my old shirt. Turning to Gaze "we can use our old clothes to clean them!" watching gaze pull out his old shirt it looked a lot nicer and in less bad shape. As we began to clean the blades I could see Gaze looking at the blade of his sword. Tapping his shoulder "you like the gift don't you". Watching him turn to me with a smile he replied "yeah it's a great blade" I smiled. I went back to cleaning "hey let's follow the map outside tomorrow" Turning to Gaze he replied "sure it sounds great" looking out the window, I saw the sun was going down.
I shouted "time to go to bed" as I stood up. Gaze let out a whiny "I don't want to". With a sigh, I walked over to him and replied "if you wake up late I'll slap you again". He jumped up saying "okay okay" smiling at him and we both put our blades down. We sat down against the wall and got ready to sleep. "Good night" I whispered to Gaze as he fell asleep. Letting out a sigh I realized we didn't eat anything today and didn't get any food. I kept thinking about how we would have to go look for more food. Then another thought came to life: who left those gifts for us? After a minute I gave up and just tried to go to sleep. As I began to doze off I saw a little light right before I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
As I was sleeping I awoke to an earthquake looking at Gaze. He was woken up by it as well. We both rushed over to the door outside the building we were in was in the air. After looking around I realized that almost all the buildings were in the air. Then a red light appeared that covered everything in a red hue. A loud noise roared over everything. Looking up I saw six didn't animals in the sky. Looking at Gaze he was looking out at something. Turning to see what he was looking at I saw the paths we came from filled with animals coming to the city. I saw some of the animals get thrown over to the wall. I thought that we know how the meat got there.
As the animals got to the city the six creatures in the sky flew down attacking the animals. Watching them fly in and attack out of nowhere the sound of waves rang through the sky turning. I saw one of the flying creatures fly by the monsters leaving a trail of water behind it. Looking closely I saw a person. On the back of that creature holding up a sword. Turning to a different one I saw a trail of fire burning the animals on the back of the creature was another person holding up a staff. Quickly looking at each of the creatures I saw they all had a person on their back. Suddenly all six of the creatures flew down underneath a building. Another roar rang through the city. Looking up I saw a giant dragon flying over us covered in black markings. As it flew away the six creatures began to chase the animals. After an hour of the battle, the red light disappeared and the six creatures flew away right after me Gaze looked at each other and slowly everything became fuzzy. Then we blacked out for the rest of the night.
