"Are the monsters real? Yes, just look in the mirror"
Casual walk through the forest.
Very neat
Calming
Refreshing
.
And long.
And boring.
And tiring after 3 hours.
Aries wasn`t prepared for that right on the start.
Nor he was used to such distances.
Sure, a quick run to the bus.
When you`re late to school
Or when someone steals your bike , yes.
You walk or run for a while
But not like this.
-How much longer do I have to walk. Isn`t there anything else for me to do-
Aries stood next to a tree for a small break.
SOON
-that`s good to hear- Aries was a little on the edge after the short and not very useful information
He moved AGAIN through the woods towards the
Imaginary and not sure east direction.
But sure enough, SOON he saw the end of the trees.
Well a break in them at least.
A dirt road was in front of him.
-finally- he went on his knees. -CIVILISATION -
-OPTIMISM IS GOOD. – goddess added to that – YOU`LL NEED IT.
-BUT FIRST OF ALL, STAY QUIET FOR NOW -
~what …. Wait wait what is that supposed to mean. ~Aries stuttered as he stopped.
And decided not to leave the actually nice forest he was in.
-OH IM NOT PUSHING YOU – calm voiced message in his head,
YOU WILL DO IT ON YOUR OWN.
~I don't like that even more now.~

~what is that ~ Aries imidietly got interested
-A HORSE CARRIAGE-
He came to just the edge of the forest to see what was going on.
Some wagon was coming down the road.
~huh. What do you know, some people still own these things ~
~wait you can hear my thoughts ????~ he immiedietly got embarrased and confused
-YES, BUT THAT IS FOR LATER, KEEP FOCUS ON THE ROAD- she quited him down
Wagon was pulled by a single horse.
And the horse was not in a good condition.
One of the 3 people on the vechicle was violently whipping the horse.
Something was wrong ~Aries thought and instinctively clenched his sword.
He honestly didn`t realise that and forgot he had it in his hands.
Something was in fact chasing the wagon.
Some small creatures with wooden things were running behind them.
~Midgets with spears? ~ confused even more Aries.
Said midgets were way too fast for normal people.
They were moving weirdly, like they never learned how to run properly,
Yet it was better than any athlete.
-I CAN SEE YOU`RE CONFUSED ABOUT THIS. THEY`RE NOT "MIDGETS " –
Goddess said slightly offended.
~so who are they?~ Aries asked stepping back a little
I THINK THE BETTER QUESTION IS "WHAT ARE THEY " -
