„ungrateful, selfish, rude – it's just what humans are. Unless we`re scared.
Then in a moment we are the most gracious being on the planet"
Aries woke up after some time.
Not in the middle of the road
But in the shade of a pine tree nearby.
His head felt lighter than usual
Like after a fever or a hot day.
He pulled himself to sitting position.
Next to him was laying the man he fought for.
-oh. I see you`re awake - female voice from next to him.
~Goddess ? ~ he was still a little confused.
He turned around after a second he realized that it wasn`t her this time.
- oh. Umm. Sorry. – Aries quickly lost his tongue.
Quite embarrassing for him to think she wasn`t even there
-no worries. I can understand your head might be not right still – woman calmly said.
- My name is Mia. – she sat down next to the man.
He was in bad shape.
Right shoulder full of blood and leftover clothing used as bandages.
- this is Liam. – she said with sadness in her voice. – what is yours. –
-after all, I would like to know the name of the one who saved us. –
~that sounds….. a little too much of praise ~
Not like Aries didn't like that
-ummm . I`m Aries – He responded shortly.
- Nice to meet you.
Mia wasn`t sure what to answer to that.
Not the common way of greeting for her.
Aries took back his hand.
~right. Not my world anymore.~ he reminded himself.
- I know this might be .. personal. But where are you from ? –
Aries was frozen in his mind.
He can`t say the REAL answer here.
What to do
What to do.
-JUST SAY YOU`RE FROM THE WEST. – goddess gave the answer to his ear.
Aries startled again jumped up a little.
-umm are you okey? it`s not that important. – she said confused a bit.
- no no no. im fine.- he started to try and get out of awkward zone.
- im from west. I mean west side. –
~please tell me this will work~
PROBABLY.
- oh. You`re getting close to the border for a man from inside the country.
-Heh . Yeah I know. – he has no idea.
HMMM SHE`S GETTING TOO CURIOUS.
CHANGE THE TOPIC.
~easy peasy....~ not to Aries it seems.
-How`s his shoulder. - Aries pointed to Liam.
- I think he`ll manage. It seems to be.... Not fatal. But he should get to the city fast.
-Probably. Where are you heading?. –
-well we were going to Havenmoon but– slightly suggested the driver. Dead driver and the horse.
THAT`S PROMISING. YOU NEED TO GO THERE TOO.
- what a coincidence. Im going there too. – Aries tried to keep up the conversation
- I can guess that much. There isn`t much further from here –
- perfect . – Mia stood up and tried to get the attention – maybe they can help us –
Aries smiled lightly. The horses stopped.
Kind man and his wagon, even though there wasn`t a lot of space fit Liam and Mia in.
Aries sat next to the driver and they went forward. To the unknown world.
