Chereads / Apocalyptic Kings System / Chapter 21 - Heading Towards Town

Chapter 21 - Heading Towards Town

We sat around the fire talking about the fight, that was all pretty much until they asked about my time in the dungeon and pre-Catastrophe. It went as good as you might expect with questions about my life then and how things used to be before the system and stuff like that.

"We had these machines we called vehicles that could take us from place to place faster than we could walk or run," I said as they were transfixed on the idea of not walking or running anywhere.

"What else did you as about this transportation? Did you not say there were more forms of it?" Jen asked, the curious ball of joy was just so pleasent to be around, I could not, not answer her.

"Yes, there were air vehicles that were called airplanes and the other we called boats. Now that I think of it, don't you have or use boats?" I answered her question and then asked one in return because I got curious.

"Yes, we do have water transportation but nothing like what the big cities have," Cassie said. "There not the best but we make due and they are better than using logs."

This type of random conversation kept on for another hour until the girls started to wake up only finding me not underneath them and started to panic and call out my name.

After calming them down and bringing them over to meet the group. I introduced both Sasha and Sarah to bunch who stood there in shock again.

When I looked back at them I saw their eyes looked a bit dull so I just slowly waved my hands back and forth a little infront of them a little to get their attention again. After waving my hands infront of them they all slowly regained that light in their eyes they lost.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!!" The 3 human girls yelled simultaneously while Bark had to cover his ears.

Those blank looks turned to confusion then to shock and finally to suprise. They couldn't believe what they saw, first is was a man litteraly straight out of one of their dreams. Then these two women who they only saw from a distance now stand before them as 20/10 bombshells that anyone would die for.

Bark probably didn't have the brain power to actually deal with anything right now and decided to accept it. He looked to the girls and raised his voice so they would hear him, "I think they were trying to introduce themselves. Could you please introduce yourselves again."

After hearing the man speak politely and kindly they agreed.

"Yes we can," Said Sarah.

"I can go first then. Hi, I'm Sasha. Hi, I'm Sarah." Both made it short and simple and didn't say to much for fear of there reactions.

The group reciprocated the greeting and introduced themselves. After that was settled they all sat by the fire, Mike, Sasha and Sarah on one side and Jen, Cassie, Sydney and Bark on the other.

They sat there for hours until the sun started going down and the forrest coming alive. After hours of talking and getting to know each other and their situations they all agreed to have a guard or two on watch and rotate throughout the night.

"It's looking like its about to get lively around here," Bark said serious tone indicating his knowledge of the area and its inhabitants.

"Yeah I think we should call it a night and try to get some sleep. In the morning we can all start to headback to the village and introduce you to the elder," Cassie said.

"Ok, *Yawn* I think we are gonna get some shut eye, if you need to take watch wake me up, I'll be over there," I pointed towards a small cove made from roots to imitate a cave.

"We'll be over there," Cassie pointed to a similar but slightly bigger cave.

"We will be over there, Syd and I will take first watch if that is ok with you?" Cassie asked.

"Yeah that's fine just if anything really seems off to wake me up ok." I said before getting a thumbs up and wave.

The shining rays of the sun hit my eyes with full intensity. I awoke slowly, I stared up at the ceiling of the cave waiting for the morning groggyness to subside.

A few minutes have passed and I started getting up but not before gently removing my girls from my chest. I stood up and stretched my sore body, I was ready for anything... well, almost anything.

I walked out from the root cave heading over to the fire that is slowly going out. I tossed some sticks into the fire careful not to smother it to get the flames back up and roaring again. I then pulled out some meat from my hunt before that side quest popped up and ended up here.

The meat I took out was convenintly processed after the completion of the side quest or before, I don't know. I just pulled out the meat and skewered them and placed them over the slowly building flames.

(A/N: I am gonna speed this along so we can get to the town part.)

*30 mins later*

After some time the group came out all together sniffing the air, looking around to see the source of the smell. They looked in my direction, smiled and headed over to me. Walking over I heard their stomachs growaling and I smiled as I started to prepare some food for them, they all were suprised but thanked me for the food.

"I want to start heading back to the village in about 2 hours," Cassie said to Mike. Her reason was so that everything here was covered up and thoroughly covered for there were things to scary to mention right now.

"Ok that's fine, I am just gonna go wake up my girls," Mike stated before walking off and doing so.

Walking back with the girls to either side he informed them on whats going to happen shortly.

*2 hours later*

After eating and resting for the remaining time everyone started to break down the camp and cover everything up to make it all look as natural as possible.

after another half hour of cleaning up and roughing it all back up to look like a used game trail everyone then gathered together.

"Ok, now that we are finished we can now finally head back and bring you guys to see the elder," Cassie spoke aloud so everyone could hear. Jen normally being the quiet one spoke up...

"When we get there and all our buisness is done can I show you around?" After asking the question Jen realised that her entire group heared since she spoke aloud for everyone to hear, with nowhere to hide she stood their her face darkening ever so slightly.

Smiling I answered her question, "Yes you can, you can also show us all the best things about the place since I don't know what qualifies as a village, town, or city."

"So, lets head to town."
