Pov: Ash
Location: Forest Empire
The sound of a cry from a little girl pulled us out of our conversation.
"It's coming from the east," Bash said, grabbing his dark sword swiftly.
"Proceed with caution," I urged. Following Bash as he leads the way.
Getting access to other humans is crucial, the forest was like a maze, with no sense of direction due to towering trees.
"You moved quickly when you heard the loud cry," I used my hand to clear a tree branch dangling in front of me. The trees have golden flowers blooming on them, their lights were like that of fireflies but the flowers are just plants from my observation.
"Instinct." That was all Bash responded with, his legs gaining ground as we moved as fast as we could without running.
"Stop," Bash said. His hand lifted with his palm opened.
