Chapter 15 - The adventure begins!

Kaito walks from the forest to the familiar plains outside. He walks in the opposite direction of the village from last time and is on his way. Kaito walks around happily, and as he gets further and further away from his home forest, the feeling that his adventure is really happening sets in.

He walks for hours and hours seeing new things along the way his excitement never stops, but after all the walking. His stomach begins rumbling. 

"I'm getting hungry." Kaito thinks to himself. He opens his bag to find all he has is jerky. Though he doesn't dislike jerky. He'll eat anything. His supply still was short. 

He looks around and sees a small forest nearby. He decides to head over there and see if he can find something to eat. 

Kaito looks up one of the many trees and sees a fresh bunch of apples at the top. His eyes are filled with nothing but wanting the apples. "NEED!" He says determined as he drops his bag and begins climbing the tree. 

One branch at a time he climbs the large tree. Kaito's always been a great climber, so he has no problem at all getting up the tree. He arrives at the top and he quickly gets to eating the apples. "These are so gwood!" He happily kicks his feet while eating the apples. 

While eating, the tree begins to rumble. Kaito holds his apples close, careful not to let any of them fall. He looks around to see the cause of the rumbling and sees a gigantic monster easily 40 meters tall or more. "It's huge!" he says with a smile. He wonders how something this large just snuck up on him. Kaito decides to go over to it since it doesn't look dangerous. The monster is shining beautifully like it's made out of crystal.

The giant stood on four legs and had a long trunk like an elephant. But its head was otherwise flat, except for the trunk, and spines poked out of its back like mountains. Kaito grabbed onto its long nose, but to his surprise, it bothered the beast. 

The giant elephant flings Kaito miles into the sky in seconds. He looks around, and immediately panics. 

But he quickly calms down since it's actually pretty beautiful up here. The clouds stretch far beyond the horizon. The sun shines greatly on top and he just stares in awe at the sight. "This is amazing!" He shouts. He continues looking and thinks he sees something in the clouds. Before he can analyize for too long he begins falling, But before he dropped he could've sworn he saw an island up there. 

Kaito begins freefalling miles out of the air. He laughs as he falls through the sky. "This is so cool!" He shouts. initially he was happy, but as he sees the ground approaching him, or rather him apporaching it his mood changed. "How do I land?" He thinks before he looks down. 

Kaito is in a freefall from a great height. He tries to swim upward, but it's no use. He's falling too fast. He's thinking of any way to save himself. Then he sees a giant wooly creature walking around. He aims for it and falls into the pillowy fur. He's laughing at his close call. "Thanks wooly." He pats the monsters back and then tosses it an apple, before jumping off. 

Kaito continues on his way happily. He finds a bridge and he marvels at the sight. "How is this thing up?!" He looks down at the hole miles deep. He looks around and sees the field continues on the other side and he could walk around the hole but it'd take an extra twenty minuets. He happily makes his way across. 

The bridge begins shaking. He looks around observantly. A slash goes quickly for his head. Kaito quickly ducks under the attack and a monster screeches as it roars down at him. "Some kinda flying bat?" He says as he inspects it. 

He sees it's razor sharp claws, and laughs a bit. "Gotta get off this floaty thing, then I can handle you!" He begins sprinting. The monster continues to swip at him as he ducks around the attacks. The bat goes under the bridge and flies through it causing the rope at the end to shake. Kaito sees this and runs faster. The bat tries to fly up at him again. He ducks under the rope and uses it to swing into the bat beast. 

He grabs onto it's back and uses it to fly himself across. The beasts roars violently and tosses him around trying to throw him off. Kaito laughs as he holds onto it's wings.
