43 Fields

The group of five just looked at Caleb with a blank expression which was cut through by Marcus's frankness

"No matter our mission is to hunt direwolves , plain and simple, at least it will be an interesting trip into the forest,Any issues with that"

A few eyes rolling and silent begrudging acknowledgements later the group's tension subsided to quite understanding.

"So , guide where are we entering the forest "

Caleb nodded curtly and got to work, he scanned the floor and quickly found the grove he carved with his face still scared the floor marring the flatness of the plains.Caleb feeling a wince of pain at the back of his head he traced his hand from the impact to the forest finding the point the exit point.Caleb pointed towards into the distance where the forest stood vigil.

"That's a bit of distance, John, Lela, first one doesn't need to hunt when we set up camp "

The three of them looked at each other with telling eyes as soon as their glances met a spark between the three formed and they bolted forward like a swooping canary and they gained distance ,Caleb stood there dumbfounded at not that the two ones wearing leather armour he expected to be fast , but the one sprinting at full speed in full plate.

Looking back towards Rea she had Ellie on her shoulder like a child, As celebs eyes met Rea's eyes he saw a chuckle under the bored demeanour.

'System how the fuck did that guy run in full plate'

[Well first you must underst...

'shorten it '

[Magic Essence absorbed by those unable to refine it leads to the energy permeating the body and enhancing bodily function]

Caleb shook his head disregarding any notion of understanding as he couldn't explain or understand

his own outrageous shit, Looking towards Rea he nodded and then ran.

Caleb returned to the comforting sensations, the air whistling in the ear, the wet touch of the earth and blades of grass, the sweat beading down his head and how the sun bore down on him .the singularness of being entrancing.

focused he heard the repetition within his heart how each pulse sent heat through his aching body, how each cut through the gargle of noise as he ran like a cutting edge, the air freshness tangy on his tongue.

Running forward he looked towards the forest and each step amplified its immensity until the three figures stood there like ants against a mountain, it gave a new respect seeing another person against the great poles which stood vigil.

As he skidded to a halt he gave a curt nod to Marcus and run up the tree and became a blur as his speed almost inhumane scaled the tree with blistering pace ,Caleb piercing the canopy gained a glimpse of the familiar sight of the great green canopies stretching out as a never-ending green field which glistened with the suns touch .he saw in the distance the broken church grey penetrating the canopy and looking up he saw the twins suns which stood sentinel in the sky .

Quickly sliding down from his perch he met with the remaining 2 giving a nod of acknowledgement

and looking at the res they looked a bit surprised, Marcus quickly shook it off

"We will follow,you go forward"

Caleb not giving acknowledgement skulked almost subconsciously inwards into the dark abyss of the forest and the group saw Caleb disappear into the darkness of the forest.

Standing there confused for a few awkward moments a hand pierced the darkness beckoning them forward, just a hand nothing else, The group sort of confused looked towards Marcus who gave a reassuring nod and they pressed on into the forest
