* Building blocks To the new world, formed in the night's sky.
Blood rained upon us Or upon life to be exact.
As a new problem is beginning to spread.
Shallow cuts rather than deep wounds littering thy body.
Pain is payment for the happiness we seek.
I came here in hopes that I could be prosperous like the rest of my people.
We turned to many questionable acts, Some sins of such horror that the stains on my hands and soul shall never be satiated...
I tell you this not because I seek your pity but because I wish to live on.
I shall bring you here for my own selfish reasons.
This child is not my first choice but is my only chance...
Hope.
Freedom.
Life.
Thy name will not die here!*

It has now been four days since I last saw anyone in our group...
Mint and I have been to the rendezvous that was set, We found nothing It is currently a night of the fourth day.
I can't say it is safe since I have seen centipedes searching the area.
I am able to hide in the tree since they only care about what's on the ground.
I am starting to worry about the others.
Mint and I Agreed that if no one shows up by tomorrow we will begin the phase two of our meet up plan.
For me now I am stuck with the fear of no one showing up...
I am looking into the nights sky watching the moon change and the weird blotches that center our sky now.
It began to rain A dark Red almost like blood, It was thick and hot...
Among the stars I saw a dazling silver star, I closed my eyes sifting through my mind.
Thinking or wishing for what...
Well I honestly don't know.
I had nothing to wish for opening my eyes, I see the glow of silver brilliantly growing.
The glow grew until it was almost as bright as the sun I felt the heat as it smashed into the ground.
I was a few miles from it but I felt the sonic wave from the blast it caused.
Mint glared at me with sharp eyes making me flinch.
She spoke.
Mint: Wait.
Rico: Yes I know.
We will wait till morning before we investigate.
Get some rest.
We will make markers tomorrow to let everyone know.
* Just like that mint controlled my inner voice.
We waited until morning and still no one showed up Grabbing a few larger limbs I dug an arrow into the ground lined it with the sticks.
Carving into the tree a note.
"This Is the directions we took.
Look for our arrows, Five days we spent here, We are going to investigate an object that landed.
We will rendezvous at the black mountains in ten days time.
RICO WAS HERE"
Rico: Come on mint let's go see what that was.
We can't stay here forever maybe the others are just lost.
* Gahhhh Dammit!
How could I let myself get caught like that dammit!!
At this rate it will take me six or seven more days just to heal!
I can't let these kids down!
Ugh! Who am I kidding I need to sleep...
Doug: Bro!
I found him hurry bring the splints
Hurry up knuckle head he may die!
Leon: Is that you shrimp!
Doug: Thats right old man!
Len: Yep big bro said we had the same escape plan!
When we didn't meet you on the third day... he jumped unto action making the splints and a gurney...
Its a good thing we came back.
Doug: Not exactly lil' bro. look...
Len: oh man thats narly!
We don't know first aid bro...
Leon: just get us moving ill survive!
Doug: you better old man!
We got four days of travel!
Anne: Just hang on Niko We are almost their...
Niko: Little doctor girl it is fine.
Leave me and go I will not make it These wounds are too much even for you to heal.
Anne: I can't do something like that.
* There is a rustling ahead of us!
I gotta hide it may be that lizard again dammit!
Svetlana: Finally I find you!
Oh dear!
This is not good!
Anne: Help me hurry he is hurt!
Svetlana: oh dear girl... He has passed away.
Anne: what no!!!
* looking back at niko my heart skipped over I Tripped and landed on my face...
I began crying I don't know why it hurts so much...
Svetlana: Come little one we need to move.
Anne: No!! We have to bury him!!
Svetlana: I am sorry little one we cannot waste the time.
The others may be in danger and that creature with the scales will be back any time.
Anne: But he risked his life its the least we can do!!
Svetlana: No the least you can do is run! Otherwise he lost his life for nothing little one.
Are you hurt?
Anne: No... He shielded me from that lizard thing.
Svetlana: I see.
Anne: Huh? what are you doing!
Don't!
* Before she grabbed me up, she dug into his pocket, As I was protesting she grabbed me tossing me over her shoulder.
She began to run and all I could do was cry as I watched the man who saved me fade into the distance.
My head dropped when I could no longer see him but his blood was still covering me, scaring me, and staining my mind. *
Rory: KERRY WAKE UP!
Anthony I need help!
Anthony: Yes ma'am!
Sam: what do I do!
My weapons are broke!
Rory: Sam and I will make an opening, Anthony you take Kerry and run.
Now Sam!
Sam: Yes!
* With everything I had I rushed over the creatures head landing two arrows in its side and eye.
I don't know what to call this creature besides a grub.
Its pincher swung at me catching my leg, from its underside Sam Slid slicing it with the broken blade she had.
the creature reared at us sending me flying once again and it landed a hit on Sam as she landed against a tree.
I screamed at the top of my lungs.*
Rory: Over here you big ugly Grubb.
Like I am finished with you!!
RUN!!!
* Taking my cue Anthony grabbed Kerry and disappeared into the brush.
The grub came towards me.
Slowly and menacingly, It knew it had won leaving us in suspense as it skulked towards me...
I closed my eyes expecting it to end...
But minutes passed, when I opened my eyes I saw a silver bird pecking at the wounds we had made.
I began to cry...
My eyes grew heavy as my consciousness faded.
I could relax finally!
Plush finally found us!
Zain: Libra do you know where we are?
Libra: I am not sure.
When we were escaping it seems we found a short fall, we fell into it...
That fat bird flew away but I cannot blame it.
Zain: I didn't see if Kerry fell with us she was ahead of us before the cave started to crash.
Libra: she made it out!
The fat bird got blocked in but used his head.
She used it to knock into her she her flying she should have made it past the shortfall.
Zain: I cannot move...
Libra: Yes I weigh a considerable amount...
There is no room.
Zain: right...
So what do we do?
Libra: I am out of energy, There is little air down here I have been using my energy to make air...
Zain: I see let me see what I can do!?
* It seems like it will take a while for me to move this stone!
Ugh what is it made of!
Move dammit move!!!*
Zain: Ugh I can't move it?
Libra: I see... so I was not mistaken.
Zain: Ah.
Libra: Well for now we can take turns refreshing the air using our mana.
Zain: Ohkedokie...
Libra: I cannot get ahold of my children...
Zain: stuck and lost deep in the ground...
I doubt anyone will be coming for us.
Libra: save your breath.
* This doesn't feel right...
last night something smashed into the ground, Mint and I have traveled quite a ways.
When we reached the impact site there was nothing.
I could tell this was its crash site because I was looking through the trees and I am able to see the hole it made.
I figured there would be a crater but again there is nothing that's been disturbed except the trees.
Granted the trees are supporting a green roof.
The canopied foliage marked its fall but the ground isn't disturbed...
Mint split from me to go find dinner, She insisted that we needed food.
Nothing we had in storage was gonna work I guess.
I have been alone for awhile now, investigating or more like combing the area with extreme vigilance.
I mean I even lifted rocks hoping that they may be a godly item!
I honestly had no clue what the criteria is for fallen sky items.
I am looking for what exactly???
As I was busy looking under rocks and through bushes a Small black lizard slithered out of the tree.
I froze when I met its eyes it hissed at me.
I didn't take my eyes off its line of sight but using my peripheral I could see the snake was about two meters in length.
At its end was two thick frog legs black in color as well, The light peaking through the trees made it glisten.
It opened its mouth this time taking its eyes off me as it hunkered down in fear of what was above us.
It looked at me with sharp eyes, When I turned around it hissed lightly as if to ask me something.
I turned and slowly hissed back bowing my head.
Its eyes lit up for a split second, then it slowly slithered away and disappeared from sight.
I had no clue if I had done that correctly...
I just went with instinct, IT JUST FELT RIGHT!
I mean how bad ass would it be to have a pet like that!
For some odd reason I see mint more of a partner than a pet, As for void well I can't even summon it...
It acts free of its own accord, that rabbit is a spoiled one.
I have a guardian ant Anton, But he is a trusty mount!
I wouldn't imagine it fighting, Even if it could fight why would I make it?
He already has one job, Although I refuse to let it, if it chooses to battle with me while being a mount I will give it that option.
I mean it is rather small, Only one meter in height and two meters in length.
Libra said they should grow bigger but will always be able to carry ten times its weight.
Its not like it's useless because it could carry an elephant through a jungle, And climb cliffs with excellence.
That aside I was getting tired of searching, I found the biggest tree closest to the hole made by the inexisting objects.
Mint finally returned holding two black rabbits and a white baby snake.
She sat across from me skinning the rabbit's and skewering the snake.
I felt at ease so I leaned back onto the tree, Ironically I hit the ground with my head.
I looked up and was able to see the inside of the tree it was hollow.
I saw the light shine through the tree from the angle I was laying at, I could see the hole In the tree canopy.
The crator didn't land on the ground it landed inside the tree!
Mint curiosity in her face poked her head through the hologram like mimic.
It lead into a cave It was deeply sunk in, I rolled over and crawled inside.
After about ten feet my hand met something slippery.
It took me by surprise but I was already sliding down the rabbit hole, Mint grabbed my leg and was suckered into falling with me!
We slid about a minute before the tunnel angle flattened out, slowly but surely we stopped!
It was pitch black I could feel something slimy, But the worst part was I couldn't see!
Even with my eyesight!
I have no problem seeing at night but this felt like a void of Abyss.
Out of nowhere my finger began to shine a dazling purple, out came void!
The little rabbit looked at me then conveyed want!
I was hesitant at first since this was the first time in ever!
That this little demon rabbit asked for permission.*
Rico: Why are you asking me?
Void: Sni sith sith sithhhhh
Rico: I understand that I am your tamer!
But you never ask for permission from me?
Void: Sni sni sni sni sniiiiii!!!!!!
Rico: Okay fine first explain what I have to do with that!
Void: si sni sis si sth Snith sni si sis sni snithhh!
Rico: Okay...
Let me get this right.
You want me to absorb this void with you?
Void: Sni!!!
Rico: I don't quite understand how...
* Seconds after I said that I regretted it...
The rabbits reared it arms, I could hear it's muscles tighten as its legs began to strain.
The only light I could see was the florescent purple void light shining from void himself.
It disappeared and I felt the impact my forehead reflected as the silver gem on the rabbit's head made a perfect collision with the mark on my head.
I felt the connection o much so that I felt voids thoughts!
Void: Breath!
Void: Follow!
Void: ACCEPT ME MASTER!
Rico: Accept you?
It is you who denies me!?
Void: I am burden to master from start...
Rico: I... Yes I treated you as nothing more than a nuisance.
I apologize.
Void: Accept Me!
Rico: I will always accept you!
Even if you never do as I ask, You are a precious companion.
Void: Real?
Rico: Yes void!
Real!
you are family!
Mint: Gurgaon!
Family?
Rico: Yes I think I finally understand that word...
We are family.
Void: Family?
Rico: Yes family!
* With that revelation the connections present became more than just a small trickle.
The damn opened as the trickle became a flood.
I felt the energies mix making my chest hurt.
Closely followed by that was the headache.
After both combined I could only feel a searing pain!?
Why does it hurt so much!*
Void: Breathe master!
Pain not real!
Rico: Ah!
* At the words I felt the pain leave and I smelled a fresh grass smell as if spring was permeating the air!
Inside the void created by the mysterious object, the three of us bathed in the ambient energy.
My bones creaked, my flesh burnt, My organs groaned, and my thoughts were scattered.
All I could do is breathe and allow myself to be molded.
I lost track of time just soaking the mysterious items ambient energy filtering and absorbing.
Rinse and repeat.
The flood didn't show signs of slowing down!
I couldn't find time to tire out, Sleep, Nor lose focus.
That is until I heard a voice!
This voice shook me...
I have heard it before and now my guts burn!!
He has awoken, At the worst possible point!!
