An age of Darkness

By evening we'd traveled at least five days' worth of journey by foot. The birds were fast but they had to rest every half an hour or so. They couldn't maintain long flights. But even so, they were fast enough. 

"If we continued for an hour longer we'd have reached the border. But I don't think the birds will be able to fly anymore today," Dick said.

There was a forest behind us, so I couldn't really relax.

But I still tried to sound normal. "You sound like you've been here before." 

"Well," He ruffled his hair. "I came here first then went to Alfeim."

The birds all turned small and rested on our shoulders. I just hoped they wouldn't push on me. 

Servesta started to set up camp while Lianne and Alisa came towards us.

"How come you couldn't find it then?" If he had been there before then he had all the time in the world to search for the weapons.

"I didn't know back then." He chuckled. He seemed a little frustrated.
