༻ ༊*·˚ ༺
A pair of teenagers walked through the corrupted forest in silence, the taller one must have been around 16 and the shorter one around 12. They were both talking quietly, the younger one seemed to be complaining about something while the bigger one scolded him and pulled him along so that they could keep moving.
— Okay, let's take a break... — Thomas finally agreed to Kai's annoying requests. — But only for 10 minutes! — Before Kai could complain any further, the 16-year-old continued: — The E.G.O. agents won't stop, they could capture us at any moment. Besides, you heard the conversations of that squad that passed us yesterday, they found something in that area, someone powerful enough to take down a whole group of trained men.
— Relax a bit, bro! — Kai smiled and, despite the way he referred to the older boy, it was clear that they weren't blood relatives.
After all, Kai had narrow eyes — like those of a phoenix — with black irises and hair, and fair skin. While Thomas had tanned skin, brown hair with messy curls and round eyes with brown irises.
— Let's sit on those roots! — Kai said as he hurried over to a huge corrupted tree, its trunk completely gray and dried out.
Thomas sighed and massaged his temples, following right behind his younger brother. But just before he reached the tree, Kai suddenly stopped.
— Look, brother, there's a girl lying there! — Kai whispered in alarm, pointing to Sete, who was still sleeping under her soft moss blanket.
— Don't go near her, it could be an E.G.O. trap! — Thomas replied, he had been looking after Kai for as long as he could remember. — You know they're hunting people just like us...
The pair fell silent, observing their surroundings carefully and then turning their attention to the young woman lying unconscious among the gray roots.
She looked about 20 or 21 years old. Her skin is white and a little flushed, with light brown shoulder-length hair. Her features are soft, her eyelashes long and curved like butterfly wings, and her lips neither too thin nor too thick, with a well-defined cupid's bow. Her marked jaw and frowning eyebrows contrasted with the girl's general delicacy, giving her an air of instigating irreverence and firmness.
The brothers sensed a faint floral and fruity scent emanating from her, and noticed that her eyelids trembled slightly.
Thomas immediately placed Kai behind his body in a defensive posture. That person was waking up!
