Chapter 10
Lost
A while past before the two Sligs got up on their feet and walked feebly towards Zaypher. “Good to see you again, Admeet” Zaypher said warm-heartedly. Admeet smiled and helped Solister to her feet fully. The three walked away from the shrine and towards a patch of forest on the horizon. A couple of dagger roaches joined the three. Solister didn’t flinch at the site as she somehow knew they wouldn’t attack. She just walked on trying to ignore the pain inside her. Admeet was also struggling slightly as he was totally exhausted from before. It was only Zaypher who wasn’t struggling as he helped the two along. “Almost there” said Zaypher encouraging the two.
When they finally reached the near-centre of the wood, they could hear a rushing stream. The three quickly reached the water’s edge and took big mouthfuls. “Lovely” said Admeet quietly. Solister collapsed on the soft grass just near a grey boulder. Admeet sat down next to her and put his right arm around her back. Solister leant beside Admeet and closed her eyes. “In the nick of time” said Zaypher, “The sun is starting to slip down over the horizon”. Admeet nodded but said nothing; he closed his eyes. Zaypher smiled at them and sat down in front of a tree. He closed his eyes and waited for the new day.
Meanwhile near the edge of the wood. “Got to get away, got to get away” whispered a figure to himself. He was running through the wood into the centre. He then tripped over a half-buried root and fell to the soft ground. He panted heavily and looked into the dark of the forest. He saw three Sligs near a flowing river. He felt lost and confused. “Where am I?”
