“Hey Lee even though you’re Captain you know you still can’t beat me and Geddon right?” Aim snapped in Lee’s ears. Where the boys are now they have to take the path on the forest to the mountain region. At least for now, the journey will be a bit simple.
“Give it a break Aim, the only reason I don’t show you who’s boss right now is because I need you in good health.” Lee stated back. Geddon was too into the scenery to pay the other two any attention. His eyes fixated on the nature around him.
“Aim watch both our sides, Geddon you’re the youngest and fastest you watch the rear, and I’ll watch the front to defend against anything head on”.
“Yessss Captain.” Aim said drawing his bow and scanning the tree lines.
Lee stopped moving causing Aim and Geddon to follow after him. He turned around and headed towards Aim, clenching his shirt.
“Aim! This is serious my pledge as a Commander depends on this mission and you won’t mess that up will you?!” Lee’s fist got tighter.
“Hey hey alright Lee I’ll take it serious, when have I ever failed you out of all people?!” Aim said trying to fight off Lee’s hand but he overpowered him.

“Guys calm down, Aim this is serious for Lee and he is our Captain we have to follow his lead.” Geddon said jumping in.
Lee unhanded Aim and turned around continuing along the path with the two other boys following again but this time a word hasn’t been spoken in quite awhile.
The boys have been walking and the sky glowing red orange, the sun beginning to retreat to the other side of the world. “We should rest up ahead for the night, we’re still not in dangerous territory and I need to talk to you two anyway.” Lee said breaking the silence.
“This area should be good Lee, we can hide in the trees” Aim said pointing to the woods to the right of them.
“Alright eyes sharp let’s set up”.
The three boys entered the woods and set up three individual tents, putting down their gear and making a small campfire. Aim had already put down various traps around the vicinity in case someone or some thing decides to stroll in.
At the campfire the boys simmered jerky that they had brought with them on their travels as the night sky came along with the stars.
“Aim, Geddon.” Lee said taking a bite. He had noticed the tension in the air resulting from earlier.
“What’s up Lee?” Geddon asked, his and Aim’s attention grabbed.
“Have you ever fought Fiends before Aim”?
“Fiends?” Aim said looking confused. Lee let out a sigh and cursed the mentors who didn’t tell him information, especially when it was his first day out the boundaries.
“I don’t know much about them either Aim, just Lee saved me from a couple of lower level ones.” Geddon assured his teammate.
Lee told the two to listen carefully as he’s about to tell them about how cruel the world really is.
“The ones held accountable for splitting up our world in the past and the reason why your mother started her journey Geddon. The monsters named Fiends”.
