“Geddon…you’re safe.” A teenage girl with bright red hair said watching Aim and Geddon talk in the cover of the taller flowers. She put her weapon back and continued to stare at Aim. “That look in his eyes, he wanted to kill him.” She thought to herself.
“Hell? The fiery place where evil spirits are at?” Geddon answered confused at the sudden question. Then he thought about the place where he was just at with the diamond Tortoise who saved him.
Aim said nothing and just looked at him.
Lee came running back and told them to gather any belongings they could find as their about to continue their journey. This scuffle took all morning and it’s almost afternoon, they’re still not halfway close to Foresun.
Geddon ran to get his things while Aim stood still and watched him. Lee smacked him on his back and asked if he was jealous.
“Was it you or Geddon who brought him down?” He asked.
“It was Geddon. He has lightning and fire around his legs and feet and charred Braun”.
Lee looked at Braun then back at Aim.
“WAIT WHAT?! GEDDON DID WHAT?!” He yelled out.
“I can’t lie it was cool and almost finished him off in one hit.” Aim thought of his bow and daggers that were broken in the fight. “I have only one dagger left anyway”.
Geddon came with his bag and most of his belongings when he caught eyes with Lee.

“Geddon, are you feeling alright in your legs?” He asked him.
“Yeah!” Geddon answered. “At first it was like I was on fire then out of nowhere I felt really strong in my legs”!
“For the time being Geddon do NOT use that power anymore”.
“I’m was thinking that too Lee, it has to be that”.
Lee looked forward on the path and told them to keep moving and for Geddon to stay close beside him. Geddon didn’t know what was going on but just like he felt with his mother Lee and Aim was hiding something from him about his abilities.
As they were leaving, Geddon looked behind at Braun.
They walked for several hours. Upon reaching a trail within a forest, Aim spotted something red in the trees to the left of them. He stopped and brung his dagger to his chin.
“Captain I just seen something bright in the trees.” He told Lee.
Geddon and Lee stopped moving to watch the area where Aim was pointing at.
“We can’t afford another fight if it’s an enemy, if they don’t attack us and you don’t see more than three don’t engage.” Lee commanded. Aim put his dagger down and continued to watch that area as they started to move again.
“Still, he is good at what he does no lie there.”the girl whispered to herself. “I can’t afford to be seen by him or the other two”.
Aim nudged Lee as they continued walking.
The young lady took no time after hearing their footsteps retreating, quickly moving locations even silently with low crunching of leaves scattered around.
With their adrenaline gone and strength dwindling it didn’t take long for them to start slowing down. Lee looked in the air to see the clear afternoon sky, remembering their time deadline.
“Shit…I keep screwing up.” He mumbled to himself.
“What’s wrong with Lee?” Aim asked Geddon near exhausted.
“My guess is that he’s worried about his Captain status, he really wants to prove to his mom that he’s worthy.” Geddon answered him with some hesitation.
“Prove to Ms. Aegis?” Aim continued asking.
“I’m not gonna tell you his dream, but I will do whatever it takes for him to get there”.
Aim looked at Lee walking in front of them.
“Lee…what is this feeling…it’s different”.
*FLASHBACK*
A Nine year old Lee looked nervously at a young girl. The girl was pale and had blonde hair pulled back into a small ponytail and bright blue eyes, matching Lee’s features. Her rose gold armor from the Lord of their village glittered in the sunlight. Lee had been sent off for his very first mission outside of the immediate area of HellHelm.
