In a dense jungle, three people covered in the dirt were dragging their tired bodies. One of them had a compass and was leading the group. The group consisted of two women and a boy not older than twelve.
The woman leading had brown hair and black eyes. Her face was hard to make out because of the dirt that covered it. She had a huge build for a woman and carried a sword on her waist. She was wearing baggy clothes but even then her muscles could be seen.
The other woman had red hair mixed with brown soil. Her face was also covered in dirt but she still had a flair to her personality. Even though she looked like she would fall just by a gust of wind, she still had a straight posture. Like not willing to bow even a bit.
The little boy looked exact copy of the woman with red hair. He was holding the hands of the red-haired woman.
"We will camp here tonight. You two rest up. I will start a fire. " The muscular woman said as she started collecting twigs and dry leaves.
"I will help you soldier. " The woman with red hair said.
"No Madame Agatha, how can I ask you to do such a measly task? " The muscular woman replied. Even though she said it respectfully a hint of contempt could be felt.
"It's ok Riana. Alcaz, you help too. " Agatha said and involved her son Alcaz too.
Stolen story; please report.
Riana didn't say anything after that. After they collected the twigs she sat to start the fire but seeing that there were still a few hours until sunset she thought of hunting something.
"Madame, I am going for the hunt. I would really appreciate it if you can just sit here without doing anything. Can I expect that from you? " Riana asked Agatha but the one to answer was Alcaz, his son.
"Yes, we will sit here tight. " He said with a huge smile on his face. He looked like a cheerful kid.
"Whatever... " Riana said under her breath as she walked out of the vicinity. Once she was out of their sight she hid behind a tree as her expression broke. She began panting and her body started shivering. Drenched in sweat she tried to stand up but to no avail.
Suddenly she heard some rustling around her. She immediately closed her eyes and muttered something under her lips. The wind started gathering around her. With her instruction of her the wind started swooping the area around her. It was a magic spell to find the enemies in the surrounding. She was not very well versed in the wind magic but this was a basic spell that she had no problem casting.
After some seconds she opened her eyes and she took out her sword from the scabbard. What she felt was a human and not an animal. She was more afraid of a human than a monster.
"Come out I know you are trying to hide. Are you working for those bastards? " Riana shouted but no one answered.
"As you wish... " Riana said as she cast a spell and a thunderbolt came out of thin air in front of her. The bolt moved at an unimaginable speed and completely went through anything that came in front of her. It did not hit the target but it made him aware of her powers.
"You are way off the target. " A man came from behind the trees with his hands up.
"Who are you? " Riana asked him as she conjured another thunderbolt.
"I mean no harm. I am a traveler. " The man said trying to calm the situation.
"My name is Krish. "
