A white butterflies move past a group of man.

Gelius is a guard captain on Mapleshade. A small undeveloped village which habitated by only 400 humans. It's located on the mountainous northen border of snowstar, small kingdom which lies between elven border and great human empire.

At past, mapleshade is flourish trade point between humans and elven empire. But 60 years ago after attacked by the Raynaldus the Mad, the 5th humans king. The elven queen, not wishing for any bloodsheet shut his border until now. The war itself is already stopped. But for various reason the elven queen still put a defensive stance, and swear to shoot down every humans that breach the border.

Today is late autumn, winter is almost come. Gelius and 5 of his men was tasked to hunt for winter suplies. Their squad had been hunting for almost 2 weeks and decide to move deeper to wilderness in hope for better luck.

"brook, i leave the charge to you, i'm going deeper to pick up some lyor fruit for my pregnant wife"

"but... sir, the elve.."

"just do it, no talkin back, i dont want to anger my wife, someday you'll know what i mean. Understood?"

"yes sire"

"we'll met at this site 4 hours later. and make sure you dont move past the border, i'll just follow that whitebutterflies, they tend to flock near lyor fruit, so i dont think i'll go for to long."

so galius move deeper to the forest.

"sigh," what a trouble some boss, can face a blackfrost bear without flinching but so scared with his wife "Come guys, eyes open, watch for any trail"

Iilvari POV

Its been two days already my leg is dead tired. I'm rarely work out. And whats with this temperature. So chill.

hmm, By the looks of it, some stupid fella at campus mess up some research and make the space distorted. So i end up stranded here. But without the proper tools, i cant figure out how to get back.

Thankfully i have sylva with me. By hacking my nerve system impulse and integrating it with sylva own sonar system, she's put on a map on my vision and keep updating the area that i passed. So i'm not moving in Circle and get lost. But the problem is the map must be done manually. so for few days i have done my mapping, Putting a tag on my map to mark some edible fruit location and shelter.

Now after food is secure i think i'll explore the outer area. I hope to find some settlement. I dont have any basic survival gears on me. I just have a guitar, lighter, and 4 cigar. I hope i can barter something on me for some gears. My only weapon is my psionic. Which i guess is already enough for facing most thing on earth. But i dont know what creature lies in this world. For now i dont think it is wise to relly on it.

Last night i was attacked by a group of wolves. And when i try to light some fire just to threaten them, an fireblast happens. I suppose some strange gas on the air is get ignited while i compressing the oxigen. So i dont think i should use my power a while for safety purpose. Sylva is running some simulation based on my test last night for my better control. hopefully an hour later she'll finish it.

After another our of walkin

i'll stop for a rest here i guess.

"Sylva, hows the test?"

"i just need some little more time to implement my test result on your psionic. would you like a detailed report?"

"no, just basic is enough"

"okay, based on my simulation, it seems some matter inside this planet is emitting a certain energy wave, i dont know what it is, my database have no record on this thing. but it seems your psionic device is compatible with this energy. so in the end it end up powering up your psionic. i assume that it is safe to implement this energy on future usage after i put some better control. and your fear of the easy ignite gas is proven wrong on my test, the other unidentified gas structure is to stabil to ignite easily. i'll show you the gas composition and thei..."

"sylva, i said basic"

"but this is basi.."

"ya ya ya, anyway thank you. i'm like some rest know, just let me know if you already re-scale the energy output"

"yes illvari

hmm, what song should i play now.

so i pick my guitar and play hollow years, song by dream theater.

He's just the kind of man you hear about

Who leaves his family for an easy out

They never saw the signs, he never said a word

He couldn't take another day

Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

Walk me across the water

And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone you're crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining over your head disappears

The noise that you'll hear is the crashing down of hollow years

She's not the kind of girl you hear about

She'll never want another, she'll never be without

She'll give you all the signs, she'll tell you everything

Then turn around and walk away

Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

Walk me across the water

And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone you're crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining over your head disappears

The noise that you'll hear is the crashing down of hollow years

Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

Walk me across the water

And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone you're crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining over your head disappears

The noise that you'll hear is the crashing down of hollow years

Once the stone you're crawling under

Once the stone you're crawling under

Once the stone you're crawling under

(I not own the song, the song is by dream theater, the title is hollow years. i'm not really sure if this is alright to put it here. but if this violate some rule, i'll just remove it.)

Aerith POV

"YOU TOO DARE IGNORE ME?? COME MY SISTER, GET THE INTRUDER OUT OF OUR WOOD, I WANT THEM OUT OF HERE WITH AN ARROW ON THEIR HEAD RIGHT NOW OR YOU GET NO DINNER"

my boss sudenlly yell, i guess she's having a hard time. Her fiance, ignored her for the past 3 month, the mail pigeon that she sent never bring any reply back.

Galius POV

THUCK... SWOOSH... THUCK... another arrow lodge in front of me.

Great, now me and my boys stuck here.

stupid elves and their duty devotion. is that too much to lose a wild fruit inside their border, the tree is not even ten step over inside their border

and why did these guys follow me. i already told them to hunt ahead of me, a bigger group is easy to spot.

"Gerard, dont put a frontal shield, just distrupt the arrow path, your energy will run out faster like that" i yell to the only mage on my squad.

ARGGHH stupid recruit, a mage without proper energy control

"HEY ELVES, CANT WE JUST STOP HERE. I ONLY PICK ONE FRUIT. WHY ARE YOU SO GODDAMN HARDHEADED."

"YOU ALREADY GET YOUR WARNING HUMANS, AND I DONT LIKE TO BE IGNORED."
