Chapter 4
Morning came and they are already at the forest with the freakingly big trees just across this forest is the border of grand canyon and wasteland so the group entered the forest they are close to each other so to not get lost along the way , while odin in front leading everyone , rena and ren at the middle and back.
The injuries they have yesterday already healed up that they can move seems like a night rest and bondages was efdective. And everyone of them full of energy even tho they still skinny its not like malnourishmeny will be fixed in a single night, but they have energy their eyes are alive unlike on the cage. The sense of being in danger and no one to rely on made them sad bit determined to move forward.
[Lets rest here for a minute , arrange the things here ill go scout the road ahead abit then go back] (Odin)
After scouting for a while and decided that its okay to proceed later he goes back to the group and sat down.
[Hows the road ahead ? Is it safe?] (Rena)
Rena asked while handing a fruit and jerky
[Yeah its fine no animals monster whatsoever it looks like we will arrive at the border tommorow if we keep this pace] (Odin)
Then he looked at the box they got and sighed , {looks like we got a problem on our food supplies i dont think it will last for 2 days} but i cant tell them no to eat and save food i want them to recover their skinny body from malnaurishment...
[Everyone gather up , i have something to tell] (Odin)
Then everyone stopped chatting and gathered in front of odin , odin decided thid is a good time to tell them his plans now that they calmed down odin standing in front started to talk
[Many of you probably still dont know me after all those chaos that happened yesterday , i am Odin the oldest in this group i will be leading this group to the borfer of wasteland to hide for sometime] (Odin)
He stopped and observe their reaction its not easy to trust someone so he need to be clear about it and if they dont want to go with him he will respect their decision
[Can i ask why we will go at the border? And not on the city?] (???girl 1)
Asked one of the girls in front with black shoulder length hair ,frail skinny body and long clothes not her size
"i imagine similar to lab clothes or kids wearing adult clothes that become all in one shirt and served as pants"

[Since everyone already know we were slaves yesterday , and for now if we go to any city with merchants we will be branded as slaves again , i know no one wants that] (Odin)
Everyone nodded in agreement Odin realized he lacks knowledge about the world currently and just based everything on what rena told him
Odin grabbed something on his pocket and showed it to everyone
[Anyone know what this is?](Odin)
Odin raised his hand holding a square plate with writings on it , odin knew what it is because it is similar to ID on Earth name, hometown , occupation is probably whats written but he is still not sure. The plate is from the box they are carrying its probably the merchants owner identification plate.
[Thats an Identification plate](Rena)
[Yes this is identification plates , so if we dont manage getting ourselves this plates even if we go inside any city we will just become slaves again] (Odin)
Everyone nodded again but this time they all have no doubts and know why they were going to borders and not in towns or cities.
[Now lets go we still have so much to do when we arrive there and one more thing](Odin)
Odin looked at everyone and adked ren and 2 other boys to come on front and handed them short sword
[Here hold on this , currently we still have a food in us but its not gonna last forever so be ready and help me if we encounter some wild animals or monster be ready](odin)
After a short pause he shifted his gaze to everyone
[That goes to everyone , if you come across some edible plant along the way grab it](Odin)
Now that they have clean goal they now sat up and started heading east again while the 2 boys with short sword following behind odin.
After they found a cover they stopped and decided tp rest the night. Its already night and they encounter a problem they have no more water the juggs of water they got from the carriege was now empty.
{Tomorrow we need to find some source of water}
After walking the forest untill afternoon they found a river and found a boar 2 meter of size dringking up the river after the boys killed it ,then the girls walked to the river to fill up the jugg that will last them 4 more days.
Odin and the others are standing on guard in case another wild animal nearby the surroundings. After odin observed the surroundings to be safe he decided to settle down in this area.
Theres a river and one hour walk to the west is the forest they have gone to and only about five hour walk to the borders. And the place they are at are considerably concealed from the main road. Its already afternoon and night is coming
[Everyone unload your luggage, and gather up some wood for the fire](Odin)
Right now everyone already acknowledged odin as their leader its because of what happened at the boar a while ago it was because of odin that they successfully hunted down the boar and everyone is now smiling in front of the campfire some are even drooling while odin and rena cooked some of its meat in the campfire.
After they finished eating odin suddenly talked to everyone that circled the campfire
[Everyone we dont need to move tommorow , i decided it will be good if we stay within this area] (Odin)
After explaining to everyone that they are safe in this area that are concealed from the main road and the fact the land is rich in resources specially the river and the ground is fertile with the forest behind them if they establish or hunt together they have enough already. After a long explanation to everyone
[Lets sleep now we still need to wake up early tommorow] (Odin)
