Chapter 3:

Chapter 1, Sorrow's Road Is Better Crossed With A Companion

A World Unfit for Humanity


Rey continues to run until he can run no more. He sits by a broken tree and rests. Soon after he continues walking down the old game trail. He ponders if he might be able to pass for an elf. Either way, he needs to cover up his face with all the human hatred and all.

Rey doesn't know how to hunt and if he wants a robe and hood he needs fur. So unless he finds a human or friend of humans he doubts he'll be able to get a robe and hood. Now that he thinks about it if he wants to survives he needs to learn to hunt...

5 days later

He tried to hunt for days but couldn't get the hang of it. Rey only managed to kill 3 rabbits and 2 fish in 5 days. A rabbit jumps out of the bush to the right of him so he readies his homemade bow. Before he can release an arrow appears for the other side of the bush and hits the rabbits straight on.

Is their time to run? No. Can I fight an elf in battle and win? Probably not. But I have the element of surprise and they killed by village, my family, and my friends.

Rey Readies his bow fixed on the place where the arrow came from. From there comes a girl elf a little shorter than him with long green hair and blue eyes. He hesitates and misses the elf notices and proceeds to scream an ear-shattering scream.

 The girl yells "I SWEAR I WILL PAY YOU SOON". She pulls out a knife to and prepares to pounce but mid pounce she seems to get confused and asks "Human?". Rey freezes and doesn't say anything preparing to get stabbed.

"Now this is interesting," the girl says while examining Rey. He is still frozen unable to move for fear of death but then he remembers what they did to his village. Rey grabs an arrow and charges at the elf.

The elf doesn't seem to notice and the boy trips halfway through at which the girl notices and proceeds to laugh. "You could've killed me you, silly human" the girl says nonchalantly.

Rey yells "What do you think I am trying to do!" and proceeds to charge again at that the elf frowns and jumps away at the last moment. "wait wait don't kill me" the girl cries and proceeds to sob obnoxiously at which Rey observes confusedly.  "wh-" Rey starts to say but stops midword.

"Listen to me human I may or may not be war criminal at the moment and this kingdoms armies may or may not be looking for me, but can I travel with you," she states quickly. "um wait can you repeat the bit about you being a war criminal" Rey looks at her confused and bamboozled.

"Not the point anyway so can I travel with you" she pleads tears welling in her eyes."No" "I'm going to kill you now" he states matter of factly. The elf cries and asks "PLEASEEEEEE ill do anything!".

"Why should I trust an elf after what they have done to my race," He asks coldly with a stern face. She starts rolling in the dirt while crying and shouts "Sorry about that but I could help you survive if you just let me travel".

 He thinks for a moment and asks "Answer me this why do you want to travel with me?". She states "Let's just say I am in a bad spot." Rey walks away. The elf follows him and says "My name is Ária, whats yours" 

"Rey"
