Well. I'm sorry then. But I think this deserves it's own thread. Obviously because it's a story, not just a fan thread about what people think of it. But for anyone that reads it:
Soul Frontier
Chapter Two: The Jungles of Firos and the Savages of Horridus
A wolf howled somewhere in the tangle of trees. War cries were heard and we all turned our eyes to the jungle, all except for Felix. He was on his feet, staring at the ground, fists clenched.
"Those Horridusians! Hunting on sacred Firos ground!" Felix said as he grabbed his spear, his purple hair blowing in the wind.
"Felix come back!" Mia yelled at the dissapearing image of Felix.
"We have to go after him guys!" I said, listening to the cries in the forest.
"Ha!" We all jumped to our feet and looked for the source of the voice. A kid around our age stepped out from behind the rocks. He brushed his blue hair out of his eyes, and spoke again with a voice that sounded like ice shattering, "Go after him? You know nothing about this place and yet you think you can play the hero. Listen, your best bet is to stay here and wait. He'll be fine on his own."
"You think you can just come in here and order us around? Who do you think we are? Listen to me instead. I'm going after him. Try to stop me. Anyone." I said, looking around the camp.
"Go if you want, I bet these three are smart enough to stay here."
"Tell me one thing before I leave, what's your name?"
"Piers."
"Very well, Piers, remember my name well. It's Ian." I then turned and ran down the path that Felix took.
**********
I was running. Running though the jungle. I saw dead bodies, all bloodied and mangled. I saw blades sharpened beyond my imagination. I picked one up. It was light in my hands, it fit perfectly in my hands. I saw flames up ahead, and a dark light. I picked up the sword's sheath and headed towards the light. There was something moving beyond my eyes, following this light, or rather, creating it. I saw red glowing eyes and a wide gaping hole filled with rows of teeth. The hole swallowing me up, but never touching me...
"Wake up Ian! Please!"
"Uuuugghhh..." I moaned.
"He's awake!"
"I hardly think that moaning counts as being awake."
I opened my eyes and saw Mia's tear filled face. "Mia, there is no need to cry for me."
"I'm sorry, I just thought you might have died."
"What happened to me anyways?" I say as I try to sit up. Then I see it. My shirt was soaked in blood. "That doesn't look good" I said as I laid back down. I then saw Felix and Piers talking. I could make out some of their conversation.
"Never again Felix." Piers said.
"Sorry. Is he going to be ok?" Felix said, looking worried.
"Yeah. He's not too bad off." Piers says, then notices me. "Ahah! He's awake!"
"Yeah. Thanks for noticing." I said between moans of agony.
"Come on brother, I've got to tend to the hero." Piers says, motioning for Felix to follow.
"B-Brother? You guys are brothers?" I said, and looked at the others, and met their surprised faces staring back at me too.
