Journey: Chapter 22

While Crimson ate a small pile of meat as they sat near a water vein, Forest told her what happened to him. He told her about how he ended up in a different place, how he met Nightfall, the trouble he got into there, and that he met an insect named Nectar.

“So you were somewhere else called ’The Island ’ where you met this pint-sized Troodon who was being hunted down by a large group of his own kind and you got away by a giant bug who picked you guys up, saved you and flew away with you. Then you went to a volcano where you saw a terminal like from an Obelisk that got you here. Well you had a more interesting few days than I have. All I’ve done is hid away from predators and grabbed water.” Crimson saying with a mouth full of meat.

“Well I wish I didn’t have the more interesting time. I nearly got executed.” Forest said.

“Okay are we done talking, because it’s getting dark, and we should probably get moving to the Green Obelisk.” Nightfall said.

“Yeah, I think we’re done, I told Crimson everything that happened.” Forest said to Nightfall.

“Now wait, I have a few more questions about you Nightfall. Can you answer my questions while we walk?” Crimson asked while finishing her meal. Nightfall groaned

“Fine, let’s just get moving. Start asking away.” Nightfall said as he started walking.

Forest and Crimson walked with him “Okay, how do you know to speak Coelacanth?” Crimson asked,

“Well, I can speak more than that, I can speak most species languages including Human.” Nightfall stated.

“But how?” Crimson asked again,

“Uh.” Nightfall started he looked over at Forest for a moment.

“You can, we aren’t going to be hunted here, plus even if you don’t. We would have already endangered her by being with her.” Forest said.

“What?? You know why Forest?” Crimson said confused.

“Yeah and you will too.” Nightfall said “Okay here why.” Nightfall said.

Nightfall began to tell Crimson everything about his part of the story. About him being apart of a secret society of Troodons, that to join you have to learn something of importance and he chose Linguistics, how he learned more about the ancient knowledge of the Order, how he resigned from the Order and what that meant, having to kill two members to not get killed himself how he met Forest and their encounter with the Order.

“So Forest, you made friends unknowingly with an outlaw of a secret society that wants him dead and that makes you and me accomplices with him? Count me in!” Crimson said.

“Well, I think that part of his story is over Crimson. So I think that we aren’t accomplices to him anymore either.” Forest said,

“Well, probably not” Nightfall said as he climbed up on a rock to get a good view.

“What?” Both Crimson and Forest said in unison.

“After a few days, if the Order don’t already know. They will send out a message informing them that a member has resigned and is on the loose. And since I was with a wild who so happens to be the leader of the Five.-”

“I am not the leader.” Forest cut in.

“You kind of are though.” Crimson said after.

“Okay, Back to the point! Which means that we will be hunted down on any place we step foot. Which is why I want to get out of here before night falls.” Nightfall continued on after being interrupted,

“Ah Hah!!!!” Nightfall yelled.

“The Green Obelisk is ove-”

“WHO DARES DISTRIBUTE MY SLUMBER!!!! FOR THEY SHALL PAY!!!!!!” Something said out-loud for the three to hear.
