Day 07

Mood: Excited

“Did we get lost?”

“You’re the nature guy, shouldn’t you know the way out of this?”

“Just because I can manipulate nature it doesn’t mean I know every inch of every forest out there, and aren’t you a thief, aren’t you the expert of escape plans?”

“I resent that, I am a noble rogue.”

“Please, Robin Hood was five times the man you are, and half the ego too.” 

“Oh shut up, why can’t you conjure up like a giant beanstalk so we can climb out of here.”

“My geomancy is not a part of some stupid fairy tale. I just can’t make something from nothing.”

“Oh come on, there are a plethora of trees here, can’t you do something?” The thief smacked a tree with a long pole. The thief had short blonde hair with bangs that were barely above his sea green eyes. He was completely dressed in white and blue with a white shirt, jeans and a long coat. The Geomancer was dressed in a long gray robe with expanded sleeves which hid his hands.

“Trees can’t grow more branches than they already have and these are already very old trees, if I accelerate the growth they’ll wither and die. Do you want that?” The Thief then looked away and looked as if he was devising a plan. 

“Yes, I would actually like that because dead branches make better fires.” 

“Are you stupid, we’re running away here, do you want to give away our position?” The Geomancer slapped his face with his hand.

“Oh come on, I’m freezing and besides the likelihood of those two getting us is near zero and even if they do get us, we can take them.” The thief smacked his fists together.

“Oh yah because a thief fighting with a flag pole and a geomancer can totally take on a god of time and a homicidal vampire.” The Geomancer said sarcastically.

“Did you just use sarcasm on me? I find that offensive, and I believed in you.” The thief said dramatically.

“Oh come on, yah nature can be a bitch but that guy uses telekinetic swords as weapons, he’ll skewer me before I can get a vine wrapped around his leg.”

“Excuses, excuses, you got to be quick like me.” The thief jogged in place.

“Well excuse me for not being as nimble as you, mister egomania.” The Geomancer crossed his arms and walked away from his friend. The thief quickly leapt above his friend.

“Or someone from our side can see it and get us out of here.”

“The likelihood of that happening is even less than our enemies coming.”

“It doesn’t hurt to try.” The thief said as he tapped a tree with his flag pole, the flag rolled up and tied with a belt. The Geomancer sighed and put his hands on the tree, it then started to shrivel quickly as thousands of years passed in the span of seconds. The tree fell over and the thief started to grin. “Now to cut it into pieces and set it on fire.” The thief smacked pieces of the tree with his pole which shattered and wood chips were being sent flying in every direction. As soon as the thief was done massacring the once great stalwart he looked back at the geomancer. “Now how are we going to set it on fire?” The thief asked. The Geomancer sighed again and snapped his fingers which caused all the pieces of wood to ignite at once. “Sweet, now if only food would fall out of the sky.” The thief looked up and saw the moon, it was full and pale. Suddenly he saw two shadows descend upon them. “Oh crap.” The thief jumped back as a spear of light shot down at their fire. “Hey you dimwit, I spent a lot of time making that fire.” The thief said as he drew his flag pole and released the belt letting the material sway with the wind.

“What a waste of time, you know how many minutes it took to find you? Well let me tell you, it was 269 minutes, that’s four hours and twenty nine minutes of my time searching for you punks.” One of them said as he instantly went from the sky to the ground. He had long white hair that reached down his back, he wore golden spectacles and had a long white stick in his mouth.

“Aeon...” The thief announced his name.

“16,140 seconds.” Aeon remarked stroking his hair with his hand in his other hand was a golden gun with the face of a clock. The other shadow descended and stood next to Aeon. “37 seconds late. What took you so long?” Aeon asked.

“Time is but a nuisance for us immortals, you should know that.” The other one said. His hair was also white but not as long as Aeon’s. It was only to his shoulders and was straight unlike Aeon’s brambly, spiky hair. He dressed in a blue jacket with long coattails and white baggy pants.

“Joachim Armster.” The Geomancer said pulling out a staff from his back.

“Child, you shall not address me by name, you are lower than that.” Joachim snapped his fingers and swords rained down from the sky. They started to spin around him quickly, faster than the eye can see.

“This will be over in but a minute.” Aeon said as he raised his gun.

“If we needed back up now would be the time.” The thief said retreating to his comrade’s side.

“DARKNESS, DRINK OF ANGUISH!”
