Waking up... My favorite part of the day. Not. I can already hear people outside working, packing up probably, they're going to be waiting on me... Great. This forest trip is going to be fun. I can't trust it. After the invaders I can't trust anything anymore. I had trust issues already, great...

Upon exiting my tent, I hear Tubase say, "'Bout time you get up, Sir."

Followed by Sena's soft voice, "Hey sleepy pants! Have a good dream?"

After a chuckle that didn't sound too healthy, Glorin teased, "Sena... Come on you think he had good ones after that? That's funny."

"Oh shut up let's eat, move, and fight... We can't waste time."

"Give us a break sir we just won our first fight!" Glorin is always trying for a rest.

"Glorin, we have orders. Master Adease is instructed by Lord Kunit himself to make sure this is done flawlessly. Wasting time is like ruining Kunit's trust."

"Thank you Tubase."

Wetniol is still starring at me. What is his issue? He has been since I left. I don't know, he is weird. Maybe I should ask him, probably on our ride I'll ask him ahead of everyone. I'll talk to Sena too, sweet. She is only 19, I'm 17, it could work, couldn't it?

Breakfast was good. Time to depart. Yeah.... I get to deal with the fog of the woods. It isn't creepy at all. No way. We mount up and ride.

"Wetniol can I speak with you up here?"

"Yes sir."

In a whisper now, "Wetniol, I noticed you were... different after our fight. Are you okay?"

"No sir, I haven't killed in a long time. I vowed I'd never take human blood again, but I did. I killed yesterday, and it's memories sent a surge through me."

"Why, what is so painful?"

"You're intruding my privacy, but I'll share with you. I worked secretly with the agency for sometime maintaining civil outbreaks. I was one of the top agents. Remember the Riots of Tearing? I was there. That was the last time I killed.

"I was told to go and find the leader of the rioters and to kill him. I didn't disobey. I found him. It was my own brother! He didn't stand down for me, he didn't care what my mission was! 'Brother you are wrong! The government has you false! They made the tears fall! It is their fault we were bombed so many years ago!' I couldn't stand the rage that filled me. All I wanted was my family back, but I knew he'd never be the same. I had to do my job..."

Stunned, "You killed your brother?"

"Yes, with these exact blades. They are of him, his blood strengthen them. Don't tell me to turn back, don't you dare! I want to find the evil that made the riot happen, the bombers will pay for tearing my family like that. They will pay!"

"I'm so sorry Wetniol, I didn't know. I will try my best to watch out for you then. Go back to position."

There is still a lot of forest left... Ugh... I was hoping that would end up taking the whole trip. It didn't, not even half of it.

Ok so this isn't done yet but I'm going to finish it later!
