Somewhere in the forest - Everbloom Forest - Aeterna
Jason cried in the dark for what seemed to be two hours.
The rain had finally subsided and the forest quieted so that the only thing you could hear was the faint sound of insects and the water dripping off of the trees.
Jason gathered himself and stood up, wiping the tears away from his eyes.
(I-I've got to keep moving. Tyruss's men will be looking for me. They're probably at my house by now...)
By a stream- Everbloom Forest - Aeterna
Jason walked over to the stream and crouched down, not wanting to dirty his pants by kneeling.
He then began to wash away his tears with the cool water by cupping his hands and putting his face into them.
After that, he drank from the stream.

After training some time and perfecting the fireball Sidna gathered her supplies and got ready to hunt. It had been some time since she had been alone hunting for someone, but she enjoyed it.
It meant that she got to keep all the fun to herself. She walked into the house of a speed magician she knew. He excelled greatly in transporting persons over large distances.
"Good day Sidna, what brings you here today?" the man greeted. "I need a transport. I'm going on kid hunting." she answered. "That child that killed all off those men I assume.
Just promise me that you'll be careful. Don't want to see you getting killed or something like that." he said. He then proceeded to transport Sidna to the old house where the child had once lived.
Once there she met a few men looking trough the building after clues. She walked up to one of the men to ask about the situation. "How is it going here? Do you have idea about where he went?" she asked.
"No, we don't even have a single trace. The dogs can't locate the smell either as the wind seems to be blowing the wrong direction. We're assuming he went into the forest, but without a trace we can't track him."
Sidna then proceeded to turn the wind until the dogs got a trace. "Do you mind me taking one of the dogs. I want to try to approach him alone first" she asked. "No problem, the dogs are trained so they'll come back to use if you tell them to" he said.
Sidna then walked into the forest following the dog.

"One batch of ice cold water, coming right up." Rosmerta opened a barrel filled with cold water and filled a cup with it. "You want anything to drink with that?"
Right then, Nicole finished her performance. The townfolks loved it, hooting and cheering.
"Soul-stirring." Gravel sniffed.
"Encore!" A scrawny man wearing a miner's hat suggested.
The townfolks in the inn began to shout in unison: "Encore!" "Come on, one more song!"
"Then how about that one song, Freda's Freedom? I know you guys love it." Nicole laughed, removing the pick and relying on her fingers for the song.
The crowd cheered: "Yeah!" "That song!" "Alright!", and Nicole began playing.

By a stream- Everbloom Forest - Aeterna
After Jason finished drinking, he thought up of an eventuality.
(I don't have anything to carry water. I need to find something in the forest to use. Maybe I can find an animal and tan it for leather.)
Jason walked through the forest until he heard the snapping noise of a twig to his far left.
He darted his head to his left, thinking that Tyruss's men must have found him, but he was pleasantly surprised.
What he saw was a deer, quietly walking through the forest.
Perhaps it was heading to it's den, or found that night was the best time to come out, due to it's predators being either asleep or elsewhere.
(Sorry buddy, but this is the wild. I need you in order to survive...)
Jason pulled a metal spike out of one of his pouches, aimed it at the deer, and threw it.
As it flew through the air, Jason augmented it's velocity, causing it to fly at 600 mph, sub-sonic speeds.
The metal spike slammed right into the deer's head, killing it instantly. The deer dropped to the ground and laid there.
Jason walked over to the deer, pulled out the metal spike, and began his work.
Jason cut a large section of skin off of the deer's torso.
He then went back to the river to rinse the blood and dirt off, being very thorough.
Once he finished, he then began to remove the deer's fur. Jason focused on the molecules that held the fur together, causing them to vibrate faster and faster. The fur then burst into flames and withered away.
He then washed it again, then singed the whole length of soon-to-be leather.
He then began imitating the process of using a chromium sulphate bath, causing the animal skin to quickly turn into leather before his eyes.
Once that was finished, he then turned the leather into a water pouch and filled it with water.
It took him an hour or two, but now he had a way to store water.
Jason put the water-skin away and continued his walk. He didn't have a destination in mind, but he was happy, just as long as he got away from home.

The huntress took the water and looked at it with calm "Thank you" she said to the owner and started letting the liquid go into her mouth, the refreshing water was something she desired for quite a long time.
Kris then looked at the bard playing another song for her crowd and listened to it while drinking her beverage ("Would you look at that, one of the last bards in this world and plays quite good, must be a natural") she chuckled a bit and took of her quiver to check her arrows
Tightening each leather strap of the arrows and sharpening the many points was soemething Kris could do almost with her eyes closed as she touched the small wooden cilinder, the wood was resistant and easy to prepare as she looked at her recently used arrow.
Finishing her drink, the huntress then started sharpening her ebony sword while whistling calmly to enjoy the time

Somewhere in The Everbloom Forest - Aeterna
After creating his water-skin, Jason continued his trek through the drying mud.
It was dark and the trees were obscuring the light from the moon, but Jason knew that if he were to create a flame, it would give away his position.
Jason walked all the way until he found shelter.
It was a large cave system and luckily, it didn't have any evidence of wolves or bears living around it.
Jason entered the cave system and found a place to lay down.
Tomorrow, he would continue his drifting, perhaps to a nearby town.

Spera - 12:25 AM
Vohr arrived on the battlefield as Phenom killed off the last remaining Regiusian in his area. He studied the young warrior briefly before calling out to him.
"So, you're the one causing us all of our supply problems, huh?" Vohr asked.
Phenom didn't speak. He just stood there, staring angrily at Vohr.
"Not going to talk to me, huh? Fine. We'll speak with actions then." He continued as he dismounted his horse. "Show me your resolve!"
As he said this, Vohr crouched down and raised his arms, standing back up with them. As he rose, so did a wall of flame that surrounded the two warriors. Phenom stood his ground, however, and prepared for the next attack. Vohr snapped his fingers and the ground beneath Phenom became superheated, catching Phenom off guard. He leaped from his position moments before the ground beneath him erupted into a concentrated flame. Landing somewhat off-kilter, Phenom steadied himself and prepared to charge Vohr, who promptly erected several pillars of flame as a defense.
"Come on! Show me what Phenom's Rebels can do! Come and kill me, you worthless scum!"
Phenom scoffed at such a pathetic defensive field. He crouched and coiled his right leg, quickly extending his body and firing his leg into the ground. The force propelled him towards Vohr with blinding speed. As he drew close, the pillars of flame began to expand, covering up the opening Phenom was aiming for and forcing him to stop his body mid-flight. From behind the new wall of flame separating Phenom from Vohr, the Regiusian commander aimed his hand at the rebel, a pair of flames swirling around his arm. As they met each other at his palm, the build up turned into a cannon, and Vohr fired a large fireball in Phenom's direction. Still stepping back away from the wall, Phenom was surprised by the sudden attack and dodged to his left, the fireball grazing his side and scorching off part of his shirt covering his right kidney area.
"Great... now I've got to get this patched..." Phenom mumbled to himself. He looked in Vohr's general direction, unable to see him through the flames. "You're pretty good, aren't you?!"
"Lots of practice with whelps like you thinking they can overthrow something as powerful as Tyruss's empire. To me, you're just another kill. And it's about time I cooked your ass."
Vohr snapped his fingers once more and the scorched portion of Phenom's shirt burst into flames. Phenom stumbled backwards and repeatedly smacked the flames in an attempt to beat them out before giving up and simply bringing down a showers of rain on him to put out the flames. Thankfully the scorch hadn't grown much and he made it out with light burns.
"So you can only affect objects near you with your speed magic, hmm? You'd be no match for Malus if he were here.." Vohr mocked. He could see through the flames... or rather, his flames acted as an extension of his eyes.
Malus... why did that name sound so familiar to Phenom? He shrugged it off and drove his foot into the ground, causing some of the road to break up and sail into the air. He stopped the numerous pieces of debris from falling and struck them in Vohr's direction, speeding them up as he hit them. The sheer speed of the objects caught Vohr off guard and he suffered several small pieces of shrapnel tearing into his left arm and leg as he tried to evade.
"Hmm... perhaps a tactical retreat is in order. Next time..." Vohr muttered angrily. He erected a large pillar of flame around Phenom in order to trap him while he made his escape. Fire magic had a minimum range and Phenom would have to worry about the rest of the soldiers in Spera anyway.

By a stream- Everbloom Forest - Aeterna
Sidna made her way after the boy into the forest. She didn't really like forests so much it was hard to see the target and they had it easy to get away.
She also couldn't resort to fire to much because of the danger of burning down the forest. Eventually she reached a stream. There was lot's of footprints all over the area.
("Looks like he stopped here for a bit to get water. That means that he can't be a water, earth, wood or ice mage.") After some more time wandering around the area she found the dead deer.
She proceeded to investigate the deer. ("There is no other damage to this deer other than too it's skull. Looks like he can throw hard. Might be that it was damaged more and that he just killed it off by smashing it's head too.
In that case there sound magic which he could have created a so loud sound to pretty much kill it. That would alert the soldiers of where he were though. Maybe he used wind magic to throw it into the air. Fire magic too burn it.
Lightning magic maybe? He could also have blinded it with light. Speed I don't know too much about, but I think that's too rare to consider.")
After wondering about how he killed the deer she began making some food for herself before continuing. It was getting dark but she didn't care. Tonight she was hunting a kid.

A Cave System - Everbloom Forest - Aeterna
Jason laid there in the cold, not shivering, but it was chilly.
The faint whistling through the caves didn't help. If anything, it sounded as if there were ghosts deeper in the cave.
This caused Jason to shudder as images of grotesque looking creatures formed in his mind.
Ghosts chased him in his mind with their decrepit curled fingers and their shriveled faces, revealing their old teeth, hungering for his soul.
Jason couldn't sleep, he was on edge.
(What if they find me while I sleep? They're going to kill me in my sleep. I can't fall asleep. I'll sleep when I get into town. Yea, that sounds good.)
Jason got up and began to walk out of the cave system, out into the moonlight.
The moon shined down on the trees, causing the trees to glow with a slight silvery-green color. The animals of the night could be heard all around, as long as someone had good hearing.
Jason considered his options.
Should he keep going North, maybe North-West? What about South? No, that would take him back home. He could always go West, but then he would end up over a ravine.
His best bet would be to go North-West. From there, he could go to one of the various mining towns and get more materials, to finish his father's armor, then to finish Tyruss.
Jason walked out of the cave and back into the forest, this time going North-West.

Finishing her work on the sword, Kris got up and gave some money to the inn owner and went outside to see the stars
The sky was clean and the full moon gave that aura of pureness to the town, the stars as always covered the darkness of the night. The huntress took a deep breath feeling the air in her lungs
"I wonder what does the empire will do to towns like this, here there is almost nothing to be worried aside from local animals" Kris said to herself going to the hill and took a seat on the top of the rocky surface. She searched in her backpack and found a telescope.
Kris took it and looked to the faraway horizon trying to see anything from torches or dust created by horses
