Archon Dream

[ShadeyBirdy]

-I looked at the floor ashamed and embarrassed by my foolish reasoning. I hid my face lifting a hand to pretend to scratch my nose ,but instead I wiped a tear off my face.- "If I could find flint and steel I could start a fire for you...." -It was difficult to keep a flat tone ,but I somehow pulled it off. I looked up at them both shoving my hands into my pockets and slouching a bit.- "Or we could try to find others. Maybe someone else will have a light for you." -I shuffled my feet a bit kicking up some dirt. I looked down again feeling depression weigh down on my shoulders making me slouch slightly more. Not on earth what was I thinking? I feel so stupid. The other two must think i'm mental or something. I kept my face blank not revealing my thoughts.-

"I have no clue." The black haired guy said and then turned towards the trees and spoke: "How about you, you have any idea what's going on?".

A black haired girl came out from the shadows that the trees provided and spoke: "Definitely not earth. I would have woken up if I had been kidnapped and brought here.... It's obvious none of us are familiar with this place. Logically and going by horror movies I think we should stick together and look for more people.". Althea nodded accepting the girl's idea.

"Not earth? What are you saying, someone kidnapped us and took us to Mars?" He replied with heavy sarcasm and then looked around. The guy later expressed his distrust towards both Althea and the dark haired girl but she couldn't be mad at him for his choice. Althea had been told sometimes that she was too trusty.

"Oh thank God!" He exclaimed as he drew out a cigarette from his backpack. "Oh come on!" He exclaimed and then looked at the two girls, "You guys...Uh...Wouldn't happen to have a lighter...Would you?" He smiled and scratched his cheek awkwardly.

Althea shook her head no and spoke for the first time in a while: "Nope, but I think we should indeed try to find if there are others around... By the way, my name is Althea but you can call me Thea if you want." Althea said awaiting from an answer from her new 'partners'.

Quinn opened his eyes and was almost scared to death as a big dog was right in front of him.
"Whaaaa...!!!" Quinn screamed and tried to get up and hit his head against something hard. As he turned around there was a wall, a stone wall right behind him. Quinn began to panic as he didn't like dogs and tried to get away by slipping past it but then a voice said;
"Don't worry miss, he won't do a thing." A friendly, elder man said and grabbed the leather band around the dogs neck and pulled it back.
Quinn stood up, slowly not to provoke the dog.
"Umm... Thank you sir." He said and then first noticed that the man was wearing quiet strange clothes. They looked like those in the mediveal festivals he always visited. Then Quinn looked around himself and also saw the roof of the house before him was made out of strew. He then turned abck to the man asking;
"Could you maybe tell me where I am?" while looking around, trying to figure some landmarks he knew.
"This is the town of Honarc, a small but busy merchant town. And how about you miss, your clothes are the most unusal I have ever seen and I'm a merchant with 50 years experience." The man answerd friendly and began to walk toward the bit more lively street.
"Umm... I think the place I come from is very far away, it is a place called America, I belive you haven't heard about it, right?" Quinn said and first now noticed a small bag that he had around his waist.
"No, that is a strange name for a place to live..." The man said, "But it doesn't matter. Oh... before I forget, would you like to do me a favour? I will pay you for it." He went forward. Quinn was curious what the man wanted;
"What would you like me to do?" He asked.
"I wuld like you to work as an attraction for my booth on todays market. Such a beauty as you would attract many customers." The man said and smiled to Quinn.
"Working as a booth babe? I have enough experience in that kind of thing that it would be funny." Quinn thought;
"Sure, it would be an honor to work with you mister." He said and followed the man.

The night was quiet. The moon was at it's fullest, the stars shining, no clouds. The streets of New Orleans were quiet, for the really rare nights it is. No body was up, all passed out drunk from Mardi Gras party's, or having a good time in their rooms. Only one thing human was up, and out.

The shadow of a human form passed over a wooden fence, broken down, and tarnished. The shadow creep-ed over the road's, gardens, and front's of houses. It was low to the ground, and not very tall. The shadow suddenly straightened, and disappeared. If one was to stand on the other side of the fence, they would see a small figure shrouded with a black trench coat, creep under a small hole, looking like it was dug by a dog.

The figure was a girl, by the lost name of Leona Rawford, the lost heiress of the Rawford Fortune. It was told that she had been kidnapped, she had been killed, and other silly stories. In truth, the Rawford's did not want an heir, and had gotten rid of the babe at first glance. Of course, the girl did not know that. She did not know anything. All she had on her mind, as was for the past fifteen years, to get to her little tree to sleep. Looking back and forth, she ran, fleet footed and lithe. She jumped when she got to the edge of the forest not too far off. She grabbed hold of the low branch of the tall oak tree. Climbing with the ability honed by escaping anything throughout her life. With a last humph, she ended up on a sturdy branch. With a small sigh, she closed her eyes. And reopened them in a dream, where she was suddenly transported, through ways she did not understand nor worry about.

Annoyed, Bryon shoved the cigarette back into the pack and tossed the backpack back over his shoulder. He grumbled for a bit about the situation, before looking back at Thea. "Yeah...Looking for someone that could explain things would be the best course of action..." He looked around a bit, and noticed a rocky hill not too far away. "Lets go over there," He said as he pointed toward the hill, "Maybe the extra height will help us find some civilization. At the very least we'll be able to figure out some basic directions." He started walking, but stopped and looked back over his shoulder, "Oh, my name is Bryon by the way, nice to meet you Thea." He waved behind him half heartedly as he continued walking.

-I followed behind the two silently keeping back and away from them so I wouldn't bother them. I stayed silent not bothering to tell them my name. I was of no use to them I just wanted to know where I was so I could run off and find a safe place to stay. What did I matter to these two? I didn't know them in the least. I slipped a butterfly knife from my pocket and began to play with it.-

Leona Rawford opened her eyes. Her mind processed two things. One. She was in a dream. Two. Three people were walking right by her face.

She was lying in soft green grass, flowers around her, a forest off to the west. She instantly was alert, and popped up like a cannon, getting into a crouch. She had a backpack on her shoulders, and a whip in her hand in a quick flash. Eyes on all three, she backed up, then quickly climbed a tree, and sat looking at them, whip around her fist.

"Lets go over there" They guy said as he pointed towards a hill that was close by, "Maybe the extra height will help us find some civilization. At the very least we'll be able to figure out some basic directions." He started walking, but then stopped and looked back over his shoulder to both girls, "Oh, my name is Bryon by the way, nice to meet you Thea." He waved and continued to walk.

Thea nodded and smiled and proceeded to walk in the direction of the hill. She turned her head back and saw the dark haired girl walking behind them, she walked slow enough so that they were pretty distanced. At this Althea frowned and slowed her pace.

"Hey you never told me your name" She started as she catch up with the quiet girl's pace, "Come on, don't be shy we don't bite... well I'm not sure about Byron, but I don't." She finished with a quirky smile.

[ShadeyBirdy]

"If you bite or not it doesn't matter to me. Pain is nothing to me." -I glanced at her keeping my expressionless face.- "There is no reason to know my name either. Call me what you will. Titles are useless." -I separated from her and kept my distance once again singing softly to myself making sure to sing quiet enough so they wouldn't hear unless they got just a few feet away.-

Bryon eavesdropped on the conversation behind him as the ground started getting more rocky and the incline started getting steeper, "I don't bite..." He grumbled to himself, he didn't mean to come off that gruff but the situation called for it. When the nameless girl dismissed Thea's attempt at making friends, he looked back at her suspiciously. Why would someone be so defensive? I can understand being cautious, but that's a bit overkill... He thought to himself as he eyed the two girls, Thea seems pretty trustworthy though, and pretty cute too. He looked her over quickly and turned away before she noticed.
