Away From The Mist
Its been two dawns and one night since my running from the mount mist started.
And here i am watching Another dawn and yet i am wondering where my feet’s leading me to. the only the thing scratching my thoughts is how could for a girl to survive in this island and more than that helping you the small baby i found in my way runing out.
I am still hoping for the king’s guard to find us. But this is far away to be possible the mist had moved and spreaded across other villages and even the fact that there is someone survived the first mist wave is beyond belief. And yet here i am, the last time i saw the king’s guard or like my village calls them **_The Legions of the mist_** thinking that if they call them by this name the legend might come true and the Misty warriors power shall spread across the promised Legions.
My village always believed in myths and legends that was told as tales for thousands of years. And that just brings us the doom of ours, you know my father ones told me how did we end up in this village. Before 300 years whene the island’s third war ended The war of the ancient warrior. This war lasted more than 500 years and for that five islands had draawned in her guards corps or even drawn in**_ the sea of darkness_**. And all this years people feared the mountains of the mist and other prayed for the mist rage. The war emded and nothing happened and people start to believe that the mountain mist are just a myth a legend and not true. But in the east in **_island of Bor_** named by one of the eight warriors as much as the other big island.
in the kingdom city there people leaved in happiness despite the hard work and fightthe nature hardness trying to rebuild the kningdom and extend the size of after a lot of refugees has come to the islnd of bor after the war. But there is one old man called Evan kept warning the king from the rage of the mist because the war has cost a lot of blood and drained the islands. But the king always calmed the man and promises him that ther nothing to fear of and even if the mist rage we are far enough from it. But the old kept doing that and one day the king lost it and tells him in loud voice there is no mist there no rage it is all lies it is legends and tales. That is the first time and first king admits that. The old felt betrayed and announced that he would walk out the kingdom “**_I requested expulsion”_** tha was like demanding to kill yourself. Because out of the kingdom walls arr no human just death.
Evan walked out from the kingdom with a bunch of other people that didn’t like what king admits .after three dawns walk and evan tribe found themself under the mist mountain, and they decided to build there home under it in request of forgiveness. Years and years passed, evan died and his friends also died and village get bigger and other village two dawns far they took a place close to the kingdom for farming land under the king’s guard watch. The people of our village also devided into two people the ones who believed that there none such mist rage or warriors power and took it as tales and other becomes extreme believers even they build stute of worship to evans and his fellowship and gave them the warriors cloke. The thing didn’t take long and Evan village woked into fight between the workers and believers and ended by the believers leaving and they take the mist mountain caves as a home.
But three dawns ago everything got changed i lost everything i lost my home i lost my father.
It was a shine morning i woke up with my father to learning how to throw arrows and it was my first day training after i mastered horse riding, i always wanted to be the village guard as my mother she was the best who throw an arrow even the king asked her to join the king’s guard but she refused and stayed with us but not for long and the sickness brings her time to the end.
Whene we where training one of the believers comes walking in fall blood in his body walked into the middle village and we all watching him and he looked at us and smiled and said the mist is coming and drop dead. People started to wonder what’s happening but not for a second. We heard the death screams wich known as mist sound and we saw a white mist wave runing from the mountains towards us but it didn’t take long to reach us at the same time king’s guard reach the village and all the people runned to them the mist killed half of us in blink of an eye and the homes goes in ashed ad if there where never existed.
Father holding my hand trying to cath place in the guard horse cabin, like i heard crying scream i turn my head i saw you falling in the ground and your mom beside me trying to get place i runned to catch before the mist catches you and i kept running from the mist tryes to catch me and left my father with guardsi didn’t why i did that i just felt it is the right thing to do.
And that how i met you.
**_ Jace_** stared longer to the little baby and stared crying. She grabbed her knees to her chest and put her head down and carried for what it comes to her. **_we are the people of the wild we accept the nature law as much as it is, we hunt to eat, we fight to survive and we learn to live. My dear your mother never gone and you’ll meet her again because only the mountain who never meets _**than she said looking to the sky will i might again dad.
A sound of baby crying touched jace ears and she wooke in shock with the mist images in her brain. She stood and walked a bit on the she talk as little camp. The mist is reaching us, she took off her jacket and ripped it off and made with it shoulder bag to the babe. In here way in the woods she start searching for reen plants it is a plant to make sleep she herd tales that the warriors used as a painkiller or drugs to sleep short whiles.
Why not to use tales as guise in her way and she saw the mist in front of her. After i while of searching she found it innside a dead tree as it told in the tales. She talk a bunch and put it in her pockrt. she took a piece of it and chewed to go soft and juice of the plant make her go lazy. She takes from her mouth and rubs it in baby mouth to stop cry and go to sleep and that raises her chance to stay under The Ghouls sight. And than she washed her by the river to walk her self up and remove reen’s plant effect.
But she saw the mist getting more closer, and she realized that she needs to walk faster with rest for more than two dawns and she said ( and to reach the shore it is the only way out of Bor island)
Dawns past and she still walking. Her body got weak and tired and she didn’t eat for days now but she kept walking and the mist is no further away. And her body is not that taught and she felt on the ground and her eyes closed and she got no resistance.
She opened her eyes into the sky and she saw tress dancing with the winds. The balnket warms on her the smell of the food boiling. A baby cried and that let her jumpe looking for it.
She immediately grabbed a rock and screamed into a tall man with thick browse and long beard his eyes were sharp but each one has it’s own color black and white and he was bald but he baldness was covered but a tattoo over it. He wearing a shattered black cloak with a V shape at it end and the cloak has a golden sword shape button in his neck. The man was calming the baby in his arm and turn to jace and said**_ you are still weak to fight me I prepared for you some food and you need to eat you hadn’t eat for 10 dawns now _**she had mixed thoughts she was going to drop the rock than she raised her arm again and she asked him in high pitched voice **_how do you that i didn’t eat for that long _**with looking at her ge said**_ i can tell stuff _**than he looked her into the eyes and add **_now please eat a bit of food and rest a bit more because we don’t have time the mist is getting close and the ghouls are starving._**
Jace didn’t bother her at the moment with and she eat like she never did. After that he told her how found her in river valley and took by his horse. To her he found the baby calm and he was not that hungry because she took care of him. And she toold him about how she left her father what the mist did but he didn’t seem so suprised after she added that she need to go to the island shore because it is the only way to escape the island the man asked her about your father she didn’t answer him he understood that there nothing to do.
After days of walking the girl reachs the shore and she found old war ship that still do the job and she asked the man if he wants to come with her. He removed his cloak and put around her and he brings from the horse bag map of the sea of darkness and marked for her the close islands and that he also grabbed and daggers made of glass and gave to her and told her **_the road you will take is non safer than this island this map is just a guide and this dagger to keep the monsters of sea away from you._** Than he helped her prepare the ship. Than she asked him again what don’t come with me the island is dying. This time he answered her with a smile and said and to save my island.
She stared at him and said **_you are a strong but the mist kills everything and also there nothing to be saved_**. He smiled and pushed her ship from the shore. She wondered how powerful he is to push a ship this big and she told him **_you never told me your name._**
He walked to his horse and said **_i am Bor the east island warrior and i am gonna save the island as it requeste._**
