TAKI'S POINT OF VIEW.
It is a grey, dull morning sky.
However,
Instead of being refreshed from a goodnight rest,
Yal and I on the contrary;
-Barely slept a wink-
The reason simply being because we were,
-Absolutely starving-
Presently ,Yal is literally tearing up and I'm quite sullen,
-Now I know exactly how beggars feel like-,
"Hey Taki…. What do we do?, if those horrible creatures don't kill us then starvation will" he grumbles in frustration.
I sigh heavily and state;
"I guess we have to find food somehow"
He glares at me and folds his arms,
"You make it sound so easy the moment we stand up from here we'll get attacked!", he gripes loudly,
I shrug;
"Sitting here will not help us anyway… so, let's go"
I stand up to walk away.
At first Yal just sits on the grass staring at me incredulously, but once I'm plenty feet away, he realizes I'm being serious.
He pulls himself up and comes running.
TAKI'S POV END.

THE HOODED ONE'S POINT OF VIEW.
I am just trudging steadily through the gates of the Reverred Training centre when I am met by Zael.
-A rather fascinating Mage fellow-
He has been patiently waiting for me at the gates.
"Well Upper Mage...did anything go amiss?...you ended up not capturing him" he asks.
I turn to him sharply;
-Seriously?; this is his welcome?-,
"And who told you that I located him in the first place Zael?"
I ask, very calmly.
Zael looks at me curiously, and shrugs;
"Well, I'm just hoping this has nothing to do with your friendship of the past"
I chuckle.
"Is this an accusation?" I ask, my tone sombre, Zael smiles nervously,
"Forgive my prodding…" he bows and walks away,
I sigh heavily to myself;
-Zael is fascinating because he always manages to maintain skepticality about my affairs-
He must have anticipated me coming back without Fenice, just so he could accuse me just as he did now.
-To think he was literally waiting for me at the gates-
One of these days;
-I'd like to convert him-
THE HOODED ONE'S POV END.

CAMADA'S POINT OF VIEW.
"A stream! I see a stream!" I yell to Rave excitedly;
He rushes over to my side.
We look at the stream, it is downhill and a slopy area.
Rave and I climb down together and rush into the water, -Suddenly-
The 'stream' fades out,
And in its place;
- Is a huge beast-
I puke.
CAMADA'S POV END.

TAKI'S POINT OF VIEW.
I gingerly climb the tree.
"Don't fall!, Be careful" Yal yells to me,
I grit my teeth.
I am still annoyed that this chicken of a guy refused to climb;
-I am absolutely not going to give him any of the fruits I pluck-
Only a bit more, and I can finally reach the fruits.
-I have never climbed a tree before, I am simply amazed that I'm actually doing this-
SNAP.
A branch gives way and I find myself falling through,
I am mentally preparing my mind for the kind of pain my body colliding with the floor is going to have.
Luckily for me, Yal lets his arms out to catch me, he holds me firmly.
I give a sigh of relief as I get down from his arms.
"A quite un-royal behavior we have been forced to potray" Yal mumbles quietly ,
I laugh;
"It's for survival and besides…this isn't a first for me…"
-A convenient lie-
I begin to climb up again, he watches me and then suddenly he reached up to hold me back.
"Don't worry…I shall climb this time". he mutters shakily.
I laugh out loud.
-Un-royal behavior indeed-
TAKI'S POV END.
