the start i guess?

"BEGONE GONE FROM HERE DEMON CHILD! IT ASHAMES ME THAT I CALLED YOUMY SON!"

"FATHER NOO!!!"

Screams echo through a forest stretching far and wide for an unknown distance.

'how is it that things turned out this way?'

With a sigh, a young man sits up on the branch of the tree he had fallen asleep in the branches of. With a tired face he sits for a while in the branches with a listless look thinking to himself

"Well, I guess its time to get going again"

Climbing down from the tree he stretches after reaching the ground.

"Welp, time for another tiring walk"

With a dreading tired almost lifeless sigh he starts walking into the direction of the rising sun to the east. For how long he will walk he does not know and for where he is headed he knows not either.

_____________

In another part of the forest miles away in the direction the young man heads towards sits an old man on a log, he too facing the rising sun of the east.

"Maybe its time for a change of things"

With a withered face that speaks of how long he has lived he squint into the eastern sky thinking to himself.

For what seems like hours the young man who had woken up from his nightmare had trekked forward and yet it was a slow stride it was steady. Striding through the shin length grass covered in the morning dew he continues onward for hours till the sun was hanging high above his head to which the only reason he stopped was for hydration.

"slrrrp~~~"

Slurping up a crystal clear water from a spring filled by a tiny stream slithering inbetween the trees out of sight he sighs once again lifelessly.

"What did I do?"

Stopping himself from drinking any more water he takes a breath and looks into the eyes with a lost blank stare portraying his tumultuous thoughts.

"Why it seems the change of pace has come about sooner then I expected"

From the quiet trees an aged voice sounded out from somewhere out of sight to the young man. For what he could not see was only something simple, an aged face with a slight grin.
