I realized my stupidity about five hours after I started walking in the mountains. It was getting dark and I had walked into the wilderness of an unknown world without any of the necessities. No food, not a clue about any of the freaky animals and fruits in this forest, and no map. I might be pretty close to death if I weren't able to make my own water and warmth.506Please respect copyright.PENANAzTcuUFGjIg

I decided to take it out on a poor tree nearby. I punched and kicked it continually. I think I heard something in the distance but I didn't really care. That is, until my new punching bag became another persons face. Some idiot jumped in the way of the poor tree and took the hit for it.506Please respect copyright.PENANASJNDFNlFXD
506Please respect copyright.PENANApLFWPoAmF2
Unfortunately this someone was really weak and passed out at the first hit. I dragged the person around with me, on my back until I found a cave. I made a fire in my hand and made it float towards the roof of the cave to give me more light.506Please respect copyright.PENANAeATyWUAklj
506Please respect copyright.PENANATFmiuHqcL1
I examined the persons face. He had light brown, short hair. He was wearing just a plain shirt and jeans. He had a backpack strapped to his back and I decided to take a look inside to see if I could find some food or something. I didn't.506Please respect copyright.PENANAGkTxn95Oo9

"I guess I should make sure he's alright," I told myself. I looked at his face and saw that he had a bloody nose. Since it was mostly my fault, I decided to help him out. I made a small ball of water in my hand and pulled it into a line shape. I swirled the water below his nose and to where it had dripped below his mouth. I wish I could freeze it. That would make a good ice pack.506Please respect copyright.PENANAuQfRU6Majd
506Please respect copyright.PENANAxUXFTqcjgx
"Maybe I can," I said to myself. Okay. I'm starting to creep myself out with all this talking to myself.506Please respect copyright.PENANAuktz5ZQqjE
506Please respect copyright.PENANAHDzhsljh1S
I concentrated on the small orb of water and realized it was full of blood. I quickly dissolved the water into the air and watched the blood fall to the ground. I created a new one and started to focus on that one. I concentrated on it. I then imagined the small orb freezing in my mind. I got close but only managed to make the water colder.506Please respect copyright.PENANAUNRq2AmFTT
506Please respect copyright.PENANA318nbLVTEY
The light in the room started to get weaker and weaker. I looked up and realized that the fire had shrunk to about the size of a quarter because I wasn't focusing on it anymore. I diminished the light and went outside to see if I could find any sticks or twigs to hold onto the fire for me.506Please respect copyright.PENANAey3lSxqahm
506Please respect copyright.PENANAdur9uAL7IR
I found a good pile of them and brought them back to the cave. I made a small pile and kindled another fire. This time I set it down on the small pile. The sticks started to burn.506Please respect copyright.PENANALr3T4oZnJe
506Please respect copyright.PENANACcMsD1NqQq
"I wonder if my fire can burn people?" I asked myself. Again? Talking to myself? Creepy. Back to my question. It probably could because it was fire. I decided to test my theory.506Please respect copyright.PENANAp51H5AgohN
506Please respect copyright.PENANALZNwSoVYbF
I lit a small fire on the tip of my finger. I slowly moved it to the boy's wrist. When I got close, I stopped to see if he noticed any heat. When he didn't move, I pressed the small fire to his wrist.506Please respect copyright.PENANAd1EwxeSGiU
506Please respect copyright.PENANAo3gP9VN0Sk
"Ahhhhhhh!" He yelled now completely awake. He looked over at me and then down at his wrist. He yelled again, this time grabbing my wrist and pushing me away. "Are you insane!? What are you doing!?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAMmacH2PQkN
506Please respect copyright.PENANAyUnScU8vDY
"Testing to see if you got burned," I said.506Please respect copyright.PENANAad6wsyNqre
506Please respect copyright.PENANACETro1eQQr
"Why!?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAB8KzCmge3N
506Please respect copyright.PENANAemGK4Thi1W
"...just curious."506Please respect copyright.PENANAAm7yhvlEvw
506Please respect copyright.PENANA1APnVRJYyo
He gave me a look like I was a complete idiot and I was rather offended. He looked to his right and noticed the small fire. His confused expression suddenly turned to one of fear.506Please respect copyright.PENANAZlcDML5OjF
506Please respect copyright.PENANAdtfG170Dmw
"Stop it!" He yelled launching himself on the fire. "Don't burn the sticks!" He landed on the fire with a thud and started to yell tears coming to his eyes.506Please respect copyright.PENANAlsbGBYqgjZ
506Please respect copyright.PENANAA546b05XkZ
"What are you doing!?" I yelled putting my hands on his ankles to drag him off the fire.506Please respect copyright.PENANA013dJ3ETlk
506Please respect copyright.PENANAIrJFwZ3xW9
The yelling stopped but the crying didn't.506Please respect copyright.PENANAh5KZh2tbT3
506Please respect copyright.PENANArbL2kiNYaR
"What happened?" He asked.506Please respect copyright.PENANAZXFvPhyLek
506Please respect copyright.PENANAJK12vFsSLD
Maybe the fire didn't burn people, but only when I was touching him. I took my hands off his ankles and the yelling started again. I quickly put my hands back on his ankle and he stopped again. I pulled him away from it making sure not to let go.506Please respect copyright.PENANA938xV6ZSyG
506Please respect copyright.PENANAbYHoxXFWkY
"Put the fire out!" He yelled struggling against my grip. This guy was really weak I was holding onto his ankle with one hand and he couldn't manage to break free. Pathetic.506Please respect copyright.PENANACDnVWWwPif
506Please respect copyright.PENANApYM2tTU6WN
"Why?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAbPTijl5tRw
506Please respect copyright.PENANACWYZMqJLw5
"Because you're hurting the sticks!?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAhgl7AroRV6
506Please respect copyright.PENANAGB2enxI5zZ
"I'm hurting... the sticks?" Great. This guy wasn't only weak, he was also insane.506Please respect copyright.PENANAgS5MCnX0En
506Please respect copyright.PENANAzz6APv2nLL
"Yes! Now please put it out!" He begged. He looked back at me with those puppy dog eyes that you can only get from puppies and cute kids.506Please respect copyright.PENANA0sRDaXjXqn
506Please respect copyright.PENANAWBKtdHsZly
I couldn't resist. I put the fire out and was rewarded with a pat on the head. Who does this guy think he is?506Please respect copyright.PENANA6lyBJGN5CT
506Please respect copyright.PENANAEkV4Rhmxfk
I looked down at his chest and noticed a huge burn. I noticed that my hand was still on his ankle and let go. Tears immediately came back into his eyes and he started to cling to me. This guy was like a little kid! He buried his head on my shoulder. I could tell that the pain immediately went away but he didn't want to let go. Probably because he didn't want to feel the pain again.506Please respect copyright.PENANAi8kzIfk9Gn
506Please respect copyright.PENANA7XqY50FejD
I thought of the best way to help heal a burn. Aloe Vera would probably help but who knew if I would hind that on this huge planet. I kept thinking.506Please respect copyright.PENANAcNDEfZpJav
506Please respect copyright.PENANANDwNBtlIwR
"Water!" I exclaimed making the boy jump. "Water will help the burn."506Please respect copyright.PENANA34wpMYpH5r
506Please respect copyright.PENANAn32AQeHesM
"Okay," he said, "but where are you going to find water on this huge mountain?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAbba1a5Fe0b
506Please respect copyright.PENANAmR5J0MfCtv
"Just watch." I detached him from me and his eyes filled with tears again. He clung to me...again. I tried to detach him again this time making sure to keep one hand on his shoulder. I made a small ball of water in my other hand.506Please respect copyright.PENANAwZfqUc9gC5
506Please respect copyright.PENANA2ABvTeIM5M
I looked back at the boy and he was giving me one of those looks you get from little kids like you're the most amazing person ever. The look you get when you do something sorta cool in front of a little kid that they can t do. But his look was even more admiring than that. I didn't know what to do so I just decided to get to it.506Please respect copyright.PENANAW0FNLxGeGS
506Please respect copyright.PENANAYQPQiJ2Sok
"Can you take off your shirt?" I asked. He snapped out of his daze and suddenly became really shy.506Please respect copyright.PENANAJHjhrt2BZI
506Please respect copyright.PENANA7XGv0vcrtD
"But if you take off my shirt then you'll see..." I didn't know what to make of this guy.506Please respect copyright.PENANAJtsZkVZoTD
506Please respect copyright.PENANAJdpPGQCIXy
"Take it off before I burn it off!"506Please respect copyright.PENANADaMkcLnudm
506Please respect copyright.PENANAIhEm5E57mI
He jumped and decided it was best not to disobey me. He pulled his shirt off making sure not to let go of my wrist. I noticed that his chest was covered in scars. I would probably have to get use to that in this world. Lots of people would probably have scars here if this planet if this planet was built off fear. But then there were people like Obi who's power had nothing to do with being injured.506Please respect copyright.PENANA2bERdoub5B
506Please respect copyright.PENANAA4gtnivYid
"Um..?" The boy said looking at me with a rosy shade of red set on his face.506Please respect copyright.PENANAcH5EL4IXFW
506Please respect copyright.PENANATCkMjTlowx
"Right," I said. I started swirling the water over the burn. It would normally hurt but I guess it didn't because my hand was still on his shoulder. I started to squint. It was really hard to see in the dark.506Please respect copyright.PENANAryFrVru5RM
506Please respect copyright.PENANA7kMEyCIbuP
"You can let go," he said, "I mean...if it makes easier." I let go and I could tell that he felt pain but refused to show it. He bit his lip and tried to put his "brave face" on. I couldn't help but laugh.506Please respect copyright.PENANAPoi7c0e4sy
506Please respect copyright.PENANAKSYDjyqyJq
I made a small ball of fire with my other hand and made sure to try to focus on both.506Please respect copyright.PENANAl00FWhkQDw
506Please respect copyright.PENANAzzNQaljU1c
"My names James," he said out of nowhere.506Please respect copyright.PENANAH3FC1xCNmh
506Please respect copyright.PENANAx75aLuET9u
"I'm Ai. It's nice to meet you."506Please respect copyright.PENANAXvQVYEgOrV
506Please respect copyright.PENANAj9GqvB96vM
"Um..."506Please respect copyright.PENANAQjF0WBLoBL
506Please respect copyright.PENANAWSvXwpYgl9
He obviously wanted to say something but something was holding him back.506Please respect copyright.PENANA9mskPuDTba
506Please respect copyright.PENANAoL9XkMgtyL
"Since you showed me your powers, I'd feel bad if I didn't at least tell you what mine is. I can control plants and stuff."506Please respect copyright.PENANAmWuuM6Yy5Q
506Please respect copyright.PENANA8H2bWnQWhM
"Hey James? Can I ask you a question?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAjCXaCEgtfX
506Please respect copyright.PENANAK2HXxI0zTy
"Sure. What is it?" He seemed eager to answer any questions that I was going to ask.506Please respect copyright.PENANAVypxuKZize
506Please respect copyright.PENANAtFyNVn8N52
"What are you trying to do in this world? What's your goal?" I don't know why, but I was curious. I figured that if his goal was good enough, I might be able to help him with it.506Please respect copyright.PENANA4KtUAeTlNb
506Please respect copyright.PENANArke0aMxaAg
"My goal? To form a strong party and be the strongest in the whole world!" He seemed rather confident. But I have to admit, that wasn't the answer that I was expecting from someone like him.506Please respect copyright.PENANAEmTMi6DG6i
506Please respect copyright.PENANAYSMBhir06l
I remember what Fie had told me about parties. Apparently they were a group of people who came together to form one strong team to accomplish a common goal or to just stay together and work together as a group of friends.506Please respect copyright.PENANAXuPvLrDqEZ
506Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uagx200Z3
"Okay!" I said. "Then I'm going to join you!"506Please respect copyright.PENANAHU7qqRPkJN
506Please respect copyright.PENANAVZxJ6knR65
"Wait! What!?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAeSsE6khpD5
506Please respect copyright.PENANAKOJ4hJWkRm
"Yep! Since I have nothing better to do and nowhere to go, I'm going to join your party! Okay?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAwypnIjzJTr
506Please respect copyright.PENANAbcmFODH5v7
"S...sure. I guess I could use someone as strong as you. Welcome to the party!" He seemed to be getting happier and happier the more he thought of the advantages of me joining. "You're the first member of the party. And since we don't have a leader yet, I want you to be the leader."506Please respect copyright.PENANAzla5xbAbOg
506Please respect copyright.PENANAPrGSGEHjPY
"Wait. Why me?"506Please respect copyright.PENANA0WQWFXWGxS
506Please respect copyright.PENANAAg19JP3xpH
"Because I'm weak and bad at leading and really talking to people. And you're a good leader and trustworthy and someone people will feel more comfortable talking to you and I wanna be on a strong team and with me as leader we'll be weak and..."506Please respect copyright.PENANAt45ZkPXy72
506Please respect copyright.PENANA2n5b3ucKLH
"Okay, okay. I get it. I'm in charge." As bad as I felt taking the position of leader from him, he made a good point about him probably being a bad choice as leader. But I felt so bad.506Please respect copyright.PENANAsktSSB88xj
506Please respect copyright.PENANAQoU3vIhRCd
"So what should our party be called?" He asked.506Please respect copyright.PENANAIzJwbsip2s
506Please respect copyright.PENANAHMpENnGbTf
"I don't know, I guess we'll figure it out along the way. K?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAfyGKbA446c
506Please respect copyright.PENANATdF5ajqpjN
"Okay!"506Please respect copyright.PENANAnJsKXOZ0H3
506Please respect copyright.PENANAcWkgflhsHY
This was going to be an... interesting trip. 506Please respect copyright.PENANAbqNmbciLMV
