• Chapter One

    It had been three days since Red was wondering through a forest which he referred as a “wasteland.” He was starving, and became very defensive. Red began to believe that he was going in a big circle. The bad thing was he did not even remember how he got here or what happened to Purple in the first place.

    Suddenly he heard something moving, whatever it was began moving pretty fast. All Red could think about was if it came near him he would kill it. The noise stopped and silence had returned to this dark forest. Red began to continue his possible long walk toward nowhere. Something stopped him, He thought it was nothing until he looked down. It was an alien being that might have turned to stone.

    “What is this?” Red thought.

    “This is what becomes of those who dare to battle the Scorthicol.” A deep feminine voice said

    “You take one step near me and you won’t even see the light of day ever again. !” Red shouted.

    “Don’t even think about it,” the female replied stepping towards him “Besides why would you think I was going to hurt you?”

    The female clearly resembled a human female with long black hair, she wore a black eye patch on her left eye. Her clothing was a white robe with violet seams and a long purple wrap that kept the robe in place.

    “Wait a minute that was you running?” Red asked.

    “Yes, I was actually out here to find anyone stranded and bring them to safety,” The female said calmly. “It’s very dangerous to be out here, this is when the Scorthicol comes out to feed.”

    Both had stopped talking to hear a large noise, the noise in fact sounded like a faint monstrous cry.

    “So what did you have in mind?” Red asked.

    “I have a camp set not to far from here.” The female replied in fearsome tone.

    So both had ran of while they had the chance. They came across a tunnel door and went in. The female was telling the truth that this is where her camp was.

    “This is the safest place to be when that awful creature comes out.” She explained, “Its vision is based movement.”

    “You did not tell me that this place was filthy.” Red said.

    “I know and I apologize for that,” the female replied. “By the way I am Zelda, the ruler of Planet Survora and you are?”

    “Almighty Tallest Red from Planet Irk,” he replied mocking her accent “ I’ve heard about that planet, your people are advance in medical technology and you look like humans.”

    “Those Humans, well most of them are arrogant and some are even unintelligent.” Said Zelda sadly. “I know I went to Earth as exploration trip.”

    “How long have you been here?” Red suddenly asked.

    Zelda quickly replied “For a week now and I don’t remember how I ended up here come to think of it.”

    “I’ve been out here for three days.” Red said.

    It had hit Zelda for a moment, she had remembered something.

    “I saw another that kinda looked like you,” Zelda pointed out. “ Except he was wearing a different colored robe. I tried to offer him help and he ran off on me like if I was a threat.”

    “ Do you know where he ran?” Red asked.

    “He ran north, he mention his name was Purple and he was trying to find a way out this forest.” Zelda said. “ Just a few days ago I saw a Vortian out here, he too was trying to leave. So he stayed here for a couple of days and left earlier today.

    “What is the Scorthicol?” Red asked, changing the subject.

    “He is a creature that is taller than the both of us with his vision based on movement and is deaf,” Zelda explained and she continued. “ Its claws are deadly, if you are scratched by it then you will turn to stone and he will consume you from the inside. I hope the two that are still out there are okay”

    They continued their conversation until the morning and set off north to save the other two whom had ran.
