Valtor plopped under a tree feeling totally exhausted from walking a long while, he must've been walking for at least two hours now, he placed his 'bag' next to him as he stared at the dark-greyish sky which had begun to rumble
'guess it's about to rain', Valtor began to wonder if the tree that shaded him could provide enough shelter from the incoming downpour
Deciding to move under a larger shade, he got up but soon came to a halt after a few steps as the sun suddenly began to fill the sky with it's light again
Valtor stared confusedly at the sky, wondering what was up with the weather until a flash of lightning suddenly struck with a loud thud, causing him to flinch reflexively, which was followed by thunder and then total brightness
thats weird..very weird, Valtor watched as the lightning seemed to be coming from a single direction,he decided to check it out.
Following the direction of the lightning storm, Valtor began to slow his pace as he heard noises amidst the bushes, he paused a while to figure out what he heard, it sort of sounded like... mumbling..from a human!.., his eyes went wide in suprise on finally
hearing a human voice that wasn't his, quickly, he continued to follow the voice in excitement to meet the owner
Stay back!..a voice spoke just as he was about to take the next step
Valtor slightly paused before satisfying his curiosity by adamantly going through the dense foilage that separated him from the voice, meeting a young girl who seemed slightly frightened. She wore a green dress and had long curly dark hair that matched her dark skin, her arms stretched out in defense,..she was beautiful.., Valtor thought.
I said stay back, she anxiously repeated
It's okay, he spoke up, I'm not here for trouble, I heard you murmuring so I followed your voice, he continued to move closer
Don't!.., she insisted, her arms still stretched out, don't come closer
Okay, he stopped, I'm Valtor, what's your name
she continued to stare at him in silence
she's really anxious, Valtor thought to himself, maybe if i offered her something, she'll know I'm not a problem, he dipped his hand into his 'bag', about to pick out a fruit when a strong wind suddenly began to blow
what the hell!.. he gazed back at the girl whose eyes had now turned grey, a whirlwind spiraled around her.
She's got powers too, he quickly realized
Its okay, he yelled as he held onto a tree to keep himself steady, I just wanted to give you this, he stretched his arm to show her the apple he selected, I have powers too and I know you're confused, so am I, but I'm not here to hurt you, I'm just trying to get out of here
The wind suddenly stopped and the grey in her eyes faded away revealing a chocolate brown colour
Her demeanor softened in curiousity, you have powers too?
Yeah, I can make fire
She stared at him unconvinced,..show me
Valtor began to scratch his head, that's the thing, I can't control it yet, it only works when I'm in danger
the next thing he knew, Valtor was forcefully hit against a tree by a strong wind which the girl controlled by swinging her arms around
what are you doing! Valtor yelled as he tried to lift himself
instead of a reply, she began to break off branches of different sizes with the wind which flew in random directions, a huge branch swung towards Valtor but was immediately burned into ashes on getting close to him as fire began to spread all over him
annoyed by the stinging pain in his back, he began to tackle every other branch coming his way till they all fell to ashes
Not bad, the girl commented as she stood arm folded opposite him, while the winds stopped
Not bad!? Valtor retorted as his fire dispersed, you tried to kill me..
..and your eyes, she cut in, they changed from blue to yellowish
I have blue eyes? Valtor immediately switched up, I didn't even remember.. ,while your eyes turned greyish
A brief silence followed as she seemed equally surprised..
bringing back the subject, Valtor spoke up., you know, you could've killed me
But I didn't
only because I defended myself, he retorted
Good for you, she cocked an eyebrow..
plus how was I supposed to tell if you were lying about your powers or not, you're the one who said they activate on danger
Valtor sighed.. Fine, I guess I brought that upon myself. Soo.. your powers,..what are they exactly?
Weather control, she shrugged, you know make it windy, sunny, draw lightning and stuff like that
when did you realize you could do this?
A couple of days ago,.. a good distance remained between them as they spoke.
Closing up the distance, Valtor continued, I never got your name or should I call you weather girl
She frowned, stop coming closer. Just because you have powers like me doesn't mean I trust you
trust issues.. Valtor thought to himself as he stopped in his tracks, pocketing his hands, alright then, I guess I'll just talk from here
Orea, she replied.. that's my name.., I think
Valtor caught her uncertainty,..you've forgotten stuff too haven't you
Yeah, she placed some hair behind her ear.. though not everything, there are some things I can remember, like how I got here
really? Valtor was elated
How?
