2 Plan

"Guys maybe we're dead and it's the Garden of Eden"

At these words Baram and Shindo bow their heads without saying a word for a few moments. "Let's move," Baram said as he lifted his head and looked at Shun and Shindo, "We're not going to find out anything by staying there, let's pick a random direction and walk, we may come across a road or other people."

Shindo also raised his head and smiled at Baram's suggestion, "You're right, besides every direction is surrounded by trees we can't get around the forest" he stood and stared straight ahead with a sly gaze that could give chills to a fridge and added "Anyway it's not a few wild animals that will scare me"

Shun and Baram, who strangely doesn't doubt Shindo's courage, have already started to leave, not paying attention to the last one looking in the opposite direction. "So are you coming !!?" Shun yells as he brings his hand closer to his mouth in Shindo's direction. Hearing Shun's scream, Shindo turns around "bastards" he stammered with an exploding vein visible on his forehead.

It has been 2 hours since Shun, Shindo and Baram entered the forest, Baram is walking ahead and looking around him, Shun who walks by hopping and Shindo who has his hands behind his head follow him closely.

- "Even in the afterlife you seem tired of life * laughs *"

- "Nothing says it's the afterlife and I'm not tired, it's hereditary in my family, * tsk * I even piss off explaining it to you when you already know it"

If there was one thing you couldn't miss about Shindo it was his dark circles, no matter what time of day he had dark bags under his eyes, Shun never missed an opportunity to tease him.

"Don't you find that weird? We haven't met any animals since we arrived here" Baram reminded while continuing to look around.

"yes it's weird but it's better like that no? we don't risk being attacked" Shun replied, hopping all over the place.

"* sigh * Not necessarily, if there are no animals there is a reason and this can be anything, a predator that scares them away with fear, a toxic environment or a lack of resources, anyway that's bad news, "Shindo explained, looking even more tired than before.

"oh I see" Shun exclaimed looking at Shindo.

- "I have the impression that the origin of the lack of animals has something to do with us"

- "What makes you think that Shindo?" Baram didn't understand what Shindo was implying.

- "Since we walk in this forest we hear birds but although we have walked for 2 hours their songs do not seem to come closer, it seems that they respect a kind of safety distance between them and us, if this is the case that would explain why we have encountered no animal so far "

- "um ... you're right it's weird, if we assume that we are in another world, maybe our smell, our appearance or our clothes would make them flee, if that is the real reason so we're lucky enough * sigh * "

For Baram the less risk the better, he always chose the safest way to complete a task the success rate didn't matter to him as long as they ran as little danger as possible, so Shindo's explanation greatly relieved him.

Another 2 hours passed as our heroes continued their journey through the forest, hunger and thirst began to be felt.

"Remind who was it that came up with this plan!?" shouted a blond haired figure who could barely walk behind Shindo and Baram.

"What plan ?!" Shindo shouted, "it wasn't just mass suicide ??!".

Baram hearing the other two complaining adjusted his glasses with his index finger, a huge vain had appeared on his forehead.

"Go fuck yours-" Baram did not have time to finish his sentence as a ray of light dazzled his eyes. In the distance in front of them a white light, a light that they have not seen for 4 hours of walking, they had finally passed through the forest. Shun who was almost half dead straightened up, grinned broadly and ran towards the light. Baram and Shindo seeing Shun pass them also started to run, they got closer and closer to the light and the * fshhrch * while pushing the leaves in front of them, a scene as from a medieval movie, a spread of grass, no skyscrapers on the horizon, in front of them a wide path that has formed over time.

* chkkl ... chklk *, while they admired the landscape a noise surprised them, to their left there was a kind of cart pushed by a strange animal, a kind of fusion between a horse and a bull. Although the animal is strange, what caught the attention of Shun, Shindo and Baram the most was the old one with the reins. They finally meet another human, they can't hold back their joy they put a quivering smile on their faces and drops started to accumulate before their eyes.
