2 Chapter 2, Toxicity of a City

After the survivors met Ecnad'etint'rof, the misadventures now began in a flat field of tall grass divided in half by a large river.

"Ecnad'etint'rof, Are you sure this is the right direction?" said Ret'awelin, one of the surving members. Ecnad'etint'rof replied "Y-yeah, I come here all the time and I'm pretty sure this is the right way to your destination."

"But the map says to the east we go. We're heading to the we-" "Sometimes, when life gave you an obstacle, just jump over it" Ecnad'etint'rof gave an advice while cutting off what Ret'awelin about to say. "Not very useful to our current situation but thanks anyways" said N'achsar't one of the members.

So the men followed the misdirections of Ecnad'etint'rof with or without their consent. Ret'awelin became fustrated to Ecnad'etint'rof's horrible sense of direction, but she has no other choice but to follow them by joining the bandwagon.

As they about to pass the dividing river, they were accompanied by a suspicious looking guy with an oversized trenchcoat. "Hey... kids..." menacingly whispered by the suspicious looking guy. "Want some... Magical powders that could... let you see extraordinary nonsense?" As the stranger opened his giant trenchcoat, it appears that he really has a dozen of magical powders that could let you see extraordinary nonsense. The group began to gossip about the strange behavior of the stranger. They decided to refuse the offer, but a representative is needed. After all they're an organization anyways. Ecnad'etint'rof refused since he's not a member, N'achsar't and others also refused. Ret'awelin was chosen, since she's the last one to refused. "I-it's not fair, wh-why me?" said Ret'awelin. "Just do it Ret'awelin, we don't want to waste our time for his odd deals." said one of the members. "But I refu... FINE! Besides I'm always the one who get to be chosen to do something like this." said Ret'awelin before releasing a hard sigh filled with angered. She then proceeds to the stranger to say the decision of the group. "We would like to. unfortunately we have places to visit and we're running out of time. So please maybe next time we'll gladly accept your offe-" Before she could finish the sentence, the stranger smacked her chest then proceeds to throw some dusts at her and ran away as fast as he could. "God *cough* what a fucking *cough* asshole." "Great Job Ret'awelin, you drived him away from us." Congratulated by Ecnad'etint'rof. "Now since he's gone for now, we're going to the east." "Why? I thought we're heading to the west?" Ret'awelin asked with confusion. "The map says so. So we're now heading to the east." "B-but I was the one who pointed out that we sh-" before she could finish, again, Ecnad'etint'rof said "Sometimes when something looks useless, better keep it. You'll never know when it will be useful to other situations." Ret'awelin shouted "God damn it!" with a squeaky tone at the end.

Then the group began to take a hundred steps to the east. [TO BE CONTINUED]
