6 The campsite

Erick and Jack followed Arnald into the forest with only their essential items slowly trudging through the damp muck Arnald turned around looking back at his garden gate thinking about his mum and baby sister's

"Arnald what's wrong son?" Erick asked looking at the gate with Arnald "Missing home already huh? it must be rough leaving your home in search of your missing farther, but you know what Arnald? that make's you strong, stronger than any creature on this world in fact the strongest thing in the entire Galaxy" Erick said trying to cheer up Arnald up who just looked at him and pretended that it didn't effect him at all

"No it's just that the gate is hanging of it's hinge's again" Arnald said shutting Erick down before turning back around and marching forward deeper into the Forest

Erick pulled his bag to the front of his torso to grab his map which would lead the three toward's the first part of their journey where Daddy fogar and Erick use to hang out and sleep on each and every adventure that they would embark on for the first night

"Right Jack, Arnald we're going to the rock's and tree's first, that is where we will camp at tonight" Erick said to the boy's leading the small group forward Arnald looked at the floor and thought for a second

"Mr.Loudy?" Arnald said "Daddy fogar use to take me there when we went camping and he found a short cut through these tree's" Arnald followed up with as he pointed to a specific location on the map close to where they all stood before looking forwards and walking ahead "It's this way!" Arnald announced as he walked the dirt path ahead Erick looked at the map and looked at him in pure amazement but yet quite puzzled as Daddy fogar didn't tell him about this short cut

"Arnald, when did he stumble upon this short cut?" Erick asked Arnald while trying to hide the anger in which he felt

"when he was 19" Arnald responded "I thought that he would've told you, I mean my daddy never hide's anything unless he absolutely has too" He said innocently without questioning why Daddy fogar didn't tell Erick

"anyways Arnald what way do we go?" Erick asked Arnald curiously because he never knew about this short cut

"through these trees here Mr.Loudy" Arnald answered Erick's question as he took a sharp turn and cut through the tree's with the two loudy's behind him

"Dad?" Jack said to Erick "what happened between you and Daddy fogar?" Jack asked Erick in a caring manner

"Nothing for you to worry about son, we just drifted apart over the year's and we eventually stopped exploring together overtime there's nothing else to it, it's just something that happen's, we both had different love's and families that needed our attention" Erick explained to Jack as they trailed behind Arnald who was taking sertain gap's in the tree's that got them to the camping ground before the sun set as it got dangerous in the forest at night Arnald stopped and turned around making sure that the loudy's were still behind him

"hurry up it's over there and we need to take a rest as we've been walking all day so far, it get's dark soon and my Daddy alway's told me that it get's dangerous and cold in the Forest at night!" Arnald shouted making Erick and Jack run to him so they can get to the site before he asked Erick "Have you brought some kindle to keep us warm through the night?"

"Yes Arnald" Erick responded as the trio reached the site it was a wide clear and spaceous clearing in the first quarter of the Forest Erick looked up and noticed that the sun was starting to set he looked at Jack and Arnald and said

"right boy's we need to put up the tent's and then collect the fire wood so we can eat and stay warm through the night" as he laid down his bag before putting up the tent that him and Jack would sleep in Arnald put up his tent and started to collect the wood for the campfire placing each group of firewood in the fire pit in the center of the camp site for Erick to light
