chapter twelve

Amidst the woods two figures could be seen proceeding further deep into the woods

the place there were going kept on getting more and more green like they were walking back into the past during the era before civilisation

Aya was curious but still decided to keep her mouth shut to see exactly where there were going and what this woman was planning for they did not have anything on them whether food or water she was back to reality when April said

let's rest here for now

And she looked around there is no place to rest

April dipped her hand into her pocket and brought out a ball she pressed a button on it then throw which then made a hissing sound followed by a thick fog smoke eruption

after all this was cleared a comfy tent came into the view

well what do you know like mom like daughter always prepared

let's rest here for the night

they set the campfire and all other necessities

and at this time the little boy with them would not stop crying no matter what they did it was like hell he was fed patted lulled but nothing seems to be working

Aya you are experienced woth this what is going on

there is nothing we can do it's normal a new born always yearns for its mother's warmth which he lacks right now

mother's warmth looking at the child in her arms her expression turned grave

you are supposed to be with your mother but she is not here

she stood up and walked towards the edge of the camp where the moon show brightest that night there was a full moon and the stars are like little diamonds twinkling

the boy in her arms as if he senses something he started to quiet down

and the woman arm did not stopped to pat him gently

I know it's not time to believe in myths or fairytale but if you understand I want you to know wherever we are being watched we will no longer be pawns to thw hands of fate nor the creatures that resides under the sky we shall pave a path and always know that you have a sister who will always care for you I will be like a mother and sister though perfection is uncertain I will try my best

After saying her part she closed her eyes holding the child in her arms she sang a lullaby

at which the baby started to feel drowsy and fell asleep in her arms though it was asleep she never stopped and continue to sing with her eyes closed

A moment later she stopped but still refused to close her eyes like she was sealing up the emotions try to come out

you can let it all out don't hold it in

Aya have already made a promise in this life I will never cry cause I don't need it nor is it a solution I won't regret because the past is what is gone

it's late let's go to sleep we need to take off early

but at least can you tell me our destination

that is still what am unsure of

then where are we going to exactly

we are following the wind

good night

what is the meaning of this traveling without a specific destination

the next morning the sun rose as usual shining brightly as the earth awake with light the whole woods was alive as the birds chirps in their melodious Voices the whole forest was alive as all the animals were awoken started to come to live a figure was crawling out of her tent as she stood up and stretched her limbs

she started to walk forward and found Se sticks at which she sharpens their edges

she was busy with this when Aya also can out of the tent

Awake

good morning

what are you doing with those?

fishing

don't we have some stored foods

those will come in handy later we need to be wise with resources will be back just take care of my brother

okay

And she left she kept moving forward
