Reaching Out

A boy left all alone in the world after being abandoned by his mother in a poor clan that treated him harshly because he started showing signs of being different from other kids and the people around him. With him being ostracized more and more he became less and less of the cheerful young kid he use to be until eventually turning discreet and mute around others in hopes that they would stop being scared of him. Though that plan never worked out for him and, in the end he was left to strive on his own as best as he could in the environment he was left in. He explored the towns library and any books he could find in his Clan even if they were useless. Years on years of doing such things eventually led him into stumbling across a book that would help push him towards the thing he wanted the most. "The Basic Guide To The Astral Path" This book may not of been special to anyone in the long run but, it was to him because, it was his new beginning. With this new path available to him would he be able to push through all the obstacles and hardships waiting for him or in the end will he stumble and fall? Or will people be there to catch him if he does once again?

A Good Time

"You need to be more careful, you still haven't fully recovered yet you fool."

Slightly grabbing him she forced him to stay still so he wouldn't move around so much anymore and repeat such a mistake again. At any rate it wasn't like he was hurt badly himself even after that he still needed to be careful until time passed more and more. In fact when he finally woke up his body was noticeably healing faster then when he was unconscious and with the way his wounds were now he'd probably only need a couple more days of healing before he could comfortably start moving around. well he may of suffered a lot of injuries the most serious of them all was probably his blood loss. So when he healed that part he'd be mostly okay again. Nevertheless it was still something he didn't want to experience again if at all possible. In any event that was for the future regardless.

"Yea, I was just a little fidgety that's all and it got the better of me."

"Fidgety?"

"Hehe haaa..nothing. So now that you've agreed to come with me, I was wondering if maybe you could stop calling me boy? I mean I may not have anything else to be called but it seems a little..improper?"

Quickly trying to push past his mistake he tried to bring up a topic that would change the conversation but at the same time was important to him and for their relationship from now on. While he didn't have a name himself and neither did she it seemed wrong to him to just call each other boy or women, so with that it mind he wanted to try and change such a thing to have a way of calling each other hopefully. She stared at him funny for a couple of seconds until she heard the second part of his sentence which seemingly brought her attention away from his screw up hopefully. But when she heard his question she was at a loss to do.

Regardless she still understood his point herself. Now that she had heard what she wanted to hear the most and with their relationship in the future, it didn't seem right to continue such a thing. Though a part of her herself also wanted to be called something other than women and now that she could talk to him as well and speak to him on equal terms she really wanted to do the same for him. But she didn't really know where to begin exactly.

"Hmm..I think you're right, it doesn't seem right either but in turn what should we do. I've never had a name in my life so far and neither have you, at least not that I remember in any of the stories that you've told me when I was a lizard you didn't say anything about a name for yourself."

"You're right..."

After that an awkward silence passed between them. He was still in her arms laying down against her plump chest as she breathed down on his hair and back. But he didn't even have time to enjoy any of those sensations at the moment because he didn't exactly know what to do. In that time he was thinking, neither of them said a word and just breathed quietly in the afternoon daylight of the Myriad Locked Forest. Time continued to tick on as it felt like hours had passed in seconds as he kept trying to think of what to do until an idea finally hit him.

"Well...maybe since we both don't have names we could give each other pseudo names to use for each other since where going to be going on a journey together it would be suitable in that case and we could use them for when talking to others if that's...ok with you that is."

"Pseudo names?"

"huh? you don't know that word?"

"I don't know anything beyond what I knew when I was born or what I learned from other humans that I've observed sorry."

"Oh."

Hearing that didn't surprise him to much but it still made him a little sad to have such a fact confirmed but there was nothing he could really do about that kind of situation. It wasn't like he could turn back time and fix it and even if he could, he wasn't even born for a big part of her life at that point. So besides mulling over that he decided to reply the only way he could think of.

"Well don't worry too much about that, in the future and even today or tomorrow we can learn together from now on, can't we?"

Hearing that brought a slight smile to her otherwise thawing face that he hadn't seen before on her but he hoped it wouldn't be the last he got out of her.

"I'd like that, now what do you mean by pseudo names. I assume it has something to do with what to call each other."

"Yes you're right, Pseudo is essentially just something that isn't true or made up. Well people normally get their names in this world from their parents we can just give each other names to use hence pseudo."

"I see...give each other names. Hmmm, I like the sound of that actually, but what will we call each other?"

"Well I haven't quite thought of it that far ahead but it's a start at least. We can think about it together now that we have an idea though as well."

"Sounds ok to me then."

With that they sunk back into the silence of the solitary forest. until they both realized something. Thinking of names to give to each and would use for a big period of their life potentially wasn't an easy task in the slightest and was in fact way harder than they ever could have thought. Especially considering that they surprisingly both wanted to have something to call each that had effort put into it and wasn't just some normal barely thought of name and in the end spent hours on end going back and forth talking with each other trying to decide what their names would be for each other and while others might of looked at this as something silly and pointless the two of them were thoroughly enjoying the time they spent together while trying to figure it out and the calmness of the time passing by Before they eventually found something that they liked for each other.

"Haha are you ready boy."

"I am, what about you?"

"Yep, How about on the count of three?."

"Sounds good to me I guess Ha. Ready?"

"One."

"two."

"Three!"

The Ending is a little evil don't you agree. Mwahahaha
