I realized my stupidity about five hours after I started walking in the mountains. It was getting dark and I had walked into the wilderness of an unknown world without any of the necessities. No food, not a clue about any of the freaky animals and fruits in this forest, and no map. I might be pretty close to death if I weren't able to make my own water and warmth.575Please respect copyright.PENANAixqG49v8hL

I decided to take it out on a poor tree nearby. I punched and kicked it continually. I think I heard something in the distance but I didn't really care. That is, until my new punching bag became another persons face. Some idiot jumped in the way of the poor tree and took the hit for it.575Please respect copyright.PENANAtPp6LS0Zp0
575Please respect copyright.PENANASvcmmZIDAU
Unfortunately this someone was really weak and passed out at the first hit. I dragged the person around with me, on my back until I found a cave. I made a fire in my hand and made it float towards the roof of the cave to give me more light.575Please respect copyright.PENANAZiaXoerlzx
575Please respect copyright.PENANAsMuIsrwM1V
I examined the persons face. He had light brown, short hair. He was wearing just a plain shirt and jeans. He had a backpack strapped to his back and I decided to take a look inside to see if I could find some food or something. I didn't.575Please respect copyright.PENANA0CrggK5puR

"I guess I should make sure he's alright," I told myself. I looked at his face and saw that he had a bloody nose. Since it was mostly my fault, I decided to help him out. I made a small ball of water in my hand and pulled it into a line shape. I swirled the water below his nose and to where it had dripped below his mouth. I wish I could freeze it. That would make a good ice pack.575Please respect copyright.PENANAB5CbroGBLq
575Please respect copyright.PENANAmM8uEpj5bU
"Maybe I can," I said to myself. Okay. I'm starting to creep myself out with all this talking to myself.575Please respect copyright.PENANAo8u9qgztZO
575Please respect copyright.PENANAedOzf32Mbf
I concentrated on the small orb of water and realized it was full of blood. I quickly dissolved the water into the air and watched the blood fall to the ground. I created a new one and started to focus on that one. I concentrated on it. I then imagined the small orb freezing in my mind. I got close but only managed to make the water colder.575Please respect copyright.PENANA9CyQGihSQb
575Please respect copyright.PENANAchnJWyv2Zc
The light in the room started to get weaker and weaker. I looked up and realized that the fire had shrunk to about the size of a quarter because I wasn't focusing on it anymore. I diminished the light and went outside to see if I could find any sticks or twigs to hold onto the fire for me.575Please respect copyright.PENANAutfFysY1s1
575Please respect copyright.PENANALU3sI6TWIk
I found a good pile of them and brought them back to the cave. I made a small pile and kindled another fire. This time I set it down on the small pile. The sticks started to burn.575Please respect copyright.PENANAhdLLGedtgF
575Please respect copyright.PENANA8nTjdmzpsX
"I wonder if my fire can burn people?" I asked myself. Again? Talking to myself? Creepy. Back to my question. It probably could because it was fire. I decided to test my theory.575Please respect copyright.PENANAUSfeE8M59m
575Please respect copyright.PENANAuv0Vpbx6M1
I lit a small fire on the tip of my finger. I slowly moved it to the boy's wrist. When I got close, I stopped to see if he noticed any heat. When he didn't move, I pressed the small fire to his wrist.575Please respect copyright.PENANALPtvF2IMcq
575Please respect copyright.PENANA242HTqX2Tu
"Ahhhhhhh!" He yelled now completely awake. He looked over at me and then down at his wrist. He yelled again, this time grabbing my wrist and pushing me away. "Are you insane!? What are you doing!?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAjaNXl15P4G
575Please respect copyright.PENANAHvK4vb49Hf
"Testing to see if you got burned," I said.575Please respect copyright.PENANAFC5tlOB3NC
575Please respect copyright.PENANAlbt7bNPZ6u
"Why!?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAQmijYJqEcW
575Please respect copyright.PENANAGF67viXwfe
"...just curious."575Please respect copyright.PENANAT0GbrCH7WR
575Please respect copyright.PENANA7kCSWHLZvw
He gave me a look like I was a complete idiot and I was rather offended. He looked to his right and noticed the small fire. His confused expression suddenly turned to one of fear.575Please respect copyright.PENANAupWzU7TLzf
575Please respect copyright.PENANAu2bgAsueu9
"Stop it!" He yelled launching himself on the fire. "Don't burn the sticks!" He landed on the fire with a thud and started to yell tears coming to his eyes.575Please respect copyright.PENANA1ovzWl8qna
575Please respect copyright.PENANAAlQgZD66hc
"What are you doing!?" I yelled putting my hands on his ankles to drag him off the fire.575Please respect copyright.PENANAtFvjPLwbBx
575Please respect copyright.PENANAbpvBrG1tUf
The yelling stopped but the crying didn't.575Please respect copyright.PENANA7VpJxoI4p4
575Please respect copyright.PENANAr6B4U29IeD
"What happened?" He asked.575Please respect copyright.PENANAdGAWU94ld0
575Please respect copyright.PENANAZzSF28Rmst
Maybe the fire didn't burn people, but only when I was touching him. I took my hands off his ankles and the yelling started again. I quickly put my hands back on his ankle and he stopped again. I pulled him away from it making sure not to let go.575Please respect copyright.PENANAWGTDNEpuak
575Please respect copyright.PENANAx2o0HOsrfU
"Put the fire out!" He yelled struggling against my grip. This guy was really weak I was holding onto his ankle with one hand and he couldn't manage to break free. Pathetic.575Please respect copyright.PENANANFCrfV7NPw
575Please respect copyright.PENANADNr60Dr3AW
"Why?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAKTIr08TmyW
575Please respect copyright.PENANAparfdBZroZ
"Because you're hurting the sticks!?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAdrU7TBfcpD
575Please respect copyright.PENANAN175IAg5Kt
"I'm hurting... the sticks?" Great. This guy wasn't only weak, he was also insane.575Please respect copyright.PENANAXtyQTKGVis
575Please respect copyright.PENANAqEeXGLVNuf
"Yes! Now please put it out!" He begged. He looked back at me with those puppy dog eyes that you can only get from puppies and cute kids.575Please respect copyright.PENANAqZmEJJW4kF
575Please respect copyright.PENANAcyWEMuwBdY
I couldn't resist. I put the fire out and was rewarded with a pat on the head. Who does this guy think he is?575Please respect copyright.PENANAZbVNHnUPPB
575Please respect copyright.PENANAPCcHTMfeeG
I looked down at his chest and noticed a huge burn. I noticed that my hand was still on his ankle and let go. Tears immediately came back into his eyes and he started to cling to me. This guy was like a little kid! He buried his head on my shoulder. I could tell that the pain immediately went away but he didn't want to let go. Probably because he didn't want to feel the pain again.575Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8LfvCONUs
575Please respect copyright.PENANAlP9I37698C
I thought of the best way to help heal a burn. Aloe Vera would probably help but who knew if I would hind that on this huge planet. I kept thinking.575Please respect copyright.PENANAuQPlvOmmkb
575Please respect copyright.PENANAOVferoqMjA
"Water!" I exclaimed making the boy jump. "Water will help the burn."575Please respect copyright.PENANALJCYVdiLrR
575Please respect copyright.PENANA6NgoqKg8Ek
"Okay," he said, "but where are you going to find water on this huge mountain?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAUHizlAodSX
575Please respect copyright.PENANA2Cgt5k1TkV
"Just watch." I detached him from me and his eyes filled with tears again. He clung to me...again. I tried to detach him again this time making sure to keep one hand on his shoulder. I made a small ball of water in my other hand.575Please respect copyright.PENANAuBohO3CzqQ
575Please respect copyright.PENANAkspW3k7d6X
I looked back at the boy and he was giving me one of those looks you get from little kids like you're the most amazing person ever. The look you get when you do something sorta cool in front of a little kid that they can t do. But his look was even more admiring than that. I didn't know what to do so I just decided to get to it.575Please respect copyright.PENANA9EvTJ61vIB
575Please respect copyright.PENANAV2TWdrBBOn
"Can you take off your shirt?" I asked. He snapped out of his daze and suddenly became really shy.575Please respect copyright.PENANAK34gYvYdsQ
575Please respect copyright.PENANA5yB9wSwQco
"But if you take off my shirt then you'll see..." I didn't know what to make of this guy.575Please respect copyright.PENANAZyOqbS5BFj
575Please respect copyright.PENANADzl5ICTc5t
"Take it off before I burn it off!"575Please respect copyright.PENANAULE0Fiw0iF
575Please respect copyright.PENANAMWCLoOzIxf
He jumped and decided it was best not to disobey me. He pulled his shirt off making sure not to let go of my wrist. I noticed that his chest was covered in scars. I would probably have to get use to that in this world. Lots of people would probably have scars here if this planet if this planet was built off fear. But then there were people like Obi who's power had nothing to do with being injured.575Please respect copyright.PENANAU1nJbiqq6S
575Please respect copyright.PENANA5E1Evnp3kC
"Um..?" The boy said looking at me with a rosy shade of red set on his face.575Please respect copyright.PENANAGXFb24kvtX
575Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5PWNO83U8
"Right," I said. I started swirling the water over the burn. It would normally hurt but I guess it didn't because my hand was still on his shoulder. I started to squint. It was really hard to see in the dark.575Please respect copyright.PENANADHLCZitfiW
575Please respect copyright.PENANABjCVrNC6VK
"You can let go," he said, "I mean...if it makes easier." I let go and I could tell that he felt pain but refused to show it. He bit his lip and tried to put his "brave face" on. I couldn't help but laugh.575Please respect copyright.PENANArGXLOGxkf7
575Please respect copyright.PENANA2MY3SUX7Fb
I made a small ball of fire with my other hand and made sure to try to focus on both.575Please respect copyright.PENANAXGtA2B2y6j
575Please respect copyright.PENANAObDm0N8axe
"My names James," he said out of nowhere.575Please respect copyright.PENANAgFG6v8WQSk
575Please respect copyright.PENANAr7xOfKzV2l
"I'm Ai. It's nice to meet you."575Please respect copyright.PENANA0b7XtXhp9P
575Please respect copyright.PENANATrklXkeOCG
"Um..."575Please respect copyright.PENANAwocx67rx4I
575Please respect copyright.PENANAG5cnAHV5JO
He obviously wanted to say something but something was holding him back.575Please respect copyright.PENANAi3U7ql1DKW
575Please respect copyright.PENANALSIt1SOFPg
"Since you showed me your powers, I'd feel bad if I didn't at least tell you what mine is. I can control plants and stuff."575Please respect copyright.PENANAr7A3ilyIQA
575Please respect copyright.PENANA4MRPIQLJHe
"Hey James? Can I ask you a question?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAZLRlNQNIT4
575Please respect copyright.PENANAsIXIb1jnVE
"Sure. What is it?" He seemed eager to answer any questions that I was going to ask.575Please respect copyright.PENANAjzoNIfvT42
575Please respect copyright.PENANA3kX0zDYO6h
"What are you trying to do in this world? What's your goal?" I don't know why, but I was curious. I figured that if his goal was good enough, I might be able to help him with it.575Please respect copyright.PENANAh16BDsCXk6
575Please respect copyright.PENANAuJwFOl3nJM
"My goal? To form a strong party and be the strongest in the whole world!" He seemed rather confident. But I have to admit, that wasn't the answer that I was expecting from someone like him.575Please respect copyright.PENANAMdppCq1il3
575Please respect copyright.PENANAXR9ylXFL5D
I remember what Fie had told me about parties. Apparently they were a group of people who came together to form one strong team to accomplish a common goal or to just stay together and work together as a group of friends.575Please respect copyright.PENANAwV7WKHL9sW
575Please respect copyright.PENANAHI0Dq7Veej
"Okay!" I said. "Then I'm going to join you!"575Please respect copyright.PENANAfz4tbvqx6w
575Please respect copyright.PENANAR3sMHablHO
"Wait! What!?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAvnY9uwNVG7
575Please respect copyright.PENANAhvjEAsQwCc
"Yep! Since I have nothing better to do and nowhere to go, I'm going to join your party! Okay?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAcJXouwhjnB
575Please respect copyright.PENANAoU4VT16uuK
"S...sure. I guess I could use someone as strong as you. Welcome to the party!" He seemed to be getting happier and happier the more he thought of the advantages of me joining. "You're the first member of the party. And since we don't have a leader yet, I want you to be the leader."575Please respect copyright.PENANAogaIf1HJ2X
575Please respect copyright.PENANAmG3qDVu0jm
"Wait. Why me?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAhf49d5SyHd
575Please respect copyright.PENANABiVb8BC5Kn
"Because I'm weak and bad at leading and really talking to people. And you're a good leader and trustworthy and someone people will feel more comfortable talking to you and I wanna be on a strong team and with me as leader we'll be weak and..."575Please respect copyright.PENANA6wbG3ALRVr
575Please respect copyright.PENANAT3K3tQpc0J
"Okay, okay. I get it. I'm in charge." As bad as I felt taking the position of leader from him, he made a good point about him probably being a bad choice as leader. But I felt so bad.575Please respect copyright.PENANA3KK56SAmbn
575Please respect copyright.PENANAJcD6QqUbzr
"So what should our party be called?" He asked.575Please respect copyright.PENANAGp3d2kDWBu
575Please respect copyright.PENANAcdPOEJUrc1
"I don't know, I guess we'll figure it out along the way. K?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAlqe0pPMBUG
575Please respect copyright.PENANAZdxOzOZnC1
"Okay!"575Please respect copyright.PENANAUAF7gMuWNE
