Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Journey to the capital
As we took flight across the lands Boromir was almost as fast as lightning itself with him flapping his enormous wings and sending us miles ahead of from before.
"Why are we going so fast are we in a rush to be at the place people can help me!"
I could barely hear myself think over all the wind rushing past my ears but the girl heard me and she pointed west. I looked confused as to why she didn't give me an answer and what I saw was an opening in the forest and two mountains rising far above the clouds where there.
"What's so important about them mountains."
"It's not the mountains that's the problem, that used to be a single mountain but the king of these lands slit it in a confrontation with someone or something, we don't know what but when we investigated no bodies where found in the area. So whatever was fighting him is still out there, he also doesn't like outsiders very much."
I looked Stunned as to how a man out in this wasteland could split a mountain that large, even if he was attacking something he was fighting if it is a possibility that it survived I don't ever want to meet it. After not to long of flying with nothing eventful happening the girl turned to me and pointed at a nearby town.
"That town is the border town steadfast after we are done at the capital I can take you back that's probably were you were stolen from."
I thought to myself it could be but deep down I knew I wouldn't find anything of hope in that rundown place but I also hoped that i had a family there that would recognize me because my memory no matter how hard i try just wont comeback. Seeing a sour mood on my face the girl placed her hand on my head and gave a warm smile her cherry lips and rosy cheeks giving of a vibrant hue compared to her golden hair and armour.
"How long till the capital"
"It shouldn't be to far but we are going to need to rest for the night, I also want to confirm some things, so we will camp out tonight somewhere."
I sighed hoping that this journey would be over. Not to long later the girl had a c amp set up with Boromir gone off to hunt some food or possibly rest I haven't seen him for hours so who knows. The girl waved me over and signalled to sit on a log that was around the fire, giving me a piece of meat that she had grilling on the fire.
"So can I ask what your name is, mine Annalise, encase you were wondering."
"My name?"
I squinted trying to remember but nothing not even a slight memory was coming to mind.
"I don't remember."
"Hmm that won't do"
She looked at me up and down as if studying me, to be honest it felt embarrassing I don't know why but I had a sense of shame building up in me. To have such a beautiful woman staring so intensely at me.
"I think I'll call you Silver, because you have silver hair, and its what's most notable."
I go to touch my hair with my Right arm but I got no sensation of feeling I looked and sighed forgetting that I no longer have an arm seeing the visible sadness on my face Annalise chuckled.
"Ha Ha Ha, Sorry I couldn't find your arm when I found you if I did I would have been able to heal it back on. but don't worry we can get you a mechanical one at the capital if your lucky it might even come with magic."
Just thinking about it all my sadness went away even though I missed my arm I could end up with a magical one, I look over and Annalise was smiling at me as if she saw a puppy get a treat.
"You should get some rest I'm planning on leaving early in the morning to get to the capital."
I walked over to my hammock that Annalise had set up for me she even placed a stump down so I could get into it and almost instantly I fell asleep as if the fatigue of the past was falling onto my body. I awoke to the wind in my ears scared of what was happening I grabbed the closest thing which happened to be one of Boromir's barbs on his back. He let out a small rumble.
"Don't be like that Boromir, he got startled"
As if letting out a sigh of defeat the dragon puffed out a cloud of smoke and Annalise the golden girl was not so golden now.
"Sorry if I upset Boromir"
"Don't worry about it, despite his size he probably isn't to much older than you I would say about twelve or so."
Looking down the scales on Boromir where like little stones while sitting on them that's what they felt like at least. But to think that something this large could be about the same age as me I would hate to get on his bad side when he is older. Sitting for awhile longer eventually we started to slow down think9ing there was trouble i got close to Annalise but she pulled me to the side.
"That over there is the capital."
I had a look around her and in the distance with buildings taller than the outer walls was a large city in an open field. Clasped in white it looked as if a cloud had descended on the earth with a mighty spire in the middle looking as if to drag the city back up.
"What's the spire in the middle?"
"That is the church and that's where we can get help. Conveniently its also where I live." with that we descended on the outskirts and walked towards the gate.
