《Equilibrium》4.) First Impressions
Advertisement
It is a warm night and Mia and I am able to sleep very well. What a pity that Mia changed herself back to that umbrella form. Her reasoning for that action was that it´ll be more space-saving, so that I am able to use the full tent for me. How ever I could not peek anyway, I am just too tired. '
We both slept till the late morning and I were to wake up at first.
I quietly leave the tent and am astonished from the morning view of that fir forest which surround us.
All around me are thick firs with morning dew on them and the morning sun is shining gradually through the boughs creating a peaceful shimmering light-braid on the ground which is fusing with the fog, that floats through the forest.
“This feels really soothingly. It makes me a bit melancholy, but it also reassure me.
Reminds me of my old existence as human, but well I am glad that I got a chance to get out of that awful life.”-me
I look around and want to find something like a pond or a river to get myself washed and maybe something to drink.
While I look around, not walking far from the tent, I hear some horses galloping not too far from our position. And I could also hear some voices, it sounds like normal english, but I could not understand what they were saying.
“weren´t we teleported to another world? How could they possibly speak english here?
Ah, well maybe there aren´t any big difference´s between the worlds. I better get back to Mia, before I start talking to anyone here. I also must learn more about my new me and how to use my powers. Would be bad if something happens to me now and I cant use any of my ability´s.”me while carefully walking back to the tent
“Ahh, there you are!
I´ve been looking for you all over the place, but you weren´t there!” Mia, back in her girl form, suddenly yelled at me from the behind so I got scared as hell and turned around in an instant
“Don´t run wild without even telling me! I am you guardian, what´ll be if something was to happen to you while I am not with you?! It would´ve been a disgrace for me and my ability´s as spirit guardian.” Mia
“Ähh... yeah sorry for that...”me slowly recovering from that shock
“But isn´t it her job just to protect me, so shouldn´t she be well aware of my position by herself ?
Nah, what ever I better don´t start a discussion over that with her.”-me
“Oki, I´ll let you off the hook this once hehe, but never do that again.
Talk about, what were you so afraid of? You literally blew away half the forest to your right, as I talked to you.” Mia asked me with an impressed voice

“You just scared me as hell, because I heard people with horses nearby and don’t wanted them to meet with us for now... wait a sec what did you just say?? what forest?” me a bit confused
As I turned to my right I see what she meant. The fir, now right in front of me, was missing a good part of its upper limb and it looks like it got shattered by something really powerful. And so continually the firs behind that one, also were shattered it looks like something exploded with its power directed to the highest degree. Nearly a hundred meter the firs were wrecked with the shape of a triangle.
“Woooooooow... what the... I don’t even find any words to describe what I see right in front of me.
Was that really me? I didn´t even recognized that. How the hell did I do that.” Me likewise impressed and astonished
“Maybe you activated one of you powers by instinct. But how ever you´ll see it, it definitely caused a stir. Look over there” Mia pointed behind me and I hear people riding here and screaming
“Hurry!, We must kill that thing before it reaches the village” Unknown rider 1
“Yes lets hurry, you heard him.” Unknown rider 2
“We can´t afford to let it get near the village!” Unknown rider 3
“Damn they are near, we cant hide nor escape for now. That´s bad. Don’t know what to do if they meet with us, plus when they find out that I demolished the forest.”-me a bit unsure what to do now
“Mia lets make a run for it, for now!” I said a bit nervous
But too late, while Mia and I start to run we hear one of the rider screaming at us.
“You there with that young lady, stop right there!” Unknown rider 1
“Ah damn, now its over. What shall I do now?”-me
We both stop immediately and turn towards the riders.
They look like normal people, clothed in green and brown cloaks, maybe from a medieval time period. They are armored with bows and swords and altogether there are 5 of them. Now all surrounding us with their horses and their bows at the ready.
“How cruel of them, don´t they know that I am not ready to clash with problems, others than my own body and powers, at the moment? Shit this really is a bad situation. What should I tell them now.”-me
“Who are you and why are you walking across this forest? Don t you know that it is really dangerous out here?” Unknown rider 2
“Ähh... soo ähh the thing is … we” me while trying to explain in some weird way what we were doing here, but then be to interrupted by one of the other guys

“Tell us later about your background. More importantly have you seen where this monster was heading??” Unknown rider 1
“Monster?... I dind´t see any monster here.” Mia said very bluntly
“You must have seen it young lady. Look around you, there are traces of its destruction everywhere.” the unknown rider 3 points at the field of destruction I caused with my panicking
“Ahh damn and all that because I don’t know how to control my powers. But well better they accusing a monster than me. If Mia would read the mood, we might get out of this without looking too suspicious.”-me
“I haven´t seen a monster too, but I heard something very loud so we came here in order to check it out and than we found this chaos.” me trying to pull Mia in my train of thought
“Ahhh... Yes we wanted to check what happened here.” Mia corrects herself
“Alright Mia caught up on my thought, very nice Mia. Think she really will be a perfect spirit guardian for me “-me
“Well that is not good, that means the monster may be farther away by now than we thought.
Peter we have two horses free right now, right? Bring those two here to the village and don’t forget to ask about their background.” unknown rider 1
“Yes sir Schneider! You hear him you two I´ll escort you to the village for now.” Peter
With this the other four horsemen give spores and were riding after the path of destruction.
“Ok, guess we don´t have a choice for now. We´ll come with you sir” I said a bit playful
“I think its not too bad at least I can gather information now and learn about this worlds concept and rulers. Maybe I can discover why the One and real God has sent me here, must had have a reason.
“That’s right you don´t have any choice, haha.
So you two can call me Peter. I am the equerry of sir Schneider. And you two are ?” peter asks us while sounding friendly
“A pleasure to meet you Peter, I am Van Hohenheim and this is my cute attendant Mia Tora-za.
We are traveler and got lost in this forest.” Me
“Hoh, traveler you say? You must´ve come from far away, I never have heard of a place where people wear those clothes you do.”Peter
“Yes we come from another country far away from here, hehe” Mia says with a smirk in a sarcastic tone, as she is enjoying to tease my nerves
“So from where are you from than?” peter
“We are from ähh Jo...” me with a not finished sentence
“Jo?” Peter interrupts me
“Jobcenter, yes we are from jobcenter” Me
“Ahh what the fuck am I saying?? I just thought about something back in my old life and jobcenters came to my mind? Great this is really suspicious... wonderful job me.”-me
“Mhh I never heard of a country called Jobcenter must be very far away than. Is it on the Baharl continent?”Peter asks without any hunch
“Nope even further behind that.” Mia answered while clearly suppressing a laughter
“Wow that’s far away, so you come from near the demon lands? I heard that the war there just came to an end, must´ve been a bother to escape from the fights. Did you lose any comrades?” Peter asks seemingly worried
“No, thanks to our luck we were saved from the most trouble. We could evade most of the fights and than our journey has lead us here.” I answered
“That’s good for you. Seems like we´ll arrive at the village soon, you can tell me and the others your story later by a good meal and some sake, hahaha” Peter says while he points straight ahead
Right before us a big Tower, like one of an old medieval church, raises, its shapes shimmering through the boughs and the nearer we come a big protection wall is to see.
Peter leads our way with his horse on a now neat looking street and before us we can see the whole extent of what the riders called a village. In the middle of the fir forest, now right in front of us, there is a big Town and when I would compare its size to one of our modern towns on earth, I must say this so called “village” is as big as one of our big city´s like new york.
Now not only one tower is to see no its a 7 big tower spiers were to locate there. It looks like an old medieval town with very good defenses. If you were to be me, you would definitely also assume that this must be a central village with the residence of a king.
We now are heading right on to a big gate of stone and wood with two big stone pillars at each side which carry some statues. Those statues look like some good equipped warriors. One with a spear, one with a giant hammer, one with an inflamed sword and one with a rod. Maybe they represent some deity’s or holy warriors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So hope you enjoyed so far. I will from now on upload every Sunday or Monday a new chapter.
Just repeating: the action will raise from now on and the MC will become a bad ass, maybe I´ll use a time skip after a few chaps to when the MC is able to control at least to of his powers?
Good idea/Bad Idea? You can decide just comment me your opinion.

Wisdom And Wolf
When I was twenty one I bought my first motorcycle. My only motorcycle. A Harley Davidson XLX, Sportster. Her name is Rohdindae, it comes from the Silmarillion and loosely translates to Horse of the Silent Shadows.

Interesting word humanity, it means all off human kind in one definition, generosity and compassion in another. How often these two definitions are at bitter odds with the other, is something to be seen. These words are a mash up. Tales of the road. The people I met, stories I listened to, and the loves I saw grow, all find themselves here, mixed within these pages. From Maine to Mobile and all the places in between, where people still, somehow, cling on to the good fight. The only fight worth fighting.
