This story is constantly in progress. More will come when chapters are finished.
Chapter 1: YOU IDIOT!
"You better stop running!" the guard shouted at the fleeing pair. "If you stop, the sentence will be lighter than if you keep running!"
"What did you do?" Quora shouted at the other figure at they fled from the pursuing guards.
"I don't know!" Voltaic shouted back, the words almost lost in the wind. "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" she shouted back, "Im pinning this all on you!"
"What should we do?" Voltaic asked as he turned his head to see the chasing guards, as a spear came flying past his face. There was then a moment of brief silence (other than the shouting guards) as Quora thought. Then, suddenly, she pounced on a tree, and scrambled up it.
"Climb this tree!" She shouted as Voltaic arrived at the trunk.
"I can't climb!" he shouted, scrambling on the bark. The guard were getting nearer, ready to pounce. It was then when Voltaic remembered something. He then whistled, as the guards still came ever-so neared. Then, a loud 'fwomping' could be heard. Out of the sky dived a large, golden bird, that landed in front of Voltaic. He petted the bird, before jumping on and flying up. "This is my pet thunderbird, Zrilk!" he shouted as more spears came flying up towards him, barely missing the huge wings of the thunderbird.
"Really?" Quora asked with a stern, sarcastic face. She made he jump from the tree to Zrilk, nearly getting hit on the way over. She then nailed the landing, and Zrilk flew higher up, and away. "Well, we escaped them from now" Quora said after, looking down at the guards.
"Well, they will be after us." Voltaic replied, looking down as well. "What did I do? I don't think I killed anyone…" He said, with a slightly derpy face. "Did I?"
"You don't THINK?" Quora shouted at his reply, somewhat enraged. If Voltaic killed someone…
"Oh I remember, well, slightly." Voltaic said, sitting up with sudden realisation. "I may or may not have killed the king…" He suddenly put on a very worried face, as Quora stared at him in silence.
Until, "You did WHAT?" Quora shouted, but kept her cool, trying not to tip over the Thunderbird. Her face was twisted up in rage.
"Uhh, I think I got a bit pissed off, and… called down a lightning strike." Voltaic tried to explain to Quora. "Well, more like a storm." It was somewhat inevitable that the king was dead, due to the shock of being hit by lightning. There was a long silence… Then BANG! A flying fist came from Quora, nearly knocking the man off the bird. "OUCH" Voltaic shouted, trying to stabilise himself and Zrilk. "I'm sor-"
"YOU IDIOT" Quora shouts, cutting Voltaic off. Then, another punch, knocking the man off the bird, with Zrilk flying downwards to catch him, almost throwing Quora off also. His cheek became a dark purple due to the force of the punch. "WHY DID YOU KILL THE KING? AND WHY AM I INVOLVED?"
"YOU CAN'T REMEMBER?" Voltaic shouted back, scared that the water nymph would throw another punch. "Because I can't either…" He said, suddenly going blank.
"Mother f-" Quora almost swore. She didn't particularly like swearing, but it was close. "You were the one who killed the king. Surely you remember something. Why was I involved? Why were you in the palace in the first place?"
"WE were going to ask for something from the king, but I think he disagreed." Voltaic replied again, still weary of Quora.
"Well, this is hopeless. All we know is that you killed the king, and that the guards are chasing us."
"Yeah. So, we should go back to apologise."
"Hell new, I ain't going back there. They might try kill us anyway!"
"Good point. Well, what should we do?"
Quora sighs, clueless. "Well, I have no idea. Maybe we should camp out in Old Jackson Forest for a while until everything dies down."
Voltaic giggles a bit, "Hehe, dies." It was very immature, but he still found it funny. "But yeah, we should do that."
Zrilk, after a few hours, flies down next a large cliff, at a small paddock. The pair jump off, and look around. "Looks like a nice place, but we need a fire. Lets go grab some firewood." Quora agreed, and sprinted off for some dead wood. Voltaic cooed his thunderbird, congratulating him for holding two people for a very long flight. He sends Zrilk off to get itself some food, and Voltaic runs off as well to grab some kindle for the wood Quora would bring back.
Ten minutes later, the pair came back, with their wood. Quora placed a few logs in the middle of the clearing, while discarding multiple to the side. Voltaic placed a pile of kindle on top, and circled the wood in small stones.
"Right, now to light it." Quora said, slightly questionable to Voltaic's plans.
Voltaic grinned broadly, with something in mind. "Don't worry, I got this." He pointed at the clouds, and shouted random gibberish. Then, suddenly, a bolt of lightning blasted down from the clouds and hit the pile setting it on fire. "WOAH!" Frightened by the fire, Quora jumped back.
"Tada! Fire! Now I guess we wait. See if this all blows over." Voltaic said, bored. Zrilk arrived back, with a slightly bloody beak, after feeding. "Well, we should sleep. Its late…"
"Sure. We'll suss out Arok tomorrow." Quora took her bag off her back, and grabbed out a couple of sleeping bags. She tossed one to Voltaic, and unrolled her own. They lay down next-to the fire, (Not next to each other, no way.) and went to sleep, Zrilk covering Voltaic as an extra blanket.
