Jimmy awoke with a start covered in sweat from his nightmare. He quickly got up from his bed of dried leaves and walked over to the nearby stream, he spent the next few moments throwing cold water over his head and onto his face. He caught a reflection of himself in the Stream from the moonlight and saw a haggard man in his Forties, he knew he was younger than that but since he had been involved with the search for the Elven shards he seemed to had aged ten years. Jerking back from his thoughts Jimmy walked back over to his camp site and rekindled the fire and blew it back to life. The flames soon flickered back to life and he was sat warming his hands over the fire.
Jimmys thoughts wandered back to his last exsperiances of helping the Elves, he had gone to the very depths of Hell to recover a Chalice made of pure Ice. And had given it back to the Fire Disciples. He still didnt know if this was the best course of action to take. Probally the minions of the owner of the Ice chalice would be after him.
Jimmy nearly snarled at the thought of the Fire Disciples, arrogant self obbsessed fiends they were. Jimmy hated being bullied into a corner, his only reaction was to be like a Wolf backed into a corner. Viscious and ready to fight his way out. Jimmy thought of the changes that had seemed to occur to him since his Travels into strange and some wonderful lands, his instincts told him that he had to fight his way out of any situation but he tried to fight against it, diplomacy was never his thing, when he was a boy if he was bullied he wouldnt run away and tell his mother, he would stand up for himself and fight back. His step father had beat him from an early age until one day he actually stood up for himself and fought back, he remembered the feeling, it was the best feeling he had ever felt. self satisfying and rewarding. His Step father never beat him again after that day.
Jimmy layed back down on the bed of leaves and settled himself into a comfortable position and slowly closed his eyes trying to find the sanctuary of slumber. Slowly he started to drift off, before he did the thought of the missing shards rentered his mind, were would the next one be found? Then a deep slumber took him away........... |
