5 A Fools Journey part 1 (1/2)

Little soul stretched his body you could hear the crackling of his bones as he rubbed his stiff joints. He did not know how to use this body despite knowing he was a human as well before he became a soul. so he did a few exercise movements to get familiar with his new body. Little soul wanted to adventure out to find humans then remembered just how huge and strange this forest was. Before he was a soul flying above the treetops, creatures ignored his existence fairly sure because they couldn't even see him as a soul. They didn't even retaliate unless he tried to take over their bodies.

”So why was this man out here? What gave him the confidence to come out here alone?”. Little soul checked himself patting down everywhere. His clothes were made of old leather, not the highest quality, either way, it was completely unless now. Burnt and torn apart by that electric wolf, I might as well walk around naked.

little soul found a curved dagger on his thigh it looked fairly decent and used and handle a bit rust but still, this could not have been all that old must have had. A dagger and leather armor would only serve to get this old man killed.

Not finding anything else on this body of his little soul decided to have a look around the area. he soon discovered a backpack in the bushes not far away. He opened the backpack to discover water, food, bandages, Scrolls, a flintlock pistol with bullets, and two bottles with an unknown red and green liquid. Along with a knapsack hanging on the outside.

”Jackpot!” this is exactly what little soul was looking for. He inspected the items starting with the Scrolls he discovered once he unfurled them they were filled with strange writing. He didn't understand a single symbol on the paper. They look so strange an ancient like something you would find in the ruins of an old city. the symbols were obviously handwritten and not by a professional. lines were messy on some parts you could tell how unsteady the person's hand was who wrote this.

But it's still filled you with awe with its intricacy. the weird symbols were written in a circle with squares and triangles all over, Little Soul couldn't make heads or tails what it's all meant. He put down the scrolls and move towards the gun instead. He counted 30 bullets, not a whole lot but it was better than nothing. The bullets also had carvings on them with those same weird symbols he found on the scroll. inspecting the flintlock pistol and found the exact same symbols.

”This is so strange why would he carved these symbols on the gun and bullets and draw them on the Scrolls?”. Knowing he was not going to get any answers sitting there Little Soul continue to inspect things with items. He uncorked the red bottle and smelt it, it smelled sweet but tasted bitter in his mouth. he only drinks a few drops worth but that was enough for him to discover the effects of the potion.

He was amazed by what this potion could do it healed a bit of the damage on his body mostly around his lip. He hurriedly put the cork back on and carefully stored the potion away. He wanted to save it for an emergency.

Seeing what the red potion could do he wanted to see what the green one could do so he uncorked that one too and drunk a few drops worth of the green potion discovering it did nothing. A bit disappointed he put the green potion away just like the red one.

Having a decent enough grasp on the items he had little soul set off on his journey to find more humans.

Little soul walked through the bushes bobbing and weaving through Vines and cobwebs. It was getting dark so the air was Cooling. He could feel the cold breeze on his bones, they slipped through the gaps in his skin he stitched up with his soul threads making him shiver to his core.

People who saw a half-eaten body walking around the middle of the woods at night would be scared of it and run away. But the little soul was more scared of the things in the woods than anything else so looking like this and being what he gave him no confidence to him. He took each step with caution, he knew what was out there creatures so fearsome and strange they make any grown man shriek in fright like a girl.

So with the backpack on his back, he walked as silently as he could not want to draw the attention of anything out there. In the dead of night, he looked up at the stars through the gaps in the trees marveling at the site that always gave him a wondrous feeling each time he looked at it. It's a Sky not his own on a world he knew nothing about. yes, it was scary but when going to someplace unknown when wasn't it. this world filled him with an equal amount of inspiration as much as it terrorized him.
