Three Warriors

Galinn, Kallisto and Alexios reappeared in the woods. They stood there mesmerized just as the Alp had by the colors, sounds, and the air around them. It had been so long since they have felt the cool air.

“I’m not going back. I promise my brothers... I will not leave again. Even if it means to die here." Kallisto whispered to himself. Breathing in the cool air with his eyes closed Kallisto slowly shook his head at the thought of the forbidden world.

“I’ve forgotten how beautiful it was.” Galinn turned in a circle trying to take everything in surrounding him.

“There has to be a way to get out of serving the Queen, we must find a way.” Alexios said while raising his fist he shook it in the air as he pulled his lips back in anger. He was determined to find a way out from under the Queen. “Even if it means to give up my immortality and die also, so be it.”

Kallisto looked down at the three futuristic rifles. Bending down, he picked up the rifles. Handing Galinn and Alexios each one. The rifles had leather shoulder straps, they each pulled their arms through, swinging them on their shoulder.

“She only sent one weapon each.” Shaking his head Galinn couldn’t believe it, she had the power to send a whole army, they got a fancy gun.

Sniffing the air, Kallisto faintly smelled the rancid smell of the Alp, The warriors lived with them long enough that they can detect the faintest Alp smell. “We need to head north, the sent is going north for right now.

The three walked, taking their time looking at the fauna, insects and the sky. Remembering their past and their family that they left behind.

"I still can't figure out why she wants the heart instead of the Alp itself." Galinn questioned to the others.

"Im not sure, maybe it's to make sure we return?". Alexios said. Shrugging his shoulders at trying to think of why the heart."

"Shhhh be quiet." Galinn staid with his finger to his mouth. Pointing to a rabbit. He took his rifle and pointed it towards the small animal. Aimed it and shot.

The rabbit blew up, the rifle wasn't a normal one, it's meant to kill Alp's not small animals.

"I guess we will have to trap our food, since these r are too strong for animals." Galinn bent his head back, closed his eyes."Not going to be easy brothers."

Following the sent they picked up another smell, one that they recognize but has been a very long time since the last time they smelled a human.

Kallisto stopped, looked at the other two with his nose in the air. "Do you smell that? Humans....he's heading towards humans."

Picking up their pace they started to run, following the sent. Hoping they are not to late.
