The Heart of the Forest - Sperrit and Aiman's Journey

Sperrit walks up next to Aiman.
"I'm not exactly surprised you don't remember how you died. Death is a traumatic experience, something that the mind shies away from even thinking about for most of it's existence. Trying to remember your own death would be on par with trying to remember being beaten as a child... your mind tries to protect you from it by "forgetting" it. However... the longer you exist in this form the more that's going to come back to you. Eidon gave you a body so that you could figure all this out, and maybe through all of this we'll both understand something...."
Sperrit picked out a trail through a feild of tall grass.
"We're getting closer. I can feel it."

"Closer, eh ?! Where exactly are we going again ? Anyhows, I keep having this flashbacks of a creature in black and another in white. Then of course, the beautiful girl... I feel like I owe her something, like an undo favor, ya know... Plus eyes of a girl in black, with tears running down her cheeks. I wonder what went wrong... I still cant make any faces though..." Aiman sighs. "Do you remember anything at all ? Maybe you can help me..."

Sperrit opens his mouth. Images flood his mind. The trials... the demon... the dragon... blood... everyone lying around him....
Sperrit closes his mouth.
"I'm sorry... you'll have to find out on your own... its what Eidon would want."

Aiman keeps walking besides Sperrit while thinking about what happened. "I think I will never find out bro, I cant remember a thing and my head is starting to hurt." He says while scratching his head. Aiman starts to feel strange inside. More flashbacks come into his head. This time a creature with 2 wings, one angle wing and one devil wing, the girl in white cries and some group of people come running from a distance.

The flashback ends and Aiman finds himself standing in the middle of nowhere and Sperrit is looking back at him from a distance.

"Sperrit !! Wait..." Aiman says. He runs to Sperrit's location and says, "Im sorry... Ugh... These flashbacks are getting stranger everytime, and Im not getting anywhere. I feel like Im going in circles." Aiman sighs and walks some more. "Can we stop for a second ? I need to freshen up, this flashbacks are giving me a headache. Is there a lake or pond near here ?"

Sperrit reaches out with his senses. After a while he feels a consistent line of smooth, water worn rock and nods to the North-East.
"There's a stream. Its not too far."
The two of them walk to the stream and Sperrit bends down to take a sip of the clear water. He frowns as he straitens up and goes to check his pack.
"It'd probably be a good idea to get some food, too."
Sperrit tosses Aiman some berries and jerky. He takes some for himself and sits down next to him.
"I'm not sure what to say, my friend. I don't know why Eidon brought you back to this world, or why you have to be with me for this."
Sperrit smiles at Aiman.
"But, I'm glad you are."

Aiman looked at Sperrit's smile. A lot of things ran through his head... He thought to himself, "Can I trust him ? That smile... Is he planning something ? Is he hiding something from me ?

Aiman snapped and jumped on Sperrit, pinned his arm against Sperrit's neck and said, "You... You are just but a hypocrite !!! You smile and say you are glad that Im here, but what are you really up to, what is your real plan ? Something not good I am sure !! How can I trust you, or trust this Eidon !!! And what the hell is happening here !!! Where am I and why am I here !!! If I was dead, why was I brought to life ?! So you can kill me ?! NO !!! I wont allow that. You might have earth's power at your disposal and I might have nothing but my fist, but Im sure I wont go down without a fight !!! You can be sure of that !!!!"

Aiman got angry and started emanating dark energy from his body.

"What is happening to me ?!?!" Aiman yelled. He stood up from the ground still holding Sperrit by his neck and threw him with all his might against a tree. Aiman kneeled and covered his face with his hands and said, ""What is wrong with me !!!!"

Sperrit stared into Aiman's eyes. The tree had, very nicely, cushioned his blow, but that didn't mean that Aiman wasn't serious. Sperrit saw the Darkness falling from him. He looked farther into Aiman's eyes.
"Concentrate, Aiman. You'll never get anywhere if you just let it all fall off you like that. Elemental Energy needs focus and guidance. The Clan of Dark always prided themselves on peace of mind and ability, their powers need the same quality to control it. And for goodness sake, put me down already. If I had wanted to kill you I would have done it any number of times already that you've been overcome with the past memories. Just relax.... This is all part of the Journey."
