It's about time

Here is the next installment in the series of small updates. If anyone wants the compiled version that flows better just send me an email.

The forest was dark for the sun had yet to rise. Shadowed figures bound through the trees, jumping over fallen trees and dodging low branches; one of these figures was the old man as he ran with the strength of the wind behind him. He passed countless deer and other animals in his sprint to the other side of the forest. His foot caught on an upturned root and he tripped, the wind rushed passed him, another gust would have to be summoned until he could manage it he would look around the area for any plants that could help the village.

Oopsies!

Sorry for not updating in awhile, I will get back on track as soon as I can. Look for something this weekend.

Another little piece

Well, here's another bit of the story. This part was written after I took an Algebra test.

In his dreams he wandered through the maze again looking for a book he had never read, he found none. Saddened he fell asleep in his dreams until he awoke. It was early morning when he opened his eyes; he stood up and threw his book into a pack. He made his way to the edge of the clearing that had been his home for the past five hundred twenty four years knowing that he would probably never return to it. His mind wandered to the wolf that had become his friend, would it be lonely? Would it get enough food? However these were all questions for a later time, for now his only goal was to get the village and be around people once again, for the first time in a long time.

And another!

So I do like this story so I'm going to continue it for awhile. I'd say expect an update every other day but lets say every three days and call it good when it is every other day.

The old man stood up and went to his fire pit, his meat had been a little burned but it was still edible. He sat down and began to eat; the wolf emerged from the forest and emitted a soft growl. The man looked over at it and beckoned it to come to the fire. This happened whenever he brought back meat; the wolf and he had become friends, sometimes even keeping each other company for hours. Today he was not up to company so he threw the wolf a large piece of meat and shooed it back into the woods.
He sat by the fire eating his meal and his mind wandered. It had been nice to see her again even if she was bothersome occasionally; He wished she would stop trying to get him to go to the village she was helping construct. He finished eating and returned to his book; He would read for a few more hours then go to sleep. In the morning he would plan a trip to the village.

Here's another one

Out of the woods walked an old woman carrying a spear. She spotted the old man sitting near the tree reading his book and sat down next to him and waited. After half an hour the old man noticed her and looked at her “How are you today?” he asked.

“Good”, she responded, “and you?”

He replied, “I think I found something new”.

The old woman stood up and walked to the lake shore “I see another village is gone, was that storm last night your doing?”

“Yes”, he replied, “I did it, I like peace and quiet while I study and they made an awful noise.”
The old woman walked back over to the forest edge “I’m going to go back to the old city and help those that have settled there, you should visit them sometime; I think you would find one of them interesting.” He responded “Possibly, when I have found what I’m looking for, or when I get bored of books.”

As the old woman walked away she said “You get bored of books? That couldn’t happen in a thousand years… sadly... that day should be coming very soon.” With that she vanished into the woods.
