CHAPTER SEVEN

Anthriel

The very next morning I began to fit the pieces of the puzzle together.

I told her that I would keep watch that night and with good reason. I had to go over the details of our current predicament, I felt like I was on the edge of realizing something that would be the key to free us from this rocky prison. I glanced my hands over and looked out amongst the rocks that continued to shimmer their shade of orange. I stole the occasional glance at her, when I did my heart fluttered and I felt weak at the knees. I wanted to tell her about this burgeoning fire that was brimming inside of me, to tell her that I wanted to mate with her here and now like I had done in that hallucination.

But in order to do that we needed to get the hell out of here.

I will uncover the clues, the fact that the tree was man made, the fact that the organisms were mutating without any input from the environment, the changing compounds, the strange symbols on the wall.....there was someone down here and the likely hypothesis was that they were causing all of this.

So how should we track them?

"My communicator!" She yelped as I discussed this with her, I blinked for a moment and made a puzzled expression.

"What about it?" I asked.

"I can run a scan using it. The code shouldn't be that hard. If there really is someone then I should be able to detect their electronics and find them. That's it!" she said and grabbed her communicator, dragging it out and placing it on the rock in front of us.

Various lines of code flicker over the screen, much more than I could ever read in fact. I glance at it before a set of coordinates pops up and she types something else into the communicator. A light on the screen flashes again and suddenly....I see it.

"It's a map." I gasped.

"Yes and there's our man." she stated, pointing at a flashing light that was quite far from us, we were in the center of the screen and the reading was in the upper right corner of the screen.

"So we need to go there?" I asked her.

"Most likely yes. Whoever is there might be able to help us. The things that they left here must have been clues." she states and I nod, gripping my axe and hoisting it behind my back.

I stand at attention and she packs up the rest of the gear, following me closely. I could see it in her eyes that she was relieved and so was I. Finally we had a sense of direction after wandering down here for about a week. We had a sense of where we are and a goal. The only reason that I had been keeping sane was because of her and now because of our discovery she was a great deal happier. I felt so good for her, anticipating our next move with great eagerness as I clutched the axe.
