Things can only get better?
Sorry about the short post yesterday, but, problems arised and, well, lets just leave iut, sorted now :)

Not much has happened thought unfortunatly, I havn't fone alot to tell you the truth, just been getting along, talked on MSN to a friend from TExas, I have been able to talk about alot with him and he has been able to help me with alot of things and problems that I have.

I hope you are all well, I must get my King Lear assignment complete, so I will talk later, here is my next chapter.

Chapter 10 – The Journey through Death

A cold wind hit him in the face, he could feel the chill upon him, but still, not all around him, as if he was covered, attempting to move found that he was on something warm, and it was moving, like a carpet. Opening his eyes slowly he saw the grey sky above, the snow falling from it gently, been pushed along by the wind, a gale running through the lands, where was he?

Looking down, he saw a white, furry object, lowering his head slightly he recognized it, he was riding on Kiba’s back, he tried to move, but found he was unable to, looking to his back he could see Kiba’s Jacket covering him. Kiba saw he was trying to move, and said to him, as he walked through the snow storm, “Please, do not move, your injuries are healing, and you will fall off if you move too much” he continued to walk forward, Richard looking to him, and letting his arms flop again to his side, to counter his balance and so he would not fall off,

“Thank you, Kiba” he struggles saying this, the wind blowing in his face, “But, I don’t want to be a burden on your back, I will try to walk” he could feel Kiba shake his head in disagreement as he laid there, his legs hanging off the back,

“No, It is ok, I can carry you, it is not a problem” he continued going forward, Richard could not see anything ahead it was like heading towards nothingness, an empty vast space,

“Where are we?” Richard asked, looking over Kiba’s head, between his ears to see the surroundings, bleak, and uninviting,

“We are in the wastelands, this is what most of the world looks like, don’t worry, I know where we are going” he put his head up, and let Richard use it to rest his own, it was warm, he could feel the heat inside Kiba burn bright, it was like the wind didn’t make a difference to him at all. After a few minutes silence, Kiba asked Richard a question, “Why did you take the bullets for me back there, you know you could have been killed” Kiba continued to walk saying this, Richard opened his eyes and thought for a second on this question, after a few seconds thinking, he then said, no hesitation in voice,

“I wanted to try and help, and friends look out for each other, I wanted to save you, I couldn’t let you be killed after putting your life on the line so many times, I had to” Richard smiled, this was the first time he had been honest about himself in a long time, the only time he has ever been able to say he could help a friend like that,

“I thank you, you saved my hide back there, but, be careful in future, we Wolves heal faster than Humans can” he chuckled slightly, “But, thanks” he rested again on Kiba, he felt that he had solidified there friendship, he had been able to show he could help the wolves if he had to, he liked this feeling, it was one he had never felt before, one of warmth, and made him feel he could do anything. A Wolf and a Human, friends, it was a weird thought, but, it was one that made him smile, he had always wanted to have a friend who would listen, be there, and he could be there for them too, perhaps this wolf was that friend, and not just him. Looking around he saw the other wolves walking aside him, and behind he could see Blue right next to him, she was walking forward, glancing him a look, she smiled and continued to walk forward, this was not a time for idle conversation, but he could see how she wanted to speak to him badly, she cared for him deeply, like he cared for her just as deeply.

It was then a stray thought drifted on through his head, ‘Where were they going now?’ so without letting his brain process this, he asked Kiba, resting on his head, “So, Where are we going now anyway?” Kiba was silent for a second, the wind blowing through, creating a chilling howl around them,

“We are going to Jagara’s Keep” Kiba responded, a Stoic tone in voice,

“Why are we going there, if I may ask” he opened his eyes and turned his head, he could see Kiba was thinking about what to say,

“Cheza, remember we told you about her, the Flower Maiden, we are going to rescue her, and achieve paradise” he stropped there. Richard remembered what he had been told about Cheza by him and Blue while he as resting back at the house, a beautiful girl made of Luna Flowers, would lead the Wolves to Paradise, where Wolves would be happy. Another thought entered his head after this, he had been told about Cheza, and who she was, made by the Nobles and made for the only purpose of been used to open paradise for them, but, what was paradise? This was something he knew very little on, so after a short space of silence, he again asked Kiba another question, hoping he would not be annoyed,

“What about Paradise, what is so special about this place, What about it?” he got a quick response off Kiba, he didn’t even have to think about this, it is something he had been talking about since he had started his journey,

“Paradise, it is the place were Wolves came from, we came down to help the humans, some stayed to help them, but the Flower was left, to one day guide us to paradise, guide us back” he paused for a second, “We reign supreme there, it is where we belong, and where all Wolves must seek out, once there, they will be in true happiness” he stopped there, thoughts went through Richard head, he now understood why it as so important, and nodded in agreement, saying back to Kiba,

“I understand, it sounds, wonderful, I want to come with you, to see it, I know I am Human, but maybe” Richard had low feelings, he had given up going back home, but perhaps, this would be a way back, his only way, it was a thought he kept on having, and maybe, it would come true, but he needed to stay with them, but been the major problem with staying was he may be a bother to them, but, he had been told so many times he wasn’t, although in some way he knew he was impeding, he decided that he would stay, for a while anyway, he couldn’t keep getting in there way through.

“Ok then, We will take you with us” Richard could feel Kiba smiling as he carried him, the storm started to subside, and ahead of them, a lone tree stood, Kiba looked to it through the storm, and said, not talking to any in specific, “We will rest here for the night, come on” he began to move towards the tree, the others close behind him.
