Chapter 2: Woven Fate At Creatures Creek
Silva is a mile away hitting and kicking a rotted tree stump as his first victim with a heated passion in his heart. Oro is letting out a few supportive barks until Silva's opponent eventually falls to its side. A wave of bees emerge from the beaten foe and make their way towards Silva and Oro.
Silva: AGHHHH! Run away Oro, this is bad news bees.
Silva and Oro head for an off beaten path. Luckily for them, the bees prioritized the sweet smelling sap dripping from a nearby oak.
Silva: Musta lost 'em. What a bunch of cowards haha we showed 'em didn't we Oro?
No response.
Silva: Oro! Oro, where did you run off too?
Oro is seen snooping around a bunch of rocks. Silva catches up to his pup.
Silva: There you are, you little rascal. I can't keep my eye on you, can I?
Silva notices some weird rocks. A rabbit can be seen in the distance desperately running from a menacing hawk.
Silva: Well we might as well rest for a bit. We were training real hard.
Silva and Oro sit down on the weird rocks. One of the rocks oddly reacts to Oro's weight and starts to tilt from side to side almost as if to shake Oro off. In a frustrated manner, the rock emerges with Silva and Oro quickly losing their balance. The rock turns out to be an 8 ft grizzly that had just been deprived of its late morning nap. The bear gives Silva and Oro a menacing glare before rushing towards the easy kill first.
Silva panics and rushes towards the bear with a clenched fist representing one hand and the other holding a nearby twig he snatched.
Silva: Oro, run! I will hold him off for us!
Oro lets out a few pathetic barks towards the bear behind his almost as small and fragile shield.
Silva: Stop tryna help. Run buddy I got this.
The bear is now centimeters away from its revenge on these little nuisances. It winds up its attack from its right paw…
Suddenly, that all too familiar long, blue coat appears between the monster and prey. Smoke forms around the figure as his body heats up tremendously. In one fell swoop, he lands an impactful blow that could be heard from a mile away. The man reminded the bear who stands atop the food chain. After being sent flying far from the others, the injured grizzly silently walks away.
The smoke settles and the man identifies himself.
Silva: Uncle Rob! That was sooo awesome!!
Uncle Rob: Not so fast there. Do you have any idea what would have happened had I not stepped in!
Silva: I was just training is all…
Uncle Rob takes off his coat and shirt, revealing the countless amount of scars painted by his many opponents' brushes.
Uncle Rob: Look at all of these reminders of the dangers of this world, Silva. I was the lucky one, Silva. You will not be here to tell the stories of your scars if you fight alone, especially as a 10 year old boy. DO NOT RUN OFF WITHOUT ME AGAIN!
Silva: Sorry Uncle Rob.
Uncle Rob: (sighs) Just make sure you do not do this ever again.
Silva: Okay, I won't.
Uncle Rob: Good, let's head back to the campsite-
A small boy about Silva's age and a toned but older man appear and ask if everyone is okay after hearing such a commotion from afar.
Mysterious Man: Hey if it ain't Baywest!
Uncle Rob: No way! Is that you, Johnny Rocket? How long has it been?
Johnny Rocket: Since your ass fell off the ledge of the Tongue Twister? (hardily laughs) Say, Baywest who's the runt and mutt with ya? Don't tell me you settled down with a nice northern country girl?
Uncle Rob: (slightly serious tone) He's actually my nephew, John. His name is Silva and our dog Oro.
Johnny Rocket: Shit, my bad Rob. We heard some commotion so we figured some folks needed help in these parts.
Uncle Rob: We were just caught up in a skirmish with the wildlife is all. You know how it is.
Johnny Rocket: Indeed I do, Rob, indeed I do.
(awkward silence)
Uncle Rob: Say, you gonna introduce us to your son?
Johnny Rocket: (slightly chuckles) Never lose your humor Baywest. Nah this here is Dante. He's been under my wing for awhile now. We just got done venturing through a good portion of Rattlesnake Canyon.
Uncle Rob: How bout that? Never took you as a teacher Johnny.
Johnny Rocket: Well I gotta find something to keep me busy these days. Man I miss those girls down south.
Dante: Why is that Johnny? Don't you like training up north with me?
Johnny Rocket: I admired 'em cause they didn't ask too many questions my friend. (laughs a bit, Dante slightly frowns).
Uncle Rob: (clears throat) Hey Johnny how long you staying up here for? I was thinking we could collaborate in our teachings.
Johnny Rocket: Not sure yet. Why? What's next in your regiment?
Uncle Rob: Same as always.
Johnny Rocket: Man, why won't you ever loosen up a bit and change scenery Baywest?
Uncle Rob: (assertively) Are you down to train 'em, or not John?
Johnny Rocket: (puts his hand on his chin and lightly ponders) Hmmm. We probably should lay low for a while, Dante, whatdda ya think?
Dante: I could train with him long, (pretentiously) he kinda looks scrawny though.
Silva: (angrily) You wanna see how strong I really am?
Dante: Bring it on pal.
Silva and Dante begin rough housing with each other.
Johnny Rocket: (dismisses the kids' conflict) How you doing on gear Baywest?
Uncle Rob: Not too bad, we got most of the essentials. You?
Johnny Rocket: (sits down and cracks open two beers) We could definitely use some more firewood.
Johnny Rocket hands Uncle Rob the other bottle.
Uncle Rob: Maybe some berries on the side for supper?
Johnny Rocket: That sounds wonderful. Yo Dante. (cranks his tone up a few decibels) Dante!... (with no answer still he precedes to yell) Hey dipshits!
Silva and Dante both halt their foolish fighting and look towards the commanding voice.
Johnny Rocket: (slightly sternly) How bout you two go fetch us some firewood and berries.
Silva and Dante (simultaneously): But-
Johnny Rocket raises his eyebrow and gives an unapproving glare towards them, especially Dante.
Dante: (slightly nervous tone) Yeah of course Johnny, we can do that right away.
Dante pulls Silva by the arm and drags him off while Silva complains.
Silva: Ouch that hurts dude what's your problem.
Dante: (voice fading away) Because when Johnny asks you to do something you just do it.
They walk off into the distance.
Johnny Rocket: (giddy and carefree tone) I have a feeling our little collaboration program will work out just fine eh Baywest? (quickly sips his beer)
Uncle Rob: (chuckles and slowly sips his beer) That it will, Johnny Rocket. That it will.
