Devil's Triangle

The Spar

Apolline opened her eyes slowly, sleep still evident in her eyes as she slowly shifted around. It was then she noticed she was placed in a bed of sorts, her face clearly showed her surprise. Seke must of placed her there? Why was he taking care of her? Perhaps, he didn't see her as a threat? Apolline looked around and noticed that she was alone in the cabin, yet there was light due to the flame inside of what looked like a fireplace. The soft crackle coming from the flames some what soothed her before she slowly stood up. From what she recalled was that she was looking out the window thinking about where her parents were. She must of dozed off near the window, and Seke must of placed her then into the bed.

Seke looked down right intimidating but he was rather kind. Never judge a book by its cover was what the saying goes. Apolline looked around curiously before looking at the door, she had to get her things. She slowly stepped outside, the air was still warm and muggy. The smells of the nearby swamp entered her nostrils. Apolline slowly looked up and took in the view of the sun peeking out from the distant horizon. The trees looked so different in comparison to the trees she was use too. She wondered how different this place was compared to her home. It was overwhelming to think that she was in a entirely different place. Apolline blinked when she heard something and she looked to the side to see a familiar face. Hurit was that her name? She smiled softly to Hurit who then smiled back rather brightly. Apolline's expression soon became shocked when Hurit took her hand suddenly and begun leading her somewhere.

As the sun rose a little higher, it gave the land a rather soft glow of faint red. Apolline was confused, though her confusion would not last when she heard a sound. Hurit smiled big to her as she pointed ahead, this got Apolline's attention as she looked.

Everyone who lived in the village were gathered around watching something, she then saw another familiar face. Seke was from what she could gather was the center of the attention along with another individual who she knew didn't like her. Veles that name would slowly stick with her.

Both individuals had weapons, and they looked serious to cause harm to each other. Apolline couldn't help but feel like it was her fault as she looked at Seke. The only one who showed kindness to her here, she was thankful to him and yet she felt like it was her fault. Veles swung at Seke with a violent looking axe made of stone. The blade upon the axe was almost serrated, the handle some what longer than her. Apolline couldn't help but become worried, yet her eyes went wide. Seke quickly rolled out of the way, stabbing the bottom of his spear to the ground. It was then that he used the spear to balance himself in order to deliver a hard kick to the brutes face. The impact made Apolline shudder with her eyes closed.

Veles hit the ground hard, the axe clattered on the ground near him. The brute of course got up and snarled loudly in pure rage, blood some what leaked out of his nose. Apolline looked at Seke and noticed he was lightly roughed up as well. How long had they been fighting?  Hurit watched the two and she looked at Apolline in curiosity. Veles got up and before he could grab his axe did a loud snap appear. Apolline blinked and looked to where the noise came from, she had a shocked face when she saw what appeared to be the chief.

His body was littered with scars from past battles, his appearance looked down right menacing. Not only that but he wore armor out of bones. Hurit slowly turned around and looked at Apolline with worried eyes. She didn't need to ask anything for she slowly moved away from the scene. Apolline knew full well that she didn't want to be seen by the chief. If he did spot her then there was a guarantee that she could be killed. Hurit obviously gave hint to that the moment her eyes looked at Apolline's.

Apolline looked at the direction of when Seke and her first came to the village. She really wanted to go back to the crashed plane and get a few things. Her bag would no doubt help her in the long run. She also wanted to get her phone, though she doubted there would be a signal.
