"Eternity" -Open-

[Cody Travers]

Beautiful blossom trees.

Fallen leaves in the distance amongst the ground..

The ground paved with dirt as leaves disguised the real path in the winding forest that seemed to be named; "Eternity". The red oaks and birches lining the grassparts as if this path was chosen for anyone who walked it.

A peaceful setting..

Scenery as no wildlife approached a lone soul walking through the breeze as the wind blew in his face. The shirt and jeans flapping in the breeze. It was somewhat cold. Too cold to wear torn jeans like his. Too cold to wear a shirt like his.

He wore it anyway..

Indeed it had been an "eternity" since Cody had left civilization to once agian enjoy the normal scenery of a blissful environment. No more cars, no more lights. No more screams and shouts from random muggings. Or gunshots within his neighborhood over the occasional drug.

He sat against a tree and pulled out his notebook..writing his own little journal..It was very sacred to him because it was the only thing that knew him. Who he was..What he'd done..

He took out his pen and scribbled..

It was just him..

And the earth.

...Or so he thought...

From the top of a tree, one could view the whole scenery of the surrounding land, as the view stretched out miles and miles into the horizon. Hopping off the tree limb he was on, Zanathos shot out his arm, and grabbed a tree limb. Hanging there for a moment, Zan let a cool breeze blow on his back as he swayed for a moment. Then he let go and dropped onto the grass below, where he managed to execute a roll just before the trauma from falling too far got to his legs. Standing up, he looked behind him as he brushed off the remnants of grass and dirt from his black T-shirt, and saw a young man sitting, and writing.

Cautiously, Zan approached the writer and said ,"Hey."

He took a moment to glance at the man's attire before he took a glance at his own clothing. Both of them were clad in inappropriate clothing, especially for this time of the year.

"Hey- Its getting pretty cold. You should get some thicker clothing. Well,...I shouldnt be saying anything- since i'm dressed inappropriately as well," Zan said as he gestured towards himself.

The breeze..

The breeze hit him like a stone clod rock as someone else approached in the distance. The footsteps echoing as he scribbled in his notebook..His treasured notebook. He punched the tree behind him in disgust as he ripped out a page and threw it.

Cody looked up at the newcomer as the wind blew through his bleached blonde hair.

"Hmph...Indeed.."

He agreed. Selflessly.

He continued to write as the leaves fell upon his notebook. And even then the furious writer continued.

"Excuse me.."

He piped up completely out of nowhere.

"Who are you?"

"Where are you from?"

"Why are you here?"

"And most importantly..HOW did you get here..?"

[Zana]

Brushing a hand through his hair as the young writer threw away a perfectly good piece of paper from his notebook. Eyeing the sheet of paper, Zan knelt down and grabbed the sheet as he opened it up. Looking up he said to the man

"My names Zanathos. I'm a student at Public High School 259, and i'm from an area in the vicinity of the school. I'm here because I spotted a nice looking tree, the one you just attacked, and I thought that it might provide me a good view of the area. I got lost."

"And who might you be? It seems like I have disrupted your writing time...or can it be you just got writer's block?"

A ominous wind blew once more through the forest, shaking the trees as the frigid air reached the two figures near the tree. Gritting his teeth within his mouth, Zan stared at the writer, as he waited for an answer.

OoC: My apoligies for the sluggishness..I just had to get myself into the mood...Here goes..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*SNAP*

6 pieces of the pencil lay in his fingers. A once very timid writer now had his space violated.

"You...Put...That...Paper...Down..NOW!!" He growled between his teeth. Cody was never like this..NEVER unless provoked heavily..Something just..

*SNAPPED*

Cody removed his hand from the tree behind him. There..Were the 6 pieces of the pencil! Cody got up placing his notebook down.

"You're in my sanctuary, young one..You have also violated my person property by picking up that paper.."

He stood between the two trees on the road. The ones that seemed to be only any escape.

"Alright Zanathos..I'll give you a chance..To redeem yourself for your..foolish actions.."

Cody was very furious now. He wanted no one to know about his past. Yet it seemed that he was waiting for this moment..

He cracked his knuckled violently and for some reason took a pair of handcuffs from his back pocket and...slipped them on?!

What was this?!

What kind of crazy fighting was this man thinking?!

Nonetheless..With a menecing smile he waved the boy closer..

"Come.."

[Zana]

((OOC: In my opinion, I find Cody's reaction very funny.))

Zanathos glanced down at the crumpled piece of paper in his hand. Too bad the writer had crumpled it into a ball. Fortunately, Zanathos wasnt the curious type, so he merely tossed the paper towards the "furious" guy with the handcuffs on his hand.

"I honestly dont care what type of history you got. And furthermore, technically you have no right to be furious at me, due to the fact that YOU threw the paper away, and I merely picked it up because that is littering."

Zanathos was grinning. This guy wanted to fight. With handcuffs!!! Stretching his arms and legs for a moment he looked up to the guy and said

"Toss me a pair of handcuffs will you? If you want to fight so bad....," he said as he trailed off.

"...then we'll make this a very even fight. But make sure you know what your doing...last time I fought- it wasnt very pleasant end for me, plus I threw your little sheet of paper back at you."

He stood up and tensed slightly, he felt the andrenaline start to pump.It was an awesome feeling.
