Day One: Early Morning

[Android-18]

The sun was not yet above its nest, the horizon was alight with the very faintest of rays, but angry clouds threatened to blot out its heavenly existence. The girl stared out around her, and she took in the world as if it were her own. The sky opened above her with its many stars, whilst the moon fled the scene in much haste. This Island was beautiful, and full of much life. She had climbed the slope of this hill in hopes of seeing anything, or anyone. Although darkness lapped up the island into its grasp, she did see small movements. However, who they were, or what they were, was beyond her. She turned around and took in the sight of a small farm far from her position. She could not quite see the end of the island, but could swear that the wind carried the smell of the water. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.

A small sound took life behind her, but it was very much far away. It was faint, but it was unnatural. Was the fighting already starting? She frowned, but knew that it was likely so.
Eighteen shrugged her pack off momentarily and reached in before producing her weapon. She felt that she was lucky in receiving this item; it would do well if she were attacked. She fitted it on, and then flexed her hand appropriately into a fist and then outward again. She would fight tooth and nail, face to face, and hopefully it will aid in her mission upon this strange land.

Another noise was heard, and a few birds took flight from their rest within the trees to the north. She took it upon herself to fit the scouter onto her face, hers was useless. She tapped upon the button, and soon saw various powers. Locations were not provided, and neither were names. However, she could see that her opposition was not easily matched. Even then she knew power was not everything, she could be outsmarted by someone half as strong as she. She turned off the device and sat down on the grassy knoll. Well, it was more of a peak than anything. She took her canteen out and took a few cautious sips, she was not sure if she would find more water to sustain her.

“Well, what should I do?” she asked no one in particular. She leaned back on the palms of her hands and watched the night fade ever so slowly. This was peace, but for how long? She knew she was a target, not personal, but a target nonetheless. Yet it was hard to get up and move, to strategize, and make an effort. She was content in enjoying this land, and the world above her. The sky was a pretty thing, not many people enjoyed its splendor.

To be honest, the android kind of liked being lost in her mind. There was no memory of her failures and her regrets. A part of her was afraid to remember. What if she just stayed forgetful? She felt that in a way this was being reborn, and she could become someone better and wonderful. What if she was a horrible person? She did not want to be someone full of pain, or emotions that were dark. She was happy, and content.

The girl sighed, she was here and she could not go back. She got to her feet and looked about herself again. She had to move, it was not safe to remain in one place for too long. She strapped on her pack once more and adjusted it comfortably before trekking down the opposite way she had come. This was going to be a long day, she surmised.
