Day One: Evening

[Android-18]

She could see down for miles, and it was exhilarating. She imagined what it would be like to free fall down the ravine, falling with the wind driving her hair upward and ruffling her clothing. The fall would result in a sickening crunch and splatter on the rocky floor, however, she wasn’t intending on jumping anytime soon. She simply took in the view with wide eyes and little ’ohh’s’ and ’ahh’s’. She kicked a small rock into the depths to see it drop without obstruction. It was definitely a long drop.

“Night is fast approaching, we should keep going for a bit and then find somewhere to rest again. Hopefully we can catch a bit of sleep.” The long haired fighter spoke, and his voice gave a slight echo. The android giggled and nodded, it was definitely a good idea. Her feet were aching and she was growing thirsty.

Small wilting shrubs spotted the chasm and the girl plucked at the ones she passed. A cool wind drifted upwards from the scar in the ground, and it sent chills down her spine. “Good thing we refilled out water at that stream a while back there, I don’t think we’ll find any water here.” She commented, making conversation. How good the water from the river was, she was unsure, but it was better than nothing.

A hilly ledge began to rise up beside them as they traversed the rocky terrain. It formed a sort of mountain, although a rather small one. As they continued along the wall it stopped as a hole was gouged into its surface. An overhanging ledge hung overlapping like an overbite, and the ‘cave’ bubbled inward like a little cubby. The rock showed eroded marks from the wind, and the floor was as smooth as marble. “It’s cold, but it’ll do.” Raditzu said and flung his pack to the ground. “I’m beat, I don’t think I’ve been this tired in a while.” He slumped to the ground and leaned on the rocky wall. It was cold, but refreshingly so.

“Well, you rest, I’m gonna look around and keep watch. We’ll take turns.” She started to leave, and before leaving his view she looked back at him. He looked as if he was already fast asleep, she couldn’t help but find him rather cute like that. She smiled and continued outward into the lowering sun. The night would be upon them, and their second day on Dante’s Abyss would begin.
