Fate and Fortune

[Daz]

After some miles my feet go back to there usual aching, my legs turn to jelly and my shoulders hang in pain. But I ignore it..
Every step I take, every bit of agony I feel... we feel.. is another cost of what it is to gain your freedom.

Freedom. Where is it? Is it really a place? Or a peice of mind.. whatever it is, this country contains none of it. Do they people here believe in freedom? Or does that word not exist to them.. is it but a legend or a myth.. that somewhere, some place.. people live with a feeling of comfort inside them. Do they know how to love? Truely love.. without freedom how does love exist? Maybe they do have freedom.. in there own form.
Maybe Jack and I are more.. Free than we would of thought.
As I look around at all of the barren land and I start to wonder how close freedom really is to us. Is this walking.. is this jounrney.. whats holding us back from feeling it?
Maybe we should embrace it more.. maybe this venture shouldnt be such a struggle and more of a parade of passion and feeling.. for our cause. For our destination. the Ocean.

After hours of walking night starts to fall. I look up to the stars, and feel at ease more than I did during the day. I don't know what it is, but the night comforts me. The northern star, with it's constant appearance, is somehow familiar. "How far are the stars, you suppose?" I ask Crystal.

[Daz]

"Not far." I smile "If they were too far how would they watch over us?"

[Jacky]

I smirk, "Are they?" I ask.

[Daz]

"I dont know." I shrug "I just guess thats how it works.."

[Jacky]

"I think they're just random, actually." I muse. "Nothing more to it than just.. lights."

[Daz]

"Just lights? Then who do you suppose put them there?"

[Jacky]

"No one. They just happened?" I guess.

[Daz]

I smirk a bit and stop "Lets just.. hang around here a bit.. my legs ache and I dont want to walk." I shrug

[Jacky]

"Alright." I agree. We get off the trail and sit by the side of it. There's not a tree anywhere to find shelter but it feels okay tonight.
