The air slapped against his face like a whip, he was deafened by the whistling sound of the air in his ears. He was being shouted at upon his descend. He waved his arms quickly as though he was trying to slow himself down or fly, he fell through the clouds. It was like he was falling forever, cold and scared forever. The ground started to become more visible, more solid. His mouth opened and widened as he began to scream, but his voice was lost to the howl of the wind. The ground drew closer, closer, closer.. he clenched his eyes shut, unable to brace against the pain that would surely come...
..thump. The only thing he felt was cold and soft, and the thump was muffled. He opened his eyes and looked around slowly, seeing nothing but worst and flakes of white. He relaxed and with a shaking hand brushed some hair out of his eyes. "that dream..again.." he whispered as his pale hand quickly touched the cross that was given to him by the man he came to see as his own father. Touching the smooth surface, he is soothed.
He stood up slowly and groaned. "sleep walking again? One of these days I'm going to get myself into a lot of trouble.." he rubs his neck and looks around, trying to estimate where excally he is. He gazes at the sky and mumbles. "four.. in the morning, I'm in the southern part of the woods I think." for unknown reasons Joshua has always being able to tell the time and where he was through the stars, not even he knows how he can.
He's about to turn and walk back to the village like he normally does, when something makes him stop. Tilting his head, he listened and tensing up he waited. For some reason the young man could sense something, something that seemed familiar and yet not. He sighed slowly, and watched the cloud of breath that fluttered out his parted lips. "if I don't check it out, I may regret it in the long run." he mused before walking in the direction that his senses were screaming at him to go to.
It was like he was being pulled, tugged and pulled to the location. He was a moth drawn to a flame. He had no idea how long he'd walked until he finally stopped. He squinted a little, seeing something injured in the distance.. he slowly walked towards it before realising that it was a person, and then he broke into a run. "hey, are you alright?!"
