~Jungle Storm~ Ranger's Journal

[Flamefire123]

Adish woke to the world with a question in his mind and an answer in his heart. The problem was that the question and answer didn't match up. So Adish had to find an answer for his question and a question for his answer. Adish planed to find both. He was good at speaking up and he loved his journal, which he noted down all his answers and he quickly learned to draw as well, so he could remember what he learned.

Now that would be hard enough, to find his answer and his question but he had other duties. Duties that he took very seriously. Ranger, his brother, was blind and shy. Ranger didn't like to talk but he did to Adish, sometimes in feelings, other times images that were some what warped but mostly in words. Ranger was not mute, he could speak but he spoke only to Adish as Adish was the first person to speak to him. Adish knew he was Sunset to his brother and he didn't mind. He liked that Ranger has his own name for him. It made him feel special.

And he was special acording to Mama Flame. Just as Ranger was special. Mama Flame siad that since Ranger spoke to him it was important that he saw for Ranger. Adish liked doing that. He would ask what Ranger wanted to know. He would see what Ranger wanted to see. Most importantly he would tell Ranger what he wanted to hear. He would make sure that no one forgot that Ranger was there just because he was blind and shy.

"Sunset where are we going?" Ranger asked, walking carefully behind Sunset, his hand on Sunset's shoulder. He knew that Adish was using both hands to carry his journal around. Soemtimes Sunset brought his journal and sometimed Sunset brought Ranger's journal. That was fine. Ranger didn't mind. he couldn't write in his journal anyway.

Mama Flame was studing briale for him and was slowly teaching him but Ranger didn't really care much. He much rather have Sunset read to him. And Sunset was eager to learn. Sunset learned braile with him and that was the only reason he was learning it was because Sunset was. He feel bad if Mama Flame taught something she leanred just for him to just Sunset.

"No where really" Adish said with a shrug, careful to not shrug off Ranger's hand. "I just want to draw the sunset. I brought my crayons with me and I want draw a picture of the sunset in my journal."

"Why do you like the sunet so much?" Ranger grumbled though he was really glad to leave the house. Only Sunset trusted him outside in the forest. Not even Mama Flame liked them to go off. The only reason they were off now was because Sunset said that Enya was with them. Which she wasn't really but she was flying off somewhere and they weren't going far.

"Because there is nothing like it in the world" Adish answered and then broke free the branches just as the sun was beging to set. Ranger fell silent because he knew that Adish wanted silence as he drew what he saw. They stayed there for an hour as Adish drew and then quickly rose to make sure that they got home before dark.

Ranger sighed as they head back. "I wish we could do stuff like this all the time" he mentioned to Sunset. "I'm not weak."

"Mama Flame knows that" Sunset said, standing up for their mother.

"Then why doesn't she treat me that way?" Ranger asked expressed, pouting slightly. He hated to be treated differently. Only Sunset didn't treat him different and that was the main reason he talked to him.

Adish stoped and looked back to Ranger, he triped over a branch and Adish caught him quickly. He helped Ranger stand, seting his hand back on his shoulder, watching his brother carefully.

"Why don't you tell her too?"

This here is Adish. This is Ranger's journal but I will be writting what ever is here for Ranger so this will be written from his point of veiw. I thought I should write this down just in case.

I never done this before. Tried to write in my journal. Sunset is the reason that I'm doing this at all. He bugs me into doing it. He likes doing stuff like that I geuss. Well as long as he likes it I don't mind. It's something to do after all.

We spent a lot of today cleaning after yesterday. Mama Flame gave me careful tasks. She says that I have to help around the house no matter what I can and can't do. I kind of liked it though, that I'm not treated like some sort of cripple. Sunset had to help me with a lot of it but Mama Flame understood why.

I do like Mama Flame. I don't really like alot of people. They are so selfish and greedy. Not Mama Flame though, and not Sunset. Most other people though. Enya is okay but she's greedy a lot of the times too. Fire spirts always are greedy. They need to be greedy otherwise they will die. Fire eats all around it. Enya needes contesnt attention for her wood and that's okay because she does it in a warm way still, I don't know.

Anyway besides New Year yesterday not much has been happening. That's fine. Sunset is still asking all the questions and teaching me too. He says he might want to be a teacher one day. That would suite him or he like to be a reasercher and travle all over the word. Both ideas suite him. I don't know what I want to go when I grow up. I don't really like doing anything. Everything seems invole sight.

Maybe I should learn to play an insturment. Yeah, one of Enya's new friends play instruments. Maybe she'll teach me. I'll ask Enya to ask her. That be nice. To learn how to do something by myself. Not everything should invole Sunset. That's not fair to him.

Now he's telling me he doesn't mind doing everything with him but I know that everyone needs their own space. After all even I want some time for myself. This is infact a perfect thing for me to learn. I'll mention it to Mama Flame and Enya, see what they think about it. I'll go ask now.

This is the second time I've done a journal post like this. Written by Sunset. I haven't done one in a long time because I don't like to talk in front of people and I never got a real chance to be alone before. Plus I didn't really feel like taking away from Adish time to make him write for me. Even though he says he's fine with it.

Nothing much has been happening around here. We saw this bird that Adish wants to tame, well the others did. I like birds, they sound really nice, well some but I don't see the big deal about it I geuss. I don't see the big deal about a lot of things though.

I told Enya about how I wanted to learn how to play music and she asked her friend who said he be happy to teach me. They still need to set up a date but I hope it's soon. I get rather bored alot. I can only go so far. Not like Sunset. He likes to explore, to see new things. I wish I could see. I bet it's really cool.

I geuss I should be happy with what I have. After all my family doesn't treat me different. At least not much. Mama Flame says I'm going to grow soon. I still don't talk to her, or anyone but Sunset but I might soon. I know Mama Flame wants me to talk to her. It would make her happy if I talked to her. I'm just so use to not talking at all.

Well I want to go. Maybe I'll have more written later.

Ranger sat, brooding, outside on a tree branch that he had managed to climb by struggling his ways with his wings and his blindness. He hated this. The older he got the worse his conditon seemed to ristrict him. He didn't get it. Wasn't it suppose to be better since he was older? No, it just seemed worse.

He just had this terrbile sense that the entire world was in on something that he was missing out. Which was stupid because there was other blind people out there, people who were blind like him since birth. People who never seen a day in their life.

That was a lie. He had seen. Once. Way back when he was a child, when they were in that jungle that he had emerged in. They were climbing that clif and then suddenly fell. He had seen then, he saw that boy. Ranger's fist clentched as he pounded the tree angerily.

Why? Why was he allowed to see for that one scrap of time but never again? Why did he have to be blind? That girl, what's her name, Sera, she could see and apapently she looked just like him. Ranger snarled slgihtly. It wasn't fair. None of it was fair.

"Ranger!"

That was Sunset. Only Sunset actually looked for him. Flame always just left him alone, something he was both grateful for and restented. Ranger sighed and jumped down from the tree, spreading his wings so the fall wouldn't hurt.

"Right here Sunset" Ranger called, walking to his brother and only friend.

GAHHH! THIS IS SO STUPID!!!! I can't bealive she is leting him stay here. Damn humans. I hate them. They're all stupid. I don't care what Sunset says, I don't like him. The stupid b*****d made random insults and was really rude to Sunset. Then he comes in here, mocks Flame for bealiving that Hououza's are real and he gets to stay. God I swear that Flame is such a push over at times.

I don't even feel like doing this. I don't know why I bullied Sunset into writting this for me. I geuss I thought it help. It doesn't. I feel so angry. I don't even get why. If I was a kid I would of just shrugged it off. Who cares if he lives here? He'll only be here for a month or two. Flame doesn't have the money to support him for longer then that.

Not like the bum has any money of his own. So stupid. he comes in here without a gold to his name and a Hououza feather around his neck and boom he's allowed to stay. I don't get Flame. I really don't.

She has like no room at all, she doesn't make any of her charges move away. I mean Enya's talking about it but she isn't ever going to do it. Why should she? I think I'd move out. If Sunset came with me. I'm sick of being around all these people. I'd just want Sunset with me. Maybe we could travel or something. Yeah he says he like that. We should do that. As soon as we're adults.

God I wish I could see. If I could see then that would be easy but how the hell can we travel when I can barely leave the house? Real stupid. I just hold Sunset back. He says it's not true but it is. If Sunset wasn't always hauling me around then he could get father. Maybe I'm just mad at myself.

Great. Now I'm just depressed. This journal thing is useless. I'm done.

It's amazing. I wouldn't write in here till I had mastered the deed but finally I can do it. I can do anything now. Nothing can hold me back anymore, I refuse to let anything hold me back. Not my emtions, my limitations or any other anoyences that might be in my life right now. Like Victor, the stupid little b*****d.

Finally this journal is mine alone, for my thoughts and my secrets. For finally, I can see.

It's an amazing thing to be able to do. To see I mean. I yerned to for so long and now I can do it. I can see the majesty of the forest that captivated Sunset so well. I can see the beauty of my mother, Flame. I can see the namesake that I gave my cloestest friend and brother.

I can see.

But that is not the only change in my life, no there are plenty more. First of all that stupid human is still hanging around, Victor. Valentines day, the first day of my sight, I found him kissing Flame.

I belted him. It felt good.

I had to apologize though because aparently Flame wanted to be kissed. I don't know why, she could do better. Much better. He had a Hououza kid though, Russell. He's...orange. Okay I geuss, he doesn't like me much since I hit his dad, which is fine with me. Problem is that Sunset is suppose to be his teacher, so I have to spend time with the stupid brat. I don't think I like kids.

Also, this...thing has started to fallow me around. It's...pink and has horns, and this tail and kind of curly things on the side of it's head. Reminds me of a cow...a pink...cow. It wont leave me alone. Stupid thing.

I named it Fyx.
