It was the farthest Ashmedai had come from home. He felt confused and a little conflicted. He just wanted to make everyone proud of him, but no one ever seemed to be proud of him. He wandered aimlessly, coming to a river and taking the jump to swim across. It was a little hard, but he had made it. He shook and continued. The setting sun doused everything in golds and reds. It looked like the world was on fire. Even though Ash had been in a lower mood, he couldn't help but enjoy the view. Clouds stretched on for what seemed like forever, being all kinds of colors that just didn't seem to be anywhere else but in the sunset. Several birds flew overhead, silhouetted by the bright light. Ashmedai squinted as he watched them cross the sky.

Continuing on, the stormy boy found a land of grasses that seemed to engulf everything in sight. The grasses stood above Ashmedai's line of sight, swaying gently in the chilly evening air. Each blade seemed highlighted by the setting sun. Ash settled for stomping down a patch of grass and sitting, watching as the sun set and the stars seemed to appear one by one in the sky. He sighed to himself, wondering what the stars were and why they seemed so pretty. He would sit and watch the sky for some time, in no rush to return home, where he felt more or less like a failure at the moment. Is this what becoming a teenager was about?
