*And from the ashes we shall rise? Who knows we'll see.*
Shinova with Meeko on his back continued to look up beyond the treeline behind them. "I wish I knew where we were going. These mountains don't look all that safe, but I'm sure there is nothing to worry about." Shinova sighed. Shinova was worried something might happen to his newly acquired family. He began to have thoughts as to what his future may entail. 'Shall I leave them? Shall I stay? What is going to happen to them? Will they miss me?'
With all these thoughts in Shinova's head it was hard to concentrate. All of a sudden Shinova came to a stop quickly. 'What if I am going in the wrong direction? What if by me going into the mountains is a mistake and I end up dying? Will that do nothing but cause hurt and pain to come to Nova and Mio?' He turned his head to begin talking with Meeko again. "Is this the right thing to do? Should we be up here alone? What if something happens to us?"
