and warmth. He shakes our hands very politely. Oliver told me that you guys were coming, however I thought it was a lie of course he said laughing. I mean the noble heroes at my small village, and then I realized that Oliver never lies. He beamed proudly once again and we smiled back. We have rooms already reserved for you guys so don’t worry about that. I assume that you don’t have absolutely any supplies for your term here he said looking around if there were any bags that belonged to us. That’s okay we have tons of things ready for you. Oliver told me to get everything ready. Lydia! He chimed searching the crowds that were now shaking hands with us. Yes daddy? The little girl poked her head from behind the crowd. The girl was absolutely, positively adorable. She looked like she was about five or six; she had red curls with rosy checks and a spray of freckles on her nose. Her pink fluffy dress with a white lace looked very pretty on her, though it wasn’t very noticeable form the crowd. The crowd was all wearing bright noticeable colors. Can you please take our guests to their rooms? The one, that’s near the sea bay? She asked very innocently. Yeah honey that one he replied. Alright daddy she obeyed, she came up to me and said follow me please. Of course I answered wanting to grab her and hug her. I gestured to Jason and Annabelle to follow me. It was a very cool and breezy evening, the wind wasn’t that oppressive. I felt very lighthearted as I walking down a stony path. Everybody seemed very enthusiastic and nice here. I heard Annabelle take a huge breath of the fresh smelling air. Here you go Lydia said stopping at a medium sized wooden cabin. It was near many houses and food stalls. And right next to our house was the most beautiful lake I have ever seen in my life. Wow Jason said with awe. The water just sparkled with dark shades of blue with a stream of white running down the center from the moon. The moon had shown bright touching the horizon. Lydia noticed us staring. A small smile curved up in her mouth, its beautiful isn’t it? She remarked. Yeah it is I replied smiling back at her. But please the sea is only for admiring, or dipping your hands or feet in the water. No taking baths she said and definitely no throwing trash she stated her chubby finger waving at our faces. We got that clear Annabelle assured her, narrowing her eyes at Jason. Jason put his hands up in the air saying he promised not to litter the water. Okay guys you can go in now, and after she said that she ran to her friends who were calling her from a distance. I walked in, and the minute I did I could smell the fresh scent of pine. There was a big warm hearty fire in the living room surrounded by 3 couch chairs ready to be sat on. On the floor there was a huge rug in which you could sit and read a book. Guys explore around the house I said finally breaking the silence. They both nodded and started roaming around the house inspecting everything with a smile on their faces. I started climbing upstairs in search of our rooms. There were two rooms. So I guessed one was for me and Annabelle and the other was Jason’s. I sighed and went in our room, I wouldn’t say it was small, but it wasn’t very big either. There were two beds one for me and one for Annabelle. I noticed a wooden dresser. I assumed there were clothes in it. There was another door in our room. I opened it and found out it was a bathroom. The bathtub wasn’t like a normal bathtub I use to shower in. It looked like a huge round bowl, it looked like a Jacuzzi and it was made out of stone bricks. Like almost a pool but this bath tub looked like a hot spring. Annabelle and I will love a hot spring I thought to myself smiling. I inspected the room more carefully. The wood wasn’t exactly polished but it was somehow a very nice warm place. Not to fancy I said clapping my hands together, smiling broadly I walked out of the room. I saw Annabelle standing there talking to Jason, when she noticed me she asked is that our room? I nodded and walked up to them. So did you guys like it? I asked for opinions. Yeah it’s a nice place Annabelle said. Jason agreed very welcoming. Annabelle I exclaimed eagerly there is a hot spring in our bathroom! Oh really she said with relaxed eyes, I want to go take a bath. Sure lets go I said. We left Jason standing by himself, Isolated. I felt bad leaving him alone, but he probably has things on his mind to do. Once again I returned to our room Annabelle looked around. After a while we were both in the hot springs resting our elbows in the edges of the tub. AHHHHH, this is the life Annabelle purred. I know right, after a long day of hard work and stress I need this I laughed back. Then a thought popped in my head, it was a conversation I had to bring up, or else it would never leave my curiosity. Annabelle I asked does King Fasa know about us? After a long pause Annabelle said it’s most likely he knows about us, Fasa is a very clever and powerful man he knows anything. By now he probably knows that we’re here. That’s scary; I mean what if he comes here and attack the villagers in search of us? What are we going to do then? Just thinking about it gives me chills I said grimly. A shrewd man like Fasa would never hunt new enemies like us Annabelle noted, after we come close enough to destroy his plan of getting rid of the world then he attacks. For now I suggest you don’t worry about it she yawned. I nodded still unsure. All of a sudden Annabelle grabbed her towel and said wait here I will go change after I am finished you can go change yourself. I nodded silently still thinking of Fasa, what evil scheme is he up to?

Master they have already managed to elude from the wreaths of the white lake, a balding man mumbled his voice quivering. His balding head was bowed down. Sweat was streaming down his neck. I see said a high and very deep voice, it’s a surprise they’d escaped from that. Keep an eye on them Blaylin. Yes master I will he murmured back. You may leave now; I need some time to be alone the loud booming voice continued. Of course master, with that he scurried away like a mouse scared off of its wits. After a long pause, the voice laughed bitterly and then yelled who dare’s to challenge the shadow lord, the master, THE EVIL KING FASA! His voice boomed louder and louder. He sat high on a royal throne, his room looked like a dungeon, and everyone who entered it is haunted with an eerie feeling. His castle was truly lifeless, dark, and uninviting. Everywhere there were skulls and scary and creepy things around. Fasa himself was surprisingly a 19 year old teenager which has a horrible personality and his heart was nothing but hallow, he was always dressed in a large black cape and wore a bulky black crown with skulls embodied around the rim of it. He had no remorse what’s so ever. His main goal is destruction, power, and pleasure. But something was missing that he wasn’t sure if he wants or not nor does he know what it was.

I opened the wardrobe and stared inside it for a long time with a widened expression. All the clothes inside were only dresses, country dresses. There were no jeans or t-shirts. After a long time I decided to wear a cream color ankle length dress with pink flowers scattered all around the dress. I wore black tights underneath. I combed my wet black hair, for once I actually wanted to look nice. I put on pink lipstick from a table which had makeup and a big mirror. I applied on some lip gloss and patted my eyes lightly with a cream color and a light shade of pink. The good thing was that it wasn’t very noticeable then I finished of with some eyeliner which cleaned the bottom of my eyes. I poked my head out and looked to see if Annabelle was there. Then I saw her, I was relieved that she wore something like me and put on light make up as well. She grinned when she saw me. You look pretty she said. I chuckled and said you look better, she was wearing a cotton candy pink color which was ankle length and had golden hearts laced around the hem of the dress and the sleeves. Thank you she said. Jason walked in too. He was wearing black pants with a white a messy dress shirt. His blond hair was tousled (which wasn’t a surprise), but it didn’t look bad it actually looked nice on him. He raised an eyebrow at us and a smirk appeared on his face, fancy much he said. There weren’t any casual clothes Annabelle protested. Yeah, yeah Jason said teasingly, already the first time you came to this village and you’re already trying to impress. Annabelle scowled. We laughed a nice hearty laugh. It was nice to laugh this much after such a while. We climbed down the stairs and made our way outside again. It was dark but the village lights dazzled brightly in the dark sky. Hi guys! We saw Lydia running to us. When she caught up to us panting she asked us to follow her. We did as we were told. We were back to the village’s central area, loud crowds awaited us. There we saw Lydia’s father making his way toward us. Hello! I didn’t have time to introduce myself; my name is Dan…Dan Johnson he said promptly. We nodded. Here you guys are probably hungry, his grin stretched from ear to ear. He escorted us to a wide table away from the crowd. They gave us huge trays of food. Like turkeys, mutton, bread, juice, gravy, rice, and cake. It was a full pledged meal I could tell you that. I was so hungry that I munched down everything I could reach and finally washed it down with cool apple cider. By the time we were finished our bellies were full and happy. It was rather too full. We sat down in a corner near a big oak tree. Hiding from the crowd apparently was the best thing to do with a full stomach, beside the fact they come up to you and ask so many trivial questions, and keep looking at you with wide eyes. Finally Jason broke the silence, he yawned deeply closing his eyes. Aren’t the stars beautiful? I asked as I watched the twinkling stars. The moon smiled down at us. Wow I never got to see so many stars in the cities. All I can say is that I am very tired Jason said stretching his arms wide open. Well go to sleep I said coolly with annoyance. Good idea he said, heaving him up and trudging lazily towards the cabin. I scowled at him as he walked away. Such a party pooper isn’t he? Annabelle huffed. Forget him I replied guys are always stupid. Annabelle looked at me with a smile and
