Grace floated near not wanting to get lost.(sorry iv'e been gone for so long) "how long do you think it will take to find a mountain thats on fire?"

Hazel glanced down at the diary. She flipped through, and finally found how many days. "About two weeks, probably longer, seeing how this whole thing is FILLED with things along the way." she said, putting away the diary. "Let's go."

Amiretta had a pixie caught in her hair and one had clamped it's teeth onto her ear. "You know what we forgot to bring?" She said, annoyedly. "Pixie repellent!"

Hazel shrugged and kept walking. she wanted to be as far away as possible before night fall.

Ivan sighed a little "no we dont need that, you just need to show them that you mean no harm" he siad as he gently took the pixies off of Amiretta. To each one he gave them some huney and sent them on there way

Hazel kept walking. when it was nearly nightfall, she stopped in a clearing. "I think we can stop." she said, sitting down. She took a look at the diary. They still had a ways to go, but they were making progress.

Amiretta rubbed the top of her stinging ear and shrugged. "Well I'm tired." She flopped down on the moss of the forest floor and tried to relax.

Hazel grabbed a stick and brought it over. she was to tired to do anything else, so she lay down. She hoped the others would build a fire from that.

Ivan gathered some wood and made a fire since it looked like Hazel was about ready to pass out. He then set a pot over the fire and started to make a stew. He knew everyone would be hungery and he was the only one who wasn't tired. Soon the whole camp smelled like stew and he smiled "hey who wants some food?"

Amiretta sat bolt up right and said "Me!" Like a kindergardener with cookies for snack. She blushed and looked down just as her stomach growled audibly.

Ivan laughed a little and took out a bowl. "okay" he said as he filled it and handed it to her

Amiretta had had her share of on-the-road cooking and Ivan's was high on her list of efficeint on the go chefs. "Wow. Who knew ex dark elites could cook?" She whispered to herself.

Hazel grunted. She was to tired to eat, dang it. she lay down and pretended to fall asleep.

Ivan got another bowl out and looked at Hazel "do you want any? it will give you energy"

Amiretta wolfed down her portion. "It's really good.": She said, with a full mouth.

Hazel looked up. "Fine." she agreed, taking the soup. She licked some, then lay down again.

Ivan sighed and got his own bowl of stew and ate it. It was good and smiled at Hazel "hope you have a good sleep"

Hazel grunted and pulled out the diary. I got through the field, unharmed. darn. I am now in the forest, where many Dark's await my presence. if any Light follows me, this is a warning: DO NOT EAT ANY PLANT THAT GROWS IN THE FOREST. "we won't need to tell anyone about that little comment." she said under her breath.

Hazel was looking at a small black leather-bound book. She held it like it was some great treasure, but it was so old an tattered Amiretta knew that it wouldn't be worth much to sell. Nothing of consequnce.

Hazel closed the diary. She wanted all of them to fall asleep so she could look at the diary in more detail. "I'm going to sleep." she said, just so she could listen to any valuable info.

"Sure, have a good rest." Amiretta's own eyelids began to droop as she began to drift between reality and the world of dreams. "G' night."

Hazel saw Amireta falling asleep, she closed her eyes and tried to doze off also.

Amiretta began to dream...

A woman, who Amiretta instinclivley knew was her mother, was chained with onxy in a pit in the middle of some desolate pit in a waste land. She struggled against her restrains but she was no match for those chains and she was trapped with no freedom in sight. Ruby rivers came from her wrists from how she pulled against the chains, crimson tears poured from many open wounds all over her black robed body. Her hair was silver and her eyes matched Amirettas her face was almost identical, with only a few lines around her eyes. "My daughter?" She whispered, her eyes sparkling with dregs of hope as if she could sense Amiretta's presence.

((......kool and weird at the same time........))

Hazel started thinking about HQ. They would probably send someone after her, but she was sure she could tell them why she was with them and she wasn't switching sides or anything. She stood up. "I'm not leaving, I'm just getting some thing else to eat." she told Ivan, then went into the bushes.

((I'm glad you think so.))
