Me: Next chapter of a story I started a couple of years ago
Fang: For anyone who is new on this adventure look on Annfazukimi's profile
Lief: Also she doesn't own Deltora Quest or Maximum Ride
Me: This story will once again be in Fang's POV unless I specifically say otherwise

No POV
A young girl named Jasmine is swinging through the trees not really caring how fast she's going. Then, she hears her companion, Barda call out, "I know you want to get out of here, but I don't think it's a good idea to go that fast." Jasmine lands as her companions catch up. Her unkempt black hair falling in place. She turns to see her companions. The tall man named Barda with neater black hair and a boy with blond hair who is about her size and age named Lief. Lief agrees with Barda and says, "I know we just got done with Thegan but we should look around." Jasmine then says, "Okay but we should still we need to hurry." Jasmine nods and swings off in the trees. A raven flies down and and caws at her. "Are you sure Kree." She jumps down from the tree in front of her companions and says, "Kree says he found an unconscious boy."
The trio hurries to where Kree is leading and come across a boy in a weird green tunic. On his forehead is a weird mark. Barda speaks up about the mark, "That mark looks familiar." Lief then says, "It's in the book of Deltora, I remember it said when King Odin needed help a woman known as a Story Master, her name I believe is Yuma. The book said she provided help in the form of a knight, on the knight's forehead was this symbol." Barda then says, "Let's camp here until he wakes up. Even if he is a knight he may need help." Jasmine says, "Are you sure we can't move him to somewhere safer, maybe try to find Tom's shop. I would rather not run into Thegan's children with an unconscious person even if he is a knight of Yuma." Barda says, "Unfortunately we can't, we have to wait until we know he can move." Jasmine nods however uneasily. Phily who's Jasmine's puffball companion from her home pops out and lands on the boy, who from the impact starts to wake.
Fang's POV
I start to wake when I feel something land on me. An acorn maybe? I open my eyes to see three figures bending over me. The thing that landed on me was not an acorn but a furry puffball with eyes and a cowlick. The tallest of the three says, "Good morning, you know there are better places to sleep than on the ground." I stand up and defensively say, "I wasn't sleeping I was…" I didn't finish when I realize I don't know these people. The boy who looks a little older than me says, "It's okay, we can see the mark of Yuma on your forehead. You can trust us." I realize he telling the truth and tell them what happened so far. The Blond nods and tells me what they were doing (A/N just watch Deltora Quest to know what happened, they just got the ruby from the Lake of Tears so there). He then says, "Although we are getting ahead of myself, my name is Lief." He gestures to his companions and says, "This is Jasmine and Barda." He then says, "The bird is Kree and the puffball is Filly." I then answer, "My name is Fang."
It's evening when Jasmine speaks up, "Do hear that." We all stop when Barda asks, "Is it Grey Guards?" Jasmine shakes her head no and says, "It sounds like a pack of wolves coming this way." We start running down the path. We then find that we can't keep running and find ourselves cornered by a tree. Lief pulls a branch trying to make a torch. He and I try to figure out how to light it when a strange blue light does this for us. The wolves appear and circle us in. Lief holds the torch up high. I look up and see a rope getting burned through. I'm about to call it out as a trap when all too soon the rop burns through and we are all caught up in a rope trap and the wolves begin to sing.
Sorceress Thaegan gobs her favorite food
In her cave with all her brood
and the name of her children are
Hot, Tot, Jin, Jod,
Fie Fly Zan Zod Pik, Snik
Lun, Lod and of course the dreaded Ichabod
As the wolves repeat the names they start to transform. With the final name they are all transformed as Lief says in horror, "These are Thaegan's children." Then two blue flames come out and say, "These guys are the ones who killed Mommy and us. The fourth guy in the back is new though." Reffering to me. They then start talking about how they'll eat us. I feel Philly on my back chewing through the ropes, he needs time. Lief and I come to the same conclusion at the same time.
He says, "He you know there's only 4 of us, that means not all of you will get the same share, but if there's only 8 of you, you each can have half a person." When they realize this they start taking out the smaller two of the siblings. Jasmine asks, "Lief what are you doing?" Just as I say, "You know if there are only four of you, each of you can get your own person to eat." That's when Jasmine comes up to the conclusion that we're buying time. When there are 4 siblings Philly only needs one more distration to cut throught the rope. Lief then says, "Now look at us, whoever gets Barda will have a meal, but if they get Jasmine, Fang or me they only get a mouthful." I add in, "I'm only skin and bones really." The biggest of Thaegan's children, Ichabod I'm guessing takes out the other three children left. If he succeeds I don't know because Philly finishes and we all hit the ground running.
It's not long before we hear the pounding of wolf feet. Just ahead of us is a river and a waterfall that leads to a divide. I consider an up and away when I remember my new companions can't fly. I'm dragged from my thoughts when I feel Barda roughly grab me and toss me on his back, I then see him pick up Lief and Jasmine and then charge ahead. He jumps with the three of us and makes it to the other side. Jasmine says, "I think we're out of Thaegan's territory, think they can follow us here?" We look to see they cannot. We start to walk following a sign's direction pointing to something called Tom's Shop.
As we walk Barda says, "Back there when I picked you up Fang I didn't expect you to be so light, just how much do you weigh?" I give this a thought and answer, "Probably a little under 100 pounds." The three stop and look at me Jasmine says, "You don't look grotesquely skinny, how do you not weigh that much?" "Jasmine!" Lief buts in saying, "That's a little rude to ask." I then say, "It's fine, I'm used to it, my body's just different that's all." Lief asks, "Different how, are you not human?" I answer saying, "I'm 98% human and 2% avian." They look confused still as I continue, "I'm part bird, my bones are hollow, and I hardly have any fat. I also have a pair of wings that allow me to fly." Jasmine then says, "Let's see those wings." I sigh and ignore what Lief says about being rude and shrug my shoulders a little bit and extend my wings to their full 14 -foot wingspan. We continue towards Tom's shop after seeing the weather vein.
When we arrive at Tom's Shop I find myself surprised to see merchandise just lying on a table in the open. The sign says that every purchase gets a free gift. We walk inside to see no one is manning the counter and merchandise once again just lying around. Barda says, "How can this Tom be so trusting, I could just grab something and walk away." To demonstrate this he grabs a lantern only to get stuck. He then says, "I can't pull my hand away, I'm stuck." Jasmine then says, "Stop messing around and let go of that lantern." "I can't." Barda says through straining to get free. Just then a man with a barbershop hat comes in and says, "Maybe this is to show that Tom isn't so trusting."
He pushes a button and Barda's hand is released. Tom then says, "What can Tom do for you." He sees me and says, "Maybe Tom can interest you in this." He hands me some arrows and I say, "How do you know." He answers, "Knights shouldn't run out of arrows." I remember I am low on arrows from my last few fights in Hyrule. Jasmine then asks, "How does this shop work?" I explain it because the other two are more focused on what the shop has to listen to her. Then a man with a scar on his face enters the shop and, after being rude to Jasmine buys a rope from Tom and runs into me. He looks at my forehead a little shocked then leaves. Jasmine then says, "I'm going to wait for you outside, I don't like being in this shop." I then say, "I'll come with you." After a bit of waiting the three men come out. We then get a few rides, Jasmine payed with a lot of gold (and I thought I had the endless wallet). we ride off.
We come across a fork in the road. One road leads through the forest and the other by the river. Jasmine and I each agree we should take the path through the forest like Tom said. We listen to the two because of reason. Then the things we're on go out of controll and we are tossed from their backs and go unconscious.
