Rythian's P.O.V
We continued walking through the forest for what seemed like decades. All we saw were trees and occasional mushrooms that Zoey claimed were "not talking to her". Eventually, the trees became fewer and fewer, and we saw what appeared to be a castle in the distance. "Oh Rythian look!" Zoey exclaimed. "It's like Disneyland over there, let's go!" Zoey began sprinting toward the tall castle.
"Zoey, no! We shouldn't" I stopped because I realized she wouldn't listen and began running after her.
I caught up to her when she paused to catch her breath. While she was resting, I heard a noise, like a rustling sound from the trees. Zoey continued to pant. I heard it again, the rustling. "What is that?"
Zoey stood up. "What is what?" She asked. I pointed to the trees. I heard the sound again, and again, and saw some leaves move. I could sense it wasn't hostile, but I couldn't tell what it was. "Oh my gosh." We heard it say as it slowly revealed itself, or herself really. A girl wearing a purple star covered robe stepped out, looking confused, and excited. The purple mage walked over to us saying "Oh my gosh, we never have visitors here! This is amazing! Are you from the Brightlands? What's it like up there?! How are the" We cut her off there. "Wow,wow,wow slow are you, and where are we?" She looked us for a second like we were stupid then said "Your in the Realm of Twilight, how did you not know that?" I turned to Zoey, waiting for her to answer. "I jumped in the portal without finding out what the heck it was first because I got bored." She answered laughing. The mage began laughing too. Why were they laughing? That's not funny. Jumping into to random portals is not a good thing. The purple mage's laughter died down as she finally said "My name is Nyan, pleasure to meet ya'! What are your names?" I wasn't going to reveal my name to some random person. "I'm Zoey, and this is Teep the dinosaur, and Rythian." Nyan went over to look at Teep. She seemed surprised. Well, I guess most people would be to see a dinosaur with a sniper rifle. "Wow". She said softly. Teep backed away slowly. He probably thought she was weird. I kind of did too, to be honest. " You guys look tired. The town's not too far away from here if you want me to take you there." I still didn't trust her, but I was incredibly tired, and hungry, so I didn't have much of a choice really. She began leading us to the town. While we were walking, I had some time to think. Okay, so we are in the Twilight Forest, I was right, but why are we here? I don't get it.
