Chapter 1: New World!
Aurora looked around her, it appeared they were in a wood. She looked down and saw something on the ground moving but barely.
"Hey Kaz! Come look at this." she yelled
Kaz put what looked like a tiny dragon in his pocket and went to see what Aurora was looking at.
"What is it?" he asked as he saw it.
"I dunno..." she mumbled
Kaz picked it up.
"I think it's a cat... but it looks different from the ones on our islands"
"Shut up! Don't talk about our island! Someone could hear you!"
"Sorry... anyway I think its hurt whatever it is. We should do something to help it"
"Well we can't use our healing things because we don't know what it would do to the creatures here. Maybe we should let nature take its course."
After a while Kaz put the cat down.
"Lets go."
They started to work their way through the woods, noting in their heads which way they were going and what was around them.
"Hurry up Kaz! We gotta get outta here before nightfall!"
"I'm sorry, it's just that Rowan keeps on moving and it tickles!"
Kaz got out the tiny dragon and looked at it.
"Will you stop moving? It's annoying me and slowing us down!"
"Well sorry! It's not my fault you're pocket isn't comfortable!" Squeaked Rowan.
"Give him here. I'll take him"
Kaz gave Aurora Rowan and she put him on her shoulder and he hid under her hair so no one would see him and then they carried on their journey.
Just before nightfall they got out of the wood and managed to catch a ride on a lorry to a city the lorry driver called London.
On the way whilst Kaz slept Aurora watch the things outside go by and she noticed that this place was much different than their islands but yet they had some similarities as well.
It took a long time to get to the city but when they did is was early morning.
Aurora and Kaz thanked the driver and went on their way to find the origin of his spear and her dagger.
As they walked through the city they noticed that it was huge and they would soon get lost, but they kept going because they had to.
When they turned down one street two men in blue uniforms came running over to them.
"Pardon me Sir, madam, but it is against the law for you to carry those weapons. Please hand them over."
"My weapons?! NO! You can't take them! I will hurt no one with them unless they are evil!"
"Me too!"
"Evil? Well that may be the case but you still have to hand them over or be arrested!"
"Arrested?"
As they argued with the men a young girl and boy came over.
"Excuse me? Police officer? Hi, my names Adam and this is my sister Lisa. These are our cousins and their new here, their visiting! Where they come from their allowed to carry their weapons. We'll take them home and make sure they don't bring them out again. Thank you! Bye!"
And they ran off dragging Aurora and Kaz with them.
They ran into an alleyway and stopped.
"Hi. I'm Lisa. You guys looked like you could use a hand getting away from those pigs!"
Aurora and Kaz looked at each other.
"Err... why did you help us? We don't know you. You don't know us. No one else around here apart from a lorry driver seems to be kind to anyone."
"I know. People in London are like that. But we're not from London. We're from Devon."
"Oh! Are people nice in Devon?"
"Oh yes! Their great!"
"Then why are you here? Where are your parents?"
"We don't have parents. And we're not really related but we grew up together and live together so we say we're brother and sister."
"We're here because we have no money and London's good place to get it apparently."
"Oh... I'm sorry..."
Aurora looked down, she remembered her parents.
"No need to be sorry, we're not. We don't remember our parents. We look after ourselves okay."
"I know what its like not to have parents, its not good, and she lost her mother when she was young and had a... violent father."
Lisa looked appalled.
"He hurt you?!"
"He tried to kill me."
"Oh my god! That's horrible!"
"Sorry to sound rude but... um... you haven't told us your names."
"Oh sorry. I'm Kaz and this is Aurora."
"What nice names. Unusual."
"Well thank you for your help. We'll be on our way now. Goodbye."
Aurora and Kaz turn to go.
"Wait! You can't go back out there with your weapons! The pigs will stop you again!"
"Well we can't leave them, we WON'T leave them."
"Come with us, we'll show you the back alleys and how not to get seen."
"Well..."
"Okay! Thanks!"
So Aurora and Kaz spent the day with Adam and Lisa, when the day was almost over they were out of the city and by a road.
"Well what do we do now?"
"Well where do you guys wanna go?"
"Well we need to find the origin of our spear and dagger"
Aurora elbowed Kaz in the arm.
"We need not concern them with that."
"You mean you're on a quest? Cool! Can we come? We could help you!"
Lisa looks at the weapons.
"Maybe the country area, why don't you try Devon? We could guide you! We know it well"
"Well we shouldn't really-"
"Great! We'll all go!"
Aurora shook her head and sighed.
"Fine, but if you get in trouble and we have to save you then you have to leave us"
"Sure! We'll be no trouble!"
So they all headed along the road, the two adults being led by two teenagers.
Aurora looked around her, it appeared they were in a wood. She looked down and saw something on the ground moving but barely.
