Their journey continued for many days, each one of them knew that the lands they were going to weren't marked on any map, and would be beyond the giants and beyond the castle on the lake. They were heading towards the icy north.

They were all with the people they cared about which seemed to ease the troubles and pains.

"Meggie, how much longer until we reach the Wayless Wood?" Farid asked.

"About 1 hour, it will be dark though."

The whole group knew that meant trouble. The Wayless Wood at night was a terrible place to be. Their were nightmares and many other creatures roaming the woods. Farid had come prepared and practiced many tricks with his fire before going on this trip to help. Dustfinger had become very impressed.

That night everything would change.

They reached the Wayless wood right before nightfall giving them time to set up shelter before the creatures began their hunt.

"Meggie, does this look like one of those "Action Figures" you were telling me about?" Doria asked, holding up a little wooden figure.

"Yes, it looks just like one." Meggie's cheeks turned red at the sight of Doria's smile and his work just to make her happy.

"Everyone climb up into the tree, its close to nightfall and the trees are the safest spot for now." That was Moe's brilliant voice. Yes the name SilverTongue suited him well.

Everyone started to climb the tree, first Resa then Roxane, the Barn Owl, Farid, Dustfinger, and Doria. Only Moe and Meggie were left on the ground.

Moe looked at her differently, seeing how much she had grown up since they first left the real world and became part of this wild story. It didn't seem like a story anymore where you could just close the book at parts you didn't like, it was life.

Night had fallen when Moe started to climb the ladder beckoning to Meggie. Meggie began to climb when a NightMare appeared from the bushes. She stopped moving, the NightMare striking fear into her heart. Then it jumped at her dragging her away back into the forest.

"Meggie!! No!!" Moe screamed, and then chased after her. He ran as quick as he could, chasing after the NightMare for atleast an hour but then his legs gave out. He couldn't move anymore, there were scars from branches hitting his body and bruises from rocks the NightMare threw behind.

Moe began to wonder why it didn't finish Meggie off instead of dragging her away. His thoughts drifting away, then suddenly he relised 2 things.

Meggie was gone.

He was lost.

Back at camp everyone was scared. Doria was crying, but no one noticed because he hid his tears. Farid began to cast his fire to light up the darkness. Roxane was helping Resa get through this terrible accident, for this time she lost both her husband and her daughter. Dustfinger was alone, away from the group. He wasn't crying or helping. He began to look for Moe and Meggie. He cast his fire through out the forest and started to search. He couldn't let anything happen to them again.

Farid had noticed he left and began to look as well. Thinking he was heading in the same direction as Dustfinger, but ended up going the opposite way. Roxane, Resa, the Barn Owl, and Doria had stayed put knowing that they would just get lost going to look for them. The Barn Owl said that only a few more weeks and Resa's child would be born into this world.

She couldn't let him be born without its father. But she couldn't go out into the woods. She continued to sob, and stayed put.

The group was sepperated.

Moe alone and tired

Dustfinger searching the west for Moe.

Farid in the north.

And everyone else back at camp.

Everyone was scared, yet the worst was to come.
