"Ah! I'm tired! My legs are sore!" Jaden whined as he slowly kept up with Jesse and Rena.
"Come on, Jay, be strong! We're almost there," Jesse cheerfully said trying to encourage Jaden.
"Jess, are you kidding me? We only been walking for 5 days! And the journey is about 1 to 2 weeks, and most likely 2 weeks! And that doesn't include coming back from the trip! We're not even close. Honestly, we're closer to our kingdom than the village!" Rena argued. Usually, she would agree with Jesse about trying to cheer up Jaden, but this time she was just as tired as Jaden.
"That's true. Yeah, I guess we can rest," Jesse shrugged his shoulder. The truth was that he was tired too.
"Yes!" Jaden and Rena cheered as they high five each other.
They kept walking until they found a large tree. They sat down beneath the tree and got out their lunch and started eating.
"I don't understand why General Crowler wouldn't give us those horses that the knights use for traveling. It would have helped us travel way faster," Jaden asked.
"How should I know?" Jesse replied.
"Well, General Crowler said that those horses are needed for the knights to practice for battles and other stuffs," Rena answered, "Don't really understand it, but you know can't really argue against a general…"
"True," Jaden and Jesse agreed.
"He still could give us something to help us travel…" Jaden thought of. "We left in such a hurry; I couldn't even say a proper goodbye to Sy or Hassleberry!"
"Yeah, well, it's a bit too late to say that," Rena said.
"And beside, you send them both a letter saying you have to go and that you'll give them the deeds later," Jesse said.
"Yeah, but I still wanted to tell them in person..." Jaden looked up the sky. "Oh, well, at least for now, we can rest," Jaden lay down on the grass.
"Yeah," Jesse and Rena agreed. They both lay down next to Jaden and soon they all fall into a deep and sweet dream.
"Hurry up! Come on, move it!" a woman's voice cried out.
"I know; I'm trying! But you know you CAN slow down for me! I'm carrying a person on my back, just letting you know!" another voice yelled back. This time the voice was a male's.
"Oh, I know, and I bet I can go much faster than you with HER on my back!" the woman argued.
"Well, then, why don't you take her?" the man protested.
"Simple, I'm a woman and you're a man. Now, move your lazy bum!" the woman shouted.
"Hm?" Rena gently rubbed her eyes. "Jay, Jess, stop shouting at each other for no apparent reason!" Rena annoying said. However, when Jaden and Jesse didn't reply, she sat up and saw that both of them are still in deep sleep.
"Wait… what? Then who… was that?" Rena wondered as she stood up trying to find where those voices were coming from. As she walked a few more steps, she saw two mysterious figures with one of them carrying a big brown stack bag. "That bag… it almost looks like it can fit a person in it. I wonder if it is. I should ask what Jay and Jess think."
Rena ran as fast as she could back to the tree. As she reached the tree, she started to shake the boys, "Jay, Jess, wake up!"
"What, Rena?" Jaden asked, "What's the matter?"
"Yeah, Rena," Jesse slowly got up.
"I heard some noises over there and when I got over there I saw two weirdoes carrying a huge stack bag," Rena explained.
Jaden and Jesse looked at each other and asked, "So what?"
"I think there might be a person inside the bag," Rena replied.
"Then what are we waiting for!" Jaden suddenly got up, "come on, guys. We got to save whoever might be inside that bag," Jaden started to run toward the place where Rena pointed. Rena is usually right when it came to these stuffs.
"Right," Jesse and Rena followed Jaden.
