A/N: This chapter takes place on the day after Yuletide.
Thirrin had barely slept. She was so anxious to see what Leonidas had been talking about. The last time she had visited Oskan's cave was the day after his funeral. She remembered seeing odd things which made her believe she was in the Plain of Desolation.
Thirrin walked into the cave armed with her sword and carrying a lantern. As she walked through the caves she noticed the sounds of footsteps.
"Who's there?" Thirrin shouted.
She quickly regretted speaking out as the fire in her lantern. Followed by small tremors in the cave and whispering. Thirrin stood her ground as the weird things happened. Finally she heard footsteps. She lunged forward with her sword and all chaos broke loose.
"Jeez lady you almost cut off my head!" The teenage girl cried. She had beautiful brown hair and odd black eyes.
"Who the hell are you people?" Thirrin yelled.
"We should be asking you that." Said another warlock tall and thin warlock with glasses and brown hair and black eyes exactly the same as the girls.
Thirrin looked at the remaining 4 Adepts who hadn't spoken. There were two more girls whose personalities' were completely. The one on the left was visibly perky. She looked one of the girly girls form the Polypontus colony of Garsco who always smiled and had beauty but no brains. Her brown skin and black hair though dispelled her being from Garsco. She looked like Sharley's girlfriend except she was taller and probably no doubt an Adept. But the odd part was her soulless black eyes identical to the others.
But the one next to her, was a gloomy teenage girl. She had a horrible scowl on and black makeup on. Unlike the girl on the left her hair was all messed up and midnight black. Oskan had told her about this type of Adepts. They were called Gothicas. For some Adepts the choice between good and evil is to overbearing. They choose to be neutral and in the process destroys all sense of emotion and replaces it with a hate for the world. But she was not a full Gothica yet. She was just missing the ceremonial face piercings. Like the others she had soulless black eyes.
But the other two boys stood out in the group. One was tall with blonde hair and built exterior. But the odd thing was his eyes. They were blue! The boy next to him was even odder. His hair was the same jet black hair as Oskan's. In fact he looked almost exactly like Oskan except for the forehead and the eyes. They were honey colored and if you stared deep enough into them it seemed like there was a blazing fire.
"Well answer who are you lady?" Shouted the teen with honey eyes impatiently.
"You answer first my question first." Thirrin said still analyzing the people before her.
"Rhana's my name." The brown skinned girl said.
"William." The kid with glasses said with obvious annoyance in his voice.
"Phyra." The near-Gothica said rolling her eyes.
"Mara." The brown haired beauty said.
"Julius." The blonde haired boy said.
"Theon." The boy who looked like Oskan said.
"All right what are you doing in Oskan Witchfather's cave?" Thirrin said no holstering her sword.
Before any of them could answer the floor vanished beneath them.

Thirrin landed in a bed of soft flowers and comfortable pillows. As the others land on on a tough dirt road . Thirrin opened her eyes to her surprise and happiness. The tall figure had jet black hair and a warm smile. Only one man smiled like that. And that was her man.
"Oskan my love it is you!" Thirrin said jumping into Oskan's arms.
"It's been to long my love." Oskan said sharing a long passionate kiss with Oskan.
"Aw, that's so romantic!" Rhana said with her head on Julius' shoulder.
"It's nauseating." Phyra said dryly.
"Well so are you Phyra but we live with you." Theon joked causing the group to give a little chuckle.
Oskan turned around to face the 6 Adepts causing them to abruptly stop.
"Well if it isn't the troublemakers of the Plain of Desolation." Oskan said obviously mad at them.
"What do you mean Oskan?" Thirrin asked.
"Why don't you explain Theon Witch's Son." Oskan said with a sly look on his face.
Theon looked to the ground in shame.
"We kind of set the Plain of Desolation on fire. And then turned we kind of the Doge into a rat and sent him into a snake pit. But we made them non-venomous!" Theon said with some hope that they would be forgiven.
"They bit the Doge's leg." Oskan said.
"So that's why he walks with a limp!" Thirrin said in sudden realization.
"Now be gone you jokesters!" Oskan said and with a flick of his wrist they were gone.

Oskan and Thirrin walked through the forest of flowers and lakes and trees. It was truly a beautiful place. Who knew the Summer Lands were such a beautiful place? But as they continued she realized this wasn't the Summer Lands. Nor Valhalla. There was singing so beautiful it could make people cry. There were to giants. One seemed female and the other male. They were dressed in leaves and where every they went birds followed. There was a man in the lake on board of kelp. His beard was long and brown. His sea green eyes were mesmerizing and his laughter was booming.
"There is my Grand Nephew!" The man in the water said. "Come Oskan join me!"
Thirrin was now sure they weren't in the Summer Lands.
"Oskan where are we?" Thirrin said now obviously confused.
"Were in the Forests of the my grandmother." Oskan said. "Were in the forest of the Goddess herself."
Okay sorry this chapter is so short. I had just completely changed the storyline. Hope you like it!
