When I awoke from my slumber the sun was already shining bright. Being so far up it must have only been dark a couple of hours. I woke up a couple times during the night with night terrors, but each time I looked up to see Elmont sitting next to me and I wasn't all that scared anymore. I must admit I started having doubts about coming up here during the night, but that might just have been the dark and the half asleepness talking.

Elmont was no longer by my side when I awakened. Jack and Crawe were gone as well. As I looked up I saw them standing a little higher. I stood up and climbed up to them. There it was Gantua, I couldn't believe my eyes. The whole thing was just floating in the air.

'Good morning Princess, I hope you slept well.' Elmont asked

'Not at all, but thank you.' I answered him

Crawe climbed up to the house but could find no sign of her. We went further up and onto the floating island.

'Well, she's not in the house. This is the only other place she could have gone. If she climbed down we would have seen her' Crawe said

'She didn't climb down she climbed up.' Elmont said

We climbed further up and out of the cave. Elmont reached out for me to hold his hand as I climbed up. I ignored it and climbed further up on my own. It was a nice gesture, really, but it didn't make me feel useful at all. I mean if I can't even climb up a little ledge on my own why did I even bother to come with. Elmont looked surprised but quickly looked the other way. We went on to find carvings in the trees made by my sister. As we found her last one half finished Jack found broken branches indicating that something took her, something big. We had no indication whatsoever in knowing which way it took her so Elmont decided to split us up. I went with Elmont, Crawe and Jack. We went on to walk for what seemed like hours.

As we were walking across the fields I walked up to Elmont.

'Elmont?'

'Yes milady.'

'I'm sorry, for, for this morning, in the cave, I mean. I just want you to know that I deeply appreciate your help, but I need to do some things on my own. I mean it's not like you're helping Crawe climb up'

'No I understand. I know you don't always need my help, but that doesn't stop me from offering it every once in a while.' He smiled as he quickly walked up. 'Anyone hungry?'

I climbed up to see a herd of sheep walking around a little lake. We went round the lake to herd them into a corner. But a trap was already set to catch the sheep and Jack or Crawe must have set it off because before I knew it they were trapped in a net above the lake. I grabbed my sword to cut through the rope but it was to thick. Jack was cutting through the rope and got it to snap. Crawe fell out into the water but Jack was still stuck. The birds quickly flew off as if they were frightened by something and so did the sheep. Something was coming, something with what sounded like very heavy footsteps.

'Jack, get out now.' I heard Crawe say as Jack also fell out of the net.

'Princess get down.' Elmont called to me. But I couldn't I stood upon that big boulder and was just paralyzed. I couldn't move.

'Sarah!' I felt Elmont's arm around my waist as he pulled me down towards him. I felt so stupid, here I was again the defenseless princess. I couldn't do anything right.

'Be very quiet' he whispered. He looked past the boulder to see something very big coming towards us. Elmont pushed me further into the gap between the boulder and the wall. It took the sheep from the lake and after that it went after Crawe. It just picked him up like it was nothing.

'Stay here.' Elmont whispered.

I wanted to reply, but no words came out of me, I could barely even move.

Honest to god I am an excellent sword fighter, but with no experience whatsoever I was just so scared that I couldn't do anything at that moment.

Elmont ran up to him and stabbed him in the foot but it was of no use. It took the both of them and walked off.
