Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'm not too consistent with this sort of stuff. XD

Green and brown blurred together as he sprinted through the forest, nose spilling blood and his left arm broken. He choked back a sob, "It's summer... why is this happening. It shouldn't be happening!" The boy collapsed against a tree, his vision fading to black.

Zoey's POV

"Bye!" I said as Nilesy stepped out the door. He waved before turning and walking off in the direction of the shore. I sighed, wishing that he had stayed longer but Nilesy had just come to check if I was ok. Not knowing what to do with myself, I decided to go for a walk to clear my head. "Maybe I should visit some friends?" I thought to myself, "Yeah... that's what I'll do." I started to head in the direction of the forest, unaware of what I was about to see...

On entering the forest, I had entertained myself be remembering my mushrooms from the old world I smiled, "Barry, my prized mushroom that I spent literally two seconds cultivating." I murmered before glancing to my right to check if anyone had seen me talking to myself. In fact, there was someone there but they didn't look as though they had seen me. Their body was a broken form slumped againt a tree. I gasped and ran over to check if they were ok. They weren't, obviously. Blood trickled from their nose and down his face (Zoey obviously figured the person was a boy) and his arm was bent at a funny angle. All in all, I could confirm that this person, who was no more than a boy, was definately NOT ok. "Oh gosh, oh gosh... what am I going to do?" The boy's eyes fluttered open and met me concerned orange ones. He groaned, "What... where... who...?" The boy struggled to get up but yelped in pain and collapsed. "Hey, hey, its ok! Don't try to move. What's your name?"

"T-toby." The boy groaned. I recognised the name. "Your Martyn's friend, aren't you? Wait... Martyn! He can help!" Toby whimpered," No-no! He can't know I'm here! Please don't tell him." I frowned, wondering why Toby seemed to be scared of his friend. "Please... Don't!" Toby said again.

"Ok. Look, can you walk?" I asked him.

"I think so."

I sat on my bed wondering who else was good with healing. "Duncan is." My brain kept reminding me, but I didn't want to ask him. I still partially blamed him for Rythian leaving. Then I thought about Toby in the other room, who freaked out whenever I mentioned Martyn. The boy needed medical attention, snd I didn't think asking Martyn would be I good idea. I sighed, standing up, picked up my flying ring, and headed for the great castle looming over the hills, right on the horizon.

Chapter four is dooooooneeee! I know that nothing happened with Rythian in this chapter but... FILLER. And this is essential to the storyline... yeah, that too.

Anyways. Hoped you enjoy and if you did, then review and like and fav!
