Sorry for the late update but I am stuck up with school work and I have to do a project and all, I even barely have time for myself. But I decided to write new chapter as many of you requested me to do so.

So enough excuses for this late update, let's go back to Claire's adventure.

ENJOY!

oOOooOOooOooOOooOooOoOOOoOOoooOOOoOOOoOOooOoOOOoOO OoooOooOOoOOoOOO

Claire entered the thorn forest, which she saw quickly covered by the thorny creepers. Forest was growing at an incredible speed. Soon , Claire barely had a place to stand. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to think about a way to escape, she screamed when a thorn almost pierced her body. She suddenly remembered tink's story, the freeze moved in and how it killed the trees in autumn woods.

Freeze could do the same to thorns.

She tried using her water talent, which soon converted in to a massive freezing, cold ice. Freeze killed the magical plant, but it was re grown after few minutes. So Claire dashed through when thorns where dead and broken. Both Glitter and Spots helped her by breaking the frozen thrones.

Claire ended up falling on all fours on a cooled lava rock, which was at the end of the thorn forest. She was covered up in bruises and cuts, her hands were bleeding. But she took care of Spots whose wing got almost torn up when flying through the forest. She put pinch of blue pixie dust over his wound and wrapped a leaf bandage around it.

Glitter pointed on Claire's wounds and buzzed. He was asking why she was not taking care of her own wounds. But she shook her head. '' I have to save all pixie dust so I can go back home with my mom and you two'' she explained. '' and now we have to look for the cave of wolves, because I really can't imagine to face a dragon and beat him, even all fairies got together, we even can't face Kyoto, in Neverland'' she said to her friends, pointing at her map.

There were to ways for diamond castle, shorter one was crossing the lava river and facing the dragon and find the trap door which lead one to the coast of black lake, where one had to cross it to go to the island where the castle was situated.

And the longer way was through the wolf cave and to cross the misty mountains through the gap of Cadrahas, where it was almost possible to have a death, being caught to one of avalanches. But facing a dragon was impossible to a wee fairy.

Claire saw flames in far, where she could guess the dragon was, so she decided to walk in the opposite way, to find the cave of wolves.

She walked in narrow, steep pathway and had to climb a tall mountain, which came up on her way. She reached to the top, from where she could see nothing but mist and howling winds. Not only winds, but howls of wolves.

Claire shivered. But she reminded herself for what she had come for. For her father and for all in pixie hollow.

Three friends rested until their aching feet (wings, for two of them) felt almost frozen and Claire managed to take a short nap.

When she was awake, mist was reduced. She could see the steely pointed teeth like stones in wolf cave, which was shaped like a wolf head, was shining in dim light.
