"Blast! I thought there were unicorns here," Argost stomped his feet angrily as he and Munya stood at the edge of a forest. They had entered the Grove but were disappointed with what they found. Munya stood silently at Argost's side as he gazed out at the empty field. "That charlatan!" Argost shouted angrily.
The hum of the Saturday airship boomed over the forest minutes before it appeared above the trees. Argost smiled at the sight. "She has arrived," he told Munya.
The Saturdays exited the airship, along with Doyle carrying Guinevere. When they reached the gate, she patted his shoulder.
"I can walk, Doyle. Thank you," she smiled and he put her down gently, "Zak, I was a little older than you when I first came here. You will probably be able to see the wonders of the Grove but I want you to remember your own home or else you will wish to stay here forever," Guinevere told Zak as she stared at the invisible gate that hummed quietly like a machine, "Like I did."
"No, prob Guinevere. Don't worry about me," Zak grinned. Guinevere smiled and patted his head.
"This is the gate here. The gate and the wall are all invisible but you can only go through the gate," Guinevere explained before she passed through the invisible essence.
"So that's why we were pushed back," Drew told her husband as Zak, Fisk and Komodo disappeared through the gate. The Saturday couple followed Doyle through into the Grove.
They were grouped together in the forest that Guinevere had run through only a week ago. She stood still as the tall trees, the memories flooded back to her. She had dreaded coming back here, especially with her new family but she wanted to help the unicorns. Something was wrong and they were telling her to leave.
"I have to go find Argost," Guinevere suddenly said and Doyle grabbed her arm.
"I'm coming with you," he said sternly.
"No, we have to split up. The Grove is a huge place, he could be anywhere," Guinevere explained, avoiding his gaze by looking through the trees, "Plus, this is a family issue. I have to deal with it myself."
"I'm your knight, I have to protect you," Doyle insisted. Guinevere shook her head and pulled away.
"I'll call for help if I need it but please Doyle, this is between me and Argost," she told him as she turned to face the path through the forest.
"Zak, sweetie, if you find the unicorns, please be careful. Try to use your powers if you have to and don't push them to their limits," Drew kissed her son's forehead.
"Don't worry about us, mom," Zak smirked before he ran off with Fisk and Komodo to the left through a small path to a meadow beyond the woods.
Guinevere overheard Drew before she dashed off through the woods. Doyle watched her as she ran, angry that she didn't let him come with her.
"She probably has her reasons, Doyle," Drew patted her brother's shoulder.
"She's going to get hurt," he muttered as he walked down the mossy path with Doc and Drew.
I've been brainstorming the next couple chapters since the promise of the new episodes. I don't know whether I should wait or go ahead and write them. What do you think?
