"Herbs! Finally!" Stealth picks up some herbs that are growing below an apple tree. "I can't believe it! I finally found one!"
"Good for you." Elora said, still looking around. "I can't even find a single forest lamb!"
"And the worst part is, you hate killing animals."
"Yeaaah, never gonna get used to it."
...
"Are you 2 done yet?" They turn around to see Stealth's mother, smiling at them. "I have a good surprise for both of you."
"Mom? You shouldn't be walking alone on the woods!" The elf runs to her. "But, now that you're here, what's this 'good surprise' you're talking about?"
"Come home and I'll tell you."
"Can't wait for our meat!" Flame said. Then, Argus gives each of them edible plants. "Well, I guess plants can still work."
"It has only been 2 days since we left our home, but I'm already used to it." Spyro said as he ate a leaf. "After all, this IS our home, now."
"I'm trying my best not to be picky, but..." Suddenly, Malefor spits out all of his food. "Sorry... They left bad tastes in my tongue..."
"It's pretty easy to get used to it. You just gotta be grateful and imagine the other creatures that are suffering from the lack of food." The older dragon took a bite again. "It doesn't taste good, but not bad either."
"Eat well, all of you. You will be getting some more training after this." Ignitus walked up to them. "And then, you are going to Tall Plains to save another 2 guardians."
3 hours later.
"Woo! Can't wait to see their faces!" Meanwhile in the forest, the elf and the faun are walking together, on their way to see their friends.
"Yeah, same here." The faun smiles. "They're like my little brothers, and I hope that they're doing fine."
"And the good thing is, no apes!"
"Let's try not to keep our guards down. Don't wanna jinx it."
Suddenly, a group of apes are heard talking to each other. Not wanting to take a risk, the 2 girls immediately hide behind a tree. "That was close..." Stealth said.
"..." Elora stared at the apes. "I think we should follow them."
"What? Why?"
"They could be planning on killing Spyro and the others..." She smiles confidently. "We're not gonna let that happen. Plus, you want revenge, didn't you?"
"Count me in!"
A few moments later."Hey, Elora?" The elf said to her. "Don't you think we're kind of lost here?"
"What makes you think that?"
"Look around us..." They stopped and hide behind some bushes. "We're... In a really high place..."
"Oh..." She looks around, realizing that they're not in the forest anymore, and instead are in a different place, way above the normal ground. "My parents told me about this place before. We're at the Tall Plains."
"Tall Plains?"
"It was once a home to a tribe called the Atlawas. They once lived peaceful lives, until one day, they received a terrible fate." She scratches her head. "I still don't know what this 'terrible fate' is, as my parents also said that they only know that it's a terrible fate."
"Atlawas, huh... I hope they're not dead yet." Stealth said, frowning. "Imagine all of the children and parents that could be dead right now..."
"You're so nice, Stealth." Elora stood up, preparing to continue walking. "I have a dagger in my bag. It'll be enough to fight the apes, in case if they found out about us."
"I brought one too!" She takes out her blade. "My dad trained me to be a good assassin and gave me many weapons. I hope I can help too."
"Of course you can!"
"Who's there?!" Hearing this, they quickly hide back in the bushes. "I know you're there! Come out!"
"Prepare your weapon."
"Got it."
The 2 of them stood up, ready on their battle stances, but then drop their weapons. "Wait... What?!"
"No way... You're..."
Sorry for the short chapter!
School, as always. It's been predicted that the next chapter would be as short as this one, sorry!
