He turned away, and continued climbing up. Rose stood there, shocked, and slightly hurt by his words. So, she carefully climbed back down, which only took three blocks. She looked back up and couldn't see him, then turned her head to the direction they came from. The large-tree forest was now small and on the horizon, the foothills were no longer to be seen.

She turned her head back, a lot of thoughts crossed her mind about what Caden said. She didn't mean to hit a nerve or upset him. He probably he a lot more stress than he was showing. He probably missed his friends and family, too, and was anxious to find his way home. But at the same time, who was he to boss her around, and then snap? He may have some experience in fighting and knows how to build, but Rose knew she was her own person.

'This is how our kind and gracious Lord created me, and all other beings and creatures.'

And then she thought.

'Well, I can't let his word get to me anyway. And besides, people have spoken that way to me in the past. Once emotional scars are now just distant memories. But I am getting tired of it, though."

Just then Rose bumped into something. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked up, and found she walked right into a tree. She realized that she had been walking. Rose took a few steps back, and found that it wasn't just one tree. There was a whole group of trees, not a forest, but it was thick and it stretched from one part of the mountain to the next mountain that was right close.

And that was when she heard the noise, the sound of something heavy, something fast and in the many. And so, Rose walked into the strange forest. And once she came to the other side, she was greeted by a surprising sight.

A lake, wide, deep, and sparkling. The source of the sound came from a waterfall from the mountain. And there were flowers, flowers everywhere. Of all shapes and sizes and different sweet aromas. She found herself standing in a bed of flowers. She heard a different sound, and looked a across the lake, and found, horses. Yes, she counted and found there were seven. All in different colors of white, grey, brown, and black.

It was truly an amazing sight, and suddenly all of her stress and worries have left. To where, she didn't know, but it felt so relieving. And then, she heard another sound.

"Rose!"

And then just like that, Rose snapped right back into reality. Caden. She made her way through the trees, and out into the open, she looked aroind for Caden, until she spotted him sitting on a block On the ground.

That was when she saw the blood, blood dripping from his hands that was covering his nose. At the sight of it, Rose ran right to him.

"Oh my God Caden what's wrong?"

"Uh-"

Caden stumbled on his words, Rose took him by the arm, and then brought him through the trees and had him sit on his knees next to the lake. Rose took out a cloth, soaked it with the lake water, and looked to Caden.

"Okay, where is it?"

Slowly, Caden put his hands down, revealing a blood covered, bleeding nose. Rose carefully put the cloth on his nose, and when it was covered mostly in blood, she'd soak it in water and continue cleaning his nose. As she did, Caden tried to speak.

"I dink I boke by dose."

Once Rose cleansed Cadens nose, she took the cloth and used it to clean his hands. She took out another cloth for Caden to clog his nose and stop the bleeding, but Caden gently took it, saying.

"Net be date dat."

And then Caden turned his head and blew into it. He turned and said.

"There, better."

"Caden, what happened?"

Caden looked surprised and embarrassed at the question.

"Kinda stupid, while I was up there, there was a Llama. And i was behind it, I spooked it, and it kicked me in the face."

"Oh goodness."

"Yeah, listen, Rose. Um... I want to apologize for my outburst, I didn't reallt mean to say those things."

"That's okay, Caden. I know you didn't mean it. Dont worry."

"And uh... I wanted to say, thank you. You know, for fimding me, and saving me."

At that, Rose blushed.

"Of course. No problem."
