The forest outside the house was silent, but the inside of the house was a battleground for six hours straight until it finally came to an end when Jack suggested DQ to stop injuring Glyde. Not too far away from the small cottage was a wondering teenaged girl walking somewhere in the forest. She looked up at the now somewhat darkened sky and sighed. She continued to walk on and ran her fingers through her purple hair. A sudden cold gust of air came along, causing her to shiver violently. She wrapped her light purple cape around her to keep her warm, but barely did it work well. Her teeth chatter and she continued to silently walk on through the forest. She constantly looked around herself, hoping to find a house near by. She began to think about her parents and remembered when they told her that she was far too young to travel by herself and try to master the art of magic without help. 'Too young,' she bitterly thought. 'I can take care of myself without you two. I'm old enough.'
More and more cold gusts came along as she forcefully walked on through the darkened forest. She felt completely numb and hungry. "There has to be a house somewhere out here…" She whispered to herself. By coincidence, she spotted a small cottage in a clearing. She joyfully smiled and ran towards the house. "Finally!" She gasped. "A house!" She then noticed that someone was outside sitting on a chair as well. This had risen her joy and she whispered, "LIFE!" She hurried towards the cottage as fast as she could run, though it seemed that the cottage was farther than it appeared to be. 'Keep going…' She thought as she looked at her legs. 'GO!'
Glyde sat outside the cottage with ice packs strapped around him on the places where he was ruthlessly hit by DQ. "Geez….ouch…. Who would of known that a plant could hurt someone this much? Gosh, she stronger then she looks…" He rubbed the back of his head and placed an ice bag there as well. He sighed as he looked up at the star filled sky. As he stared, he smiled and looked at two blight, flickering stars. He then heard his mother's voice echo in his mind, 'That's your father waving at us from heaven Glyde. Some day Glyde, I will be with him too when I pass away…..' Glyde then heard his own voice say, 'But, won't I be alone if you die like daddy did?' His mother's voice then echoed, 'You will never be alone Glyde. We are always surrounded by spirits both and good and bad. But you, Glyde, you will always be surrounded by good spirits.' A tear trickled down Glyde's face and he sniffled. "I miss you both." He whispered. He sniffled again and took a deep breath. "It's all my fault…" He continued to gaze at the limitless space and think of his parents as he stared.
In the distance, he heard someone call out, "HEY! ARE YOU A WAKE?!" He quickly turns his head towards where he heard the voice come from. He saw a girl running quickly towards the cottage with her cape wrapped around her. Glyde wiped his tears away and stood up to greet the teenaged girl with his usual warm smile. When she finally reached the cottage, she asked, "Is this you house?" She was breathing heavily and looked exhausted from the run. Glyde smiled and said, "Yeah, you can go on in…" The purpled haired girl brightly smiled and threw her arms around the youngster. "THANK YOU!" She gasped. She released Glyde and quickly made her way inside the warm cottage. Glyde was about to make his way into the house, but the sky seemed to have caught him in a daze. He stared up at the two flickering stars silently. As he stood there, he saw that all the stars had then mysteriously disappeared from sight. His mouth slightly opens at that moment and backs away. " What the…?" Suddenly, a cold gust comes along. Through that gust, he could have sworn he heard whispers from the gust itself. "Run…. Demon…." The wind whispered. He violently shivered in total fright. Soon, the cold air had past and the grass and trees where still. He stood there, looking around himself. He then looked up at the now starless sky. Keeping his eyes up at the sky, he quietly walked into the cottage to meet the female traveler.
