A/N: That's a good idea! I'll start posting who is telling the story from
now on. This chapter, it's Torlin telling the story.

As soon as Simon and I regained our strength, we started our journey. We followed the path to the elves forest, because we knew they could help us.
After we visited the elves, we would probably take one of their ponies to Bast and stay there a few days, then we would travel to Amonta, the city on the border of Ayortha, and spend a week there in the cheapest inn we could find.
I had packed a large bag of silver KJ's to pay for things we would need, but it probably wouldn't last for as long as we would need it if we stayed in an expensive inn.
It took us all of the first day to finally get directions. We stopped and talked to a fruit merchant. He and his wife let us stay with them for the first night, and when we left in the morning, they gave us some delicious fruit that would last us about three days, or until we reached the Elves Forest.
We took our time, because we could. Every night we slept under some leafy tree on the path and slept until we were fully rested. No getting up before the sun washed us with it's full warmth for us now.
Some nights, it was cold and Simon and I needed to snuggle together to keep warm, but we were happy.
When we finally reached the Elves Forest, about five o'clock on the third day, we were able to bathe in a warm spring. The female elves lent me some of their perfumed soaps and powders and a few lovely glass necklaces.
The elves lent us some of their soft leafy robes to wear while they washed our dew-drenched clothes.
They let us eat with them, and Slannen, the elf Mom had always told us about, gave us a piece of pottery by Agulen.
It was a phoenix rising from the ashes. It's feathers flamed with a fiery warmth and you could almost hear it's shriek of ecstasy at it's own rebirth. It was beautiful.
And, as we thought, the elves gave us ponies to help us on our way to Bast. One elf I had grown close too, Hirten, gave me a trinket to put on one of the beaded necklaces.
" It will protect you from an Ogres cunning, and it will bring you the protection from one spirit that promised to guide you on this quest."
Samone. Samone was a spirit and she promised to guide us if only...
If only what? Why couldn't she have finished her sentence?! Maybe Hirten's pendant will call her to us. Maybe Samone could help us.
But, what if Samone worked for Belinda?
