The night was freezing. Wind was whipping around their sleeping bags
(which is what they were sleeping in when they woke up in the desert), and
the fire kept blowing out. Geo was sound asleep and probably didn't even
notice the temperature change. Dayna grabbed the edges of her bad and
pulled them above her head. They had lost Kurama a few hours ago, but she
knew they were heading due north. She curled up in a ball and yanked the
sleeping bag, further around her. Shivering, she fell asleep.
One last day.. just one last day. Dayna was exhausted, Kylala had passed out more than once, and Geo was dragging excruciatingly slow. They finally came to a clearing with a small creek flowing through. "Thank God the water here isn't polluted like home." Dayna was out of breath and Kylala had already bounded over and was lapping it up. Geo laughed as Kylala splashed him, while darting after several fish. Dayna was filling up her water can, when she herd a noise, her elvin ears perked up. She quickly pulled out an arrow, and strung it in her bow. Geo and Kylala were still making noise, only she was aware. Three figures jumped out of the brush, swords ready. They charged, screaming several different battle cries. One in elvin, and the other two were indecipherable. Dayna braced herself, ready for action. The elf slashed through her arrow, and was close enough to strike. His sword sliced through the air, whistling as it flew. Dayna jumped, and barely dodged it. The dwarf attacked from behind at that precise moment. As his ax sliced down, he hit something. Screaming mixed with crackling, and a blue force field suddenly formed around Dayna. The dwarf, elf, and small creature, were all thrown backwards. Dayna blinked and noticed that Kylala was cowering in the shadows and Geo was standing with a horrified look, sword in his right hand. "Hold!" A voice shouted. It was kinda late. Dayna smiled slightly, as Kurama stepped out of the forest. They all sat down to a nice bowl of rabbit stew. "So this is the lost princess of twilight huh?" Tnass, the kinder, said in a chippery voice. Dayna blinked, and the elf nodded. "Yep, or so I believe. She's the keeper anyway." Kurama smiled to Dayna, knowing she didn't understand what they were going on about. "Ramineous, hand our princess some more stew, she's still hungry." The elf did as directed, it was easy to see that Kurama was the leader. Tarkin, the dwarf, grumbled, and glared at Kylala, who was begging. Dayna cracked up, almost sending her stew flying. Dayna suddenly sat up. Across from her, Ramineous did the same. Kurama turned around to face the forest, shrugging, he twisted back, and finished his bowl. A light figure stepped out of the shadow, flashing a grin. "Welcome back Lumina, guardian of light." The tall figure bowed. Lumina was dressed all in white. He was obviously a wizard with strong power. "Ahhh I see you found her, welcome back Goddaughter." Dayna's face froze. "BACK!?! GODDAUGHTER?????!!!?????" She blinked. Could I be hearing this man right? Did he know my mother? "I HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE! I KNEW IT!" Everyone stared at her. Geo had fallen backwards off his log. She just couldn't believe he KNEW her.
