Chapter 3
The journey home
Only light but the energy stone felt like a burden of weight on my body, I was so tired that the patter of one leg after another was not even sounding right, I unloaded my sword and shield and left them behind there weight was to much but I had the energy stone, that was the main thing. I had to get home by midnight or I would not be able to become the new king. It must have been around supper time I was getting hungry and the sky was just starting to turn pink. The thick forest was like a barrier of darkness from the light the only bit was from the high tree tops. No one knew what lay in forest of moon. Story's were told but were they true or not was the question. As I got farther out it got a little light but I seemed like I kept going in circles and my mind started playing games on me. Low noses were what I was hearing but they sounded like drums in the middle of a forest. Fast movement behind the trees and in the tree is what I was seeing; my heart pumping out of my chest is all I could feel as the noises keep getting loader and loader.
Unarmed and to tired to hold my own it any combat I yelled. I surrender come out. A black shape appeared in the distance, there was only one, of them. It was a girl her hair glowing like fire. She look almost to fake to be real. Holding what looked like to be a walking staff she pushed it ageist my chest and forced me to the ground to week to stand back up I just lay there watching here every move she looked puzzled. She hit her walking stick on the ground twice as if she was mad or disappointed. She then said the three words "you help me?" and this I did not know what to say and I was in need of help my self so I agreed and nodded my head. "Follow she replied" then throwing out her hand to help me up. I grabbed on and pulled my self to my feet. We started walking till we got to a tree no words where said while walking, "here" she said "enter" There was a small hole in the side of a giant tree I went in she looked both ways and closed the bark door behind us. It was a under ground town Filled with men women all like my kind but all with different hair colors. "We call our selves the Manna. We are a tribe hiding from all others, we do not believe in the war, or other conflicts like you people. We rely on peace in our town"
I stared out over the town like it was unreal, Men helping others no one screaming or yelling and war. Everyone was equal. No one was the same but no one was rated lower. Unlike our world were the fittest survive. We walked in to town there was merchants everywhere, but we walked right past them till we got to a little cottage. "Home" she said with a smile on her face. I then stopped her and asked "why am I here" she replied with a smile "we need a protector, pay will be high and we will serve you, we will only call upon you if someone is attacking our gates and getting in to our town" Everything seemed to perfect to be true. But I knew I must leave I must get home and become king. Out of now where I pecking noise and a pain in the side of my head started to happen it was unbearable then about twenty second after it started it stopped and I was fine and in the middle of the forest where I first met the girl. Was it a dream was it real? I really didn't know. The moon was just about full and I didn't know how much time I didn't have left to get out of the forest of the moon but I had to hurry I start running down the path. Minutes seemed like hours and the path seemed endless. I kept running I wasn't going to stop for anything nothing was going to slow me down my life depended on it Holding the energy stone in my right hand I kept going none stop.
