Disclaimer: Not mine. I'm so sorry for not updating! I got new dogs, Chihuahuas, my great-grandfather died, my Best Friend has dragged me everywhere from my house to hers and back all the time, and I just didn't have time with homework as well! Sorry! I do read the Deltora Quest books, so you may here some familiar things. Look at my bio to see why I deleted so many stories! What's a beta?

"Where are we going?" Zahir asked as Alexas's sister, Yanue, led them through a winding, twisting trail.

"We have to get to the Portal to send you to the Land of the Triwolves, come it's not much farther now." She replied.

"Uh… 'kay." After a while, Yanue stopped abruptly. Wham! The others slammed into her, not expecting her to stop so suddenly.

"We're here." She said tonelessly. In front of them was a huge gaping hole with blue and white fire around it.

"Go into the portal. Once you go in, the only thing we can do is watch you. We can't do anything for you anymore. Neither Alexas nor I can help you for we are anchored to this land until you defeat the Triwolves. I do have one more thing before you go." Yanue held up two strange items.

"For you, Zahir, I give to you the Topaz Gauntlets. It will help you see through the lies and schemes of the monsters that live there." Zahir took the jewel-encrusted gauntlets.

"And for you, Keladry, I have the Lightstone. It will shed light and hopein the darkest of places. It will also help you flush out the Shadow Demons there. These are able to find the other if one is in dire need. It will get hotter and hotter until it will scorch anything but the wearer." Yanue handed Kel the palm-sized stone.

"With these, I bid you good luck." Kel and Zahir, holding hands, walked into the portal. Inside they heard the screaming winds around them. Dark, ghost-like things tried tearing at their hands, clothes, and faces. They fell, and then hit hard ground. That was all that either of them was able to register before blacking out.


What do you think? I'm going to really try to keep up with the story!
