A/N hullo! It is me, I am back from my lovely holiday in Ireland, which is why I am updating this story first... you might not get the relevance so I shall explain. Basically Ireland is a lovely place with lovely scenery that has inspired me, I also realise I haven't really put much description in, so I am going to try to add more! Hope you enjoy this chapter! p.s so that's what you all think about Ty is it? Well I might tell you what I originally planned for him, if you ask nicely... but I'm not sure if that will happen or if I will change that.
I woke up to find sunlight streaming through the trees of the clearing, a smoking camp-fire and... a gang of goblins surrounding us. Ah, that was what woke me up, the smell.
"Get up boy," The biggest one grunted, and I struggled to stand up and look as boyish as I could.
"You ok Kai?" Fin whispered, smiling his usually cheeky grin,
"Fine," I said, slightly sleepily, I hadn't had the best night sleep and Ty and I had talked for quite a while,
"Stop talkin', now which of you's is th' leada?" The goblin who had spoken before growled out.
"We have no leader, we are but travellers, young men out on a quest to the city to find ourselves wives," Fin said,
"That'un is too young for a wife," Another goblin grunted, flapping his large fist in my direction, "They be lying Kryag, lets take 'em prisoner, or better yet," he looked at me and swept a green tongue over his grey lips, "Let's eat 'em!"
There was achorus of agreement from the other remaining goblins, who were about a dozen in number. I looked wearily at Fin and Ty,
"Now sir, I believe you have no reason to imprison us, and eating us would be against the law, if I am correct that is," Fin said smiling steadily, and his voice was traced with a note of... something else, other than his usual tones. My eyes began to droop and I realised it was a spell. The goblins also began to sway slightly, then the smallest one dropped to the floor,
"What's th' meanin' of this, you is... you is a pixie isn't you!" Kryag shouted before he too joined his fellow goblins on the floor,
"A fairy actually, a pixie is someone with both human and fairy parentage," Fin said to the goblin,
"Quick, that spell won't last forever, get on the horses," Ty said, and we quickly weaved through the goblins to where we had left the horses, "Oh great," Our lovely horses were no longer there, although half of rope were, and even I could tell they had been sliced through.
"Er, perhaps we should run?" Fin said, but Ty and I were already darting through the trees. I had never run properly before, because I had never had the clothes to do so in, but flying past tress and jumping over falling logs was extremely exilerating. It would have been fun if the stench of goblin didn't keep getting stronger.
"Damn goblins, they may look awkward but they're bloody fast!" Ty panted as he ran beside me, suddenly something pummelled me to the ground and promptly sat on me.
"Think you can spell me do ya? Finley Greenson, th' Queen will pay 'andsomely for your capture I think!" Growled Kryag, as the goblins picked us up and slung us over their shoulders. I was being carried by a medium height goblins, who was extremely strong, this I learnt every time I tried to break away from him, and his grip became tighter.
We soon were brought out of the dark forest and loaded into what looked a little like a cage on wheels, pulled by none other than our own horses,
"You's can stay in there till we reach the Goblin City, and of course our lovaly Queen!" He walked off to the front of the wagon, leaving us with the remnants of his laughter,
"So... this isn't to good now is it?" I said sharply, "How are we meant to save Shaylee stuck in here?"
"Well, we'll get to the city quicker at least, goblins are always eager for a reward, and I'm told mines quite big," Fin said, grinning, although it didn't reach his green eyes, which looked far more worried.
"What will be your punishment?"
"Oh i'm not sure, it'll be formany invented crimes, but the real one, that there isn't a charge for, is being the new leader of the revolution."
"Oh," I said, not quite sure what to say, "I'm sorry, this is my fault,"
"Not at all," Fin said, "Bound to happen one day I suppose,"
I went to push my hair behind my ears and then remembered it wasn't there. "Am I still Kai?"
"Yes, for as long as possible," Fin said,
"You know I've been thinking, we might still be able to get out of this," Ty said, "And rescue us and your sister!"
"What? How?" I exclaimed,
"Let me think on it, for a little while longer," He wandered over to the furthest corner of the cage, staring out at the passing scenery with his shiny blue eyes.
"If anyone can think of a way to get us out of here, it's him," Fin said, "But as complicated as our situation is, no matter how great our friend is, we best give him some time!" He smiled at me, not his usual grin, but this at least seemed hopeful.
"Ok," I snuggled up next him and watched the mountains pass. It was strange, how similar this country looked to my own, and yet how different it actually was.
I must have drifted off to sleep, because the next thing I knew Fin was gently shaking me and it was dark, the sky was that dark rich blue, and was spotted with stars, although they were not the constellations I knew.
"Ty's thought of a plan!"
I quickly crawled to the centre of the cage where Ty was waiting for us, sitting cross-legged and looking eager.
"Ok, we need you to meet the Queen!" He exclaimed suddenly,
A/N well I hope you liked this chapter and if you want to find out the rest of Ty's plan please review!
