Author: I won't be able to update to much, school's started and I'm gonna get tons of homework soon so I'm gonna be taking a while to update. Thanks for the input everyone, I appreciate it. I'll try to keep the language down just so you won't tell ma, kay sis?(Sounds kinda pathetic, I know, but if I let her tell my parents I won't be able to update anything at all so…) And by the way sis, that's why they have ratings at Fanfiction.
"Is it just me, or have we been here before?" Yonka asked quietly, letting only Carthrandour hear her.
"I agree, this place does look familiar. Yep, there's our footsteps, on the other side of the rivulet. I think we're going in the right way considering the heavy amount of spiritual enemies we've seen. Let's just keep following the path, that's my suggestion." Carthrandour replied, looking around.
"Well, it's gotten us this far, why not." Yonka agreed, her head hanging low from lack of sleep.
"You look tired, actually, we all look tired! Come on, let's camp here for the night. Whaddya say guys?" Carthrandour asked, standing in front of a decently sized clearing.
"Sounds good to me!" Detherion said enthusiastically.
"Good idea Carthrandour." Ledria said groggily.
"For once, a good idea has been given that isn't mine. Not to insult any of you, you're all really smart, but when it comes to the idea department, not so much. Still, I'd like to rest. Come on, let's set up camp." Yonka agreed, looking up suddenly. The four travelers set up camp in around half an hour, asleep as soon as their heads hit their pillows.
Morning came slowly, Carthrandour waking first. It couldn't have been later then 6:00AM judging by the sun. "Ah, what a nap. Huh, everyone else's still sleeping. Maybe the smell of some eggs will wake them up." He said, opening his pack to the cushiony part, pulling out the small, foam carton of eggs, as well as a frying pan. He took twigs and brush for kindling, ignited it with a small fireball, and began to make breakfast.
"Something smells good, what's cooking?" Ledria said as she walked out of the tent.
"Shh! Everyone's sleeping! And for breakfast, we have fried eggs. You've got pretty good timing, the first batch is ready. You know my rule: first come, first served." Carthrandour replied, handing her a plate of eggs and her canteen.
A couple minutes after everyone finished eating, the air above them became strangely purple, like there was some sort of pollen falling from the trees. "This doesn't look too god guys, maybe we should get back in the tent." Ledria said in a shaky voice.
"No, that won't help. Even breathing this stuff in will turn you into a tree. I heard the local bards singing about it in Biliban. Project your Psynergy around yourselves like a dome, don't let any of the dust come in contact of any kind!" Detherion said, casting the Psynergy he suggested to everyone else.
"Another good idea! What is with you guys today? Course, that last one was obvious. That's not the point however." Yonka said, way ahead of Detherion, her shield already up.
"I'm not sure what's going on but I'm gonna get some offensive Psynergies up." Carthrandour said, his shield of blackness enshrouding him. He looked around, watching as a flaming barrier surrounded Detherion and a strange, bluish sheen covered Ledria.
"How come mine's so different from you guys' shields? Did I do it wrong?" Ledria said, worried.
"Well, it's working. As long as it works, what does it matter?" Detherion said, reassuring her.
"Yeah, it is working. Alright, I'm fine." She said, her peaceful mind settling back into its normal.
"So, how long is this gonna last?" Detherion said, already getting bored.
"Dunno. I wonder if we can walk while using this Psynergy." Carthrandour said, slowly moving his foot to the edge of the dome. "I'm positive Ledria can, her shield shaped itself to her body so…"
"I can move around. You guys should be able to as well." Detherion said as he was crossing the nearby river.
"Woulda been better if you had told us this sooner you know. Oh well, let's make camp. We can combine our energies to create a lasting dome around the campsite so we can sleep safely." Carthrandour said, looking around for a good spot. "Or maybe we won't have to make the dome." He added as the sparkles stopped falling. "I say we make the dome, just in case. What do you guys think?"
"Yes, we should."
