Chapter 2

"So Amber, what's our mission?" Marcie asked.

"Well first there's one thing you should all know. You could very well die on this mission. But I think Richmond said that in his presentation." Amber explained. "So there's this "One Tiara" that was found in Colby in Eriador. It's evil. It brought around the Great War of 2318 of the 1st age..."

"Wait was that in 2318?" Marcie asked.

"Um yea it was." Amber replied. "anyways our mission is to throw the tiara into the fires of Mount Death, the volcano in which it was created by Lord Salmon. There are other tiara's out there, but they are not plagued by evil. This tiara is evil, and when Lord Salmon was 'killed' his spirit attached itself to the tiara and lives on inside it. Whichever of us carries it, you cannot put it on. Or his servants will find us. So we must decide, which of us is the strongest and can carry such a burden?" She concluded. Rachel giggled.

"I think that is the most serious speech you have ever given and probably ever will give!" She proclaimed.

"O yea and were suppose to stay off the roads because for some reason during the day the black riders obey the traffic rules and don't leave the road. So yeah." Amber concluded... again. Cora stepped forward, looking as if she was in a trance.

"How could something so beautiful be evil?" Cora asked.

"I dunno it just IS." Amber said tensely.

"Let me carry it. I'm a mage. I am powerful, i'll take good care of it." Cora stated. Chloe jumped in-between Cora and Amber and spread her wings out as far as they could go (which was twice her height).

"No, you are too mentally weak." Chloe stated simply.

"Are you saying I'm stupid?" Cora asked suddenly out of her trance.

"No I'm just saying you cant stand this burden." Chloe explained.

"I dunno I just listen to Chloe, she's the smart one." Rachel said sounding like a huge slacker, which she kinda was. Marcie was getting bored with this conversation. Although she did like to get to know everyone! Now if only Warren was here, life would be so much better.

"Chloe, you're an angel aren't you?" Amber asked.

"No, not anymore. I was banished." Chloe said.

"Well were you banished for being evil?" Marcie asked.

"No no no!" Chloe said, taken aback.

"Well then I say you carry the tiara!" Rachel stated. Cora glared at both Rachel and Chloe, her famous, evil glare.

"Uh, thanks, I guess." Chloe said, surprised. She took the tiara from Amber and put it in her front jeans pocket.

"Ok onward!" Amber cheerfully said. Then her smile slowly faded. "wait, how do we get there?"

"Ummmmmmmm..."

"I think we should go back and find Warren, I'm sure he knows how to get there!" Marcie buzzed in Amber's ear.

"Who's Warren?" Rachel asked confused.

"Marcie's boyfriend." Cora responded.

"Marcie has a boyfriend?" Rachel said, and in response got a bunch of surprised stares. "I was just wondering! I wasn't being sarcastic or anything!"

"Yea he's a giant." Cora said.

"A giant?" Amber questioned. Tried to keep a straight face and failed miserably and burst out laughing, soon followed by Rachel.

"Isn't he like, kinda big for you?" Chloe said trying to keep a straight face.

"His heart is as big as mine, that's all that matters!" Marcie said, getting embarrassed.

"It's... okay... i'm very... happy... for you!..." Rachel said between attacks of laughter.

"Thanks guys!" Marcie said, feeling like she now had the best friends in the world.

"So where do we go?" Amber asked once again.

"We could go to this motel place i've heard of. They'd be able to point us in the right direction I'm sure! It's called the "Bounding Mustang" and it's also a bar!" Rachel exclaimed. Suddenly, she got very serious and said "well, if you guys want to that is."

"I'm all for it!" Amber said. "What about you guys?" She asked Cora, Chloe and Marcie.

"Sure if you want to." They all said, more or less. And with that all five turned and ran in the direction of the bounding mustang. Hoping that the black riders wouldn't find them. Or and English in that matter.

When they came to the town, they quickly went into the bounding mustang, since it was raining. They all decided that Amber could talk to the dude so nobody else had to.

"Do you have a room available?" She asked.

"Sure do. Here you go." He handed her a key and wrote the room down on a piece of paper so as not to forget that room was taken.

"Thank you!" Amber said.

"You're too polite." Rachel said under her breathe.

"I heard that..." Amber said.

"I'm goin for a drink!" Marcie said and floated off to the bar.

"I'm ahead of her. Check this out guys!" Amber pulled 4 pints of beers out from under her... shirt? Handed one to each of them.

"Thanks." Chloe said. Cora sent vines out of her hands to a pint and pulled it over to her. After about an hour of nervous conversation, with Cora practicing magic under the table and Amber getting drunk, Rachel pointed out something.

"That man in the black cloak over there has been watching us the whole time..." She observed. She had keen senses, but not much for confidence. It took her an hour to say something cuz she was afraid she'd be wrong.

"O yea I see. Excuse me!" Chloe called out to the waiter. "Whose that man over there?" The waiter looked over and thought for a second.

"That there man is a human. A ranger. Much like your friend here." He pointed at Rachel. Rachel was trying to decide if that was a bad thing or a good thing.

"I don't know his name, but he's called Strider." He whispered. "We don't know what he's up to." He said.

"is he trustworthy?" Amber asked.

"I dunno, I suppose." He said. "Thank you!" Amber yelled.

"Hey guys lets get out of here he scares me." Cora said.

"I'm all for it!" Rachel said.

"me too, lets go!" Chloe said. The four ran out the door and down the street. Suddenly Amber stopped.

"Hey guys I feel like were forgetting something!" Amber exclaimed.

After a minute of awkward silence Chloe made a gasping noise. "What?" Rachel asked. "Marcie!" Chloe said. "O NO!" Cora said sent vines all the way back and pulled a drunken, laughing, crazy Marcie back by the wing where she instantly fell and collapsed on the ground. She can't drink as much cuz she's smaller then everyone else.

"Hey Amber, what was it you said about roads?" Rachel asked.

"Ah crap!" Amber yelled as a strong gust of wind came at them from down the road.
