Chapter 5:
Nostarion saw the little hut holding the two old women who were still bickering. He smiled as he rode up to them and stopped. Sunchaser lay down so he could climb off. The other followed his lead and followed him to where the old woman stood. Slowly they topped fighting and looked to the elf.
"Hello again," the chubby happy looking one said, "What can we do for ya?"
"Well we are looking for the gateway to the Sunset Lake," the man said looking from the chubby old woman to the saggy looking one.
"Well I do I do," the cheerfully plump one said clapping her hands together as a huge smile invaded her aged face.
"Really where is it?" he said looking back to his companions. She thought a moment looking to the elf and his friends.
"That way, through the lake of terror… dreaded place though, you would not want to find yourself there," the other lady said shaking her head no.
"Well we must, you see she must find her parents, in the Forgotten Fields," Finn said still sitting on top of Rednal.
"Well if you insist then why not, I will take you, but you should get some rest tonight, no sense in taking a sleeping girl to a place where to dream is your worst nightmare," the cheerfully plump old lady said opening the door for them to come in.

Arianna rolled around a little, when she had awaken she noticed everyone sleeping by a fire she didnt remember. Everyone was sleeping so peacefully, except Nostorian. She sat up rubbing her head as she looked to the elven prince.
"Did you save me?" she asked her hand still on her head, the last thing I remember was being laid in a pool of water in your arms.
"You don't sound like you hate me anymore," he said staring into the fire.
"I NEVER HATED YOU, I just I worry a lot, I have trust issues you could say," she said still looking at him. Why wasnt he looking at her? Did she do something wrong? Was he even listening?
"You have no reason to fear me," he said turning his head towards her, "all I have ever done was try and help you my lady."
"Well," she said not sure how to answer that as he turned his head, "how was I?"
"You should get your sleep my lady, you had a hard day," he said coldly, Arianna didnt argue with him, she lay back down and fell asleep.

Morning came and with it the sounds of soft chirps from the birds outside. Arianna was the last one to awaken. Everyone was packing and humming cheerfully. She looked at the two old ladies, one you'd see in a bakery, and the other one looked like a witch. She tried to ignore them as she got ready and climbed on top of Sunchaser.
Good morning my lady, Sunchaser said as he stood waiting for the others to mount. They all looked in suspicion as the old lady climbed on a weird creature, it was taller then the unicorns, with pale gray skin, and long ivory things coming out from its mouth (looks like a short elephant). The creature stood up and they followed it while looking at each other. The witch looking one stayed, she couldn't abandon their post. They followed her for hours until the small forest turned into a murky swamp, they could hear noises they couldn't explain, and here and there would see yellow, red, and black pairs of eyes looking up from the murky swamps at them, through the trees, under the grass watching them.

So if you got any ideas ANY MONSTERS I CAN USE please share, give me a name for a monster, and a description, and the glory will be yours, I will post the name of who gave me the idea, and we can do it as a little game!
