Chapter 6
A two deer with wings of an eagle slowly walk on the big clearing.
They were going to drinking from the watering hole when suddenly Safdar, Samantha and Tatsurion reappearing in a flash of light several yards behind the pond. The both deer got scared and leaped to the forest.
"So, did you find it?" Samantha asked.
Safdar shook his head negatively, "I'm sorry to tell you, but your dowsing skills brought us in the wrong place."
"But it's all because of Titan's magic." The moth woman gained an exasperated look as pulled out her crystal pendulum. "It upsets the balance of my pendulum."
"Each mistake teaches you something new about yourself. There is no failure, remember, except in no longer trying. You has never failed us, as I know you, Samantha, will never fail us."
As Tatsurion was talking, Samantha was turning the pendulum in the light. It shined in such a way that it might reminded people of a fallen star. It's bright pink pigment reminded the one popular crystal; Rose Quarts. But it looked more, to say the least, enchanting. It had six parts with white tips that then connected together into one flat piece. The chain connected looked like those with dog tags but was as strong as leather.
"Okay, so what do I do?"
"Just try again, Samantha." The demo cast a soft look to her.
"Quiet, please, boys, I need to focus."
Samantha close your eyes and hold out her arm straight in front of her, as steady as she can.
Focus...
After that, Rose Quarts started shaking violently.
Focus... Focus...
Samantha held it tighter in her grasp as it started to hum at a low volume.
Focus... Focus... Focus...
The humming went quick and the vibrations come to a halt. The moth woman opened her fist. The crystal pendulum then turned it's brightness up a couple notches and flashed twice, spinning like compass needle.
Focus... Focus... Focus... Focus...
The crystal pendulum stopped.
Samantha allowed herself a small smile of contentment as she gazed at the crystal pendulum.
"Guys, follow me." She pocketed the crystal and took back off into the air.

Meanwhile, the man dressed in tattered gray hooded cloak who was accountable for Nox's crazy actions, observe very closely Hexside.
He was witnessed everything that Nox and the mystery trio did.
"So, this small club of perplexing ignoramuses sends its troublesome adventurers here." The weird man remarked in slight surprise before hummed thoughtfully, "Well, then I guess that means I'm need to change my tactics."
He laughed before slowly walked into the woods. "And I thought it would be boring."
