Chapter 3

Away from the Home

"Another council today" Gilden comments.

"What?!" She exclaims as Gilden laughs

"Yes and today I have news about it, the King is to proclaim your company to get the men and halflings." States Gilden

"Ahh" She replys as they go to the council no one else but them and the elf King is there.

"Alex you and Gilden shall depart to men's land!" Stated the King, Gilden smirks

"Surprise!" Gilden cheers!

"You will go now", declares the king. Alex and Gilden leave and get packs from the supply house and are handed golden clocks trimmed with green and red.

"The green trim is for the Jem and the red for the Jewel," says the elf stockman.

"Why does everyone call us that?" She whispers to Gilden as they start off.

"No clue", he replies as they walk away from our home into the unknown

"Off into the unknown!" She cheers.

"To the unknown!" He replies. They walk away as their home gets smaller behind them adventure ahead!

"Wait i got permission to come with you!" Shouts Ginger and Alex and Gilden groun.

"Go back Ginger! We are fine on our own!" Replies Gilden.

Now Ginger she's well let me say a mini Alex they came to Mistwood together but she can't handle herself in battle.

"Please Gilden!" Ginger begs.

"Ask Alex it is her expedition", he says dumping it on her, the nerve!

"No, go away Ginger!" Alex says.

"Fine!"Ginger shouts and stomps away. Alex takes out a map Shedrew and shows Gilden.

"Hmm the path follows that track but… It may not work out in the end i've heard tales of this sort of journey" states Gilden

"Whatever, it's not like I put any effort into this anyway!" Alex yells with hurt and tears the plans up and throws them behind her. Weeks pass with little event until.
