'Where's Freyja?' Leo asked, in a deep no-nonsense voice.
'Leo, you're back' A warrior said.
'Where's Freyja?' He repeated
'She's by the cage'
Leo walked off without another word.
He stalked through the familiar forest landscape to what had been his home for over 2 months: the cage.
'Freyja!' He shouted as he stepped into the cavern. He could see 2 warriors battling it out in the wooden cage, and a group of 10, maybe 15, girls spread out across the beams.
Freyja and her counterparts stood up and looked at him, ready for battle if they needed. 'Leo. What are you doing here?' Freyja asked
'I'm here to find the truth'
'About what?'
'About why I was sent here. I know it has something to do with Chris', one of the other girls looked to the floor, her blonde hair falling over her face. 'So it's true'
'We don't know how you were sent here'
'I don't believe that!' His anger and impatience showing in his voice
'It's the truth'
'No it's not!' He took a step towards the leader. Her followers took a step towards Leo, ready for battle.
'Leo, we don't know anything, it's best if you just leave.' A group of warriors ran in behind Freyja and the other girls. Although he'd learnt many fighting techniques, he realised he was grossly out-numbered. Leo turned on his heel and with attitude walked out of the cavern. Annoyed that he'd admitted defeat, he snatched at trees on his way back.
'Leo! Leo!' he turned around to see Mist running to him. That was the girl who had dropped her head at the mention of Chris's name. 'I know something'
'What? What do you know?'
'It was Chris who sent you here'
'Are you willing to say that to the Council of Elders?' She nodded her head. She looked ashamed that she had tattled.
'Okay. Will you be safe here?' Leo asked, worried if she at harm for disclosing the information.
She nodded.
'Good. Thank you, Mist' He orbed away.
