Hi everyone thanks to all who reviewed it is much appreciated :) well on to chappy 2 YAY.
Chapter two
The four companions reached their destination, of Greenharbour, around mid-afternoon. They arrived to a crowded street, though Brak did not seem to know why, he warned the girls to stay close to him, as he did not want to lose them after he had just found them. The girls promised to not get lost. They pushed through the crowd of excited people of all ages.
"Mummy," said a little boy of about 8. "When is he gonna get here?"
"He'll be here soon, Izaak, stop being impatient." said his mother.
"I wonder who 'he' is?" Ally voiced all of their thoughts.
"I know," said Tash "it a royal monkey named Peaches."
"Some how I doubt it." said Brak
"Oh I wonder why there won't be a monkey," said Tapanga sarcastically with a grin.
Just at that moment a parade came round the corner. Brak explained that it was the high princes birthday, there was disgust on his voice and when the girls asked bout it he said that the High Prince had a thing for young boys. The High Prince rod in an open carriage, he had a pretty young man by his side, this was most likely his newest play thing. The girls had an instant disliking for the Prince and Tash threw a rock at him. Unfortunately the rock didn't hit its target, but the back of a innocent spectator in the crowd. Unfortunately for the man behind him, the spectator was a huge man, there were muscles on this man's muscles. And he blamed the poor man behind him for his misfortune. Ultimately a fist fight occurred.
Tapanga, Tash and Ally thought that this would be the perfect time to sneak off, as Brak was distracted. Brak had been knocked onto the ground and trampled by the crowd, who were now ignoring the parade and cheering at the fight.
"Finally we are free, to play havoc in this city." Tash said rubbing her hands together in an evil sort of way.
"Where shall we go first?" asked Tapanga.
Ally spun around on the spot with her arm out straight. Suddenly she stopped and said "that way." She was pointing to the direction opposite to where they had come from. There was an open plain with one lone tree standing in the middle of it.
"Ok then!" said Tapanga. "I'll race you to that tree."
"Right ready, set." Ally started
"Go" said Tash as she bolted towards the tree.
"Hey that's cheating Tash." Said Ally and Tapanga as they sprinted after Tash laughing.
Tapanga won the race to the tree, Ally came second and Tash came shortly after. They sat on the ground, in the shade of the tree. After they had caught their breath Tash complained that even with the head star she still came last. Tapanga and Ally just laughed. They lookedup at the tree they were sitting under and saw that it would be easy to climb, as it had many branches that grew from just above Tapanga's head, to all the way to the top. Tapanga was the first to climb onto the first branch. She helped the other two, as they were a bit too short to be able to pull themselves up onto the branch.
"Well that's it I'm not going any further up the tree." Ally announced as she clambered on to the second branch.
"Ally you chicken." Tapanga teased
"Yep and proud of it too."
Tapanga got to the forth branch before thinking it was too high to go further. Tash didn't care about heights and climbed all the way to the top, though she had a bit to trouble with the branches that were slightly out of her reach.
"Hey Ally, Tapanga." She called down to her friends. "Guess what I can see!"
"Umm. Let me think." Tapanga said smirking. "Is it a flock of wild turkeys who are chasing a bunch of people on stilts?"
"Tapanga, don't be stupid." said Ally, also smirking. " they are on one wheeled horse drawn carts."
"Well you got the horses right at least." The short blond girl answered from above. "They look like they are going on some sort of hunt. And two of the people look kind of familiar."
Tash, Tapanga and Ally peered through the leaves of the part of the tree they were on and immediately saw the people in question. The first was in the lead of the group, he had long dirty blond hair, which was tied back in a ponytail with a length of leather strapping. He was in loose fitting riding leathers, and a pair of well used boots. It was obvious that he was well built under the outfit, he was also carrying a sword in his belt. The second man was riding close behind him. He was dressed in a similar outfit as the first, he also carried a sword but his was strapped to his back. This man had dark hair that was streaked with silver. He sat in the saddle confidently and was obviously extremely skilled with his sword.
"Hey that is Damin, I would recognise hin anywhere. He was one of my favourite pets." Tapanga pointed at the blond man in the lead.
"So you are finally admitting that humans are your pets." Ally said grinning at her.
"Umm. Yeah I guess they are my pets." Tapanga said blushing.
"I can't remember the the name of the other guy." Tash said trying to think of the name.
"Umm... wasn't it like Almond or something like that?" Ally asked
"Nope that was just the name we gave him." Tapanga add in.
"Oh I remember now, his name is Almodava!" Tash exclaimed, looking very proud of herself.
