Welcome back and Enjoy. While I go enjoy dinner

Raven sat up awake. She looked around she was in a rock cave. Robin and Ilmatar were lying asleep on the other side of the cave. There was a fire in the center of the cave and a giant boulder at the entrance. She looked over at the other side of the cave to see S.O.L crouched over a boiling pot. She looked over at Raven.

"Good to see you're awake."

"Thanks, but what happened?"

"Well that wave came down hard over us. It cut the boat to pieces and threw us everywhere. I used a spell to gather all of you out of the water and then dragged you up here."

"What about them?" Raven asked pointing at Robin and Ilmatar.

"They, like you, just took a nasty knock to the head they'll be fine."

"Shouldn't we wake them?"

"Nah let them sleep they'll need it."

"Got any thing to eat?"

"Just this." She said showing Raven the pot she was stirring. It was a brown mixture with several chunky pieces of God only knows what."

"What is it?" Asked Raven

"A mixture of vegetable and roots very healthy actually."

"Better than nothing." Raven as she took the bowl and sat down and thought about the dream with Beastboy.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Next Day: Day 1

"Everyone." Stated S.O.L. "This is what we have to do so listen up." She handed everyone a map "See those mountains." She pointed to a couple of huge mountains. "That is where we need to be to get the elixir. It is 500 miles away and we only have 30 days to get there. What I have handed each of you is a map so we can always find our way. Now let us begin." And with that they began.

They hiked all day. Mostly they just looked at the scenery which consisted of dead bodies, strange bugs, half destroyed huts, dead trees and scorched earth.

8:00 P.M.

"This looks like a keen spot to camp for the night." Said Robin as he looked around. The cave was flat with a cliff right outside that over looked an old orchard and there was a narrow pass to the other side and a giant boulder blocking the other path. They quickly set up camp, eat dinner and fell asleep.

11:38 P.M.

Raven awoke with a start, she could have sworn she heard something. She looked around and saw S.O.L. wasn't in her sleeping bag. She got up and walked out of the cave. She saw S.O.L standing on the edge that over looked the old orchard.

S.O.L. saw 2 little girls chasing each other until one caught the other and they both hit the ground laughing. 2 mothers were picking apples from the trees and at the far end 3 men were sitting around a table have a drink and talking.

But the image faded and all she saw were a bunch of burnt trees and an old broken table. Raven then walked up beside her.

"Isn't it weird?" Asked S.O.L. not even looking at Raven "I never thought I'd come back here. I always felt that since I first left and even in the places I felt safest. Yet I always knew something would pull me back here."

"What do you mean by that?" Asked Raven a little confused

"I'm going to die here, one way or another; I've known that since the first day I left this place."

"That is crazy talk." Said Raven "You're not going to die here."

"Yes I will but this is not the time to talk about it." With that she walked into the cave and fell asleep

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Day 2 6:00 A.M.

Everyone was awake, and had packed up and was ready to go.

"You know if we just cut through this city here." Said Robin looking at he looked at the map. "It's called Twisted Bend. If we just move this boulder it would save us a day."

Raven sent a black aura around the rock.

"NO!" Cried S.O.L. And she pushed Raven away. "No body goes in Twisted Bend any more, no body believe me that rock is there for a reason."

Unfortunately when she had pushed Raven she had knocked loose a boulder that had started a rockslide. Everyone scattered. When the rock cleared Ilmatar and Raven were on one side and Robin and S.O.L. were on the other.

Raven and Ilmatar tried to move the rock but in the end they realized they couldn't move it.

"There is only one way around Raven." Said Ilmatar

"But you know what S.O.L. said about the city."

"It's our only way through."

"Well you have a point, I guess well have to take our chances."

Raven moved the boulder aside and they both walked into the city and whatever waited inside.

Ohh? What will happen? R&R
