They traveled north for hours.
"I'm back, and I don't quite like what that pegasus did," Blakk said from behind them.
"So what?" Frina said, turning Shenol in mid-air. Behind them was a river that they planned on finding the bridge. Shenol landed.
"Good, you landed," Blakk said. "Now I don't have to shoot off her wings." Shenol snorted angrily. Blakk shot a Ghoul at her front left leg. Shenol fell, and Frina got off just in time not to be crushed by the weight of the pegasus. She examined Shenol's leg. It wasn't too bad, it wasn't broken.
"Just because Shenol can't trample you again, doesn't mean you're safe, Blakk," Frina warned. "I suggest you get out of here."
"And why would I do that?" Blakk said. Frina drew two daggers that hung from her belt. "You really think those would do well against this?" he gestured to his blaster.
"Oh, that's so sad, Blakk," Frina said. "You don't recognize these blades?" Blakk took a closer look at the daggers.
"Doesn't matter. I'll still kill you." Blakk fired another Ghoul at Frina. Frina broke into a run and dodged the slug. She threw the two daggers in the air.
"Why would you do that?" Trixie inquired. Frina dodged the Ghouls that Blakk fired with incredible ease.
"Wait for it," she said. A moment later, two flaming spears the size of the daggers shot straight a Blakk. He shot a series of Ghouls at the daggers. The Ghouls slowed them down, but did not stop them. At the last moment, he shot a Ghoul and a box surrounded him. The daggers stuck into the ice and melted it, then fell. They magically retreated to Frina.
"Where did you get those?" Blakk asked. "You can't even afford shoes!" It was then that Eli noticed that Frina was barefoot. He was astonished on how the rocky terrain didn't bother her.
"I didn't buy them you idiot, don't you know anything?" Blakk loaded his blaster and fired. Frina crossed her daggers, bouncing the Ghoul off the blades and back at Blakk. Blakk ducked just in time. He scowled and left.
"What were those magic daggers?" Kord asked.
"These are ancient daggers forged by the very first Denekk. Her power was enchanting inanimate objects. Then, a war broke out. It wasn't Blakk's war; it was between the normal people and the Denekks. In the war, all her enchanted items were destroyed, including her. The only thing that survived was the pair of daggers she had just enchanted the day before the war." Frina said. "Let's camp over there until Shenol's leg heals." She gestured to a grassy spot in the shade of some trees.
"How long will it take for her leg to heal?" Trixie asked. Frina lifted Shenol's leg and inspected it again.
"It should be healed in the morning." Frina led Shenol to the grassy spot. Shenol lay down. Eli slid his backpack and dropped it by one of the trees. The sun was setting and the five of them unrolled their sleeping bags and fell asleep.
Frina awoke to a soft muzzle nudging her cheek. She stretched and yawned.
"How's your leg?" she asked, looking at Shenol's leg. It was almost completely healed. Eli slowly woke up, then Trixie, then Kord, and finally Pronto.
"Can we go now?" Kord asked. Frina nodded and mounted Shenol. They continued going north.
"When will we get to Rasona?" Eli asked.
"We should get there day after tomorrow," Frina said.
