Seri P.O.V.

"Um, what!?" Before she could reply, her brother was picking her up by the scruff and charging off. "Ballas! LET GO OF ME!"

Her brother dropped her. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR!?"

Her brother raised an eyebrow. "We're leaving. Our parents don't care about us. Or at least our mother doesn't." He paused. "Either way, we're going. So come on!"

Seri raced after her brother, but as he halted, and she smelled a scent of heather and wind, she tripped over a log and was sent tumbling, all the way down into a hill, and plunged headfirst into a giant lake.

Tinker P.O.V.

"How could you do that!? You need to find Adam and the others and bring them back right now."

I was furious. Ballas left, taking Seri with him. Because of Willow! Like what the hell! I hate to say this, but I don't want to talk to Willow for a moon. No, for three moons. Ha. Ballas and Seri should be apprentices by the time I talk to Willow again.

"Fine. Fine! But that won't change anything."

"Maybe it'll bring Ballas back, since his friends were the reason he left," I snorted. And, inside, I dearly hoped that what I'd said was was true.
