Robin and I made our way back up the tunnel and into the moon princess home. I was secretly smiling to myself. I had never thought myself falling in love with a bandit. When my father was alive, I was always betrothed to another since birth. It was an agreement my father made with a man that he never got along with. I asked my father once why he would do that to me. He simply said to me that combining the two families would make a forever agreement of peace. I was supposed to marry this boy at age seventeen. Then my father died. A couple of weeks ago I turned seventeen, no one came to get me. I was supposed to marry him on my birthday. I suppose that when my father died, the agreement died with it.
When we reached the end of the tunnel, I was lifted from the trance my mind put me in. I walked through the door, and something was wrong. The house she lived in seemed to look more, dead. It was much darker than before in the room, almost making me jump. I tripped over something, and Robin caught me just in time, before my face met the floor.
"What's happened?" I asked.
"It seems that we have reached the third and final stage princess." Robin replied.
We had less time than I thought. I grabbed Robin and dragged him out of the tunnel, through the door and into the forest. Every tree was dead. It must have been only noon, but the sun was going down.
"Quick Robin," I said. "Were is the closest and highest mountain?"
"That's about an hour away princess." He said.
"Do it" I said.
Robin nodded and started to run, I followed him, faster than I ever thought I could go. A sudden pain fell into my leg. I stumbled and landed on the ground with a hard thud. I felt blood trickle down my neck from where my face hit when I fell. I didn't think. I didn't wait for Robin to notice. When I stood up, a hot pain went through my leg again. I didn't sit down, I just ran. At the first step, I let out a scream. Robin turned around, and gasped at my scratched up face. I didn't stop to explain, I just ran. Right past him. Eventually Robin came up behind me and started to lead again.
The next pain went through my arm. I felt tears drop from my face. What was happening? Then it hit me harder than rock hitting stone. Mother Nature was dying, and I was a small part of her, so I was dying to. This made me reach deep into my soul to find as much power as I could, and I ran. Faster than the wind could carry a leaf. I ran.
We reached the mountain within fifteen minutes instead of an hour. The mountain wasn't that tall, but tall enough to have snow on the top. When we started to climb, I climbed as fast as I could. We reached the top of the mountain within another fifteen minutes. We were making progress. When we reached the top, I grabbed a jar, and filled it up with snow.
"Were is the deepest valley?" I asked.
He pointed over the far edge of the mountain. Sure enough, there it was. Without thinking, I jumped. Robin ran over to the ledge, and sat there. He always worries. I used the power of Mother Nature, and made the tree branches catch me and lower me to the ground slowly. I grabbed the nearest rock and jumped up, making the air catch me and carry me back to Robin, who looked like he'd seen a ghost.
Without Robin's agreement, I had the air grab him too, and flew over to where the moon princess's tree house was.
"Why here?" he asked.
"Because," I said "This is where the tree of life is"
