Chapter 5: Moonhaven

I forgot how beautiful Moonhaven was. The big rock, surrounded by green and the leafmen guarding every entrance, and the sunlight surrounding every angle.

We landed in front of the big rock. Nod hop down of the bird and held both arms up so he could pull me down. I put both arms on his shoulders and he put his in my waist and put me down. We look at each other for like 10 seconds and we both look another way. I wanted to be alone with him, to talk to him and hang out or whatever. Ronin started walking toward us.

" We are going to introduce you to the Queen. Then a leafmen will take you to your room. Don't worry we already have clothes for you in the room." Ronin said. He led the way to where I guess is the Queen's house, but it turn out to be more than that. My eyes widen at the sight of the beautiful garden. It was like a garden but with a roof of flower petals. In every side of the garden was grass. Tall ,but elegant looking grass. In the middle where like hundreds of flower, making some kind of roof. The flowers petals were violet and beautiful. Just out of nowhere the Queen appears along with a women who I think must be her mother. Ronin, Nod, Grub and Mub bow to her. I was the last one to bow. Ronin stand up and so did I.

" Your majesty, we did as you tell us and we brought here M.K., one of your protectors and guardian." Ronin said. The Queen look at me and gave me a wide smile, to wide. I smile back.

" Oh goody, so that means that I'm safe while you battle the boggans" The Queen said, excited. I felt bad for her. Been so young and already in danger. I think she thought that been protected mean no danger to her, which it wasn't.

" Well, from been attacked by the boggans, but don't worry will keep fighting until we figured out the boggans plan" Ronin assured. The Queen look frighten, but she kept her up.

" Very well, now M.K. I'm so glad you're here and that you left your home just so you can help us. You don't know how that means to me." The Queen said. I could see her eyes sparkle, like she wanted to cry, but of happiness. Just by seen her made me wanna cry too.

" 'Many leaves, one tree' right" I said. At this the Queen eyes widen with amused. I'm sure if she could, she'll run toward me and give me a hug. I wanted o give her one too. I mean all she is going through at such a young age.

" Well I guess were done here. I'll send you a leafmen so he can show you to your room. See you tomorrow " The Queen said , like we where gonna have a play date or something.

" See you tomorrow too, your majesty" I said.

" Oh please call me Jinny." The Queen said. What a pretty and curious name? I think Jinny was really excited to have a girl in the palace that she could hang with.

" Well, see you tomorrow, Jinny" I said, I gave her a wide smile and she gave me an even wider one.

" Good bye, your majesty" Ronin said and bow. Then Nod, Grub and Mub did the same.

" Good bye" Queen Jinny said. Then we all turn around and walk outside. The sun was till up. Once we got outside a leafmen approach to me.

" Excuse me, but I'm here to take you to your room. Queen's orders." The leafmen said. From the corner of eye I could see Mub give the leafmen a nasty look. I gave Nod I quit look and saw that he was trying not to complain.

" Oh right, well..." I turn around to face them all." I'll see you guys later" I said.

" Of course we will , baby girl" Mub said and winked at me. It made laugh a little, but I think Mub didn't know why exactly cause he gave Nod an take-that-loser look.

" Don't worry, we'll be here and if you need any help , just ask" Ronin said. I think he was happy to see me, cause every time I look at him he gives me a good old smile.

" Well, I will just, umm... I'll be here if you need me" Nod said while rubbing the back of his neck.

" Thanks " I said. I gave him a sweet smile and he gave me my favorite smile. " See you later" I wave at him and turn around to where the leafmen was.

" Ready?" The leafmen asked.

" Ready" I said. I follow him. We pass the entrance to where Queen Jinny was, we pass what i think must be the place where the pod bloomed. He keep going then I noticed some stairs , they look like spiral stairs, that's when I noticed that the stairs surrounded the big rock , up up up it go. It was dizzy climbing the stairs, the stairs where spiral so we were climbing in circles. Then what i think was the third floor ,I saw an entrance covered with vines. The leafmen walk through then, and so did I. I saw two doors on each side, it wasn't that big the hall was really small. He open the second door to the right and led me in. My eyes widen went I look around me. It was so beautiful, well everything here was beautiful. The bed was an open flower, it look really comfortable. At my right was a tiny closet, the doors were made of leaves. At the right side of the bed was a nightstand made of wood. In the middle was a little coffee table made of wood. On the left wall was a dresser, but no mirror. I got closer and saw a hairbrush, which I think is made of wood and something that I don't know about." Thank you so much" I said.

" Your welcome. The Queen said that you'll be eating with her. And that door leads to the bathroom" I turn and noticed a door next to the closet. A bathroom? I thought they shower on rivers and well the rest I don't know. " Oh , and one more thing. You see that bell on top of your bed" I turn and saw a flower that look like a bell. " When the Queen is in danger or needs help that bell will ring." The leafmen said.

" Oh well ok, umm thanks again" I said . I gave him a smile and he smiled back.

" Have a good day miss " He said.

" You too" I said. He smile and left. After he left and I went to the closet and open the closet doors. It was full of clothes. There were 6 long sleeves shirts, 3 made of leaves and 3 made of white rose petals, 3 pairs of pants, made of some kind of fabric, I wonder where they got it?, and 3 skirts, made of violet petals. On the floor where 5 pairs of slippers, made of leaves and petals. I took off my old clothes and put on a shirt of leaves, Some pants and some leaves slippers. Before I left, I went to check the bathroom. When I open the door, my mouth fell open. It had a sink, but it was like some kind of bowl of leaves on a stand and a some kind of teapot on the side fill with water. On the other side was a toilet made of wood, I didn't have the courage to look at it. And there was a shower, well without a shower. It had a bucket on the side fill with water, which I guess Is that you throw the water and shower with it. There was a small shelve and there it was some rose petals. I open them and saw a liquid inside it. This must be the shampoo and soap. I put them down and remember something. I looked for my jeans; search the pocket till I got it out. The little phone Dad gave me; I took pictures of my room and send them to my Dad. I put the little phone on my nightstand and went outside. When i got down, I saw Nod throwing stones to the river. I wonder what he will think of my new look. Before I could go to him I check that the coast was clear of Mub. I wanted to have some alone time with Nod, we haven't seen each other for a really long time. Mub was nowhere to be found, that was weird, but I didn't care I knew he was safe. I took a deep breath and I walk straight to where he was.
