Letalis reached to smack Zach only for Ridley to stop her. She struggled for a moment before ceeding and Ridley released her.
They quickened their pace once more but Letalis stopped. "...dammit, something's wrong." she muttered. "Where are the deer? The Wolves?"

"That's a good thing." Zach ran passed but stopped when they wouldn't follow. "That is a good thing, right? Maybe they're sleeping."

"That is not a good thing. Course I'm the only one who goes through these forests." Letalis said. "They only disappear when they hide frm something. A storm but this is even stranger...no. There has to be something here."
"I would not be surprised." Ridley said. "Do you have any legends in Hart?"

"Yeah, that the big bad world below is nothing more than a hell itself." Zach said flatly. "Why?"

"Because I have heard of other Havens kept quiet because of the legends of monsters. Monsters that will kill all who leave the safety of the Haven. Is there anything like that here?" Ridley asked.
Just the wind rustling through the trees seemed to answer them.
"Guess we're about to find out." Letalis said.

Zach paled. "Are you kidding me? Monsters that kill anyone who tries to leave?"

"No, I'm not." Ridley replied. "In fact, I bet something must be here...something old..."
"Then we kill it." Letalis said. "Come on."

"How about we, uh...run?" Zach asked. "Seems like a very lively solution to this life-threatening problem."

"It would be grand to run from a beast and give away our position." Letalis said. "Honestly, we walk quickly and stay alert."
Ridley gave a nod and followed Letalis as they got deeper in the forest.

"My vote is on sprinting." Zach said, still making jokes.

"Fine, I'm not saving you if you're down a monster's throat. In fact, I hope you suffocate and shoke the thing to death." Letalis said.
"Is there a reason for your destructive behavior?" Ridley asked.

"Hey, aren't we a team now?" Zach said with a chuckle, before pointing at Letalis. "You would save me, don't lie."

"Nope, I'd abandon you at the first sign of danger." Letalis replied, her back turned.
"Your harsh attitude is merely a facade to keep a much bolder appearance. You hope to avoid conflict so long as people have reason to fear you, even if it is just a verbal assault." Ridley was unsurprised as Letalis' sword came right around pointing at his face.
"Hit a nerve?" he asked.
"I'll give you reason to fear me." Letalis threatened.

"You've really gotta work on that temper." Zach said with a frown.

"What'd you-" Ridley shook his head as Letalis muttered curses under her breath, continueing deeper into the forest. The terrain began to steepen, forcing them to slide down a few hills.
It was still as quiet as ever which only put Letalis on an edge sharper than swords. She was looking around at every twitch, every sway of a tree, paranoid and frustrated.
"We're getting there...this was where I saw the ocean and those islands." she added.

"You came way out here by yourself?" Zach asked. "Wow, I guess you are strong, not just talk." He laughed at that.

"I didn't come out here on purpose." Letalis admitted. "A stupid kid chased after a squirrel and I ran after. I found him knocked out near here and then...I saw the clouds part."
Ridley noticed her pace began to relax as her voice got softer.
"It was for an instant but I saw it. I saw an endless ocean bigger than the pond in the northern edge of town. The sun above made the surface glitter like diamonds. Then there were islands...greener than anything here. They were shaped strangely but I saw something flash like glass on one of the coasts...including a white sail boat like they had in the books....the outside world was open for just a moment..."

"Then people must live down there...." Zach said with some thought. "Our parents could be down there!"

"Parents?" Letalis' eyes glanced back but she was anything but hopeful. "Why would I care about that?"
"Strange...I would think any orphan would care about who sired them." Ridley said.

Zach returned with a cold glare. "Don't you think about anyone but yourself?" He said before walking ahead.
