"No one really knows how the parties get to "Yes" The pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess. We just assume that it happens"

3rd Person POV

Kara sighs and rolls her shoulder as she adjusts herself on Pegasus. 

She didn't have much experience riding horses, let alone flying horses, so the 3-hour trip they had been on was killing her butt and back. 

Pegasus whinnies gaining Kara's attention, she looks up and sees a lone island just up ahead through the thick fog surrounding them. 

Kara's tired body immediately wakes up and she encourages Pegasus to go faster.

They land quickly and look around the creepy island. 

It was still pretty early in the morning and the fog was thick but Kara could see that the island was practically abandoned or at least no one who cared had lived here for a while. 

The plants were overgrown, goats and cows roamed all over the place, broken statues and pieces of armor were scattered everywhere. 

There was clearly a town of some kind here before Kara could see the remains of a temple, buildings, and columns littering the underbrush. 

Kara turns to Pegasus and says "You sure this is the right place?" clearly confused why anyone would want to live here. It was a mess. 

Pegasus nods as they both hear a woman giggling in the distance. 

They both head in the direction of the voice and look in on a clearing from behind some bushes. 

Kara moves bushes out of her way to see some Nymphs talking, giggling, and splashing each other near a small pool of water. 

It was the prettiest sight for miles. 

She was about to walk away so she doesn't disturb them but she hears a "Bahhhhh" from next to her. 

Kara backs away to see the back half of a goat who seems to be stuck in the bush so she says "What's the matter, little guy? You stuck?" while pulling the goat out of the bush to help. 

"Hey, butt out buddy!"  A small red-headed satyr says while trying to smack Kara. 

Kara yelps and pushes the satyr out of his hands. 

The satyr thuds to the ground loudly spooking the nymphs who gasp and run away. 

The satyr takes off after the girls as she yells "Girls! Stop! Stop! Come back, come back, come back. Whoa, whoa! Oh Geez!" Trying to stop one but she turns into a nymph not stopping for long before turning and chasing after the next one who turns into a tree "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" The satyr, says frustrated when she is too late, "Oh Nymphs!" 

The satyr kicks up some dirt as she walks away. 

Kara looks on with slight disgust as the satyr finally reaches her and says "What's the matter? You never seen a satyr before?"

"Uhhhh, no. Can you help us? We're looking for someone called Alexandra." 

The satyr plops down and leans against a tree as she eats some leftover grapes before saying "Call me Alex."

Kara surges forward and grabs Alex's hand as she says "Alex!" 

"Ow!" 

Kara didn't remember her own strength while shaking Alex's hand. 

"Boy, am I glad to meet you! I'm Kara." Alex finally tugs her smushed fingers out of the blonde's hand as she says "This is Pegasus" who licks the satyr.
