"Is it possible that we have not yet reached the Misthelm Forest?"

"We are on foot. We travel only as fast as our feet carry us," (Y/N) commented. "We will get there eventually. If you are this insufferable for the entire journey, I'll have to use Taehyun's needle and thread to stitch that loud mouth of yours shut."

"And if you two continue to act like children, I will have to use a spell to mature you," Taehyun called back with a quick roll of the eyes.

"No!"

Taehyun glanced back to (Y/N), his brows furrowed. He hadn't thought her to be so defensive. The look of panic on her face told him that he had said something wrong.

"I see the Forest on the horizon. We are close!" HueningKai called from slightly farther ahead.

"We must all pick up the pace. We should get there before the last light," Beomgyu told the group, quickening his pace. The others followed in step.

It had been three days and two nights since they had left the gates of Eboncross. Each night started with a protest from the prince, wishing to carry on until the sun sets, but his protest was always shut down by everyone else.

Yeonjun was now far ahead of the others, eager to reach the home of the ranger. His pace was swift as he walked through the tall grass, careful to make sure he didn't trip.

  Everyone could see the forest ahead. The Misthelm Forest was the most fascinating of those that any of the adventurers had heard of. Not only were the colours darker than those of a normal forest, but legend had been told of Ents who roamed the land. Giant trees who stood for nature, making sure that all was right in the forest. HueningKai had heard many legends of these beings. Tales like these were common where he was from. He had attempted to ask Soobin of their existence, but Soobin had brushed it off as a joke.

  The Misthelm Forest was beautiful. Although, from where the adventurers were, it was barely visible, there was still a lot to be seen. It was a brilliant dark green. Dark, yet vivid. The trees were in bunches, spread fairly evenly. The forest was well kept despite the lack of care it was given. There weren't many other things that were visible other than the rich colour of the leaves, but the other thing that they could all see was the small cottage. It seemed so out of place. The white exterior juxtaposed the deep rich green of the leaves in the forest. There was a small chimney that peeked out over the roof of straw, and out of the chimney came a dark smoke, indicating a fire on the inside. Outside this small cottage was a multitude of different colours of different types of flowers, grown in beautiful well kept patterns. The plants were perfectly taken care of.

It took them longer than expected to finally approach the door of the cottage. HueningKai stepped up, making the others move backward. He took a deep breath and lifted his hand to rap on the door. It took only a moment for the owner of the cottage to answer to those who stood on his doorstep.

"Back so soon?" He asked, opening the door. The smile on his face died as he was greeted with more than just his friend. He seemed more than surprised and none of them even had to see HueningKai's face to know how guilty he felt. "What is this."

"We're going on an adventure. We wish for you to join us," HueningKai said firmly.

The other four stood awkwardly, watching the exchange between old friends.

"I thought I already told you no. I am surprised you cannot remember such a recent exchange," The Ranger replied.

"I remember it clear as day. I still wish for you to accompany us," HueningKai told him.
