"Another Travel-line!" Moaned Sky.

"We have to Sky." Autumn told Sky, rolling her eyes.

They stepped through the gate and gasped.

Two women, one with dark brown hair and the other with long bright red hair, were holding off about one hundred red eyed tigers and bears.

"Get out of here!" Said the woman with red hair.

A ball of blue light appeared on Lauren's forehead.

It grew bigger and bigger, then it separated into strands and each strand touched each animal and their eyes turned the normal color and they fell asleep.

Panting, the women sat down, tucking their swords back into their sheaths.

"Who are you?" Asked Sky.

"I'm Scathach." Scathach said. "And this is my friend Joan. As in Joan of Arc."

"You're a legend!" Cried Ivy.

"Yes," Replied Scathach wearily. "We have been trapped here and we can see the Travel-line, but we just can't get away from the animals.

"Come on let's get away from these creatures." Joan said, as the creatures stirred.

Scathach muttered, "I hate travel-lines!" They appeared at the bottom of a very, very, very icy mountain.

"Are we supposed to climb it?" Wondered Ivy.

"Yes!" Replied Scathach exhilarated.

Amber climbed two feet and slid back down.

"Scathach, this is about two miles to the peak." Sky said.

"Still, you're not finding the crystal without her." Said Scathach definitely.

"Who?" Sky questioned.

"Can't tell you!" Scatty told her smiling

Whoosh! Ice flowed from Crystal's hands making steps.

"Oh! Let me try something!" Cried Ivy.

She stretched out her hand almost like a zombie, and vines shot up and grabbed the nearest tree about ten feet up and pulled her up to the tree.

Fern did the same. Scathach and Joan climbed up the stairs along with Amber, Sky, Autumn, Summer, Hope, Crystal, and Destiny.

Summer looked back. "Lauren, are you coming?" Asked Summer.

"Yes"

An eagle zoomed down, picked up Lauren and flew up halfway.

They climbed and climbed, with Fern, Ivy and Lauren cheering them on from halfway up the mountain.

"How much farther?" Called Joan.

"Maybe a mile." Ivy called back.

"Ugggh!" Sky groaned. "How do we get down the mountain?"

"We slide!" Said Scathach.

"What!?" Cried Sky indignantly.

"Yup!" Scathach said. "I love a good adventure."

"Do your adventures involve sliding down a mountain-wait scratch that, sliding down an icy mountain!?" Sky retorted.

"Yes, well sometimes worse." Scathach grinned. "Though, they're all really fun."

"Well it looks like we have a different standard of fun!" Sky turned away.

"Half a mile" Announced Fern, from three-quarters up the mountain.

Crystal ,who was still creating steps, was about halfway up the mountain.

Lauren, Fern, and Ivy joined them on the steps.

"Still, what if we crash into a tree?" Sky started the argument again.

"You're not going to crash into a tree because to the right of us is a tree free slop." Scathach pointed out.

"But it's steep-!" Started Sky.

"We're here." Announced Scathach lifting up her nose.

"Hello Shadow, long time no see. A woman stepped out of the shadows. "You have not changed Warrior Maid."
