Mountains and Storms

"C'mon we're almost there!" Oreli shouted down to Blopwobbel. The mountain was tall, by the time Oreli shouted, the sun was setting. "I'm coming." Blop shouted back. Blop reached his hand up, Oreli took it pulling him up to a small ledge. "Thanks Oreli." Blop said. "No problem." Oreli replied, a smile appearing on his sweaty face. They could see the top now, they were twenty feet away. Oreli and Blop continued climbing, Blop was trailing behind. When Oreli found a place he could stand, he would pull Blop up. Every time he did that Blop would smile. "C'mon eight more feet." Oreli said. It took them five minutes to climb the remaining distance. Both of them were panting and drenched in sweat, the sun was almost finished setting. "We did that. I can't believe we did that!" Blop whispered excitedly. "Yeah, we did that." Oreli said, both of them smiled as they watched the sun set.

They continued on, it was pitch black. Oreli had a torch, and Blop was studying a map. "Oreli, I think we're about to go into the 'Haunted' forest." Blop said, a worried tone in his voice. "Hey, we climbed a ninety-foot mountain, we can go though a forest." Oreli said putting his arm around Blop. Blop smiled. "Thanks Oreli." He said. "Anytime." Oreli said. They entered the 'Haunted' forest, it got colder every step they took. Blop shivered, still they trudged on. Sticks and leaves crunched beneath their feet. Blop stepped in an ankle-deep pit of mud, and Oreli had water drip on his head. Blop sighed and Oreli grunted, but still they walked on. Soon Oreli's torch burnt out, so they stopped to relight it. "Blop did you bring a flint and steel?" Oreli asked. "Yeah, here." Blop whispered, he extended his hand, Oreli took the flint and steel. "Thanks." Oreli said. Oreli had shined his armor before they left, but it had mud, water, and dust covering it. "Hey, stop staring." Oreli said. "Oh Um, sorry." Blop whispered. "Don't worry about it, I shouldn't have said anything." Oreli responded. They relit the torch, but it didn't last long because the rain came. "Shoot, that was a waste of time." Oreli said when the torch went out. "The forest clearing is coming up soon." Blop said. "That's great." Oreli said. Blop smiled, he was glad they had this chance, he knew he couldn't blow it.

They entered the clearing. Blopwobbel and Oreli were exhausted. "Look, a nice big tree." Blop said then he pointed at a large tree on the other side of the clearing. "Yeah, lets go we're soaked anyway." Oreli said. They ran, using all the energy they had left, to the big tree. Then they climbed it. "Thank moles we got here." Blop said. "Hey Blop, take this." Oreli said, he extended his hand. In his hand was a pink sweatshirt and sweatpants. "Extra clothes." He said. "Thanks!" Blop said eagerly, he smiled. They turned away from each other, they were both changing. Blop was tempted to look at Oreli, but didn't. "Okay I'm done." They said at the same time. "Goodnight Blop." Oreli said. "Goodnight Oreli." Blop said, then they both fell asleep.
