Frost walked through the woods in silence with Trail by her side. Trail would ask her questions about the Flower Cove from time to time. Right now they were just trying to beat the rain. Thunder rumbled through the heavy dark grey clouds. Frost glanced at Trail who was limping. "You okay?" She asked breaking the silence between the two, Trail didn't look at her "I'm fine" he grumbled.

Frost pressed up against Trail's side giving a light smile. "I can see you limping I'll have the healers take care of you" she said, She felt a drip of water fall down on her muzzle. They both looked up at the drizzling sky. "Are we still in heazetica?" Trail asked, "yup" Frost said padding forward. "Why'd ask that?" She looked back at him. He shrugged padding forward to walk by her side "maybe cause the grass is green here and not the usual pink color I usually see" he said looking down at the wet grass beneath his paws.

Frost slowed to a stop in front of a tangle of black roots and vines with thorns. "Are we..here?" He asked Frost tilting his head. Frost gritted her teeth "ehhhhh..kindaaaaa.." she said nervously. I didn't tell him about this part... she thought to herself. "First we have to pass the demon roots" She said pointing to the jumble of roots that were covering the path like a barrier. "..what..?" Trail narrowed his eyes at her. "Just- follow me" Frost said opening a hole into the pile of roots then easily walking through it.

Trail gulped before following her. He lowered his ears and tried his best to keep away from the thorns, a few of them landed in his fur. "ow.." he said quietly. Frost had her ears perked and her gaze always alert, she had to make sure no demons we're gonna come and attack them. Trail finally caught up to her and padded by her side. Trail also had his ears perked and turning to every noise. Suddenly a loud screech echoed through The Demon Roots. Frost didn't look back "Run!" She told him.

They both ran as fast as they can. Trail was very confused, yet still scared. Fog sat on top of the trees and ground. The grass was a grayish color and the sky was covered in fog. Frost hurried she didn't wanna get caught once more. After that deal she made... She pushed away the thought and looked back to see a large cloud of smoke following them. "Hurry!" She nudged Trail who was trailing (heh) behind. She knew that he probably had hurt his paw since he was limping. He tried to run faster but just felt like collapsing on the ground.

Frost looked straight ahead to a stone wall. They were almost there. Her eye glowed and she made flower steps rise from the ground. Since she was a Plant Paw she had play music. "Go!" She told him, he obeyed and jumped up the flower steps and over the stone wall. Frost went up three of the four flower steps before turning. Vines hung from the gray trees which gave her an idea. The demon was close so she had to do this quickly. Her eye glowed once more and she controlled the vines to grab the demon.

The demon screeched. The thorns of the vines pierced into the Smoke demon. She narrowed her eyes making the vines squeeze the demon harder. Before she knew it the monster disappeared out of thin air. She hopped onto the stone wall then pulled the flower steps into the ground, making it seem like they weren't there.

She hopped down from the stone and stood next to Trail. "What...was that..?" He asked looking back at the wall. Frost took a few steps forward "A smoke demon, they haunt that part of the woods. That's why we have a stone wall protecting us" She said walking ahead. Trail walked slightly slower than her. Frost stopped in front a Field area that had tall grass and large flowers that seemed to be the homes of other Plant Paws. "Woah.." Trail said amused. Frost smirked "it's pretty ain't it?" She glanced at him.

"Uh-huh.." He mumbled. Frost walked through the tall grass with Trail by her side. She lowered her ears a bit at all the weird glances they were getting. She lifted her head and perked her ears and tried to ignore them. She could see the Hive Palace close by. "There it is..the Hive Palace" she told Trail stopping in front of it. The palace looked like it was hanging from a big tree, and it had glowing flower buds surrounding it. And steps that lead to the entrance.

They walked through the hallway which had many plants in the walls. Frost opened the door to the throne room for Trail. "Look who's here" Frost heard a very familiar voice, she turned around to see her sister Primrose sitting in the queen's throne who was her mother. Frost rolled her eyes walking up to her, Trail hesitated but followed. "Who's that? Your boyfriend?" Primrose teased. "What! No!" Frost said a little bit off guard "that's against the Code anyway". Primrose giggled "well you have a thing for breaking the law Frosty" she said letting her wings lie on the armrests of the throne.

"I do not! I'm very loyal unlike somebody I know, am I right Rosey?" Frost said giving her sister a smirk. Primrose's response was just an annoyed huff. "Anyway this is Trail, a Land Paw" Frost said nudging Trail forward. He just blinked at her, "Hi I'm guessing both of you are princesses?" He said unsure of what to say. Primrose stepped off the throne and looked at the Land paw. Trail gasped "you have wings!" He rushed towards her and touched one of them. "Uh yeah" Primrose said glancing at Frost. "I'm just now noticing! This is so cool! How'd get them? And when did you get them? Can I get some!?" He asked her petting the feathers on her left wing.

"I was born with them, and I'm not really sure if I can give you any" she said tucking her wings back by her side. "Oh, my lovely daughters!" A voice called to Frost and Primrose. Frost turned around to see her mother Queen Poppy. Queen Poppy had two guards by her side, she stopped and looked at Trail with a surprised expression "Well who's this?" She asked tilting her head. "This is Trail, a Land paw!" Frost said backing up behind him. "Hello Queen Poppy" He said Bowing to her. "Why are you here?" She asked. "I brought him here" she said before he could say anything, "I thought I could help him get his friend back" She said smiling nervously.

"May I ask with what?" she questioned the three. Frost glanced at Trail before speaking up ''He seemed loss and i didn't want him to catch a cold in this rainy weather'' She lied trying her best not to sound nervous. There were a few seconds of silence before the queen spoke again ''very well, Take him to your flower hut. And make sure he stays by your side'' Frost nodded eagerly ''i will!'' she lead the way out of the Hive Palace and Trail and Primrose followed.


''..and this is where your gonna sleep!'' Frost said opening the door to a bed with blue blankets and string lights across the walls. ''and that's it for the tour'' She added standing by the door. ''this house is a lot bigger than I thought '' Trail chuckled. ''it does seem that way'' Frost laughed ''welp ill let you settle in for the night, ill come wake ya when breakfast is ready'' She said cheerfully. ''okay..thanks'' Trail said with a light smile. Frost had shut the door and left Trail in the room by himself. Trails smile slowly faded into a frown, ''oh..I'm so sorry Aqua..'' He said to himself looking out one of the windows.
