Here it is! Sorry it took so long, I added a fourth page

“Berrova? Isn’t that a fancy tropical island resort?” I asked in amazement.

Glory nodded grimly. “Is he rich?” I asked.

 “Yes. He doesn’t have parents like the rest of us, but his parents were rich and he inherited everything from them.” Glory explained. “Wait, you said nobody had parents. You mean we are all orphans?” “No, some people just ran away from home.” “Oh.”

“Well are we ready to go? I’m always ready.” “Sure, but how are we going to get there? I don’t know the way and Mystery can’t fly. I used the plane to get here.” Glory rolled her eyes at me, “I’ve been there before, and Compromise is strong. She can lift both of us, and I’m sure Mystery could use an invisibility spell or something.”

I summoned Mystery and told her the plan. She sighed when I got to the invisibility part, but she agreed to it. I was nervous about flying on Compromise, the plane ride wasn’t exactly my cup of tea, and a pegasus sounded worse. “Don’t worry, she won’t buck you off.” Glory winked at me. I let out a small nervous laugh.

“I summon thee pegasus.” Glory shouted and Compromise came out. We quickly told her the plan and she kneeled down for us to get on top of her. Then Mystery used her invisibility spell and went back into the card. Before she used it she told me that it would wear off when we got to Hildenridge. She said that she would renew the spell once we arrived there as well.

I was relieved to find out that riding on Compromise is much easier than riding on a plane, but it was weird not seeing Glory and Compromise. I kept feeling like I was going to fall straight down to Earth. “We’re almost to Hildenridge.” Compromise informed us. I noticed I could see a pale outline of her and Glory when I looked hard enough.

Compromise looked for a nice place to land that was hidden from people. It took her a while to find one, but she landed in a clearing that was surrounded by tall Redwood Trees. We quickly hopped off and ate some apples that Glory had brought along. When we were done, and the invisibility fully weared off I called out Mystery. She renewed the spell and we set off again. This time the spell would wear off a little after we reached Berrova.

This ride I was more confident about riding Compromise, until I fell off. I screamed as I fell down, down, down to the water. I tried to spread out my arms to slow my fall but it didn’t work. It was risky, but I knew what I had to do. I was high enough from the water to do it.

“I summon thee unicorn!” Mystery popped out and sure was startled to be falling in midair. “Just make me visible and go back in the card!” I yelled. “I can do better than that.” She simply stated. Suddenly I was on top of Compromise and Mystery was in her card. “Ella, is that you who bumped into me.” Glory asked. “Yes.” “I thought you fell.” “I did. I summoned Mystery and she teleported me here.” I told her.

“That explains a lot.” It didn’t explain a lot to me. Why couldn’t Mystery teleport me to Listerine before? Why didn’t she teleport us to Berrova? I had a lot of questions to ask her for when we landed. It took a while before Berrova came into our sight. Our invisibility was wearing off early, partially due to the fact of me falling off of Compromise.

When we landed I immediately summoned Mystery and I was going to give her a piece of my hidden mind.

“Mystery, I thought you said you couldn’t teleport.” I stared at her angrily. “I know. I just don’t like cheating in life. I need you to do some things on your own.” Mystery defended herself. I sighed, I knew I had lost. She had a very good reason.
