Mythical Fights Revision

Chapter 4

"Wow," I said as I looked around the tunnel. I had always imagined the elven tunnels as dark and creepy, but this was just gorgeous. The gemstones embedded in the walls gave a light glow around the tunnel. Ice was waiting there, the glow making his hair resemble fire with sparkling snow. Honestly, it was an unusual sight to behold.

"It's breathtaking isn't it." I heard the girl say behind me and looked to find that both the girl and the boy had followed us inside.

"You decided to come along?" Ice asked although he didn't sound all that surprised.

"Of course! It doesn't look like you have any weapons besides I demand to know what you need so badly that you'd come down into known danger!?" the boy asked.

Ice stayed silent for a long minute, "I can't tell you."

"You can't tell me! Why can't you tell me?" the boy asked.

I looked at Ice before turning back toward the boy and asking, "Well, who are you? What makes you think we'd answer any question when we don't even know who you two are?"

"Oh...We did forget to introduce ourselves!" the girl said, giggling a little, "I'm Invent."

The boy sighed as he mumbled, "I did forget my manners." He then said in a normal tone, "My name's Prince."

"He's the prince of our kingdom." Invent giggled.

"Your parents called a prince, Prince...Did your parents hate you?" I asked, slightly shocked.

Prince ignored me as he looked at Ice, "So, what are you doing here?"

Ice simply shook his head, "I have no obligation to answer you."

"Who are you two?" Invent asked.

"Oh! I'm Flame of the Fairy Forest." I answered, happily. Ice stared at me for a few seconds with a saddened expression on his face.

"Ice." That was all he gave as an answer before he turned and headed down the tunnel.

"Hey! Answer me! Why do you need to be down here!?" Prince snarled, chasing after him. I shared a glance with Invent as we followed them.
