The kids met back at the Stump, with the weapons in tow. "Awesome! We have our weapons now! Nimue won't know what'll hit her!" Craig cheered, excited.

"We'll be unstoppable, we're invincible! I can't wait to show Nimue what we've got!" Kelsey added, determined.

"This will be fun" J.P. added, joyfully.

"So are we gonna stand here or are we gonna start training" Twig said, holding out a baseball bat. The Stump kids nodded and gotten ready to train, for the next few days, the kids trained for the battle they soon will participate in. Craig trained with Kelsey; they have practiced sword fighting until the sun went down! As Craig fought and trained, he started to get better and better in his sword skills.

In turn, Kelsey and Omar trained with each other in their archery skills, Kelsey had started to get the hang of using the crossbow and Omar has increased his archery skills, soon they were Archery experts.

Twig helped J.P. with his staff skills, he even started on some spells he had learned. Twig had also brought a weapon of her own: A bo staff. she helped J.P. with all the skills she knows about using a staff. Soon, the kids had excelled in their training and knew how to use their weapons, they were determined that they could beat Nimue.

After another day of training, the kids met back at the Stump. "Man, that was tiring, but we're getting stronger! I need a break" Craig exclaimed.

"You're telling me! my girl muscles are sore!" Twig panted.

"So are mines!" Kelsey sighed, tired.

"Hey, I say we go to the trading tree, get some things, and rest for the day" J.P. suggested.

"That would be great" Craig replied.

The kids went on their way to the Trading Tree, Suddenly, Craig started to feel a bit dizzy and drowsy, Omar noticed this. "C-Craig? Are you feeling alright?" Omar questioned, worried.

"I don't know...I feel...sleepy" Craig said, groggily. Craig then collapsed on the ground, much to the shock of his friends. "Craig!" Kelsey and J.P. exclaimed in shock. The kids ran towards Craig, Omar picking his body up. "He's still breathing, but he's not conscious!" He exclaimed.

"Craig! Craig are you ok?! Come on, you can pull through!" Kelsey begged.

"We have to get him home!" Twig exclaimed. The kids raced home to bring Craig home, they were also worried about him, how could he have fallen unconscious like that?

They hoped that Craig was ok.

Craig groaned as he started to wake up, he got up and looked around the landscape. Rooted on the nearest part of the creek, the outpost of Greenflower Creek is home to many people.

This outpost wasn't built by a river by accident, as it has magical properties, which is of great importance to the people of Hogsfeet and its success. The city itself looks flamboyant. With its shingle rooftops, yew wood walls and ever clear night sky, Greenflower Creek has a mystical atmosphere.

The main attraction is the beautiful creek, which was here for longer than everyone here and the castle near the town. Greenflower Creek has a flourishing economy, which is mainly supported by trade, crafting, jewel crafting, tailoring, medicine and weapon smithing. But their biggest strengths are master engineering and strong magicians.

Despite its strengths and weaknesses, Greenflower is most likely headed towards a pleasant future under the leadership of their leader. But this remains to be seen. "Where am I? How did i get here?" Craig questioned in confusion. Craig then noticed many people around the town doing their normal business, he walked around the town in curiosity.
