Naece ran over to the swamp; it took her about 10 hours even when running as fast as she could because she kept getting lost. Naece looked for a container and she watched the time very carefully and she only had 4 hours left until she lost the deal. She started running towards the meadow of marigolds and she tripped and fell. She could not move her arm. Naece knew it was broken so she looked around and tried to find something to bandage it temporarily. She looked at the long grass and she tried to use it but it made it hurt worse she called out to the cricket but could not be heard. She cried hopelessly thinking she would not make it. She looked at the meadow and saw the marigolds she cried out again. Nobody answered, she felt that she would die in the very place she was in. Naece started making a hole for her grave 2 minutes left. She remembered the whistle. She struggled to get it out. She finally got it out and she blew it. One minute left her arm was healed in 30 seconds. 30 seconds left she ran to the marigolds and saw the white cricket. 10 seconds left 5, 4, 3,2,1... and she ran to the cricket and gave him the water 

He looked at her in blue eyes saying, "Well done you have passed the test. I will now give you to your dad but only halfway you have to do the rest." 

Naece thanked him and appeared in the middle of the woods. She did not recognize this place; she knew the village was east so she made her own compass and followed it. She came across a clearing and saw a village. She ran to the village and saw her dad trying to run away. Noah thought he was cursed.
