"I am so confused, I felt like I've known both Fidget and Ahrah forever - but how would that make any sense?" The blueish-gray female warmblood fox mumbled quietly to herself under her breath as we she followed Fidget's directions as the small orange and white Nimbat continued to lead her through the forest: while at the same time leading the young she-fox headfirst into more than a few large groups of monsters to cut down with the Blade of Abraham on their way to this so-called village was said to be located.

"Oh come on! I thought we had taken care of all of these monsters the first time we trecked through this place back when we first met Dust all those seasons ago." Tempest herd Fidget yell over the roaring wind as the young she-fox took down yet another group of those terrifying and creepy-looking creatures. Great StarClan, what on earth are these things? Cause whatever they are: they make my skin crawl and make my palms all sweetly. Tempest thought silently to herself, scowling visibly and swallowing hard in an attempt to keep herself from puking her guts out onto the already blood-soaked forest floor that they were currently walking on. as I kept attacking, over and over.

"Sheesh! When do these stupid creepy things ever quit?" I asked in frustration, as Fidget nodded in agreement.

"Finally! I thought we'ed never make it to the village." I said as I let myself relax for now. I am not comfortable killing, so that took a lot of effort and energy out of me.

As we neared the entrance, my grip on Ahrah slipped, and the sword fell out of my hand. I gave a startled yelp as the sword floated back into my hand.

"Hay, is that you Dust?" One of the guards asked as I answered politely.

"No sir, I am not Dust. My name is Tempest. It's a pleasure to meet you." I replied

"Oh, your clothes looked so much like Dust. Sorry about that." The guard said as I walked up the hillside to a small house.

"So, Fidget? Is this Gingers house?" I asked with a tilt of my head, as Fidget nodded.

Then the small Nimbat nocked on the door, and a young read haired fox was in view.

"D-Dust? Is that you?" She asked as I blinked, not knowing what to do. I was saved from embarrassment as Ahrah spoke up.

"Ginger, It appears that both the souls of Jin, and Cassius may have been tampered with, and that in turn forced them out of the Life-Thread. This is Tempest, she can't remember her real name." I blinked, "Who are Cassius and Jin?" I thought in confusion as Fidget spoke up.

"Hay, Ginger, what the crazy sword means is, we need your help." I giggled as Ginger nodded in understanding.

"Okay then, come in. I'll explain things inside." And with that, we went inside and Ginger started to explain everything.

"So, I know this may be a lot to take in but... I think that you should seek out Lady Tethys, she may be able to help way better then me." I gave a warm smile as I spoke kindly.

"Thank you very much Ginger, I appreciate the help, but we better get going." I said as we left the house. I then asked Fidget a question.

"Where exactly are we going? Can you tell me?" I asked, as the Nimbat gave an exaggerated sigh.

"Well miss smarty-paws! If you were paying attention, Ginger told us to seek out Lady Tethys. So C'mon! Let's go! I know the way, so follow me." The small Nimbat exclaimed, as she lead the way.

"You're the one with paws, Fidget. So zip it." I teased the little Nimbat as we made our way into the dark cavern.

"Ugh! Do we have to go through this place again? It's so dark and creepy." Fidget complained, as she rested to sit comfortably on my shoulder. I snickered to myself quietly as I looked up at her.

"Don't be such a scaredy-mouse! It's not that bad, are you scared of the dark is that it?" I teased, and Fidget turned her head away with a scowl on her face.

"I'm not a scaredy-mouse! Ha! I laugh at the dark!" She retorted, sticking her tung out at me playfully. I just sighed and rolled my eyes.

"So... who exactly is this Lady Tethys anyway?" I asked, as we continued on walking down the dark and winding tunnel, with the occasional group of monsters.

"Where have you been for the last few years? You seriously have no idea who Lady Tethys is?" Fidget exclaimed, staring at me with wide eyes.

"No, Fidget. I have never heard of Lady Tethys before. So could you please explain?" I asked, and the small Nimbat gave a long, drawn-out sigh before she began to explain who Lady Tethys was.
