Cold Winter

chapter 5

Zee...
Zee let her catch up to her.
"Ughhhh finally!"Amber yelled.
As they continued walking they saw something in the distance.
"Whoh what is that!!"Amber said eagerly.
"what,why is there a weird arch way looking thing here?"He wondered.
"I don't know but it's kinda cool!"Amber said excited.
"Yeah yeah I think that's where we have to go."Zee said.
"Yay!"Amber cheered.
As they walked towards the archway the lava got hotter and hotter.
"Hmm ow the lavas burning me!"Amber whined.
"Shut upp!"Zee said.
Amber ran towards the Arch when he said that.
"Hey Amber what are you doing!!"Zee Yelled.
"I saw something come on hurry up!"Amber yelled back.
"Ugh!!"Zee cried before running after her.
"Holy shit you're actually a fastrunner!"Amber said surprised.
"You're just slow!"Zee said as he pasted her.
"Oh fuck you!"Amber said before speeding up.
They as they ran to the arch Zee stopped,red eliminated his face as he looked down panting.
"You tired?"Amber asked but it didn't feel like a question.
"Yeah."He said.
"Welp ok we can just walk from here."Amber said.
"Ok"he replied.
Amber grabbed his arm practically dragging him in the direction of the Archway.
As they got closer the Archway was way bigger than what they thought,the arch had a weird design on it that was spirals with some gems or crystals on them.The Arch was a nice obsidian black with red spots.
"I wonder how it was made?"Amber wondered.
"Yeah with those unique spirals..."Zee muttered.
They finally reached the archway,but something was off.
"Hmmmm so we're here now...maybe there is a hint of where the stone is."Zee muttered.
"Or you know it's those red lookin stones in the arch..."Amber said with her hand on her chin.
"Oh my god..."Zee said looking up."why would...how do we get those then."
"I don't know."Amber said as she jumped trying to reach the one closest to the ground.
"Ugh you try!!"Amber Said annoyed.
"God damn it."Zee said as he reached up."nope."
"You didn't even try!"Amber yelled.
"Ugh well I don't know!"Zee replied.
"Pick me up then I'll try!"Amber said.
"...well if you can reach it then how will you take it out."Zee asked.
"I don't know!"Amber said.
"Ugh fine!"Zee said.
Zee lifted Amber up,as he did Amber leaned on the archway trying not to fall.She just barely touched the stone she stretched out her arm trying to get ahold of it.
Finally she grabbed it and ripped it out of the arch but when she did she fell,dropping the stone smashing it into pieces.
A bright light filled Zee's vision for a few seconds and he looked at Amber.He was shocked,she looked back at him and screamed.
"OH MY GOD!"Amber screamed."You,you,you you have antlers, and and you have h-hooves!"
He looked at her speechless,she got up,two big brown eagle-like wings hung by her side.Insteed of her having ears she had feather-like ears.
"What?"Amber asked.
He just pointed to her sides,she looked behind her and she opened her mouth and screamed.
"What the hell!"She screamed loudly enough to hurt Zee's ears.
He put his hands over where his ears were meant to be but was greeted with deer-like ears.
"...holy shit..."Zee whispered under his breath.
His breathing became fast as he slowly realised what had happened.He sat down and looked at his self.
"Zee,Zee what the hell happened!"Amber screamed.
"I guess this is the curse well for us it is..."Zee said,his eyes wide with shock.
Amber also noticed that she had tail feathers and started panicking more..
