The last thing I wanted to do was walk through a deathtrap of a valley.


The last time I was in a valley like this was in Althybene getting chased by the reborn of Tairn and Temny. I force that thought down palming the daggers sheathed at my sides as I wait for more fliers to line behind us.


Mira and Brennan make their way, the two boys going to do something...who knows what while I'm with Mira. " I don't want to do this." She states bluntly making me scoff, " And you think I do?"


" I don't understand why we can't just fly above and have them climb." She mutters. " Because we need to prove ourselves, didn't she hear your kick ass speech?" Xaden sounds in my head. My eyes dart to send him a glare which he simply looks over Brennan's shoulder giving me a wink I wish I didn't feel my heart skip a beat to.


I shrug,  " Need then to trust us. I guess that means doing a multiple hour parapet."


" Let's Move!' I hear Xaden yell moving by us again leading straight away into the pass.. Here's to dying for the next several hours... 


" Don't worry, I'll just be flying up here!" Rhys chortles as his shiny white body glides seamlessly over head in showing off as he whizzes about just rubbing into everyone's faces down here. " I'll shoot you out of the sky..." I mutter back.


As we hike I notice Cat and all her friends were right behind us, all whispering, chuckling, I know doing probably as much as they can to annoy us.. except for one. She's quite small for even being a flier, tanned skin and honey colored eyes with long twists in her hair as she doesn't laugh, or barely talk.


She follows slightly behind them with her gryphon, cat and her friends gryphons who knows where... I don't see any packs on those girls either, maybe their pets carrying them? " So how long of a Trek is this?" Cat asks from behind us.


" Depends on how fast all of you can walk, not die, and take the least amount of brakes as possible." Xaden comments not bothering to look back. We trekked for the next few hours before we took a break all slumping on the narrow path, It's been easy walking so far not that we got into much elevation yet. It's a tad cooler as we walk up but still tolerable.


I sigh sliding down the cold smooth rock wiping the sweat off my brow as I unscrew my water taing a sip before setting it down happening to look over the landscape and deep cavern where we're not supposed to fall. I look for out dragons flying over head, I scan the small cliffs and openings just in case.


I feel the cold water spill all over me as I look up to see... Cat.. and a few of her friends, " Oh...shit sorry... I didn't see your water there!" She feigns earnestly as she walks past with a few of her friends snickering as she walks by Xaden 


" Not cool Cat.." That one girl said stopping as she walks from their group to me. " Here.." She takes her own water skin pouring some in mine. " Don't worry I have extra.. I drink alot of water...and brought some for Daja. Um, that's my gryphon's name. I'm Maren."


" Freya." I greet with a small smile " Thank you."
