Krish woke up abruptly, every muscle aching from being tied up in the cave. He hazily looked around, not recognizing where he was.
Krish looked down. He was on a small hay bed, with a soft, hand-stitched blanket. He slowly tried to get up, but a sharp pain in his back made him give up.
He slowly lowered himself back down and tried to call for help. He made a weak attempt to shout, only managing a loud whisper.
A girl with long, jet black hair, and a shy smile appeared. But the most unusual part about the girl was that the girl had two different colored eyes. One was green, and one was blue.
She slowly made her way over to him. "My name is Moonflower, what is yours?"
Krish tried to get up, but she pushed him down. "You are probably tired from what happened over at the cave. Your back was pretty bruised so I put a little bit of, umm, medicine on it."
She smiled nervously, as if hiding something from him. The smile suddenly vanished from her face and was replaced with a grim expression.
"I have to go now to take care of something... um... now so... bye...," she mumbled under her breath.
Krish replied, "The name is Krish, but could you tell me where the heck I am?!"
"You are in the Forest of Shadows. You are in a small hut, but it is comfy, might I ask where you came from?"
Krish fidgeted uncomfortably. Moonflower bowed respectfully and said, "Now please excuse me, I need to attend to something, you can tell me later."
With that, she gave one last smile to him and disappeared to do whatever she had to do.
Krish sighed and thought to himself, How did I wind up here and what is the girl called Moonflower doing here? Is this her home? Are there others here? But the most depressing question was Where is my home?
The thoughts swirled around in his head, making his brain hurt. He decided to close his eyes and just rest for a while. He had probably been through a lot and needed much rest.
Moonflower walked into Evanya's room, hoping to see Evanya. Something was glistening under the bed, and Moonflower picked it up.
It was a book called, The Gods of Anthrio. It had tons of beautiful pictures, with golden letters explaining each one. She read through some parts, about who the Gods of Anthrio were, and their past.
But the most interesting thing about it was the prophecy. It was said that a prophecy was made by the gods eons ago, and if one completed the prophecy they would be free from Chaos.
But the page was ripped out, and it revealed one word, Chaos. Evanya stepped in quietly, and sneaked behind Moonflower.
Evanya put up her hand and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Suddenly Moonflower felt hot. Very hot. Her skin was warm, her heart beating quickly. Evanya was behind her, groaning with effort.
Moonflower tried to stop it, but her blood got warmer and warmer until she thought she would explode.
Suddenly, she was flying off the ground and into the deep forest. Evanya set her down near a tree. "Just, let me explain," Evanya whispered.
Moonflower felt her body cool down. But anger boiled inside her. Moonflower was yelling, "What was that for? I felt as though I would blow up!"
Evanya put her hand over her mouth. She looked into Moonflower's eyes, and Moonflower swore she could see pain in her eyes.
Moonflower settled down and sat against the tree trunk. "So, would you mind explaining what is going on?", Moonflower asked. Moonflower was mad at Evanya, for many things.
