The forest began to grow darker, the moonlight was lighting the way for us. I wished to be home sound asleep waking up to another day of nothing. But then again I didn't. Everything was new to me from now on. Even to Moses.

I could feel the cold wind blow the side of my hair freezing my ears and cheeks. I hated the wind and cold together. Moses was still riding us away from the people in the village. It made me wonder why they were there and what they wanted from us.

I remember the specter with the colorful crystal. It was entirely strange for the fire king to be using such ice powers. But why?

"Hey, you awake?" Moses ask. "Yes." I sighed. I wanted to say more but I let him speak first.

"You know we can't go back there. It's now a danger zone to us and others." He continues to ride a little slower.

"What? No. The village is our home Moses, it's where we were born!" He sighs. And slows the horse down making it walk.

"I know ELora, it's just, there's things that you don't even know and I wish I could tell you." I suddenly let go of his waist. "What do you mean? Have you been keeping secrets from me?" I had the urge to tell him to stop the horse but I couldn't.

"ELora they are not secrets, they're stuff that you wouldn't understand." Now I'm furious and annoyed. "Stuff? Moses, you and I are the same age! Twins to be exact!" The horse walks faster at its pace. The air began to become much more lighter and clear.

"Look, I'll talk to you about this later, but on the side note we're here." He rides the horse faster as we ride a curved road. The night was cold, I hated it.

But to my right, was the scenery of waterfalls falling down into the ocean. A kingdom lights up more than I've ever seen. And there stands the castle of Aquatia. It was a very big castle my first one to see. But it felt like I've seen it once in a dream, the vibe of the new place seemed so familiar, I couldn't put my finger on it.

When we entered the town, it grew brighter and brighter, as if the night was still young.

"We need to find somewhere to sleep." Moses says as people start to look at us while riding the horse.

We approach a diner and inn, with a small stable to side to put of horse in. "We'll be back in the morning." I whisper to the horse as I rub its nose. Moses didn't hesitate to rush me to him, he was already in the inn. "Good, I'll stay mad at him until the morning then."

It was a surprising scene to me. Inside were people laughing and drinking, having a great time. But they all wore different identities. Mermaids, Deer people, fairies, feathered ones, and a centaur. Moses makes way through the crowd having the room go quiet.

"Wow tough crowd." I mumble. I reach up to him as if he didn't care to walk through them. We were the center of attention. People began to whisper, saying if we were from Vinalor or why did we come here.

See, the people of Vinalor have a purpose to leave the kingdom to another. Like Clara, she always has a purpose to go and come back to receive or deliver. Every one does. Except us.

So, these creatures know it's rare to see Vinalor citizens come in with out a purpose. Even though we ran away from home and we're  never going back. (lol)

"Well it's true what they say about Vinalorians," A jolly like lady with big eyes and rosy cheeks approaches us. And whispers, "That you're the center of attention." I looked back, everyone going back to their partying. Moses brings out his hand to greet the jolly lady. "I'm Moses and this here is my sister, ELora." I too greet her back with a handshake.
