Henry

Henry watched the gray skies turn into a sunny cheerful sky. They carriage rode and Henry had gotten accustomed to the sound of the wheels and of the horses hooves. Roxanne and Michael had fallen asleep on each other but henry just looked out.

He wished that his other friends could see this, henry looked back at Roxanne and Michael, they hit a rock and both of them woke up with a start.

"Are we there yet!" Michael said.

Henry shrugged and looked back out the window,

"Well we're getting close, just have to pass that corner and we'll be there." Roxanne said smiling at henry.

Henry nodded and closed the window he looked at Roxanne.

"So what is this mark I need to get?" henry asked

"The first mark is binding you to the Order, the second is giving you the power to unlock your wings." Michael said.

Michael pulled up his sleeve and showed herny three marks. Henry looked at the crown with the wings, that one was familiar to him. The two others not so much, the second one looked like a shield with a small griffin in it, and the third was a strange swirly. Henry looked up to Michael. Michael smiled and pulled his sleeve down.

Another rock hit and soon they were on a road. Henry looked out to see houses lining the streets. Girls with fancy dresses and big hats walked with guys who had their noses in the air.

The houses were all next to each other, and practically stuck together. It reminded henry of the condos back in the area he lived in. there were kids on the streets, some younger than henry some older but they all looked just like their parents, with their noses in the air and their fancy clothes.

Henry leaned back and looked at Michael and Roxanne who were arguing about where they were going to enter.

The carriage finally stopped, and a man in a white suit opened the door. Henry was out first, Michael helped Roxanne out and soon they were standing on the foot of a giant white building.

"Here we are." Roxanne said

Henry looked at the staircase, it was bigger than he had ever seen. Giant Golden lions stood on either side of the staircase. The stones were all white except for a gold lining that ran down like a water fall, and spilled into the floor.

Roxanne and Michael were already walking up the steps. Roxanne turned to face him and motioned for him to fallow. Henry ran to catch up with them.

The building was 10 times greater than the mansion. The doors were silver and lined with different designs. They were open and it led to another room with different door ways. Men and Women walked through these doorways and disappeared.

There were rugs on the floor with men with wings blowing the clouds; the weird thing was that the clouds moved every time the men blew. Henry watched Michael and Roxanne walk on the rug; henry fallowed them and jumped over a gust of wind. He looked up to see a giant crystal chandelier hanging. There were floors higher, they circled him around him.

"Henry please keep up." Roxanne said

Henry looked and saw them at the other end of the hallway; Michael was holding the door open. Henry ran down toward them his boots smacking against the stone making the room echo. He caught up to them and Roxanne gave his a look and shook her head.
