"After I was washed away, I found myself drifting along with the water towards some rapids. The water flowed faster and faster and I noticed that I was in a river and nowhere near the temple I was supposed to be near. Like it was an illusion. I was about to faint then someone fished me out of the water. I saw that it was Fira." Shearel narrated her plight.

Michelle sat up when she heard her boyfriend's sister's name mentioned. "Fira? Is she alright? Where is she now? Is Zayn with her?"

Shearel pursed her lips. "No, I'm afraid. Fira is alone. She is happy to see me and she said she has lost everyone else. I was the first person she had seen in several hours. I have nothing with me so I camped with her for the night. Lovely night sky. I told her what happened to me and... she missed her brother a lot. And her dog. Oh, Nelli! Where is Boris? You're last seen with him."

Nelli thought for a while before replying. "Um.. I left him with Harry."

"But I saw Harry alone and he helped me rescue Liam."

"What? Oh." She sighed. "I don't know. I hope he's safe."

"I hope everyone is safe." Sherry said.

Cherie opened up a bag of chips. "I'm sure we all will. This place seemed to be contented just mixing our logic up."

Sherry agreed with her in silence. Everyone's timing felt wrong. Some had went through a night. Some didn't. All the stories do not agree with each other as well.

"At least we're not playing the Hunger games," Michelle grinned. Always the pessimist.

"Continue, Shearel." Nelli urged.

"Well, you won't believe this. In the middle of the night, we saw a guy dressed like a knight riding a white horse and waving a sword around. He saw us and came to talk to us. He was quite nice. He wanted to take us to his place then another knight appeared and they fought. Turns out the new knight was evil. He killed our knight and we ran away. Again. Forever running. And losting Fira again. The knight caught up with me and knocked me out, and here I am."

Shearel is not being very specific with her story but the rest nodded. This place is weird so they had to get used to weird, unexplainable things. Brief stories are enough.

As they passed food among themselves to share, Sherry heard a magical sound like tinklebell was near.

"What was that?" Cherie asked.

"Shh! We don't know what's that!" Michelle hushed.

Nelli gasped, "Behind you Sherry!"

Sherry whipped around and saw what was making the magical sound. A little girl, probably around the age of 3 was floating in the air. No, she was not floating. She was flying above her. The little girl has blue translucent wings behind her, large and shaped like a butterfly's, magnified to human size. Fluttering towards them, she smiled and twirled in mid-air, then gently, soft as the breeze, she landed on her feet and danced gracefully, making her way to meet them like it was a happy summer's day.

"Hi!" she finally said. Her voice sweet as strawberries. "Can I join your picnic?"

"Picnic?" Nelli smiled at her. "We're not having a picnic. We're figuring how to get out of here."

"Get out? No no, you can't get out yet, milady! It's not yet done but soon."

"My name is not Milady. It's Nelli. What is not yet done?" she protested.
