Jason chuckles nervously,
"Sorry, that plan went better down in my head." He mumbles. He looks around,
"I guess we could take a bit of the vegetables, although it isn't my ideal idea of food." He says shrugging and taking a few vegetables stuffing them in his bag that he brought along.
"I could use some food, I haven't eaten all day!" Ruairi says "I think I'll take a little bit" Ruairi says as he stuffs his coat and pockets full of fresh food.

I sit down on the ground and say,
"It's nice to see that you two can finally agree on something. So where is my Grandfather?" I ask.
"Uh, that's the thing, he lives beyond the realms, in the forbidden land-" I interrupt him,
"Wait! Wait! Wait! My Grandfather lives in the forbidden land?! We-We can't go there! It-it's forbidden!" I say.
"The forbidden land, I've heard of that place, don't some people call it the Forgotten Realm?" Says Ruairi.
"Yep! And that's where we're going" he says.
"Hang on a second, who is my Grandfather?" I ask.

"He ordered me not tell you" says Jason.
"What?! Why?" I ask.
"He wants it to be a surprise! Okay?!" Says Jason.
"Oh. Um okay. I guess if I had grandson who I'd never met, I wouldn't want him to know who I am either" I say sarcastically.
"Wait! What?" Asks Ruairi.
"I was being sarcastic" I say.

"Okay, break time's over, we have to keep moving!" Says Jason. I put all my weight on one knee and slowly stand up. The three of us walk away from the farm and we keep walking until right in front of us, we see a giant dark forest looming over us. I gulp and say,
"I guess this is where we turn back" as I attempt to walk back, but Jason grabs me by the collar and says,
"We'll go through." I sigh in disagreement. As Jason takes one step toward the forest a purple rock gets thrown from the canopy and lands in front of Jason's feet. On impact, when the stone hits the ground, purple fog fills our vision and suddenly five violet soldiers in bulky purple armour surround us with their swords held threateningly.

I gasp in fright as do Ruairi and Jason.
"Who goes there? Why do you wish to enter my forest?" Asks a young woman's voice from the canopy.
"I am Louis Caruana and these are my friends Jason Ocas' and Ruairi Cuthbert-Ross."
"Ruairi?" She says. Then she leaps down from the canopy at least one hundred and twenty five feet and lands with stealth and without any injury.

She has dark olive skin, white braided hair with feathers pinned in, white milky eyes (she seems blind), pointed ears, tall and slender. Her ears are like a human's but pointed at the tips, she has blue and white markings on her skin, such as two stripes from the centre of her lips and down her chin. She is barefoot and is wearing long robes that look like their from the 13th century (central Mexico). She had a beaded necklace and all of her clothes seem to consist of feathers. She is also holding some sort of staff to support herself and to help her navigate.

She picks up the purple stone and immediately the soldiers get sucked into the stone.
"Ru! It's so good to see you!" Says Ruairi happily.
"I'd say it's good to see you too but I'm blind" she says.
"Okay, so wait! You two know each other?" I ask.
"Yes, I saved Ruairi from a swarm of ferrel fairies in this very Forrest" she informs.
"Who are you?" Asks Jason.
"I am Kanansu" she says.

"What were those purple things and the rock?" I ask curiously.
"They were nightmares. I capture dreams and nightmares with my magic dream catchers and then blend them into stones. I call them dream stones" she says while holding out a handful of glowing coloured rocks.
"Would you like one?" She asks.
"Really?! I mean thank you" I say in gratitude.

One of them is lime green, another is violet and one of them is orange.
"You two are also free to have one." She says. Immediately Ruairi and Jason run up to her and push me out of the way.
"Which one do you want?" She asks.
