"ASHER! ASHER!" I heard Jess before I saw her, but I saw her, I always saw her. She had purple lilacs in her brown hair, not like the crowns that everyone outside wore, and she didn't pick them from the community garden, the flowers floated around her hair, forming a natural halo. She radiated power like that, she was like sun when she was happy, she was rain when she was sad, she was weather, she was power. She ran into my room. "Asher. Asher I know where it is." She was panting. I smiled at her. "Where what is sunshine?" "Asher cut the crap. We both know this mountain is about to die and we both know the council won't do anything about it. So cut the crap. I know where it is." Storm clouds brewed outside. "You're causing a storm J." "Sorry. Anyways, I know how to do it. I know where and how to get the nectar. I know how to save them!" "Jess, I am a finder, and I haven't gotten it yet. No offense but how did you find it when you aren't a finder?" "Ash, let's go to the council and lets, lets request a journey. Me and you combined can link our powers and we can find it. We can't find it inside. We can't find it locked up. The book says you have to find it out in the world. Minions are out there. Why can't we be out there?"

"Let's call the council."

"Asher Thomas, Jess Youngstead are you crazy?! The council will not be able to comprise our two most powerful fairies! Go out in the world? HMMPH!"

"Mrs. R. we aren't fairies we're actually..."

"BOY STOP! THE MATTER IS SETTLED. THE COUNCIL RULES NO. IM VERY SORRY ASHER BUT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSURE YOU FOR A JOURNEY LIKE THIS!"

"Like what?"

"Dangerous."

I looked at Jess, and I knew it was on now. It didn't matter what the council said. We were going to find the nectar for Lady Fusion. We were going to save the entire race of nymphs.

"Yes Madam Reptilian. We understand your terms."
