Tia walks up to the boy but is taken aback.
"Hi" she says.
"Hey" he replies with a grin. She backs a step away and clumsily walks back to me.
"I have never been nervous in front of a boy," she flushes a deep red.
"Well at least now your in a relationship" I say.
"No I'm not" she replies in a monotone voice.
"He said hey! That means your in a relationship" I continue.
"What?! That means nothing" she exclaims.
"It means everything" I say calmly.
"That doesn't even make any sense!" She says.
"Listen, I'm gonna go talk to those guys" I say pointing to the boy and two other guys."Okay, but don't mention me. AT ALL!" She says sternly.
"RELAX!" I say. I walk over to the boy. He's talking to two other guys.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I say.
"Not much, who are you?" Asks the boy that Tia was nervous around.
"The name's Louis Caruana" I say trying to sound cool, being half their size.
"I'm Xander, and these are my friends, Lachlan; he makes cool knives and Liam; he's a god!" He says."Cool, do you guys-"
"Wait a second, are you Cassyon's Grandson?" Asks Liam interrupting me.
"Yes, he is" says Jason while holding Verreda in his arms.
"Louis, can you follow me?" Asks Jason.
"Sure!" I say. Jason and Verreda hold hands as they walk along. I honestly don't pay too much attention to them. My attention is looking all over the place. Looking at every house and every building. We come to a stop in front of a big bronze and wood mansion. Jason takes hold of the door knocker and knocks it for me.
"I'll leave you two on your own then" says Jason as he walks away with Verreda. I can hear someone inside the mansion walking down a stair case. I watch as the door slowly creaks. Inside is an old hobbit with a scruffy white beard and white hair. His kind eyes are surround by gaining wrinkles. He is wearing a shimmering ruby red cloak held over his shoulder by a bronze clip. He's wearing rugged brown pants and high dusty old brown leather boots."After all these years, I've finally found you" he says.
"And You are?" I ask.
"My name is Cassyon Underfoot and I'm your grandfather" he says. His voice is soft and calm.
"I know" I say in a monotone voice.
"I told Jason, It was supposed to be a surprise" continues Cassyon.
"So umm... I heard that you need my help" I say.
"Oh yes! That is why I brought you here! Umm... where was I?" He asks.
"Something about sap and trees" I say.
"Oh yeah! So the sap from the tree of life. Hang on! You should take a look at it!" He says happily.
"Come in!" He says urging me to come into his house. He leads me upstairs toward his bedroom. I start to freak out a little bit. Once we're in his bedroom, he removes the pillow from his bed and underneath it is a trap door. Cassyon grabs a handful of keys. He tries slotting a key in the trap door's key hole but it doesn't fit. He tries another key and another all failing."Umm... we're going to be here for a while" he says. After him testing at least ninety four keys (I counted) he finally manages to open the trap door. Beneath it is a ladder which leads straight down. He starts climbing down. When he's about halfway down, he yells,
"Come on!" Suddenly I jump onto the bed, lower my self through the trap door and climb down the ladder. At the bottom is a damp, dark wet cave. In the centre is the tree of life. A rainbow glowingly tree that looked like an entire galaxy."This is the tree of life. It's sap is the most powerful substance in the world!" He says.
"It can feel any mortal injury and can make any mortal immortal" he continues.
"We live in a place beyond the realms. You would probably think that the realms take up most of the world. Little do you know that the world is so much bigger. SO MUCH BIGGER!" He says.
"Out there are infinite dangers and threats that want to rule the world. If they get there hands on even one drop of this sap, we are doomed!" He says seriously.
"What dangers?" I ask.
"Orcs, Goblins, zombies, vampires, trolls, ogres, giants, entities, dark elves, dark sorcerers, ghosts, the Wogga tribe, the Maki Clan, ferrel fairies, sirens, demons as well as great many beings from other worlds!" He yells.After I take that all in,
"Okay, so where do I come in?" I ask.
"Our kingdom is estimated to be attacked within a month. In that month, you must get help. All the help you can get!" He says.
"What kind of help?" I ask.
"I want you to reunite the Order of the Griffin!" He says. I widen my eyes thinking about this task.
"How am I supposed to do that?" I ask.
"Well, the team has been split up for years. I'd imagine that they're spread across the whole four realms! For now you just need to get one member" he says.
"I'll need to talk to my friends first" I say.
"Very well!" He says.I run out of the cave, climb up the cold metal ladder, out the trap door, off the bed, down the stairs, out the door and I keep running until I eventually get to my friends.
"EVERYONE! My Grandfather has given us a new quest! We are to reunite the order of the griffin! For now, Cassyon has only asked us to get one member, so let's see, there's Sheera Eladove the elven sorceress, Bayard IronBack the dwarf warrior, Clovelia the dryad and Henry Walter," I say.
"So which one are we going after?" I ask.
