I was pulled up by an arm around my waist. I coughed and gasped looking down at the river as it boiled and splashed around from the long tail of the basilisk. I was set on a ground made of straw I looked around wiping water away from my eyes. I was on a boat made of straw swinging wildly underneath a giant lion with a eagle's head and hummingbird wings. There was a small hut and a lantern on the boat and apart from that there was a mass of people. All of them were children. The boy who had pulled me out was a tall, muscular boy with dark coffee-colored skin and brown eyes, he was wearing a black muscle shirt, jeans and about thirteen different amulets and necklaces around his neck, Hunter was nearby coughing violently as a boy with curly brown hair knelt beside her. He was wearing kaki pants, a blue dress shirt and loafers. The sleeve of his shirt was damp making me assume her had pulled her out of the river. A girl stood at the helm, she was wearing jeans, combat boots and a leather jacket. Her honey-blond hair with red highlights flew behind her and in her hand was an ivory staff glowing with light. I looked down and saw Branwynn dancing this way and that dodging the snake.

"Deploy group A!" Called the girl at the front and a large swath of the people jumped off the sides of the boat. The girls turned and grabbed the boy who had pulled me out of the water kissed him and pushed him over the side. Hunter stood shakily and looked around, the boys stood as well. He and the girl moved towards me dragging hunter with them. Hunter shivered violently and sat next to me. I looked up at the boy and girl.

"I'm Sadie" said the girl "and this is my brother Carter" I looked at the two of them, they had nothing In common but I couldn't really judge. Sadie looked us up and down.

"can you fight?" She asked. I nodded shakily and Hunter shrugged. Sadie smiled and pulled me to my feet.

"well let's get you changed and down into the battle field" said Sadie smirking. She pulled me into the small hut and started rooting through a chest of clothes. She pulled out a white shirt and held it up to me. She tilted her head slightly and tossed it over. Then she pulled out a pair of black sweat pants and tossed it over as well.

"sorry, no shoes" she said and leaned back over the trunk. She pulled out a white shirt, and pair on grey track pants.

"Meet me outside once you've changed." said Sadie exiting. Hunter pulled off her wet things and changed. I did the same, The clothes I got were a pair of sweat pants a little to big for me and a white loose t-shirt. Hunter was wearing a short sleeved loose white t-shirt and track pants also slightly to long. I walked out and she followed our bare feet padding quietly on the straw. Sadie smiled and us pushed off the boat.
