(4) Violet eyes

                        Uni's POV
      Cory, Tommy and I were walking through the forest. We had all awoken early and left at dawn. Tommy was leading us, and Cory walked next to me. I followed Tommys footsteps, and listened keenly for any sounds of monsters. We were all silent as we walked, the only sounds being our footsteps and breathing, and the occasional sound of Tommy adjusting the small guitar that he wore on his back by a small strap going over his shoulder and chest like a satchel.

      I began to hum a quiet tune as we walked, trying to fill the uneasy silence. Then Cory cleared his throat, "So...Where exactly are we headed, Tommy?" He questioned curiously. Tommy sighed in relief, as if happy for the newly sparked conversation. "Well, there should be a town up ahead, and we can stop there to figure out our plan." Tommy explained. I nodded, then Tommy continued, "Oh, and this place isn't exactly the most...Normal place.." He said hesitantly. Cory looked at him, "What do you mean?" He questioned. Tommy was hesitant, "Oh, you'll know when you get there." He said. Then I heard music playing in the distance, "I think I hear it." I said. Tommy and Cory grew silent, as if listening. Then Tommy spoke, "Yep, that's the place. I know that overly cheery music from anywhere." He said. And, now that I think about it, It really did sound overly cheery.

                        Cory's POV
      As Uni, Tommy, and I began to approach the sound of the music, I saw Uni smile. He always liked the sound of music, I guess since it's the one thing that he isn't missing out on without sight, that and touch. As the town came into view, I saw a big pair of iron gates, and a small watchtower beside it. I couldn't see through the gates, but I heard music and chatter from the other side of it. Then, Tommy stopped suddenly. "Hmmm..." he hummed in confusion. "Usually there's someone here who alerts the town that there are visitors, and takes you to the headmaster to get accepted as a visitor." Tommy explained, looking carefully at the watchtower. "Huh, sounds like an overly complicated process." Uni said. Tommy and I agreed, "Well, I guess we can just let ourselves in." Tommy said with a shrug. I looked suspiciously at the watchtower, then I shrugged and followed Tommys lead.

       As we entered the gates slowly, opening them just enough to slip through, I was immediately surprised at the sight. "Is this a town of-" I began slowly, but Uni cut me off, "Jesters...?" I looked at Uni and saw him tapping his feet vigorously, as if wondering if he was sensing the right thing. "Heh, you bet!" Tommy laughed. I looked back out into the town and admired all the colors. The town looked relatively normal, all except the many jesters that walked around. The jesters all wore colorful outfits, and all outfits only had two colors, and they all wore three part, big jester hats with bells on ends of each part.

      Some jester outfits had purple and orange, some had blue and orange, others wore pink and yellow, and many more. I stared in awe at all the colors, "This place is quite eye-catching." I said in awe. Tommy smiled, and Uni smiled aswell, "It's got great music." Uni commented, and I nodded in agreement. Then Tommy gestured for us to walk forward with him, "Let's go guys. We need to get supplies, and figure out our plan." He said. I agreed, and so did Uni. We began to walk forward, and I continued to take in the sights.

      Happy looking jesters lined the streets. Some dancing among themselves, and others just chatting excitedly. Shops also lined the streets, all filled with colorful items, aswell as sweet-smelling pastries and foods. Tommy, Uni, and I continued walking. I was still looking around, when suddenly Tommy stopped walking abruptly, causing Uni and I to crash into Tommys back. I stopped and looked infront of Tommy, and I saw a jester standing infront of him, his arms crossed angrily, and an angered expression resting on his face.

       I looked this jester up and down, and I realized that this jester looked different than the others. He was chubby, and tall. And his jester outfit was red and yellow, and instead of just three bells on his hat, he had bells lined across shoulder plates on his shoulders, and a strand of golden bells lined across on a strand on his chest. His jester hat was like all the other jesters hats, it was tight around the edges, not letting any of his hair be seen. This guy must be the headmaster... I thought to myself.
