All three had now escaped the soilders with luck and were now sat on a hill overlooking the village."Thank you".Luna said grateful,but the boy didnt seem to reply."Yes thanks". Skyler too thanked him for his help.He once again took no notice he then turned slowly and began to walk off into the distance however Luna followed him once at his side she stared him in the eye."Whats your name".She asked in a friendly manner.The boy hesitated for a moment before answering."Its Tide". He replied proudly."Tide,I'm Luna and this is Skyler,were traveling across the boarders to defeat the Queen". She said with enthusiasm. Skyler appeared nexto them."Luna!".She exclaimed.Luna looked at her with confusion."What!".She replied.Skyler rolled her eyes." Oh nothing". Skyler mutterd. Tide looked at Luna with great suspicion." Let me get this straight, your going to travel all the way through the boarders to defeat the Queen". He said, trying to understand. Luna didn't say a word but instead simply nodded her head." Do you want to come with us?". Luna asked joyfully. Tide turned to face the high mountains in the distance then turning again to face Luna and Skyler." I don't have time for foolishness,I'm going". He said walking off once again but this time in another direction. Toward the fields of the Earth lands. Luna watched in anger. Before running again after him." Wait!..". Skyler called, Tide turned round to face her with an impatient look on his face." Can you at least give us directions to the Air boarders?". She asked. Tide huffed before then pointing north to where the breeze was blowing." That way, if you carry on north you should reach the Air boarders by nightfall". He said strongly." Thank you, we'll be on our way". Skyler said calmly, as a gentle guest of wind flowed through her blonde soft hair." Hey you said before you were traveling to the Queens palace,why?". He asked in a suspicious manner." Well,it's a long story.."." She's ice Elemental!". Luna blurted loudly,with a wide grin on her face." The ice Elemental, your the one who brought all this on us, your the one they're searching for, if it wernt for you our innocent people wouldn't have been killed!,it's your fault!". He said,his voice full of rage and hatred." Hey back off, you think I wanted this to happen,I didn't ask for any of this!". She replied angerly, her voice strong. Tide once again huffed and twisted around leaving them alone with each-other

As night began to fall over the lands Skyler and Luna made there way across the fields toward the mountains where they would eventually reach the Air boarders. The air was silent and the sky was now a dark blue colour with the white shining stars that looked to the valleys below and hovered,shining their light and illuminating the sky. Luna stared endlessly at the star's memorized by their light. The moon too seemed to glow further as there were no clouds to block its rays." When I was young my mother used to say that you should never be afraid of the night because the moon is just the suns darker side but it still shines bright". Luna said sweetly, Skyler faced her with warm eyes as she too seemed happy in the presence of the moon.

Later that night the pair had arrived at the forest of Swift. They hesitated for a brief moment but then slowly began to make there way through. The moon's light dissapeared slowly as they travelled deeper into the trees; their long, thick branches blocking out small rays from the moon.
