Nightmare Quest (Book 3)

1

I watch as the sun rises over the golden sand dunes on the outskirts of the Forgotten Village. So much has happened in the past 2 years it doesn't even feel like I should be standing here. I am so absorbed in the sunrise and my thoughts, I don't even hear Essix come up behind me.

"What are you doing out here Azula?"

"Just watching the sunrise." I partially lie because I don't want to tell Essix what I'm really thinking about. "The real question is what are you doing up so early; I know you're a late riser." I reply with a smirk.

Essix huffs irritatedly and crosses her arms "I don't always sleep late."

I laugh and playfully punch her in the arm "Hey relax, you know I'm just messing with ya."

Essix mumbles something under her breath and I just laugh again. "You know I find it to be amazing that we've been friends for 3 years now." I say to Essix.

She smiles at me "Of course! I couldn't think of a better friend than you."

I raise an eyebrow "Are you sure about that last statement, you might make Star jealous."

We both laugh and stare at the sunrise some more. We don't get to stare at it for long because our sunrise is interrupted by the sound of footsteps behind us. We turn around and see Briggan panting and out of breath.

"Y-you gotta come quick....attacking...town."

That's all me and Essix needed to hear. We took off running full speed towards the village, leaving Briggan to stagger along behind us.

What up people?!

So I'm back!! I hope the first chapter was ok! I'm trying to separate each character's dialogue by paragraph thing like up above. I've seen other people do it that way when they're writing so I figured why not give it a try.

I'm hoping to make this a great book so I hope I can count all of you guys' support!!

I'll see you guys later!!
