"Wow Frey! This horse carriage is so big!" We left Cervana two days ago, and are traveling north to Aperian for two reasons. One, to see if Cerina's teacher Merlin is ok, and two to...

"Hey Frey why are you coming?"

"I'm going reclaim my family's right to the throne I guess. Still shocked that I'm Aperian royalty."

And that.

Apparently the trip was a week and a half. We'd have to go through a couple of unique terrains... I didn't bother to remember them. Frey has everything under control! Right now we were crossing the dead grassland. It's just like any old grassland except everything's dead!

The grass was all brown, and the trees were nothing but branches pointing daggers at each other. A very spooky place indeed. The carriage itself was cleaned out of any merchandise that Gorfon was selling, only the lonely wooden interior was in our company. Cerina also packed some secret goodies! She won't tell me though. L

"Yea it's what my father uses when he goes to other cities. He's lending it to us, He told me he's going to focus on magic again, and train Ponta as well. Without any Merchandise it must be quite roomy in there" Frey turned his head backwards to see that his words were not heard.

"That's not fair! How did you!"

"It's ok Melody. I've been playing this game since I was a child."

"So what! RAWR another game!" I cleared the board and quickly reset the small black and white pieces. Being in a merchant town has its perks, Cerina packed some of the board games from around the world. Right now Cerina just taught me how to play Othello(1). Frey continued to look at us. Did he want to say something? Whatever!

"And It's my win again!"

"What! How- Awww"

The cart rose in the air. I looked at Cerina's surprised face as we were suspended in gravity for a split second. We crashed on top of one another with a loud thud. The black and white pieces were flung everywhere.

"Frey what happened!"

"My bad It seems we ran over a small rock" Frey jumped off the carriage to investigate. The rock wasn't exactly small; it was medium I guess. It did look irregular tough.

The chilly wind reminded us we were not in Cervana anymore. It was silent. Without the trotting of the horses the silences felt ominous. It didn't help that the vegetation also looked dead.

"Don't worry you have me here"

♪ I sing this wonderful song from the people who can't do anything without me, please fix-♪

A snapping sound interrupted my song, as an arrow pierced through the cold air, and into my weak shoulder.

"Awww! What" I grabbed the area around the arrow and collapsed to the ground. I'm never going to get used to this pain thing!

Cerina instantly sprung in front of me and drew her sword. Frey led me to inside of the carriage. It hurts, it burns! What is this!

The arrow had a slightly green tip that shined to the faintest touch of light.

"Okay Melody I'm going to break off the arrow and pull" Frey snapped to a decision. Unfortunately, his body didn't agree and was trembling. The moment his shaky fingers touched the arrow.

"AWWWWW!" The pain reached across my body. Frey instantly retracted his hand. Idiot did you forget who I am!

♪I sing for this arrow to be removed, and this wound closed♪ white notes surrounded the arrow and my shoulder. The arrow rolled across the wooden floor of the carriage, and my shoulder started to feel a lot better.
