Skyler's pov

"So where exactly is this Quest of blah blah blah" I asked.
"We're not really sure if it's correct but it's somewhere here in this frozen forest" Mike replied.

"Yeah...there's suppose to be some sort of portal in the heart of the frozen forest of Krystel" Brady added.

Honestly I wasn't in the best of moods. We've been walking for I don't know how long and I feel like we've been walking in circles. We have been looking for the heart of the forest since forever yet we always come back to the same place that we started.

"I don't get it...the sign says.....Go where the truth is always correct and that's right isn't it?" Jack asked.
"Exactly" Mike added.
"Go where the truth is always correct..." I mumbled to myself.

The truth is always correct????Mmmmmm.
......."WAIT I GOT IT!!!!!" I exclaimed.
"Got what" Jack asked.
"It says go where the truth is always correct and normally we would think there are two sides of a story when in fact there are three." I explained.

"You get the two different opinions then you get the actual truth" I smirked.
"And the truth never picks a side it always stays in the......."
"MIDDLE!!" Brady said finally understanding.

"So what you're saying is we go in the middle as in out of the path because in the middle there is only frozen grass and stuff ,no path" Mike complained.
I glared at him and he immediately shut up.

"Okay let's go " Brady said.
............................................................................................................

"Yes! We're here" I shouted happily.
"Yep...totally......here." Jack said in between his pants.
"I don't get it why are you two so tired " Mike asked.

"Yeah why" I added.
They both glared at us. "Hello....this is your kingdom meaning ya'll will be stronger" Jack stated as a matter of fact.

Mike and I giggled. " So how are we supposed to open this portal now." Jack asked.
"I don't know" I said looking at the weird patterns on the tree that is most likely the middle/heart of the forest.

"For your journey to begin you need the two elements of power to make one whole. Both should remain standing" Argh another riddle.
"Seriously another one" Mike complained this time I agreed.

"The two elements of power??? Does it mean Fire and Ice?" Brady asked.
"Yes..I mean those are the two elements of power right" I said.
"But what do they mean by 'make it one whole' is this a joke" Mike added.

"Make it one whole? Like combine them?" Brady suddenly asked. "How the heck are you supposed to combine fire and ice...won't the ice just melt" I asked.
"I think that's just it" Jack stated.

I looked at him curiously. "It says both should remain standing....I think we're supposed to combine fire and ice without the ice melting or the fire freezing" he said. "We have to balance it out" He added.

"How the hell are we-"

Jacks pov

I cut her off finally getting the thing.
"Like I said balance" Skyler pouted a bit because I cut her off. I gave her an apologetic smile before continuing.

"To do that we have to each give the same amount of power whether it's low or high it has to be the same" I explained and it's looks like they all finally got it.Slow pokes.

"That seems easy" Mike said and I glared at him.
"Thats coz youre not the one doing it" I told him
"If one of us does it a tiny bit stronger it won't work ..it has to be the definition of perfect and trust me it's gonna take a while" I sighed.

"Well then let's start" Skyler said.

Mikes pov

"Seriously it can't be that hard" I whined.
Skyler and Jack were on the floor panting HARD and Brady was taking a little nap.

"I swear...if u..don't stop...whining..." Jack started.
"You're....dead" Skyler finished.
We've been here for hmm I don't know A WHOLE HOUR!!!!!

At this point I don't know how many times they tried and either the the ice melts or the fire freezes and it doesn't help that this drains a humounges amount of energy.

"C'mon we can do this" Skyler said tiredly. Jack nodded.
I kinda felt bad for them. There're really working the hardest here. "C'mon you guys can do this" Brady said. Oh he's awake.

He looked at me and I realised what he was doing. These two needed all the motivation.
"Yeah he's right we believe in you" I chimed in.

They both had determined looks
"Okay let's try a method" I heard Skyler suggest. Yes...that could work!.
"How bout' I don't know...uhmm....Imagining a scale!" Jack exclaimed.

"Yes...we both have to imagine a scale and the objects have to be the same weight...not to powerful and not too weak" Skyler continued.
"Just right!" Brady and I said in union.

"Focus" I told them

Brady's pov

"Yes!!! ...You did it" I shouted and ran to give them a huge hug each
They looked proud.

They decided to make their elements smaller to make it easier.
Skyler made a small ice block and she had to channel that power so it wasn't to powerful or too weak.

Jack then lit a small flame making it just the right amount of power. Then they combined it and it made a blue flame. And the struck it at the tree which absorbed it. Awesome!.

"Guys look" Mike disturbed my thoughts.
He was pointing at the tree.
The letters were moving! Wait what?!

"What the hell" Skyler said hiding behind Jacks frame.
The riddle changed and the words "YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS NOW" replaced it.

Just then a white portal open pulling us all in. The last thing I heard was Skyler's squeaky scream. Or was it Jack?? I have no idea.
I'm just glad we opened the portal

All it needed was a little motivation and balance. Who would have known?
