Two months past and all four of them were officially ready. They fully transformed into wolves and they could change into human form whenever they wanted. After all this time, Gloria managed to taught them and she now allowed them to leave the manor and find The Dark Crystal.

It was November now. They were all four outside the manor. "These two months past really quickly. I had fun training you all. But you need to be ready for the worst." Gloria explained. "Promise me that you will be very careful and always help each other."

They nodded, although the last part was clearly not for Roxanne and Axel. They knew how to help each other from a young age, it wasn't something new. They said goodbye to Gloria and left from the front door of the garden. Their bodies slowly disappearing on Gloria's view.

Axel's P.O.V

We were walking for hours and yet nothing happened, neither we found anything. We were walking towards a lake. The lake was dirty though and we couldn't see our reflection.

"Guys, take a look at this." Sophie was holding the map.

"What is it?" Roxanne asked who was standing beside Sophie.

"There is something in this corner of the map. Not very far. It seems like a house?" I grabbed the map from her hands. "Hey!" It was true, we were approaching a house without even realizing.

I turned around to face her. "Sorry, come on, we need to go to that house. They must know something about this Dark Crystal." I said proud of myself.

"Since when did you become the leader?"

"Since I said it Roxanne, now let's go!" They followed and I could hear them sighing.

The night was slowing coming, so we needed to be quick. I could see the house. "I see it!" I yelled for them to hear me. We ran towards it. It was a small house, cottage. Pretty cute. I took a deep breath and I knocked on the door. The others were behind me, I could feel Aaron's heart pumping. The door opened. It revealed a short man. An elf perhaps?

"I-um, hi?" I said, sweating like crazy.

"What a surprise." He said and stepped beside so we could come in.

I looked around, it really was a small house but for him it was like a manor. He led us to the living room.

"Should we trust him?" Roxanne whispered in my ear so he couldn't hear us.

"I don't know. Perhaps, he might be our only chance." We were forced to sit on the cold wooden floor. The furniture was to small for us.

"Want some tea?"

"Oh, yeah sure." I said and he nodded. I looked around the room. Small yellow sofas in the middle of the room with a wooden table on the side. Book selves on the right corner and a fire place on the left, with a big window above.

He came with five cups on tea. They were the same sizes as my pinkie. I drank it all in one go, then I started the questions. "So, you are an elf?"

"Yes, the last elf alive unfortunately."

"Why is that?" Aaron asked as he was finishing his tea too.
