Before the guest arrived......A man and woman stood outside in the cold snowy night. They wore fur clothing and purple war paint. The girl had tusk coming out of her curly brown hair, and the blonde man held a giant axe. The two hid behind a tree.
"We must strike now!" The man whisper yelled.
"Patience is key, Bronard. We must find the perfect time." The girl stated. The two looked over at the cavern of crystal. There stood the Ice witch in all her glory. She wore a white dress as silver and gold specks covered her body.
"This is our chance!" Bronard exclaimed.
"Be careful. Look at those frozen soldiers. They all tried, yet failed."
"Well, I'm not like those soldiers." He growled as he ran up into the cavern. The Ice witch turned and looked at him. "You die, today!" He raised his axe up, but the witch blew her breath at him, turning him to ice.
"I must summon help," the girl said to herself from behind the tree.
...............................
The group was sitting in the voting room with the new gem and a note. They were devastated at the loss of Amara.
"We have to play be Pastel's rules," Jeda stated.
"I just, can't believe Amara is gone." Gabe muttered.
"She wouldn't be gone, if Nathan didn't start turning on her and Gabe!" Amber snarled.
"My fault?" Nathan asked.
"Yes, your fault!" The Poet said.
"If anything, it's Gabe's fault!"
"How on Earth is it my fault?" Gabe asked.
"Because you're here, and Amara isn't."
"That's not fair! Gabe didn't put Amara into the challenge." Mikaylah said.
"If anything it's that assassin's fault. Both of them were supposed to live." Stewart stated.
"Well we have a gem." Jeda exclaimed. She got up and placed the gem into it's slot in the wall.
"We also have this note." Amber picked up the note that was on the table. "Your next adventure starts with the hearth."
"That's a fireplace, right?" Gabe asked. Stewart got up and went to the fireplace. He then suddenly punched it, the bricks falling out.
"Oh, wow, strong man!" Jeda exclaimed. Stewart placed his hand into the fireplace, then pulled out a note.
"What does is it say?" Mikaylah asked.
"My realm is in danger and you're the only ones who can save it. In the hearth you shall find a compass that'll guide you to my realm, but to activate it, you must collect the blood of an innocent soul, and the ashes of a war hero." Stewart read. Gabe put his hand into the hearth and pulled out the small, circular, jade compass.
"Where can we find those two items?" Jeda asked Stewart.
"Well, it says, the second floor infirmary and first floor dining room."
"Let's split up." Nathan said.
GABE THE SAVANT: (Me, Jeda, and Amber go on to the second floor to find the blood of an innocent soul.)
"Where's the infirmary?" Gabe asked himself. The group soon found the room and walked inside to see vials of blood and a dirty bed.
"This is sick and gross." Amber muttered.
