          "How much longer? My feet are tried..." Archer whined. "Archer for a person that is 16 years old you act like a child," Aaron said as he picked up Archer and put him on his shoulder. Starlight looked at them before looking back ahead. "We can stop somewhere for the night and set up camp. Would that be alright with you, Archer?" Mellie asked him as she looked up at him. "Yes, very much," He said with a smile and laid his head on top of Aaron's. Aaron had an annoyed looked on his face but he couldn't do anything about it. "Let's settle here," Elda said pointing to a clearing in the forest. We all looked at it and shrugged our shoulders. "Sure, why not," Ava said and walked over to the clearing. The rest following right behind her. 

          "Before we do anything we need to get food and supplies. So we need to find a nearby Village," Mellie said walking in front of us so she had our attention. "Me, Aaron, Clarity, Starlight, Jay, Ava, and Elda can go," Archer said as he was let down from Aaron's shoulders. "Alright, then. Then I and Zach can stay here and set up camp," Mellie said and walked over to Zach and crouched down. "If your alright staying here with me to help?" She asked in a calm voice. Zach thought about it for a second before he nodded his head as a yes. "Good, now help me collect firewood," She said and grabbed Zach's hand.

          "Alright, there should be a village just north of here that's not that very far away," Aaron said as he bordley pointed to the direction he was talking about. "Alright, then let's head that way then," I said and started to walk in that direction with the others right behind me. It was quite for 10 minutes before we made it to an opening in the forest. And of the looks of it, we were on a hill so we can see the village in the distance. "Well, let's go we don't want to take all day," Archer said and ran down the hill. Me, Jay, Ava, and Elda looked at him shocked at how he was not falling flat on his face from how fast he was going down the hill. But Aaron and Clarity didn't seem fazed at all. Nor did they acknowledged that he was going to fall they just ran after him. 

          But then I snapped out of my shocked state cause I realized that they were way ahead of us. I then started to run after them, but I almost fell in the prosses but I caught my balance and continued to run. "Hey! Wait for us!" Elda yelled as she started to run after us. I laughed silently to myself as I saw Elda try to keep her balance so she won't fall on her face. But when we got to the bottom, she fell and then landed on her face. I laughed silently before walking over to her and offering her my hand to take. 

          She looked at it for a minute before grabbing it. I lifted her back onto her feet and she dusted off her dress. "Alright, then let's enough messing around. Let's get going and get those supplies before Mellie gets mad. And trust me shes scare when she's mad," Archer said with a scared looked when he said the last sentence. "I think we both know what you mean, Archer," Aaron said with a bored tone when he pointed to himself and then Clarity. 

          "Alright, anyway let's go!" Archer said with a happy as he skipped over to the village. I can see that Aaron roll his eyes before he picked up Clarity and walked to the Village with us right behind. When we made it to the Village we heard the chatter of people and their overly loud voices, and I can't forget the horses and the carriages coming in and out of the village. "What's this village even called?" I asked as I looked around. "Hmm? It's the Hillcrest Village. It's most famous for it's loyal and kind people," Archer explained. 

           "Alright, then let's go," Aaron said as he walked into the village. We followed him to the middle of the village where there were more people and a water fountain. "Alright, to get the stuff we need fast we would have to split up into groups," Aaron said. And immediately Clarity pointed at Aaron. It made sense since she was around him more than the others, other than Mellie. But he was the only one that she knew better here. "I guess I would go with, Aaron as well. And of course, Starlight can't leave his side so he would have to go with them. "Okay, so the groups are Aaron, Me, Clarity, and Starlight. And the last one is Jay, Elda, Ava, and (Y/N)," Archer said as he placed his hands on his hips.
