We honestly did not have anytime to stand there and enjoy the idyllic view but we couldn't help it. It was just so mesmerising. The sunset made the huge castle that stood in the centre of the kingdom look like it was made of gold. The river that surrounded the kingdom reflected the sun rays and the whole place was glittering with blinding light.

'Well lets move on or we'll be going now where' Emily said trying to see how we could get down hill. She pointed at rocky terrain that was sculpted by some clumsy hands that led to the forest down below.

We carefully made way through the path. We certainly did not want to die rolling over the hill. There was nothing to hold on to ensure more safety. Emily was wobbling and walking carelessly in excitement to reach the unknown Kingdom. We reached down not very long after.

My legs were still shaking so I held onto Em's shoulder. 'The forest did not seem very dense from above' Em said betraying a hint of fright. True. The forest was very thick and covered with trees and extremely overgrown grasses. 'Emily aren't we supposed to go home? Lets just turn back to where we came from and start back home' I said.

'Well I don't think I want to go back to the dead cave again. We could get lost the second time maybe. Well who knows but the people who lives in that Kingdom could help us back' she said reassuringly. I turned my fingers slightly behind me to hide my worry.

We started to walk down the forest. No kidding it was dark and really dense. Occasionally we heard odd noices coming from somewhere...well everywhere. I did not enjoy this one bit. But I really do admire how brave Emily could be if she really wanted to. I tripped many times on stray branches and rocks and I'm really sure I broke my toe nail. I was feeling really tired and famished. 'I really have to sit down' I said settling on a big rock on the ground.

'Yeah me too' said Emily 'But we can't stop now... C'mon lets walk a bit more'. 'No...I can't take another step unless I rest a bit' I said stretching my legs and I heard cracks from my joints. 'We are in the middle of an unknown creepy ass hell forest, how can you rest while we're here?' she said angrily. I was about to snap back when I heard something...like running hooves...

'Someone's coming' I said alarmed. 'Must be the citizens of the kingdom' said Emily hopefully and started to walk towards the noice. But we could hear more hoof noices. We were getting closer to the noices. But then I tugged at Emily's sleeve and said 'We should first look who's there'. Emily nodded. We walked more silently and heard a very rich but thunderous voice talk which certainly did not sound human.

' Saib lat ukmell avhaav¿' ' Yeuk....iav doeuk ukmell familiar', we heard the voices say. Emily slowly moved the leaves that blocked us from them and stared. I couldn't see what she was looking at but whatever it was...it creeped her like hell. Emily slowly pulled me way from there slowly. 'What are those' I whispered as slowly as possible. 'Shush... they're orcs' said Emily so quietly. ' Ah... Ul ukmell iuk nauk-alpak clouke afar' thundered one of the voice. 'Oh dear.... hurry...' said Emily 'I think they found us'. We were making quite a fuss and noice while walking so it wasn't a surprise when we heard the hoof sounds storming at us. 'RUN!!!' yelled Emily at the top of her voice.
