The Phoenix In The Forest

Chapter Two

The next morning Dahlia fixed them breakfast, so they didn't have to pay extra. She waits for them well reading a book, relaxing back in a chair. 
Tyson sits up stretching,, he slowly got up brushing his hair, He then gets dressed and smiled going down stairs carrying his bag.

Teagan  rolls out of bed with a loud thud "ow!" he groans sitting up and running a hand through the brown mop of hair,  after getting up and picking out a splinter, he changes clothes and thinks to him self "wish I could just go shirtless.. but I know I can't" then huffs and goes down stairs.  The moment that the smell of bacon and other foods hit the boys nose's, they both scramble down stairs at an alarming rate crashing into each other, 

Dahlia looked up at them and couldn't help but giggle to herself as they chowed down making a big mess. The inn keeper shouts at them "hey! watch the mess!" which gets her to clean it up and hit the boys over the head with her book "idiots gonna get us in trouble" They look down with a pouty lip "we're sorry..." in a quiet voice, After a couple hours they are riding into the forest, 

 The forest was small, shadowy, and young. Its canopy was dominated by willow, larch, and redwood, their crowns allowed cascading lights to shimmer through for a plethora of sprouts to flourish in the rich grounds below.

Swooping vines embraced most trees, and an array of flowers, which desperately tried to avoid the shadows, added some color to the otherwise unchanging lower level.
A mixture of animal noises, which were caused by rummaging critters, echoed in the air, and were out of sync with the occasional sounds of birds of prey gliding in the air.  Dahlia lifts her head to take in a whiff of the air.
