The Search For True Love Chapter 1 Two weeks had passed since the six heroes had finished their quests. Alexa returned to her lookout point, Taiyo and Oaklyn had returned from their honeymoon and Ktara was living in her new home and was finally living inside instead of living and sleeping in the Bad Lands. Alieta kept sending winged messengers to Alexa to keep her informed how her friends were doing which made Alexa feel very happy inside. Tempress was back living comfortably home in Fae Land's North Town. Alieta also found out from one of the messengers that Archie and Cinthia got engaged and hoped that they would come to their wedding but no date was set yet. Alieta visited the man in the Black Forest and released him from his duties of guarding the Black Forest and apologized for forgetting about him for so long and invited him back to Fae Land. All was good in the land of Fae... The Team Of Six Reunite One day while on the lookout point, Alexa was looking to the south when she heard someone approaching from behind her. She turned to see it was her good friend Titus that seemed to have an urgent look on his face. Hi Titus, what is going on with you? asked Alexa. It's this compass I got from the Fae Chest, said Titus. I keep it in my pocket all he time plus I put it on the table beside my bed at night but when ever I opened it the dial just keeps slowly turning as if it is looking for someone but can't find anyone. I am worried that there is no true love for me. Well try up here where there are no obstacles in the way, said Alexa. Titus took out the compass and opened it and all of a sudden the dial started to spin very fast then suddenly stopped pointing due south and then got very warm in his hand. It worked! Thanks for your great idea, said Titus. I have to go follow the compass now to find where it takes me. He started down the hill when Alexa told him to stop. The compass pointed to the Bad Lands and you shouldn't go alone, said Alexa. Why don't you go and see what Tempressa is doing, she is probably getting just as bored as me up here. Okay, good idea, said Titus. With that he turned and ran down the hill looking much happier now. Hey Titus, I want to come too, so bring her back up here with you, yelled Alexa. He turned and said okay then continued to hurry down the hill. 01 Illustration Goes Here A couple of hours had passed and Alexa was getting worried that Tempressa was not wanting to go but then she saw the two of them coming up the hill all dressed in their Fae armor. Tempressa was very glad to see Alexa again and agreed that she was getting bored too. Okay let's have another look at that compass, said Alexa. Titus took out the compass again and told Tempress to watch the dial. Once again the dial began to spin fast and stopped pointing south again. Well look at that, it really works, said Tempressa. Okay lets go down the hill so I can get some supplies at my place for the trip, said Alexa. When they got to Alexa's place she packed enough food and water to get them across the Bad Lands then Alexa made sure to get the Sun Crystal that she kept in a very safe and hidden place. Now we should see if Ktara will come with us, said Alexa. She knows the Bad Lands better than anyone. They agreed and started on their way to Eden. In about twenty minutes they reached what they figured was Ktara's new home. Alexa dismounted and before she could knock on the door Ktara ran out and looked very happy to see Alexa plus Tempressa and Titus that were still on their horses. Hey! Welcome to my new place, said Ktara. It has a huge kitchen just like I asked for and elves come to visit all the time seeing they all love my cooking. So why are you three all suited up? Alexa told her what they were going to do and wanted to know if she would guide them again. She smiled and said what do you think and invited them in to check out her new home first. The place looked amazing with big rooms especially the kitchen that Alexa fell in love with. Finish off that cake on the counter while I get ready, this won't take long, said Ktara. 02 Illustration Goes Here Soon Ktara came out looking awesome in her new armor that fit her like a glove. Now when we get back you have to let me try out that big kitchen please, said Alexa. Okay, not a problem. It would be nice to have someone else cook for me for a change, said Ktara. They left the house and mounted their horses and started out. We should go see Alieta and tell her what are doing, said Alexa. They all agreed and headed to the palace. On the way their they saw two horses playing and frolicing what seemed to be in large yard. As they got closer Alexa could see these were not horses, it was Taiyo and Oaklyn! When they saw the three coming, they ran up to them smiling and waving and noticed that they were all suited up and had swords. Where are you all going, asked Taiyo. We are going out to find Titus's true love, said Alexa. Hang on, just a second, said Taiyo. Before Alexa could say another word, Taiyo and Oaklynn ran back to the house and when they came back out, armed and ready to go with them. We are a team and you never know when you can use two centaurs, said Oaklyn. Okay then let's go said Alexa but first we are going to tell Alieta what we are doing. Good idea, said Oaklyn, she likes to know what her people are up to all the time. 03 Illustration Goes Here They started off to the palace but at a slow pace because they had a lot of catching up to do about how they were all doing. When they finally reached the palace Alexa asked one of the elves if she could get Alieta for them because we needed to talk to her. The elf smiled then turned and ran into the palace and soon Alieta came out and looked extremely happy to see them again and in the new armour the Fae Chest gave them. Well I can see you five are up to something, what is going on? asked Alieta. Show Alieta the compass Titus, said Alexa. He walked over to her and opened the compass. The compass began spinning very fast again then stopped facing south towards the Bad Lands. Alieta's eyes opened wide. I have never seen that needle spin so fast, said Alieta. You all better get moving fast because when that needle spins that fast it means that your true love is in danger or something bad is going on. There is no time for chit chat right now, we will do that when you get back. With that the six of them took off very fast out of Fae Land, towards the Bad Lands and who knows how much further. 04 Illustration Goes Here Chapter Two The Search Begins They started out on the Bad Lands that was just a bit south of Fae Land and traveled for about twenty minutes. Then Ktara told them to stop and asked Titus to pull out the compass so she could see what direction it pointed across the Bad Lands. The compass did the same thing the stop slightly off due south now. The compass is pointing in the direction of Cordia, a place unknown to me but I hear that many people living their were poor and struggle to survive, said Ktara. Then we have to find and get my true love out of there, said Titus. Okay but that part of the Bad Lands we have to cross over is dangerous and slow going plus I had never gone too far into that region so there is no way of knowing what or who we may meet on the way, said Ktara. That doesn't matter, said Titus. Let's just get going. Ktara thought to herself that she hoped they didn't come up against any snakes again like the last time they were in The Bad Lands. They started back on their way and things were easy going at first but the further they went the rockier the ground became making them slow down more and more until they were only walking with their horses, watching their step. Alexa could see that land ahead was covered with large rocks and they would have to zig-zag through them making it impossible for her to see what was ahead of them. As they neared the large rocky area, six men with swords jumped out from behind some big rocks and told them this was their territory and must stop and go back now to where they came from or they will have to battle until they were all dead. Tempressa yelled out "We have no time for this" so she raised her finger again at them but Alexa said that she shouldn't freeze them before reasoning with them. I not going to freeze them, just watch this, said Tempressa. At that Tempressa let out a large stream of ice under their feet making all the ground and rocks turn to ice. This made it impossible for them to stay upright. As the marauders laid on the ground, the team went around them when one of the men yelled to them. "If you continue, you do it at your own risk. Very few come back out of this path alive". It was starting to get dark and travelling with no light in this rocky terrain would be impossible so they decide to make camp by one of the big rocks. There was no wood to be found anywhere to make a fire so they had to eat and then get some sleep in the pitch dark. Oaklyn and Taiyo took the first watch seeing there was still a bit of light available. You will have to take over Alexa when it gets too dark for us to see, said Oaklyn. It is cloudy so no moon and you have the best eyesight here. Alexa agreed so they all sat and ate then got some sleep while Oaklyn and Taiyo took the first watch. Things were very quiet, too quiet thought Oaklyn but all was still as the sky loss all light. Oaklyn figured it was time for Alexa to take watch so she walked over to and woke her up. Your turn Alexa, we can't see a thing past out camp, said Oaklyn. Alexa took over as Oaklyn and Taiyo laid down beside each other and fell asleep fast. Alexa looked up and noticed the clouds were clearing and soon the moon came out emitting enough light for her to see better. 05 Illustration Goes Here Alexa then noticed somebody walking towards her but the person was not holding a sword so Alexa kept her sword down. As the figure got close enough for her to see, she started to walk towards this person and saw it was a tall man that had a bow and arrows slung over his shoulder. Alexa was about to talk when the man raised this finger to his mouth and said, "Shoosh, we don't want to wake the others. Come over here behind this big rock and we will talk there". My name is Diego The Archer, may I ask what you all are doing in this part of the Bad Lands. Alexa told Diego about the quest they were on to find Titus's true love. Well you may need my help because there are many dangers ahead, said Diego. Does any of your group have spears or arrows? No we have elven swords and armor, said Alexa. That might be all good and all for fighting men but you need weapons that can kill from a distance, said Diego. Not even desert marauders travel this terrain. If you don't mind I would like to join your group as long as the others agree of course. I am sure they will once they chat with you a bit, said Alexa. Well, it is very safe here among the rocks at night so we should get some sleep too, said Diego. It will be getting light in a few hours and rest is always needed when on a quest. Alexa was unsure but she was still tired and for some reason she really trusted Diego so the two of them leaned against the rock and fell asleep. Now there is seven members on the team. 06 Illustration Goes Here At first light the two of them got up and started back to the camp. The others were already awake and wondering where Alexa was. When they saw them come out from behind the rock they looked confused and asked who is this person. This is Diego, The Archer and wants to know if he can join our group because we don't have any weapons that can kill from a distance plus further ahead he will become very handy to have around, said Alexa. Is okay with you all? Well if it is okay with you then it is okay with me, said Tempressa. The rest also agreed so they all settled down for some breakfast then gathered their things and started on their journey again. Alexa and Diego chatted a lot seeing it was still slow going through the rocky terrain. Ktara whispered to Tempressa "I think Alexa likes him". Tempressa smiled and agreed. He is kinda cute being tall and handsome and all. They both snickered as they walked on. Oaklyn asked what they where snickering about, oh nothing they replied. Ya I bet, said Oakland. After about two hours Diego told every one to stop because he heard something. He told them to take cover behind the rocks but draw your swords just in case. In case of what, Thought Alexa. As the others looked on to see what was going to happen. They heard Diego start to whistle a familiar tune then all of a sudden two large mountain lions jumped from the top of the large rocks from two different directions. Within seconds Diego had his bow armed and shot two arrows at them so fast that you could barely see his arms move. He hit both of the lions in the chest killing them instantly. Then three more jumped out at him and he did the same that seemed even faster killing all three lions also. Then he paused and listen for a second when a huge mountain lion jumped out at him roaring with claws out. This time Diego had two arrows armed on his bow and shot. One arrow went right in the chest and the other went straight in it's mouth. Diego jumped back as it hit the ground and slid towards him. 07 Illustration Goes Here Diego took out one more arrow and shot it into the now dying lion's side. He then turned around and said "The last one was just for insurance". Everyone was stunnded how fast he eliminated the threat and wondered if there was going to be more to look out for. This big over sized lion was the leader and with out a leader the rest of the lions if any will not know what to do and will scurry back to their den, said Diego. Oaklyn turned to Alexa and told her she could close her mouth now and get the stunned look off her face. Alexa had never know anyone that could use a bow and arrow that fast before but she had to get back on track and the group started heading forward again but first Diego asked Alexa to cut off one of the back legs of the dead lion. What for? asked Alexa. For food of course, no use letting att the animals eat all the meat, said Diego. Alexa did so as to show him she was no sissy. She handed it to him and he carried it by the paw as they moved ahead allowing the big leg to bleed out. Oaklyn was walking with Taiyo and said, "This guy is a human. I thought only elves were really good with a bow and arrow". Well maybe he was taught by elves or something, said Taiyo but I have never seen an elf shoot like that before. Being out of the Bad Lands there was plenty of wood around now to build a fire. Could someone go gather some wood for the fire while I skin this leg so we can eat before we go on? asked Diego. Alexa and Titus went out and came back with plenty of wood then Diego arranged the wood so that he could cook the leg easily. Alexa turned to Tempressa said, "He can cook too!" Tempressa smiled and watched him cook the leg as he talked to them about some of his adventures. Oaklyn asked him how he learned how to use a bow and arrow that way. He told them that he was raised by elves in the east and became one of the best archers of them all. Taiyo turned to Oaklyn and said, "I told you so". 08 Illustration Goes Here After they were all done eating they gathered their things and were about to get going again but Diego ask them to wait a minuite so he could fill them in about the person they are going to have to deal with when they reached there. The name of the man you will meet is Hanable The Terrible, that is a mean land owner that over taxed the all ready poor people of the land, said Diego. He has a bunch of body guards to keep him protected so we will not be dealing with just him. After that they started back on their way. Diego told them his place which look a bit like a castle was about three hours away and their was no rush because he was not a murder, he just took girls usually the youngest from families that couldn't pay his over priced taxes and made them his servents or better said, his slaves. They started on their way again but at a good pace to keep up with Titus. After about an hour and a half they came across a smal house in bad condition. They figured it was one of the land lord's tenants so they decided to just keep going. As soon as they started to pass the house a man came out and asked them where they were going. We are going to visit Hannable The Terrible and rescue a girl from him, said Titus. The man said that you better be careful because he is mean and has big body guards protecting him because in truth he is a useless fighter and can't use a sword properly. The man called back to the house for some one to bring him something. A very beautiful blonde girl emerged and gave him a sack and wanted to give them the tax money they owed him so that maybe the would release their youngest sister from his imprisonment. Her name is Tessie so you will know who to ask for. Keep the money for yourself, said Titus. It sounds like you need it much more than this mean guy does. He said okay and went back inside but not before Titus's and the lovely blonde's eyes met for a second. Then she quickly turned and went back into the house. 09 Illustration Goes Here The group then continued on and soon they could see this old small castle that was in bad shape. He obviously kicked out the original owners and took it over for himself. As they approached the castle a big man yelled out for them to stop. Then several big bodyguards joined him. Titus approached him and told him they were here to rescue two girls he had taken from their families. We do not know both of the girl's name but one of the girl's name is Tessie. He replied, how much money you got? We have none, said Titus. Then you will have to try and take her if can, said Hanible. With that the body guards all raised their swords and started towards them. One yelled out that he had never killed a centaur before and this was going to be fun. Diego raised his bow and arrow and was about to shoot when Alexa told to put that away and asked Tempressa for her sword. You can sit this one out too Tempressa. We got this, said Alexa. Diego smiled and sat down on the ground with Tempressa to watch the group in action. The five of them rushed towards the body guards and Alexa struck first at one of the men cutting his head off. She jumped off her horse then continued to battle on foot as the others did the same but Alexa was doing the most damage killing each bodyguard one by one by decapitating them. Diego was stunned as he watched Alexa, yet pleased at how fast and good she was with two swords. Our Alexa is just not another pretty face isn't she, asked Tempressa. She is amazing, said Diego, she definitely has skills like none I have seen before. Titus got fed up and grab the last two guards at once and snapped both their necks killing them instantly. When Hanable The Terrible saw the outcome of the battle he ran inside and locked the big door behind him. 10 Illustration Goes Here Oaklyn and Taiyo looked at each other then told the others that we have his. They both ran up to the door then turned around and kicked open the big door with their hind hooves, causing it to crash to the floor inside. Well now I no better than to walk behind you two, said Alexa. Everyone smiled then entered the castle. There must of been over twenty young girls inside all hiding behind furniture the main big room. Don't be scared girls, we are here to free you all so you can go back to your homes, said Titus. The girls all jumped up and cheered and thanked them all and one even gave Titus a kiss on the cheek. He first asked them all to stop for a moment before leaving. Titus took out his compass and opened it again but this time it began to spin slowly then it got warm. The compass stopped in the opposite direction. It looked like it was pointing at the home they just left where Tessie lived with her two siblings. Hanable The Chicken where are you hiding you coward, yelled out Diego. No one answered so he look around a bit and found a big stash of gold in Hanable's bedroom so he gathered it all up and gave each of the girls some to take home with them. Don't worry, Hanable will not be bothering you anymore, his days of over taxing people are over, said Diego. 11 Illustration Goes Here Oaklyn yelled out Tessie's name and she came forward. Hello Tessie, I am going to give you a ride home. We promised your brother and sister we would bring you safely to them, said Oaklyn. Oaklyn squatted down and Tessie climbed on her back and then the entire team left at a quick pace back to Tessie's house. When they arrived to the house Tessie got down and ran towards the house and her two siblings came out over joyed. She showed them the gold that she was given and said this is for us to rebuild and get our gardens going again. The older brother and sister approached the group and thank them all. The brother embraced them all and the sister gave them all a kiss on the cheek but when she got to Titus, she went kiss his cheek but then stopped and looked him straight in the eyes. Your the one, she said. I don't know lets see, said Titus. He took out the compass and opened it again and it started to spin slowly then got warm again and the needle stopped pointing directly at the pretty blonde sister then it shut tight on its own. Titus was unable to open it anymore. 12 Illustration Goes Here What was that thing? asked the sister. It is a magical compass that when opened will point one in the direction to their true love, said Titus. Tears came to her eyes and gave Titus a big hug. Alexa had tears in her eyes too and Diego said to her "You are just a big softy inside aren't you?" Hey I am a girl and we are allowed to get emotional from time to time, said Alexa. He smiled then they all said they had to go back to the palace and talk to Alieta and Titus needed to give her back the compass because he won't be needing it anymore. Wait said the sister. Don't you want to know your true love's name? Yes of course, sorry I was just caught up in the moment, said Titus. My name is Paisley, what is your name? I am Titus, he said to her. They all went to get ready to leave when Paisley yelled, "STOP!" You are not going anywhere without me and with that she ran to Titus and in one leap, she landed right on the the back of his horse. Wow that was quite the jump and landing, said Titus! Ya I work out a lot, said Paisley. What about your stuff Paisley, yelled her brother. Let Tessie have everything, said Paisley. I have all I need right here. Alexa asked if everyone was ready to head back. Oaklyn told Diego to jump on her back. You will have to squat down a bit because there is no way I can do what Paisley just did, said Diego.They all laughed and got on their way. After about ten minutes Paisley asked why are we going this way. There is a short cut around the Bad Lands which I hate. Really, Titus asked? Yes just follow my directions and we should be in Fae Land by morning, said Paisley. 13 Illustration Goes Here Chapter 3 Back At The Palace Once they all reached the palace in the morning, one of the elves saw them coming towards the palace and she just turned around yelling "THEIR BACK, THEIR BACK"! Out came Alieta with a huge smile on her face and asked them all to come inside. Paisley was amazed at how big and beautiful the place was plus she had never seen Alieta just heard stories about her. When inside, Titus approached Alieta and gave her the compass back. I won't be needing this anymore, said Titus. It won't open anymore for me anyways. Yes, once the person holding the compass has found their true love then it shuts tight and must be returned to the Fae Chest, said Alieta. Is the Fae Chest real? asked Paisley. I only thought it was a myth. Oh it is real enough alright, said Alieta. She asked one of the elves to bring the Fae Chest over for her. It just looks like a regular old chest, said Paisley. Well it is old but far from regular, said Alieta. She opened the chest and put the put the compass back inside the chest then it shut by itself. There back home where it belongs until the next time, said Alieta. 14 Illustration Goes Here So you must be Titus's true love, said Alieta. My you are a beautiful young woman, what is your name? Um, my name is Paisley, Queen Alieta. I am sorry but I am a bit nervous, I have never met a queen before and you are a very well known queen, said Paisley. Well just call me Alieta dear, there is no need to be nervous around me. We are all family here in Fae Land. So would you like to try out the Fae Chest and see what it gives you? When you open the lid it will give you what you need the most. Really how does it know what I need and how does it do that? asked Paisley. With magic of course, that is how Titus got the compus, said Alieta. Okay, I will try, said Paisley. She knelt down on the floor and opened the lid and found a small box inside. She picked it up and opened it and found two rings inside it, very similar to Oaklyn's and Taiyo's. Two gold rings, it gave me, said Paisley. Those are rings of love and prosperity, said Alieta. Very rarely the chest gives them out. Only special souls receive rings like them, just like Taiyo and Oaklyn. Put the smaller one on your finger then put the bigger one on Titus's finger. The two rings will make sure that you both prosper and will love each other with all your hearts until the day you die. Paisley put on her ring then went to Titus and put the bigger ring on his finger. Then they kissed. Diego turned to Alexa and asked if she was going to start crying again. Alexa turned and kicked him in the shin. He yelled "OUCH!" and every one turned to see what happened. You see having body armour on has its uses, said Alexa. Every one smiled and then Alieta turned to Alexa and said I see that you found my friend Diego, or did he find you? It was kind of a mutual meeting in the dark of night, said Alexa. 15 Illustration Goes Here Now it is your turn to see what the Fae Chest has for you Diego, said Alieta. He bent down and opened the chest and reached inside and pulled out a beautiful gold laced bow that was even lighter then the one he had plus a sash of arrows. Once again the Fae chest closed by itself. That sash of arrows and bow has special qualities that will send an arrow off faster than any other bow and the sash of arrows will never go empty so you will not ever have to make your own arrows again, said Alieta. Diego put out his hand to to thank her but she just grabbed it and pulled him in and gave him a big hug then whispered in his ear, thank you for going and helping my very good friends. He whispered back, your welcome, I needed a change anyways. Now that all is done here you all go upstairs and get cleaned up and I will have some elves bring you some nice clothes to wear and they will take your armor and clothing and have it cleaned and polished, said Alieta. Then come back down to the dining room and we will eat while you tell me all about your adventure. When they were all cleaned up and dressed they went downstairs to the dining room and saw Alieta at the head of the table as usual and a huge spread of food on the table. As they ate Alexa and the others told her all about the entire trip and how they defeated all of Hanable The Horrible's bodyguards. Then how he ran back inside cowering and locked the door behind him that was no match for Taiyo and Oaklyn. Alexa started to laugh and Alieta asked what is so funny? She told her how Diego renamed Hanable The Horrible to Hanable The Chicken. They all laughed and continued to eat. It was Alexa that killed most of the guards in record time, I was astonished at how fast she could move and how good she was with a sword, said Diego. She seems to have a thing for cutting off heads. Alieta smiled and thought to herself, this looks like another match made in heaven. 16 Illustration Goes Here After all the stories were done and they had finished eating Alieta told them to spend the night and get some sleep before you set out home in the morning. After a good night sleep they all found their armor and clothes beside their beds. They all got dressed and headed down stairs and had a quick breakfast and were ready to leave when Alieta asked Tempressa if she was going back to her Ice Palace. No I don't think so, said Tempressa.. I have friends here now plus it is really cold in that palace. I prefere where I am at now. Maybe a couple of polar bears will take it over and raise a family. Alieta smiled and said good choice plus you never know when your services may be needed again and you can be the Ice Queen anywhere. Yes that is true plus the food here is much better, said Tempressa. Everyone laughed again then got ready for the trip ahead. They all said their goodbyes then Titus told Paisley to jump up on his horse behind him and she did the same as before, took one leap and landed right behind him. He turned to her and said you gotta lot love a woman that can jump like that, hang on tight. Alexa asked Diego to jump on her horse but he said, "Okay but don't expect me to do what Paisley just did". Off they went and headed back home and figured they could take their time because all was done and they were in no hurry. 17 Illustration Goes Here Chapter 4 The Trip Home On the way back they were just having idle conversations and talking about what they planned on doing when they got back home. Alexa wondered to herself where Diego was going to stay and as if he read her mind he said, I think I will find a nice little place in town. Is there anything available close to you? We will have a look around tomorrow but in the meantime you can stay with me but you will have to sleep on the couch, said Alexa. Okay sounds like a good plan, said Diego. When they were about half way home those two same trolls jumped out and told them they have to pay a toll to continue. They couldn't see the Ice Queen because she was behind Oaklyn and Taiyo. What are you two doing in Fae Land? asked Alexa. The desert wasn't a nice place to live and we heard about this place that had lots of people with money, said the male Troll. So each of you give us two dollars and you can continue. You can't charge us money here in our own land, said Alexa. Sure we can, that is what trolls do, said the female troll. Alexa was about to dismount when all of a sudden Paisley said, "I will take care of this". Everyone wondered what she was going to do but Titus had a good idea what she was up to. Paisley walked towards the trolls and they wondered what such a petite pretty girl was going to do. Paisley then took three steps and drop kicked both of them in the head, knocking them both out. Well that takes care of that, no one is ever taking my money again, said Paisley. Everyone was astonished and Alexa said to her, "Girl you have talents where did you learn to kick like that?" I took self defence lessons when I was in school plus did gymnastics, just incase I ever needed to defend myself, said Paisley. She then jumped back up on the horse behind Titus and they were back on their way. 18 Illustration Goes Here Soon they were back in town and they all said their goodbyes and promised to stay in touch. Taiyo, Oaklyn and Ktara went back to their homes in Eden and Tempressa headed back to the Ice Palace to shut it down and hide it. Titus and Paisley headed out to his place for some quality time. On the way to Alexa's place Diego asked her if she planned on going back to her lookout spot. How did you know I was up their watching over the land? asked Alexa. Well to be honest, Alieta told me but do you really think you need to? asked Diego. It is very safe in this Land Of Fae and if anything ever arose I am sure we all could take care of it. Yes you are right and I am tired of being alone up there plus it can get pretty windy too, said Alexa. Let's get to my place and relax for a bit and I will make us something to eat. Sometime next week we can go to Ktara's place because she promised that I could use her big kitchen and prepare a meal for her. Sounds like a plan, said Diego. You know you are very good at making plans, said Diego. Alexa just smiled and put her hand on his face and said "You have seen nothing yet". The End 19 Illustration Goes Here
