Ferrith felt his sore eyes open. He managed to raise himself up on his four legs, 3 of which were blistered. He turned his aching neck sideways and noticed the girl from the night before.
She was sitting upright, staring away from him out across the fields. There had been a massive blizzard the night before, but already the snow was beginning to melt, and huge puddles and lakes of water filled the fields as far as the eye could see.
He stared at the girl, and suddenly felt an incredible hunger pang. He crept up behind her, but he couldn't make himself eat her...
She turned her head around after sensing he was awake, and she stared at him with sad eyes, "Wolfie, you're awake"
Ferrith stepped back for a moment, and then sent a thought to the girl before him, "Can you hear?"
She scrunched up her nose for a second, as if startled by his thought, "Yes."
Her thought was strong and well-trained for a child. Ferrith could tell she had been taught well.
"Where is your Master?" he asked her telepathically,
"I have none."
"Your parents?"
"I have none."
"Then who are you?"
"...E----Esirith."

"The wolf is like a... foster parent he takes in people like you who have wandered far from your tree." Nightmare said.

After a while of climbing the mountain, Esirith found a berry bush and picked a few berries from it. Ferrith gladly accepted the berries and Esirith placed them in his mouth handfuls at a time.
She only ate a few herself, and then they sat down, satisfied.
"How long have you lived here?" Ferrith asked her curiously,
Esirith didn't reply, she just closed her eyes and appreciated the gentle wind that blew by them.
"What happened to your parents?" he tried another question,
"They died. They couldn't stand life under the Tree, they tried to escape, and they died because of it" Esirith replied shakily.
Ferrith turned his head to the ground and an awkward silence came between them.

Eloise gave Nightmare an unappreciated look,
"I know what a wolf is, and it's not that," Eloise replied, rolling her eyes,
"Wait a minute...aren't you that bat who stole my bracelet?" Eloise asked suspiciously.

"Really? then you would know what kind of bird would have this kind of feather then?" Eloise asked, pulling out from her pocket a large feather.

Ferrith turned his head upward suddenly.
Esirith didn't move, and sat exactly in the same position she had been in before.
"Did you notice that?" Ferrith questioned carefully,
"What are you referring to?" Ferrith detected a hint of worry in the girl's voice as she said this,
"I thought I heard... a bird screech" he replied.
Esirith shook her head sadly, "These mountains do things like that to you. You ebgin to hear others and see things... Who knows? You might just be a figment of my imagination"
"A figment of your imagination?" he questioned again. He could've swore her heard that bird screech...
Esirith nodded her head plainly, "I haven't decided yet. I think by the end of today I will have a better understanding of you. I really hope you aren't just a figment of my imagination, because... You give me great company"
Ferrith didn't reply.

"I dont know? What ever bird it is it would have to live in the mountains, which is far, far from the caves I live in." Nightmare lied. "Why have you got a feather, why not the whole bird."

"Because...Because..." Eloise burst into tears again,
"Oh go away you obnoxious bat," Eloise told him with a sob.

Marcus was led out to a rather large room with about 14 people sitting inside in a circle. He had his armour and weapons taken away from him and his wrists were bound toghter. He was pushed into the middle of the 14 sitting men and two guards stood behind him to make sure he didn't try anything.
One of the men, who was obviously the leader Told the man who had found him to come and tell him what he knew.
"So he comes from the tree." The leader said.
"Yes, My lord, his obviously a soilder to. We can't let the people of the tree find us out after what happerned in the dragon war. "Replyed the man.
"What is your name?" Asked the leader to MArcus.
"I am Marcus" Marcus replyed not making eye contact.
"Well I am Borac, Chief Elder of our land" The leader said. "It looks like we will have to kill him."
There was a uproar between the 14 Elders. "Surly not!" One of them said. "The Gods comand that we may only kill in a time of war!"
"Damn, your right." Replyed Borac. "In this case we will let him loose in the snow. It will be hunger that kills him then."

Ferrith looked up at the girl, who was just sitting still, playing with her fingers.
"What will we do about the flood?" ((WHICH BY THE WAY WILL AFFECT YOU GUYS -___-))
Esirith looked up, "We will stay up here. I like it here anyway"
Ferrith felt uneasy, "What about the blizzard? Will there be another one..?"
Esirith frowned, "Maybe."
"Then what will we do?"
Esirith stood, "I don't know, Wolfie"
They began walking back down the Mountain, maybe they'd be able to find a different path.

Marcus was walking down to the exit along side two guards.
"So has anyone ever survived out there?" He asked.
"No." Answered a guard.
"Are you going to untie my hands?"
"Nope."

Ferrith gave Nightmare a wolfish glare (lol, wolfish), "Get me some food, any food. Human, plant, anything you can find. If you fail, I shall eat you. Now go"
