Uprising

They managed to walk quite a few miles from the Palace before the veil eventually faded. They had made their way along a woodland trail, deep into the forest. As soon as the last of the blue tint was gone, they all slumped to the ground, exhausted from their hours of walking, having not truly stopped since entering the doorway in Althaea’s home. Lexi pulled out the bottle of water she had managed to save back at their encounter with the spider, all of them taking a good drink until the bottle was empty. Lexi sighed, looking at the bottle,

‘We’ll have to find somewhere to fill this up’, she pointed out, placing the empty bottle back into her bag. Amber lifted her head,

‘I know exactly where we can do that’ She stated, ‘There’s a small group of tree dwellers close to here. Mum is good friends with them. They also have excellent healers, so they may be able to help with my wing’, she smiled, a little hope clear in her voice. They all pulled themselves back onto their feet reluctantly, Amber setting off as a guide, leading them from the path and deeper into the woods.

Having walked for almost another hour, their steps were getting heavier and slower. They entered a small clearing with overhanging trees, dipping down between two banks, they made their way halfway across the open ground when there was a loud snapping sound, followed by a whoosh of air as they were surrounded by some kind of net and tossed swiftly up into the tree canopy. They hung there, their arms and legs awkwardly entwined at weird angles around each other.

‘Rowan, what if these are his men!’, Amber managed to free her hand and placed it on Lexi’s shoulder.

‘It’s okay’ she emphasised, ‘I recognise some of them. These are the people we were looking for’. She then shouted out, as loud as she could, ‘It’s okay, we’re here peacefully. I’m Amber, Celeste’s daughter’. One of the figures ran to a thick rope tied around a tree, and swung his sword at it. As swiftly as they had flown into the air, they plummeted back to the ground with a thud. They wriggled to work their way free of the net and pulled themselves to their feet, brushing off random leaves that had clung to them. One of the figures approached, a small man, he looked approximately 40 years old. He had a stocky chest and a long black beard, his head was completely bald. As he approached, he began to smile widely,

‘Amber my dear, I haven’t seen you since you were the same hight as my knees, but I’d know that head of hair anywhere!’ He chuckled, ‘What brings you here to our neck of the woods? Surely you’re not meant to have left the Gateway?’ Amber stepped forward,
