Aphmau POV:

After three days of sailing we finally arrived at Droplet Creek. It was beautiful! It had a rather large coast surrounded by a Forest and even a huge snowy mountain, that looked to be, quite far from the coast. That must be where Elizabeth Jones it. We docked the boat and tied it to a wooden steak lodged in the ground then we headed toward the Forrest. We quickly noticed a gravel path leading through the Forrest so we followed it until we reached a huge wall and a gate. We walked up to it and were greeted by a guard on the wall. "Who are you?! Are you travellers!?" He yelled down to us.

"I am Lord Aphmau, Lord of Pheonix Drop! I wish to speak with Lord Tiger-Lily!" I yelled back to him.

He disappeared for a second but he re-appeared as he opened the gate. He gestured us to come in and once we were all in he quickly closed it hard. "Before you speak to our Lord please hand all weapons to me and also only one of your guards can go with you." He added as he turned to us.

Everyone handed in their weapons and then the guard directed us towards her house. I decided I would take Garroth since I know him more than the others. We walked in and we were greeted by a girl with bright red hair, emerald green eyes and she wore a Short Blue Belly Top & Black Shots, Black Gloves, but the ones with fingers poking out at the end, and Tall Boots up to the Knees with Heels. "Hello. Your Lord Aphmau, right?" She kindly asked.

"Yes.... How did you know?"

"My village and I have heard so many stories about you and your village. It is and honer to meet you." She said as she bowed to me.

"The honer is mine." I replied a little shocked and returning the jester.

"So I assume you're not here to just say 'hi'. What do you need?" She said turning towards her desk.

"Um... Well... A situation has occurred at my village.... It's hard to explain." Before I could try to explain she interrupted me.

"5 other 'you's' magically arrived at your village? Yeah, I heard about it. Don't ask!"

"Well... The author of the book is called Elizabeth Jones and, according to my villages librarian, you were the last to see her. So..."

"Yes, I was the last to see her. Yes, I do know where she is. But there is no way I am taking you to her!!!" She yelled turning away.

"Why." Garroth asked.

"We don't have a good relationship. Basically when in was poor, before I became a Lord, I was a thief. One day Elizabeth turned me in. Ok I did steal her food but still!! I had to run away and I came across this village and I fixed it up and became the Lord. I've seen her climb the mountain 10 miles from here but I'm sure you knew that already."

"Well thank you. We'll be going now." I said heading towards the door.

"Whoa whoa whoa, wait!! Where are you going!?" She asked stoping us.

"To find Elizabeth." I sassed turning back to her.

"*sigh*....... can I come to?" She added.

"I thought you said there is no way you're talking us to her." Garroth said, he's right.

"First of all, I can do what I want. Second of all, I'm technically not taking you there if you already know where she is. Third of all, you'll find I am a very forgiving person. Mmemdmdmmsmmmd" she said, the last part being a mumble.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Nothing! So...."

"Of course. Let's go."

We headed out the hut, we picked up a the others and one of Tiger-Lily's guard and headed towards the mountain. Next stop, Elizabeth.
