Chapter 25 - Chapter 23: Lost in the Woods

Savr and Victoria walk out of the Chapel in the middle of the night.

"We don't have long." Savr says

"Where did she say Vilox lived?" Victoria asks

"In the Living Forest." Savr answers

"Where's that at?" Victoria says

"Just south of here." Savr answers get your horse.

On Mt. Heill D'vron is readying his army of primitive Trolls. He turns to Heidi and says

"In mere hours everyone you love will perish. And through their deaths I will rise as not only the Dark Lord of Elda, but as the Dark Lord of the Creative World!" D'vron announces

Heidi who still has a sock in her mouth so she can't talk. But a tear runs down her face knowing she can do nothing.

D'vron takes a look into his magical wishing well. What he sees is Savr and Victoria running for the Living Forest.

"Dispatch Razar and his gang of Trolls Horman, I think I can take her out now." D'vron says

D'vron then walks out but as he's leaving Heidi realizes that the clothes that ties her hands up are right next to a sharp rock. She then has the idea to try and cut the cloth away with the rock.

Savr and Victoria ride towards the Living Forest, unbeknownst to them is that a small group of fifteen Trolls are gaining on them with Razar leading the way. As they enter the Living Forest Victoria asks

"Why do they call It the Living Forest?"

"Because the trees have a mind of their own."  Savr answers 

"Creepy." Victoria says as she looks up at the trees. 

"So where is this Vilox?" She then asks

"I don't know I never met him in the original story." Savr answers

Just then the howl of a wolf frightens Victoria.

"Keep your sword close." She tells Savr

On the Dibits. Beta, Curipher, and Yellow are working hard to try and regain contact with Space Command.

"C'mon book to TV show." Beta says jokingly

"You can say that all you want but no amount of joking is going to make the telecom form a link between a TV show and a Novel." Yellow says as nothing but static comes over the telecom.

"Try one more time." Beta asks

"Alright, performing com link." Curipher says

"Dibits to Space Command come in space command." Yellow says and to everyone's surprise they hear

"Sunrise to Dibits come in Dibits"

Beta, Curipher and Yellow all begin to cheer and celebrate.

"Dibits are you there?" The Captain of the Sunrise says

"Yeah, this is Lieutenant Commander Yellow of the USS Dibits. Report us 21-12." She says

"21-12 ok got it 14-13" The Sunrise Captain says

These codes mean something in the PA book. 21-12 means that a ship is trapped in an unknown world.

While 14-13 means over in out.

"We got help." Yellow says

"We sure did, thanks to me. Speaking of, I've gotta tell the Captain." Beta says. Beta radios into Jeffers who is still sleeping.

"What is it Beta? Can it wait until morning?" Jeffers says

"No, Captain. I've somehow done the impossible. I've set up a com link between Elda and the Stellar Odyssey universe." Beta says

Jeffers is shocked and surprised and asks

"What?"

"It's true Captain, come down and see." Beta says

"I can't we're going to rescue Heidi today. But I'll check on it afterwards."

"Ok Captain." Beta answers

Savr and Victoria are still lost wandering in the Living Forest. 

"What are we gonna do?" Victoria asks

"I don't know we're running out of time." Savr says as the sunlight begins to rise.

"Should we just turn back?" Victoria asks realizing they have failed

"Maybe." Savr replies.

As they begin to turn around they see a Troll standing in front of them blocking their path.

"Uh oh." Savr says as he reaches for his sword.

"Uh oh indeed." Victoria adds as she sees more Trolls approaching them.

"Stay behind me Vic." Savr says

The Trolls lunge at them and Savr quickly pulls out his crossbow and downs one of the Trolls with an arrow.

The others rush forward and Savr begins fighting them. One Troll tries to slice him with its claws but he parrys with his sword and kicks it in its private parts. 

"Ahh!" The creature screams

Savr then hits one of them in the throat taking it down. But he quickly gets overwhelmed. Victoria picks up a rock and throws it bashing one of the Trolls in the head with it.

Savr turns to her and says

"Try hitting them with this."

He then throws her the crossbow and his sack of arrows.

Victoria loads it and shoots it several times, taking down one each time she fires. 

Then Razar comes up to Victoria

"It's over girly." He growls

Victoria is startled by the fact he can talk.

"Uh Savr a little help please." Victoria says

Savr who is dealing with other Trolls at the moment replies

"Kind of busy Victoria."

D'vron looking at the battle from his magical pool is livid. 

"How is this happening!" He yells in anger.

"Don't worry my lord." Horman says

"There's no way she can beat an entire army." Horman continues trying to comfort his boss.

As they look they see that they're getting bogged down by the sheer amount of Trolls coming at them.

"I guess I spoke to soon." D'vron says

Just then the unthinkable happens as each of the trolls then gets hit by this mysterious ray of light,

"What is that!" D'vron shouts

"It can't be. Vilox" Horman whispers

"I should have known Vilox would interfere with my plan. That brother of yours might actually tilt the balance of power in their direction." D'vron says

Down in the Living Forest. Savr and Victoria are met by this mysterious Wizard who says

"Greetings chosen one. I am the one you seek." He says as he shoots fireballs in rapid succession killing the Trolls.

Both Savr and Victoria look in utter shock at the power of this individual.

"My God." Victoria whispers
