Now they were safe outside the territory. "OK how far are we to get help?" "What happened?" said Quinn. "This is what happened." said Artimis. "She was stabbed by this?" said Quinn. "Yeah. We know one person who can help. I just don't know how far we are." said Artimis. "Lets look at the map. It will only show up if we truly need him." "Yes its magic. He moves around a lot. Now I have to say We are looking for Jasper." Then there was a green light and it popped up. "Good. We aren't far. A mile up the road. Luckily its not close to the next dangerous place." said Keyon. "Yeah." So Aries carried Neve the whole way.
Finally they got to the hut. Aries knocked on the door. (knock Knock) "Come in." said Jasper. "I know who you are. I'm the one who put my place on the map. Your lucky I'm still alive. Aries and Artimis. Bring the girl here." Aries gave Neve to Jasper. "Yes. She definitely was stabbed by the sword. I'm assuming you brought the sword here?" "Yes sir." Said Artimis and showed him the sword. "Yes. That is the real thing. I will keep this sword here for safe keeping." "Yes sir. Can you help her?" said Aries. "I need to see how far gone she is first. Why don't you all wait outside so I can have room." "Yes sir. Come on everyone." said Aries. Once everyone was outside he worked on Neve.
"Big sis." Lucia was crying. Dad embraced Lucia and told him, "Its ok Little man. You sister will be ok. She is strong." Dad even started to worry more as well. He was holding back tears. Everyone was silent like they were saying a prayer. Even Lucia's crying was silent.
Back in the hut, "OK Neve. Lets see how far you are gone. Luckily I can help you. A few min longer it would be too late." He got his tools and inspected her to see where the wound was. He saw a mark on the side of her stomach. The right side. He got his tools to inspect the wound to see how bad it was. "OK. First I put the medicine on, then I will heal." Except once he put the medicine on, she was starting to heal already. "That's weird, She's healing already? Could she be? I will have to find out after I make sure she heals. Good. She should be fine now. I have to go out let them know what happened."
Jasper came out the door and said, "Is one of her parents or siblings here?" "Yes sir. I'm her father. How is she?" "She will be fine now." Everyone took a sigh of relief. "Can I talk to you alone sir?" "Yes." Dad walked in with Jasper. "May I know your name Sir?" "Yes sorry." Said Dad. "My name is Lucia." "OK Lucia. I had to look at the wound and put medicine on it to cure whatever the sword did to her. When I went to heal her, her body was already healing on its own. Is that normal?" "No actually. I am a fox and my wife was a Nue. None of my son or daughter has shown any sign of changing into anything till now." "I see. So she can still change into either one." "I'm afraid with the way she is acting." said Dad. "She might turn into a Nue." "Why would you be afraid?" said Jasper. "You should want to protect her and keep her safe. If anything happens do not be afraid." "Yeah your right. Thanks Jasper." "I have an idea. Hold on." Jasper and dad went out, and Jasper made another hut appear. "There. Now there should be room for all of you to sleep. There should be beds and everything you need to sleep." "Thank you sir." said Dimitri. "Your welcome. Lucia? You may go in with them. I will be keeping an eye on Neve." "Thank you sir." "Its my job. No need." So Dad went to join the others in the hut.
After everyone had gone to bed, I woke up. "Where? Where am I? Ow. That's right. I was stabbed. Hello?" Jasper was out for a bit then heard something in the hut. "Hello?" I said again. Jasper dropped what he was doing and ran to the hut. "Hello there. Looks like you are awake." said Jasper. "My name is Jasper. I healed your wound. Well all I did was pour medicine and your body healed on its own." "Are you serious? Damn! It just means I might be turning into something after all." "What are you afraid of dear one?" Said Jasper. Then I told Jasper about mom and the other Nue I met. "I see. There is nothing to be afraid of. Even if you do turn into one. As long as you can control your form, you should be fine." "I hope so." "Plus you got all of your friends here and family. They will support you I'm sure." "Yeah. I hope your right. Where are they? Oh they are in the hut outside. you can see them in the morning. Just relax on the bed and sleep." I laid back down and closed my eyes. Jasper went out to do what he was doing before. He was getting enough supplies so he wouldn't need any when he poofed to the next place.
The next morning, I woke up. "Hello? Is anyone here?" "Yes yes. I'm here." said Jasper. "Hey Jasper? Can I ask you something?" "Yes what is it?" "How do you move around so much?" "Well I use magic to poof myself and my hut to random places with my magic. Why do you ask?" "Can you poof us somewhere? Or would that be too much." "I can probably poof you to where you want to go, but some of you might end up somewhere else. My magic isn't that strong. Sorry." "Its fine."
The others got up and got ready to go. The flying animals made it back as well. "Well I'll be." Said Jasper. "I haven't seen that phoenix or those Griffins in years." "You have seen them before?" "Yes I have." "Wait a min. They are the same ones. Don't tell me Zain and Ryder are here too?" "Yes they are. " "Well when they get here, I will have to talk to them."
Everyone finally got to the hut, and Jasper said, "She is awake. She told me some things. Two of you at a time can see her. I would suggest her dad and Grandpa first." "Yes sir." "Ryder, Zain, and Artimis. I want to see you." Jasper pulled Zain and Ryders ears. "Ow ow." said Ryder and Zain. "Why didn't you boys say you brought your flying friends. May I go see them?" Yeah they'd be happy to see you." said Ryder. Ryder guided them the the flying creatures.
"Hello beautiful Hazel." Said Jasper. "Hello sir." He could understand any creature, plant, and animal. "Nice to see you again." said Hazel. "Nice to see you've grown up into a beautiful griffin." "My brother Archer has been a pain as always." "Hey Hazel. That's not nice. I get your point though." Jasper started laughing. "Haha." "What is it Jasper?" said Zain. "Oh nothing. Just sibling rivalry going on. Haha." They laughed as well. "Archer are you giving Hazel a hard time?" "Well we are only supposed to fly far enough away to stay hidden until they need us. I get bored. Then Jay over there has to act like the leader and stop me." "Well at least someone has to watch you." "Its good to see you again too sir." Said Archer. He pet Archer as well. "Last but not least Jay." "Hey Sir. Taking care of these two is a handful." "Yeah I know what you mean. I am the one who gave you to them after all. How are you all getting along with your owners?" They told them they were getting along well. That's good. Whatever happens. Stay near your owners okay?" "Yes sir. We know what what we are protecting them from." said Jay. "Good." He patted Jay's head. "OK. I better head back. Good to see you boys and girl too." Said Jasper. "You too master." Then Jasper went to check on Neve.
He went into the Hut and saw Aries and Quinn who were the last ones in. "Hello Jasper." I said. "Hello Neve. How are you feeling?" "Better thanks. I know you need to be leaving soon." Aries helped me up. "Be careful on your journey. I wish I could poof you, but I don't want you going to different places." "Thanks Jasper. Don't be a stranger and visit us sometime." "I will try. Take it easy Neve." "Thanks."
Once everyone was out of the hut, Jasper said. "It was good seeing you all again." The flying animals were near them so they could say goodbye. "Nice to see my old friends again. You animals too. I hope to see you all again on good terms." "Bye Jasper. See you." Then he poofed his hut and the other hut. "Wow. He can really poof." I said surprised. "How are you feeling Neve?" said Dad. "I'm fine now. Jasper told me I healed on my own." "Yes." Said dad. "He told me too." "Dad? What if I do turn into a Nue?" "Its ok Neve." He hugged me. "No one here will hate you. They will help you if you need it." "Thanks dad." We were on our way.
"Hey Ryder and Zain?" "Yes Neve?" said Ryder. "Can I ride on one of your griffins the rest of the way? If the others get in trouble at least we can make it down." "Sure. You and your brother can ride Hazel." "Thanks. Lucia come here." "What big sis?" "We are going to ride on Hazel the rest of the way. We will follow the others in case they get into trouble. You will be staying here with Hazel and Zain, while me and Ryder go down ok?" "OK big sis." Zain called Hazel and she came down. Zain told her she would be taking the two the rest of the way to the village. She would follow the others in case they got in trouble. She laid down for us to get on. I helped Lucia, then I got on. "OK up Hazel." Then we went up and the men turned into their fox and Raiju forms and sped up.
