yeah it's me again I'm starting to think we're lost
and Kai doesnt know what he's doing. He keeps telling me not to worry and we're almost there but I feel like we're getting farther and farther
but I think we'll leave..one way or another.

"Where are we now?" Astra started to complain which understandably irritated Kai a bit.
"Dont you trust my mapping skills?"
Astra sighed
"I did but im starting to know better."
they continued the tread through the soft wet grass.
The morning sun brightly lightning up every area in the cold atmosphere.
Lumi trotted behind them taking small breaks to roll around in the grass every now and then.
"Maybe your skills arnt as polished as you imply." Astra suggested.
"what does that supposed to mean?" Kai turned to Astra.
"I dont know? Maybe you need to work on your skills more?"
Kai gives her a condesending look as if telling her your lying that's not what you really mean.
"you know what fine- I'm saying we're lost kai! no one is around us for miles!" When astra said this Kai just turned around and kept walking.
"....I-" Astra couldn't bring out any words after that she was expecting more of an reaction.
"Hey wait for me!" She said trying to catch up to Kai
Lumi tilted her head not understanding what just happened following closely behind them afterwards.
"Kai!!"

Ari head was in the second book looking and the constantly moving X's on the page.
"Hey you over there!"
Ari looked up to see a girl waving at her.
She pointed to herself as if asking if she was being called and the other girl nodded ecstatically.
"you need something?" Ari puts the book in her bag.
"Yeah how would you like to volunteer for a new thing we're trying out?"
"huh?" Ari was confused but listened in anyway.
"we're trying make a place full of fascinating facts and education we're calling it the cabin of curiosity."
Ari blankly looked at the girl .."yeah sorry..but that's not for me-"
" come on." the girl cut her off "at least look at what your working with before you decide."
Ari sighs and nods.

The forest started to lose its majestic look as the sun began to go down and the air was unbearably cold.
"Kai! I said wait up a sec!" Astra was out of breath from all the walking and climbing.
When she finally caught up she heard a voice
"lost are we?" Astra looked around to see who said that but find no one even Kai didnt know.
"look up-" Both Astra and Kai looked up to see a kid with black curly hair green eyes with a pale complexion and weird black clothing laying on a tree branch.
"Who are you?" Astra strained her eyes to make out his figure in the dark.
"Oh me?" The boy said with a smile.
"I'm Oliver Thomas." The boy jumped down from the tree branch.
"The great collector's assistant!"
Both Kai and Astra stare blankly at the child getting a good look at him he's not more than 14.
"Who's that?" Kai continued staring at Oliver.
"who's the great collector??" Oliver couldn't believe what he was hearing. 'How could someone not know the great collector?' He thought to himself before cleaning his throat after his previous shocked expression.
"He's the one said to make the books of course!
Not only that he's definitely immortal Heck he's so powerful not even elf magic can beat him and he's a hum-" Oliver started to rant about his greatness before he was cut off by Astra
"Human?? there are more humans here?" Astra looked excited to find out there are more in this place like her.
Oliver looked shocked again "your a human too?"
Astra nodded hysterically but stopped realizing she never told Kai.
"I never told you did i?"
Kai shook his head "you didnt have to your ears were showing since we met in that forest-"
Astra looked embarrassed "ohright.... then" she laughs awkwardly looking back at Oliver right after "Can you take us to the great collector?"
Oliver grins ear to ear
"sure can do human witch lady!"
