i opened my eyes while lying down on the grass to see Rayia asleep on my arm, as beautiful as ever. I didn't want to frighten her. She looked relaxed. When I turned back, I saw Ben's scary red eyes piercing in me like knives. I knew he was jealous of Riya's proximity to me, but that didn't bother me. She decided to spend time with me. I didn't force her to do anything. She didn't say anything, but everyone, including myself, could sense her feelings for me. As I was in deep thoughts, I felt hurls of pebbles being thrown on me, I turned towards the direction they were being thrown and saw Ben. My turning and tossing ended up waking Riya. "Ugh," I grumbled, "what's his problem now?" I moaned, which startled Riya. "What's wrong, is your wing okay?" The first question she has is concerning my wing. I appreciated how much she cared about me. "Not if that redhead over there doesn't stop throwing rocks..." I exhaled a sigh. "Ben!!" As we turned to face the voice, Zed lunged in and slammed Ben onto the grass. He rushes towards us, clutching a chart... He holds it
up and adds, "I spent hours making this."
"Exactly what is it?" Raiya and I were both speaking at the same moment. "I'm sorry you
wasted a whole day, so I got up early to make a map that indicates the quickest methods to approach the exterior entrance, with it.... You'll be there before your usual projected time." "Zed, you're an absolute genius; I adore you!" I say this as I hurry up to hug him. Riya, who was as excited as we were, raced up to hug us and accidentally whacked my wing hard.... I let out a painful groan as severe pain ran up my wing. It surprised everyone for a few seconds, then Maya dashed in and jumped on Zed, taking all of our attention back to her... and I felt completely at home once more.
The previous path I used would have taken me five days longer to reach the black doorway, but this map... It cuts the trip down to three days. We all ran inside to pack our possessions, but I already had my bag packed because I had been assaulted by Ben and didn't have time to unpack, so I turned to see him watching Maya and Zed pack. I never understood his predicament... I know he despises me, but why harm Zed? It made little sense, yet red Fae's are known for their fierce tempers.
"You ready?" Riya's questions landed on me with a little grin. "Yeah, I wasn't before... but now...," I begin, turning to face everyone, "I'm ready."

We began our journey to the purple colony. It was stunning. I adored how wonderful and large the fields were, and I saw Fae from all around racing to school for their courses. Schools were erected next to each other; it's interesting how I overlooked all of this while flying. I was nearly there when I realized it was the wrong thing to do. I'm pleased I went back. I turned around and saw Riya and Maya conversing as Zed strolled next to me, and a grin spread across my face as I realized we were all together.
"I believe we turn left here?" Zed replies, clutching the map with a puzzled expression.
"Let me see that." Riya pulls it from her grasp and thinks for a while before responding,
"Yeah, it's through this minIforest." "It's a risky way we're about to take" we all
hear ben's voice from behind which gave away that he was still with us.
"Why? Is it dangerous?" Maya asks, looking at Riya. "I thought Zagoroth was safe?" They all
look at me with disdain, "spoiled little brat." Zed Laughs, rolling his eyes. "It's dangerous because Fae have a habit of kidnapping other Fae for ransom or simply killing them." Riya's words shiver up my spine. As we all approach the woodland, she advises, "Stay close everyone." We were almost there, the gates to the red colony was only beyond the forest... I was near, a smile slipped across my lips, and I kept my gaze fixed on the ground because I didn't want anybody else to see me. As I continued going, I collided into Ben, who shoved me and urged me to silence. I walked up to Riya to see what was going on and there it was, the most magnificent creature.
