SHORT RECAP OF THE LAST CHAPTER : the gang had started traveling, and decided to take a small break in the forest. Mirabel went up ahead to check for danger, and instead she found her sister! and that resulted in Mirabel using too much power and passing out. and that brings us here. RECAP OVER
Narrator POV
when Mirabel woke up she found they were in a yunika, (it's their worlds word for train!) "oh, Mirabel you're awake." said lee with a warm smile "yeah, I'm awake. now can you tell me what happened while I was out?" Mirabel asked, while still having a headache from over using her power. "well... ehhmm..." said lee starting to look away. "lee?" asked Mirabel, but Mirabel had a feeling she wasn't going to answer her. so she did the next most logical thing : ask the one who can't hide anything to save their life, Marco. "hey buddy, can you tell me what happened while I was asleep? lee isn't giving me answers." "OH! sure friend! so basically-" Marco then started to tell her what happened, and the more he said the more Mirabel would be uhm how do I put this? happy, upset, angry, relieved and confused at the same time? "so you're telling me that you didn't try to hide my blazing horns?" asked Mirabel in shock of what Marco just told her, apparently, the group decided to just get to the yunika not concealing the horns or wings! and then everyone freaked out and left even the driver of the yunika! "uhm wait, even the driver? then who is driving the yunika?" asked Mirabel, which is a very good question! "oh, cassie is driving." what? since when could cassie drive a train? isn't she seventeen? "where did she learn to drive?" asked Mira, Marco then answered, with a flashback!!!
a little bit ago (the entire scene after Mirabel passed out.)
"Calm down, it doesn't look like anything bad, it might just be that she fainted from over use of one's power." said lee, "alright but what do we do now?" asked Liam starting to sound calmer now that lee was there. "ehhmm... let's get to the yunika station and get to Myrid, and we will go from there sound good?" she asked the group. they all agreed, they didn't really know what to do about this either. they then proceeded to carry Mirabel to the station (cassie and Liam were carrying her with a strength enhancing spell from lee, she is a witch with class of course.) when they to the yunika station most people were already on it, when they got on the yunika.... they all started screaming and running out of the yunika even the driver of the yunika freaked out! "huh, how do we get to Myrid now?" asked Liam. "ohhh, this is a train!" said cassie, realizing that a yunika is a train, "apparently so." answered Lee. "I know how to drive a train, but I don't know how to get to our destination." said cassie. "I can point you in the right direction, I think I remember how to get there." said Liam, "that's great than you two can drive/be our guide and we will be chilling in the back." said Lee. "and what about Mirabel?" asked Marco, surprisingly he wasn't smiling. (do his cheeks hurt now?) "she will be with us, ok Marco?" said lee, "ok..." answered Marco.
after that they carried Mirabel into the yunika and cassie and Liam went to drive it to Myrid.
FLASHBACK OVER!
"that is one hell of a story.... I'm gonna go check on cassie and Liam." said Mirabel, being pretty shocked from the story she just heard. and still tired from over using her power she was walking kind of... weird? "Mirabel!" said cassie, "nice to see you're awake, feeling any better?" cassie in the meanwhile was hugging Mirabel. "I have a headache and my legs are wobbly, but other than that I'm fine." answered Mirabel with a smile to Liam's question. "good to hear, do you need something? or did you just want to check on us?" "both, how long until we get to Myrid?" it was almost night time now, since the sun was setting. "I would say about 4-5 hours more? we will get there at around, 01:55 midnight, since we got here pretty late." said Liam. "but we should talk about what we will do when we get to Myrid beforehand, they do have some annoying guards..." said Mirabel with a frown, but then she looked back at cassie and smiled again, she also noticed that cassie fell asleep. "cassie's asleep, I'll take over for a bit." said Mirabel. as she carried cassie back to lee, "you know how to drive?" asked Liam. "yeah... I was bored so I took some lessons." she said as she sat down on the driver's seat. "don't you need sleep too Liam?" asked Mirabel, "no, I don't need sleep... I am the hero after all...." he looked down when he said that, most people would be proud of being the hero, it seems that he is hiding something. "if you wanna talk about, just say the word and I will be there for yak." said Mira, "huh, uhm... thanks for that." he said smiling a bit. "oh and you have to take a left on this turn." Mirabel turned the yunika to the left and they started to chat about somethings, mostly happy.
after about 5 hours they got to Myrid and woke up the rest of the group.

"alright, let's head in." I said, having concealed us with a spell, the guards here at Myrid are the furthest thing from friendly, or well close to. "and stay quiet or we will be caught." I said as we started to sneak in, it was actually working. after a little while when we were past the borders. "alright that should be it, now where do we go again?" I ask Mirabel since she has a plan. "we head to the under-side-moon inn, remember the first night is free." it seems like Mirabel has been to that inn before, I might be wrong about that though. after a bit of walking/sneaking around we got to the inn and our invisibility ran out. we went inside, "hello good sir, may we get some rooms for one night?" asked Mirabel, with a smile. not sure if it's a genuine one though.... "why of course miss, under what name(s)?" "Orion" cassie budded in "alright, here are you're keys then don't lose them!" the inn keeper said, after that me and the rest headed up to our rooms, we had gotten 3 (the only ones remaining.) me and cassie decided to share Marco and Liam shared theirs and Mirabel got the remaining one. since she is the tallest and such.
we spent the night there and all woke up at around 11 in the morning since we got there pretty late, or well everyone except for Liam slept, he just stayed awake and kept watch because, he was 'skeptic' of the inn keeper for some reason.
"so how did you guys sleep?" asked Mirabel who seemed to have fully recovered by now. "I slept quite nicely, and you two?" I asked Marco and cassie. "still tired...." said cassie yawning again. "pretty great but ehhmm... I need some water..."
narrator pov
oh right! he is a merman, err fish whatever you want to call him, either way he needs water. "oh right! here you go." said Liam as he made a magic water bubble and practically threw it in Marco's face! that did make sure he wouldn't need water for a while longer but it also made his scales glow bright aqua/teal seemed almost like blush....? they then moved on from that and went to go around the town, beside getting a night's rest and such they didn't have any plans. or money for that fact. "so what do we do now?" asked cassie, the group them looked at each other before shrugging, having their faces say : "I don't know." "that...." cassie then sighed. from then on they didn't know what to do until....
"there they are!" what? wait, who just said that? "eh?" said cassie. "run!" shouted Mirabel. they of course followed her, running real fast from : the guards!
after a bit of running from the guards they seemed to have lost them. "why the heck were they chasing us?!" asked cassie quietly shouting "do I look like I-" "guys look." Liam said as he cut off Mirabel from finishing her sentence
*It was a wanted poster of Cassie,* (I don't know how to uploud pictures here yet so bare with me ;-;)
"damn.... do I really look like that? I'm not that pale right?!" "no but the eyes are almost spot on." said Marco who was now on lee's back yet again (the next chapter is not a chapter just character details (: ) "that's not the point! cassie is literally wanted!" said Liam "you have a point, so now what do we do?" asked Lee. "well I can't be out in public now apparently." that sucks, but now they were stuck on what to do next.
