Belendil~

Gwen falls off her horse, unconcious. I immediately hop off to help her. She originally didn't have a horse, but we found a couple of wild horses grazing in a pasture, and decided that Gwen and Mac could take them so that they could have horses to ride.

"Gwen? What happened?" Rose asks, hopping off her horse. 

"I'm not sure. I saw those vines pop up in front of her, then go back down, them come up again, then she fell off," I say. 

"Will she be ok?" 

"I think so. She probably just fainted because she was scared," I say, not convinced. "But, wait, look at her ears. They're..."

"...pointed" Rose finishes. "We need to continue. Will Gwen be ok just to sit on her horse?" Rose's question is answered by Gwen waking up. 

"What happened?" she whispers. 

"You fell off your horse," Rose says, helping her stand up. "Your head might hurt for a couple of hours, but you should be alright." I rush over to help Rose put Gwen on her horse. After Gwen is situated in the saddle, Rose and I climb back on to continue our journey. While we are riding, more crashes and bangs issue from the giants' realm.

"We must hurry," I say, "or our time will run out." 

Misty says uhem. Ahem? You've got my attention. What do you want?

Aidan ~ I rush over blankets in hand-too late. Gwen is already sitting up looking around. I scuffle my feet in the dust. I'm such a domnoddy. Are-are you alright Gwen?" I ask meekly. "Yeah." She says, smiling at me weekly. Rose looks at me, her face confused. Then it strikes me. She has a crush on me. I blush, looking around for an escape.

None. I stoop down next to her. I pick up Gwen. As we clamber back onto our horses, Belendil asks, "How's she going to ride?" Great. I hop onto my horse, pulling Gwen up after me. "Easy." I say, with a cocky smile, hoping it will smooth things over with Rose. She glares at me for a moment. I don't want her to do that. I like her!

Rose~

We've been riding for several days now. We are all tired, dirty and hungry. We all need a change of clothes, but we didn't pack any, as we kind of didnt' plan to be saving the country. Gwen is still apparently in shock from that weird thing that happened to her ears. She hasn't said much, or eaten much. We're barely able to convince her to drink enough water to survive.

"We're running low on food!" I shout to no one in paticular. We've stopped for the night and Mac, Aidan and I are trying to find something to eat while Belendil and Gwen get some rest. We search for food and keep watch while they sleep, then in the middle of the night we swtich, they keep watch and we sleep. 

"I know that!" Mac shouts back. "I was hoping to be able to find some berry bushes or something!"

"Hey, look! Here's a couple of bushes. They look like blackberries!" I reply. 

"Great!" Mac walks over to me and picks a berry. She inspects it carefully, wipes in off on her dirty shirt (like it would do any good) and pops it in her mouth. "Yup. Definetly blackberries."

"Yes!' I squeal, cramming six or seven of them into my mouth. When I notice Aidan watching me with an amused expression, I quickly swallow my mouthful and say, "What? I'm hungry,"

Aidan shakes his head. "No, it's just that I've never seen a princess act so, relaxed, and informally. Your highness," He quickly adds, bowing slightly.

"Stand up," I say. "Don't bother with the "your highness" stuff. Just call me Rose,"

"Alright, Rose," He says, blushing slightly. When he blushes, I do too.

"Alright, lovebirds," Mac says. "We need to collect these berries and wake up Belendil and Gwen. It's almost midnight,"

"Right, of course," I say, getting my bag and filling it with berries. 

After a couple of minutes, Gwen and Belendil have woken up and taken over lookout duty. Mac, Aidan and I go to sleep, waiting to see what the next day holds.....

Misty says cowc. You're not a cow, Misty! You're a rabbit, albiet a silly one. 

Gwen~

This is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. What in the world is happening to me? Why am I all of a sudden noticing things that I haven't noticed before? Why can I hear almost everything around me? Why do I feel like I can talk to the plants, like they would do anything that I asked? Why do I feel like I could leap over trees, swim rivers, travel miles nonstop? Why are my ears suddenly pointed? And why, oh why, does it feel so good? It must be magic. That's the only way to explain it. The pool. That stupid pool. I knew that something was different the minute I climbed out of it. My whole body seems to tangle with magic, it courses through my veins and makes an eary humming noise all around me. I shake my head. I'm being ridiculous. If the Falcons could see me now........ Consorting with strangers. And I have pointed ears now. That makes me like an elf. I feel a stab of pain in my heart. I'll never be able to go back to my family, to my home, to the only people I've ever known. I'll miss them. But will they miss me? Was I ever really needed? I shake my head, as if to clear away the fog of thoughts surrounding me. The others had let me take guard duty after I insisted that I was fine. They need their sleep. The night is clear and crisp, the stars glitter like diamonds in the sky. The sweet taste of blackberries linger on my tongue. The birds sing in the trees. Fireflies glimmer and flitter. Something rustles in the distance. I turned around to see Rose coming towards me. "Can't sleep?" I ask. She nods silently. "Gwen, are you OK? You've been acting really strange since you fell in the pool." I nod. I can't tell her the truth. I can't tell any of them. Not yet.
