Chapter 6: Dangers on the Road

The pixies saw this, and quickly flew between Arthur and the wolf’s jaws, catching Arthur and lifting him away. They brought him in another tree and went back to fight the wolf. They jabbed at it with such speed that the wolf didn’t have enough time to kill any pixies. The pixies buzzed around it, jabbing, as the wolf swatted the air with a paw, unable to get any. Finally, the pixies all formed a circle around the wolf, and went in for the kill.

            They returned safely, and up until the end of the forest Arthur told everyone about the wolf. At the end of the forest was a calm dirt road, the only place with few monsters or creatures. In fact, for the past month, there hadn’t been any except for three, and with that in mind, they took the dirt road, knowing that it was their best option.

            They walked along exchanging stories and jokes to pass the time, not to mention the singing (they did little of that, because, although the odds were slim, they didn’t want to attract any monsters.) It was long, but they made it halfway across the road before the sun started to set; then they camped for the night.

“Psst! Over here! I need to tell you something important.” Arthur whispered. Nobody heard him, because they were too far ahead, and he was too scared to turn his back on the wolf. He decided to face the situation like a man and held his stick in a fighting position. The eyes came closer and closer, got bigger and bigger. Soon, Arthur could see the wolf’s face. The same moment the wolf leaped at him, Arthur held the stick horizontally, stopping the wolf’s jump. The wolf landed on the stick, scraping it, and started to lunge at Arthur. Every time the wolf attacked, Arthur successfully blocked the stick, and backed away each time until he was against a tree. He had to climb the tree, but that would be a great risk, so, to distract the wolf, he threw the stick at it and scrambled up.

            Elsewhere, along with the rest of the group, the pixies hadn’t let their guard down, either, and noticed that someone was missing. So they flew back, the rest unaware of this, and saw Arthur in a tree, with a wolf at the bottom.

            Arthur wanted to jump to injure the wolf. As he leaped, the wolf opened its jaws in the air, ready to catch its meal.

Early the next day, at precisely 7:00, the team headed out to continue their epic quest. They passed different animals, none of which Arthur, nor Amy had ever seen. The whole time Luxor was telling Arthur and Amy about the Ordox, and Xavier didn’t deny it, assuring the kids that it wasn’t a stretch of Luxor’s imagination. They neared the end, so everyone looked ahead. The only one who kept their guard up was Arthur. Arthur had picked up a thick, large stick for a reason, and that reason was to stop any enemies.

He looked towards the trees and saw a pair of glowing eyes, which belonged to a wolf. Arthur stopped and turned around, but no one seemed to notice. He didn’t want to make any noise, just in case he alerted something else, so he started to whisper.

“On the count of three, jump!” Xavier ordered over the roaring wind.

“What?!?” Luxor asked.

“…Two, three!” The two jumped and landed on a tree. They looked over and watched the dead body hit the ground with such force that a very large dust cloud arose. The rest was simple: they just had to climb down the tree, swinging on branches, sliding don it like a pole, and using branches as steps. When they got to the bottom, the checked to see if the kids were asleep, and sure enough, they were.

“You saved my life!” Xavier exclaimed.

“It was nothing.” Luxor tried to sound humble.

“No, really!”

“I couldn’t have done it without you.” For once the two smiled at each other.

“ Let’s do this again.”

“Anytime.”

“Even now?”

“I’ve had enough for tonight.” And with that, the two laughed as they headed off to get whatever hours of sleep was left.

“Xavier!” Luxor cried as Xavier fell to the ground. Angry, Luxor pulled his sword out of its sheath and went on a rampage. He charged the Ordox, and slashed it across the back. The Ordox felt the pain, and fought back with its talons. It was a tough struggle, but finally, the Ordox grabbed Xavier with its talons, and started to fly. Luxor could see the bird-man making off with his ‘friend,’ so when he was within grasp of Xavier’s foot he grabbed it, putting some more weight on it. It made things harder, but with determination, it lifted both of them and soared higher than the trees. At the same time, it was struggling to fight the two swords coming at it. Luxor managed to climb around it to its back, and as it was distracted by Xavier, he stabbed it in the head. All at once, the world seemed t be moving faster as the three plunged to the ground.
