"Yeah I'm fine" Alina replied to Lyle. She stopped staring and went to pick up her bag. The bag felt empty even though there was much inside. She slung it over her shoulder and stood by Lyle. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go."

They traveled for hours along the gravel path stopping only every few hours for rest. It was becoming night and They had found the perfect place to camp, A small pasture in the middle of nowhere. Camp had been set up and Lyle was wandering around. Alina sat in front of her tent and opened up her bag. Inside was some sets of clothes, a few books and her sword and tiara. Alina pulled them out her bag and set them aside. The sword's hilt glittered in the moonlight. She closed her bag and stood up with the sword in one hand and the tiara in the other. Alina studied the tiara and sighed. She missed her family, her home. Suddenly she became tense as she felt something crawling up her leg. She looked down and saw Sinin wrapping himself around her leg. Alina smiled and pulled him off and stuck him in the tent. Alina walked over to Lyle and stood there. Alina looked up at the sky and sighed again. She didn't notice Lyle looked at her. Lyle looked at her and smiled. He was happy. Alina brought back down her head and looked at Lyle. Lyle turned his head away quickly and became fl.u.s.tered. Alina laughed and smiled. Lyle looked back at her and said, " I have something for you."

He lead Alina back to the tents and he went into his. He came out with a book in his hands. He walked over to Alina and handed it to her. Alina looked at the cover and gasped. The cover read "The Spells of the Forbidden." Alina smiled and was so happy. She dropped the book and ran at Lyle. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled even harder. "Alina... what the?" Lyle said surprised by Alina. Lyle smiled too and hugged her back. "How did you get it. I thought the only copy was destroyed in the fire?"

"That first night we met I snuck into the castle while you slept to look at the damage. The only surviving thing was this book."

Alina let go of Lyle and started to cry. These were tears of joy. "Be glad you found if someone else did it would be disastrous."

Alina picked the book back up and held it to her chest. She walked over to her sack and put it inside. "Now Lyle I have something for you."

Alina picked up the sword off the ground and handed it to Lyle. He took it and slid it out of its sheath. The blade fluttered and shone like the moon. He sheathed it and looked at Alina, "Thank you." Alina looked back down at the ground and saw her tiara on the ground. She picked it up and stared at its blood red gems. Lyle looked at her and asked, "What is that." Alina quickly looked up and held out the tiara. Lyle took it and studied the gems. He handed it back and Alina stuck it in her bag. "We should go to bed," Alina said as she tied up her bag. "Yeah, we should," replied Lyle as he put the sword inside his tent. "Goodnight."

"Night."
