Day 2 in the Mortifying Moors.
Cielis and Hellobeast awoke at dawn to the sound of travelers passing through the camp. They knew it was time to move to their next location.
They walked for hours and hours before they found themselves lost. Passing many crocodiles who didn't pay them too much attention along the way. But maybe there was hope for them afterall. There was a tower ahead!
But no. There was not hope in this tower, indeed. In fact, quite the opposite. The yard around the tower was surrounded by strong skeletons. That should have been their cue to turn around and run to never return. However, being the brave and fearless Vah Shir's they are, Cielis and Hellobeast continued on through the smoke up the ramp into the tower court.

MISTAKE!
What a grave (literally) mistake they made! There was not help up there! There was no one to give directions! There was a walking skeleton who was covered in blood waiting to give Cielis and Hellobeast a nice beating!
(This picture is not mine. Had to Google search it. Hehe)
There was no way out, for the skeleton guards in the yard had all heard the commotion and were standing guard at the bottom of the ramp. They had to fight. It was the only way.
It was a hard battle. But they did win! They sat down and waited for the yard guards to go back into formation before they sneakily ran off to never return to that dark, demented tower.
They continued their journey into the Moors and stopped at what seemed like a peaceful place.
The calm of the area was a big relief for the weary travelers. So they rested. But little did they know what was in front of them. Wolves! Wolves in every direction!
And what's worse?? They were GHOSTS! They kept switching back and forth into ghost form and animal form! How are you suppose to successfully hit a ghost? Thankfully, they weren't as strong as they looked and they were easily taken down.
I wish I could stand here today and tell you that the ghost wolves were the last of their troubles in the Moors, but unfortunately there was a creature shrieking in the woods ahead. Pacing, waiting for the right moment to strike.
All was calm again. Cielis and Hellobeast were certain that their journey through the Moors was over... But then they heard the loudest screech that could melt brains. A screech that stopped them in their tracks and brought them to their knees in sheer agony. A screech... That will never be forgotten. And then they saw it. The creature that let out the horrible screeches. One of the main things they had been warned never to come across.
Ursula the Green Witch
They could not believe their eyes. And they could not let her find them behind her. But she had. She noticed them standing too close to her and she began chasing them at full speed.
Cielis and Hellobeast took off running to get out of the Moors. Enough was enough!
Ursula was behind them every step of the way.
The ground shook from her thunderous screeches. Cielis and Hellobeast falling to their knees everytime she screeched. Their minds numb and their bodies aching, they ran as fast as they could.
After running for what seemed like forever they saw it. The knowledge book! They ran and finally were free from the grasp of Blightfire Moors. Safe in the beautiful Plane of Knowledge.
In the library, Cielis wrote a note.
