Chapter 9

Rohan and his companions picked themselves up from the sand. “Anyone injured?” called Nyroc cheerfully. “No one got hurt. Goodness where is the bread I packed this morning. Nyroc you better not have lost it. Clementine get up. No use lying there in the sand.” Clementine picked herself from the sand and dusted the dust off of her cloak. “It’s too bad those strangers shot my poporing though. Now we have to travel on foot.” She looked at her poporing which was in bits of jelly and purple slime. Rohan secured his belt and stood up. “Come on, there’s no use lying here all day. I’ll be first. Nyroc stay at the rear. We’ll hunt the people down that did this to us!” Eglantine and Clementine drew their daggers and scanned the surrounding area for monsters. Nyroc did a double check of his pack before making the thumbs up. “Let’s go, Rohan we’re ready” he said. Rohan scanned his eyes for the river. “Over there, I think I see the entrance.” he said and they all took off at a run.
