text: "My sister needs to bear responsibility of her actions," is what you thought. "This is a good life lesson for her. She shouldn't get into fights without thinking of the consequences."
  
  Even though you dared not make a move against the village leader, your sister stood up for herself. As the village leader was about to take his leave, she told him wait. She could not look at the village leader's face and was looking at the ground instead. Moonlight had just called out to the old man without respect, demanding he waits without properly addressing him. She could've worded her statement more respectfully, addressed the old man according to his position; but she didn't. Moonlight was scared. Despite everything, the village leader decided to overlook the disrespectful wording of the 9 year old and listen to what she had to say. With silent anger dwelling on his face, he turned around and asked her what she wants. Still looking at the snow cover ground, your sister asks to be given a last chance to remain in the village. A chance to redeem herself. After careful consideration, the village leader decided to agree on her proposal. He was sure that it wasn't only her involved in the incident, and that Moonlight deserves a second chance in living here since she asked.
  
  "Then, you shall leave this village in search of another Barrier Stone fit to replace the one you caused us to lose," said Rock's grandpa calmly (despite the anger still evident on his face).
  
  "Okay! I shall bring back another Barrier Stone to pay for my thoughtless actions!" States Moonlight with determination, finally lifting her view off the ground.
  
  Slowly every villager returned to their work or home, including Rock and his grandpa. When they were alone, the village leader talked for a bit with Rock. Telling him that he needs watch his own actions and protect his reputation among the villagers better. This incident was over without harm their bloodline, but they still need be careful. However, words can only do so much in this situation. Rock did not learn a thing, he faced no responsibility.
  
  Two hours later, Moonlight had packed all that she'll need on her journey. She packed: a change of clothes, a scarf, gloves, socks, a packet of different medicinal herbs, dried meats, dried fish, bread, a large sack of water, three knives, a fire starting rock, a blanket, and a tent. After saying good-bye to both Auntie White and you, she headed out with her large wild cat pet "Silky". You get this weird depressing feeling and start to think that maybe you should follow your sister.
  
  > Will follow her
  You had a depressing feeling that simply kept getting stronger. It was hard to just leave your 9 year old sister go alone, so you decided that for now you'll secretly follow her. Knowing that leaving the village without permission and going to help your sister under punishment is against the rules, you still couldn't remain silently sitting. Quickly you pack some extra clothes, dry foods, water, thick sleepbag, fire starter, and two daggers. Dressed in your warmest animal skin jacket, boots, and gloves; you trace Moonlight's steps. It wasn't snowing, so her boot prints were as clear as day. After a good long jog, you sister is finally in your view. She was setting her camp as the night was creeping closer.
  
  Wrapped in your cozy and thick sleepbag, you watched as Moonlight went into her tent after lighting a small fire. Behind a close by tree, you go to sleep with relief calming your heart. The next day began for you at the break of dawn. Even though the sun had just began rising into the darkish blue sky, sitting up you Moonlight was already packed up and about to head out. As fast as you can you try to get out of your sleepbag, but then you fall face forward into the freezing cold snow covering the land. To your surprise, your legs did not move. They were numb from cold. You hadn't made a fire because of the fear of being discovered, however, that proved to be a big mistake. Now you sister will travel further, and you'll lose her track before being able to move again. Suddenly a roar of a wild beast fills you ears. In a fluster you push yourself up with your arms only to see Silky change her expression from an angry beast ready to pounce, to that of a calm animal. She recognized you.
  
  "Who knew that you'd follow me," laughed Moonlight in delight.
  
  "Of course I did! I'm your older sibling, and I care about you," you nervously reply.
  
  "Why are you laid there on the ground, half in the sleepbag?"
  
  "Well, my legs are numb due to the cold. I also didn't light a warm fire last night," was your honest answer.
  
  "Alright then, let me help you. I have a menti leafs ointment that can warm your legs up if I apply it to your toes," said Moonlight while taking out an ointment from her pack.
  
  Though the morning crisp air blew around you bare toes at first, it soon had no effect. After your sister put some ointment on your toes, both your legs brimmed with heat. You felt as though your leg muscles and bones within began burning. A sensation that lasted for five minutes felt like ten instead. Putting your socks back on, you wondered how Moonlight plans to find a Barrier Stone.
  
  "So where exactly are we heading next, Moonlight?"
  
  "I'm planning to go to the Ancient Lake!" she answers with enthusiasm.
  
  "The Ancient Lake? Isn't that from our villages old fantasy books?" you ask with confusion.
  
  "Oh, you know? Well those fantasies written in some of our old books are the only clues I have available," she replies.
  
  "If we reach the Ancient Lake and don't find the legendary wish granter, don't be too disappointed little sister,"
  
  "No worries. If we don't start somewhere, we'll never get anywhere!"
  
  You siblings continue heading up the mountain in search of the Ancient Lake. It is written in an old book that the Ancient Lake lies on the biggest mountain, shimmering like many jewels. There're guardians that guard the wish granter too. After 5 days of travel up the mountain cloaked in snow and spotted with trees, it seemed that the ;and stopped slopping upward. It was midday, and up ahead seemed like an open area where the trees are not dense anymore. Gleaming with joy, Moonlight runs ahead along with Silky into that opening. It wasn't too long till you caught up with them, but what awaited you indescribable! It was a frozen lake as huge as the sea. Silver white and glimmering like a field of gems under the sunlight. It was all surrounded by a circular mountain range acting a natural barrier. The view before you was spectacular like no other you've seen in your life. Exactly across of the lake in front of you is what seems like a pile of brown stones. Your little sister also takes notice of those. Despite it being the Winter Continent, there are rocks not covered by snow. Thinking that some barrier and Barrier Stones exist around the brown snowless stones, you siblings decided to walk around the frozen lake to get them. Barely halfway to those stones you both stop in your tracks. The Fanged Wolves howls began echoing around. In mere seconds you were all running away from a full horde of Fanged Wolves. Moonlight tripped on a tree root slightly above the ground. Though a Fanged Wolf jumped on her, she was able to take out 2 of her knives and use them to fend off his mouth. You run back and kick the wolf off your sister. Quickly pulling her up as Silky fends off the near by wolves, you then continued running until the Fanged Wolves chased you no more. As night was nearing, and you were all out of breath; you decided to set camp where you were. A place surrounded by many trees as coverage.
  
  After the fire and tent were set, you tended to Silky's injuries from the chance. Moonlight looked a little out of it. Even though you received no injuries, both Silky And Moonlight were full of scratches. Without warning Moonlight collapsed! You call to her, without use. She doesn't answer or open her eyes. That's when you notice a remarkable red trail behind Moonlight. Both her arms had big scratches, bleeding. Panic takes over mind. You wonder if some bad bacteria got into the injury.
  
  > search bags for medicinal herbs
  The best course of action to take is to at least minimally treat your little sister's wounds. So then you thoroughly search the bags for all the medicine you currently posses. The most useful find was some dried disinfectant leaves, injury sealing ointment, and a little bandage roll. First you mixed some of the disinfectant dry leaves with some of the sealing ointment, then put it on to your sister's arms. She winced in pain even though she was still unconscious. That means that the medicine is good. Next, you wrapped her arms with the bandage. Your minimal treatment was complete! Later that night, Moonlight developed a little fever. You put some snow into your spare glove, and used it to cool her down. The next morning she woke up as if nothing had happened. Relievd you took some dry bread out for breakfast, and heated it a little on the camp fire.
  
  This time, you both decided to run as fast as you can to those brown rocks with a wooden shield and dagger in hand. When you reached the lake again, you executed your plan quickly. Just as you expected, the Fanged Wolves attacked again. Likely you survived until you reached the rocks without a single scratch. As soon as you reached those strange stones, the Fanged Wolves stopped chasing. With a closer look at those snowless stones, you notice that they might have been a building before. A huge building at that. Moonlight was almost positive that the frozen lake is the Ancient Lake, the Fanged Wolves are the guardians, and the wish granter must be inside these ancient ruins. Finding a slanted opening, you, Moonlight, and Silky enter the ruins of a building. After walking in a dark hallway with no light except that which came from cracks in the roof, you finally reach a chamber. The moment you all stepped into the center of the chamber, a door loudly came down blocking your way back.
  
  "In front of you are 4 paths. There is but 1 that give you your desired. Which is it that you desire?" spoke an strange, but strong voice. His words echoed off the walls.
  
  It seemed that you have only 4 levers in front of you, which means each one represents a different path. One was had a rugged gold knob. Another had a rugged stone knob. The other had a smooth and shiny ruby knob. One was a glass knob that reflects images like a mirror. Moonlight and you choose...
  
  > Rugged Gold
  The stone walls beging to shake, and small crubles are falling. Suddenly the groud opens and you all fall. You moved the wrong knob and fell into a trap hole in return. Not just any traphole, and endless and dark one. Once a decision was made, you cannot go back in time.
