Returning to the group, Micah issues out orders; "Psy and I have three to do this, in that time I need you to take the first flower back to Haley, the Princess said that just one can prolong her life by a week." Reluctantly they agree, the twins taking the flower for safe keeping. Selina refuses to leave Micah but he explains that he needs her to be the one to check on his sister for him and pleads her to go with the group. He hides his fear of facing this mystical creature and wants everyone safe.<br/>They group part while Psy and Micah walk to the red lake, following a harpy guide. She flutters away as soon as they arrive.<br/>The lake is the colour of blood, the ground surrounding it sodden ash which clings to their boots. They approach the lake with caution, scouting for any site of the creature which seems to be submerged in the water. After an hour the creature pokes it's head from the water, it is dragon-like with a cauldron like crop filled with boiling water. As the creature emerges, it grows in tremendous size, screeching as it stretches its body. "Still sure you want to do this with me?" Micah asks quietly, half smiling.<br/><br/>The camp had been completely hidden. In the trees the group communicated through bird calls.
