"Be careful," Sangar said as they set off again. "There are all sorts of stories about what creatures live around the mountain and none of them are good believe me."<br/><br/>They headed through the forest, beginning to see the mountain looming in the distance but unable to see the peak.<br/><br/>"Venn must be up there somewhere," Muroe asked sounding slightly nervous as they entered a darker part of the forest. "We need to-"<br/><br/>"Muroe, what's wrong..." Sangar froze as he saw what had happened. All of them were slowly being trapped by vines which seemed to have appeared from nowhere. "Don't struggle," he said. "They're Firebreath vines, the more you fight the stronger their grip becomes." As he turned around again they found they were surrounded. Some were creatures they couldn't recognise but among them were nastier looking versions of creatures they knew. At their centre was a figure who looked like a fairy but with pale skin and bright red eyes. "Well, I don't think we need to ask if Venn knows we're here, that's Myska, queen of the forest sprites. She's as close to a second in command as Venn gets."
