LOGINDuring this time Grayson was staring at Chunhua, almost rudely for he never saw anyone so exotic and glamorous. Lance stole a glance at his brother, and shoved him a bit, knocking him out of his reverie. Lance grinned at Grayson, and Grayson just frowned at him.Finally, Lance came forward and asked, "Umm, I don't mean to interrupt, but do all of you want to join us for lunch? We have this buck here Grayson caught. It's the least we can do."Annchi smiled and replied, "We love to," before the others could deny.Lanying, Sir Reginald, and Chunhua looked at her like she was crazy. Lanying thought that Annchi was too trusting sometimes. Sir Reginald thought that Annchi's innocence could lead her into danger. Chunhua was just mad at the thought of dining with untrusting, thieving outlaws. Lance saw the three's reaction, and really could not blame them. He was thankful that he has a better chance to get to know Annchi though,
During this time Lanying and Sir Reginald kept looking at Lance with suspicion. Lance grinned and walked up to Annchi before taking her hand."It's a pleasure." he said before kissing her hand gently.Annchi blushed from head to toe. The feel of his lips sent a tingly feeling throughout her body. Several of the other outlaws giggled a bit. Lanying wasn't too happy. She started go over when Lance let go of Annchi's hand and stepped back. He saw the girl coming toward them out of the corner of his eye. He liked Annchi's reaction. The lady was as red as an apple. Annchi soon recovered."Uh, this is my friend Lanying and Sir Reginald of Cranston." she answered.Lanying kept her hand to herself when she was introduced. Despite the stern look on Sir Reginald's face, he bowed. That very minute, they heard a yell."Hey boss! Look what I found!" shouted an outlaw as he came into view.
"Well, well, what have we here? Trespassers?" he replied with a sly grin.Sir Reginald frowned at him before saying, "We certainly are not! We're just passing through.""Oh really? Well then you'll have to pay a toll.""Why?""Because this is our land, and if anyone wishes to cross it, then they're going to have to pay a toll. Now, if you don't mind, how about sharing some of that food there?" asked Lance as he and his man started to close in."Leave my friends alone!" someone shouted.The outlaws backed off and everyone turned to see Annchi. Annchi was pretty angry. Normally she was very calm, but whenever someone was threaten, her temper would rise like wild fire. Lance was the first person to spot her. When he saw her, he barely managed to hide his reaction for it was instant. It was like a boulder hit him on the head. The woman before him looked like an a
They made their way toward Radan Mountains. While traveling, Lanying did most of the talking, and every now and then Sir Reginald commented on something. Annchi was silent through the entire way there. She was deep in thought about the trip there. She knew that something big was going to happen. She just did not know when. It took them a day to make it there. It was just before lunch time when they made it."Now what do we do? We can't leave the horses behind." Lanying said."There's a path over there." Annchi pointed."All right! Now we're getting somewhere.""Shh! We should be quieter here." warned Sir Reginald."All right."They followed the path until they reached a nearby creek."Oh, I'm tired. Can we stop and rest, please?" asked Lanying."Very well, but we cannot rest for too long." answered Sir Reginald.
Annchi opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed was the sun peaking through the curtains. She quickly got up and saw some new clothes on the dresser. It was a pair of trousers, a jerkin, vest, and undergarments. There was a pair of boots next to the dresser. She dressed then brushed her long hair out. As she finished up, she heard Lanying knocking on the door."Good morning, Annchi. Ready for breakfast?" she asked after opening the door.She was wearing new garments too."Oh yes."The two friends head downstairs and were soon greeted by Sir Reginald and King Charles."Good morning, ladies. Sit down please." insisted the king as they led them to the table."I'm starved!" commented Lanying."Don't worry Miss Lanying. Breakfast will come out soon." assured Sir Reginald.Soon their breakfast arrived. After they ate, t
"Legend has it," the jester began, "That you need the Crystal of Life in order to find the lost unicorn. In order to find the crystal, you have to find three stones: water, fire, and wood. These stones are found in places of the old world before the Evil One took over. After all three stones are collected, you must place them in the Temple of Buddha. Only then will the Crystal of Life will appear. The crystal will lead you to the unicorn. That's what has been told."After a few more songs, everyone went up to their rooms. While Annchi and Lanying went up to their quarters, they talked about the legend."I suppose that in order to find the unicorn we need to find those three stones first." guessed Annchi."Yeah, but how do we find them?""Well, the jester said that they are found in places of the old world. There are three of them, so it has to be three places that stayed the same after the Invasion.
