Trek To A New Home

Hello. I've had enough of this filthy Castle of Peace. So Solarius and I packed our backpacks and hiked along a trail through some bushes. Sooner or later, we walked into a fork in the path. One arrow led to some houses. The right arrow led to, well, the right. We couldn't see where it led to. And in tiny print in the right arrow: Beware of this path! Most villagers have never came back. Well, we won't be going there. Solarius didn't detect any cold presence, so I guess we're safe for now. Solarius and I walked to the left arrow. The houses were part of a very peaceful village. A casual village. We just strolled in and no one really noticed the new people (us) in their home. Solarius walked in. One of the houses. I tarted to protest,"Solarius... I wouldn't go there if I were you..." But she didn't seem to hear. And plus I was losing her with the amount of people walking around. No choice. I walked in the small house. A girl and probably her teacher were studying a map. There were a whole bunch of books around, yada yada... I'm not much for schools. The girl (apparently named Rosa) noticed us. Apparently we looked practically homeless.

Betrayal

Hello. -shiver- Solarius and I have been cold and starving for 3 days. Not much for a Moon Wolf and a Sun Wolf. But still. We're living in an eerie, evil-filled, empty place. Solarius has suggested moving, but I would prefer not to. Something has me going about Dusk and Nightstar. Dusk is the leader of the Castle of Peace. Dusk is a Shadow. Nightstar's side is the only enemy that can destroy our protective magic spells. Like a teacher to a student, I asked Solarius: "What do all those things mean?" Her laziness and sleepiness overcame her. "Stick, STICK! Elves stole stick... Break cat...Stars... Trees.... Stick and hide and seek..." Poor thing. Too dumb to even say sense. I ate another piece of cold mouse meat and I went back to bed. It was the first time I ever had a dream.
It was about my parents. I was in a dark, cold dungeon. My mother, Katie, (sorry I didn't say so before, Katie is a Sun Wolf like me. "Tom, you can't do that! What about the chicks?" A deep voice came from the shadows. "Do not worry. They will be in my care..." and a cackle filled the air. That was it.
Wow. What a nice dream. I shuddered. I think Solarius was right about moving out. This place gives me nightmares. I checked on Solarius's bed. Finally she was awake. I told her about moving out and she immediately said she'd get the stuff. Hmm. I should ask her about the Elves and Sticks happening. A backpack had suddenly appeared in my pack with a water bottle, junk food, including pretzels, and some cough drops. I asked Solarius,"How'd you do that?" She just shrugged and smiled as if holding a secret. Then I asked her,"What did you mean about the elves and sticks thing?"
Bam. The answer hit my head like a bomb and immediately I knew what she meant.

Who is Evil? Who is Good? Who are just plain.... Smelly?

Ok. Back from our 2 week long festival. It was.... Boring. Nothing to do. Boring masks.
Anyway, we finally came back to the castle. The shadow(who's name was Dusk, as she has given us) showed us around the castle once more. She told us about the secret passageways, and which traps and which secrets they hold. She told us about the artillery, and what they do. She told us about the Room of the Past, which holds all the happenings of Tori since the beginning of time. She told us of the secret meeting place. And finally, she told us of the magic that Toris have long forgotten until now. The whole trip, Solarius fidgeted around nervously. "The presence of evil lies around here's just waiting, waiting anxiously to sneak up on us.", she had told me. Even I, too, had felt a shudder of cold once in a while. But it couldn't be Dusk. Right?
The next morning, there wasa huge surprise. Everything, everything Dusk had showed us was destroyed. The magic walls that once protected us as well as the army were nowhere to be seen. Solarius was still sleeping. That sleepyhead. I mean, Moon wolves are nocturnal. They stay up at night. But if they ever wake up in the mornings they would slouch around and act like a living dummy. But the weird thing came only last. No one was around but us. I went back to my bedroom where Solarius was. Huh. I thought Solarius was sleeping in her bed. Then I remembered something. When Dusk had taught us about the history and magic of Tori in the Room of the Past,she mentioned something about Moon wolves teleporting randomly, getting the hang of it as they get older until they reach full maturity. Well, at least I know Solarius isnt mature enough. That made me laugh softly. But the eerie silence except for fire crackling and Solarius snoring had a presence of evil. Nothing, nothing except Nightstar's army would break that wall. Especially not without throwing a whole bunch of cheeseburgers and pickles and then kicking it a trillion times. But still, we would have felt,heard. And saw it,. Who was the enemy?
