called his Master. Kerwyn looked over to where his master was standing near one of the edge of the forest and saw Master Sernett holding up a couple of bunches of glowing flowers.
“Ha ha, I found some of the flowers that we started out looking for. I had forgotten about looking for them during our run through the forest trying to escape the wolves. Now I can make the healing potions that I wanted these flowers for. Boil me some water so that I can begin making them.”
Kerwyn went over to his Masters pack and removed a small pot that he used for making his potions. Next he pulled out the small water sack they used for their drinking water. After setting up the pot above the small fire, he poured the water into the pot and waited for his master to come over and bring the flowers. A few more time, Kerwyn felt the draw on the One Power and he saw that the sigils had all been set up around the clearing which made it invisible from searching eyes.
After watching his master make the healing potions, Kerwyn counted off fifteen little vials of the precious liquid that lay on the ground cooling. Kerwyn thought to himself that until they got out of the evil forest, those little vials might be the only thing between life and death for him and his master.
“Kerwyn, we have an hour till first light so why don’t you try and get some rest? I’ll wake you in a couple of hours when the sun is up and shining brightly. I don’t want to set off again until it is light enough in the forest to see our footing. Hopefully the undead things moving around in the forest tonight will find somewhere to hide from the sun for the day. I really don’t want to have to battle every evil creature from here to the Forest Elves if I don’t have too.”
“Ok Master, I will try and get some sleep but I don’t know how I will ever get to sleep knowing there are dead creatures out there in the forest wanting to kill us.” Kerwyn rummaged around, set up his sleeping roll and eventually climbed under it and laid down.
“Master?” asked Kerwyn
“Yes, Kerwyn,” answered Master Sernett, as he turned toward his apprentice, noticing how much Kerwyn had grown since that first day he had been left on his step. He also thought back to how lonely he had been before Kerwyn had come into his life and now he couldn’t imagine a life with out him in it. Kerwyn was like a son to him.
“Do you think the Forest Elves will really help? I mean the Fairy Queen said that they are in hiding and that they won’t welcome us. It sounded to me like they won’t even come out to talk to us.”
“I know it’s a risk but one that we have to take if we are to have any hope of stopping the evil from taking over the world. We have to find a way to get the elves to come to their senses. You heard what the Fairy Queen said; that we will need all of the good creatures to unite and that includes the elves. For without all the good creatures we are surly going to lose this war between good and evil. Now roll over and try and get some sleep; you’ll be up soon enough and you have all day to ask me questions. Remember she said that it was about a day’s walk away.”
“Yes Master, wake me when you are ready to go.”
With that, Kerwyn rolled over, and thought about all the day’s events. With a grin he recalled that the Fairy Queen had really had kissed him. Just as he drifted off to sleep, his last memory was of her, one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, pressing her lips to his.

KEEPING ONE EYE OPEN
“Ok Kerwyn, time to get up. I let you sleep for about three hours. We need to get going, first light was about an hour ago.” Master Sernett nudged Kerwyn in the shoulder with the toe of his shoe.
Kerwyn rolled over, opened his eyes and noticed that it looked like it was going to be a rainy day. The sun he had expected was still hiding in behind the clouds. The feeling that the forest was still in pain was equally as strong as it had been
