Lizzy was slightly devastated. Chala and Seryn were gone and she had really liked them. She wished they could have stayed at least a little longer with them. She was also confused. What was that 'Red Rose' business they were talking about? Was it her? That surely didn't make sense... Lizzy shook her head to clear her mind then smiled up at Night. He looked back down at her and squeezed her hand lightly as his eyes beamed at her.
"So, should we go ahead and start before it gets dark? Maybe we can reach Kandai before then if we hurry! I hope she has some of that fruit we ate earlier. I could eat it for hours."
Lizzy grinned and started walking forwards, slightly dragging Night with her. She giggled and kept pulling him along until he finally took the hint and caught up. Trying to puff her chest out, she took quicker and slightly longer strides to match Night's tall pace.
They walked for several hours, taking small breaks whenever they happened to come across a small stream or other water source. At first Lizzy was the one leading Night, but after a small while, he took the lead. Lizzy had started to gaze about at everything, taking all the different things in. She hadn't thought there could be anything new to look at after doing so for hours, but there were.
Even more vibrantly colored flowers and plants mingled with each other. Lizzy had found a new favorite that has large yellow petals that were triangular. In the middle of the petal a lime green zig zag pattern extended towards the tip of it.
Dark eventually crept up on them. Lizzy sighed tiredly. She had hoped that they would reach the cliffs by nightfall, but it seemed the distance was much further then they had thought. Or else they were lost...
She really hoped that wasn't the case, but there was not telling. She waited until she could hear the sound of running water before tugging on Night's hand. "Why don't we stop here for the night? We shouldn't completely tire ourselves out to get there in one go." She paused and let out a big yawn. "Plus... I'm sleepy..."
