my job. I
guess I will be seeing you around.” Kevin said as he stood up and
left the table.
    “Okay, go meet your boss.”
    Wow, this guy is really something. I guess we
won’t be seeing around. He is really cute. But I guess I have to
lose something to get another.
    Evalle continued eating her food when she saw
Kevin waving at her from a corner of the room. She smiled at him
and let her eyes focus back on the delicious meal that was almost
finished. She dropped the fork on her plate and stood up to leave
the table, when he signaled to her to meet him outside.
    She stood up and picked her bag, it was heavy
because of the numerous clothes. Walking across the room, she
mustered some words. “Wow, this is really heavier than I
thought.”
    When Evalle stepped out of the room, she
acknowledged the presence of the air that swept her skin. She sat
on a block that was few meters away from the restaurant and waited
for Kevin to come out.
    She rested her head against a pillar, still
enjoying the way the breeze felt against her skin. Her eyelids were
shutting gradually even though she tried to stop them. She finally
forgot everything and fell asleep.
    She saw herself going through a path to a
place that looked very different. She already knew she was going to
see something strange because it certainly felt strange.
    “Where are you taking me to?” She screamed
aloud. When Evalle heard nothing, she tried to turn back, but her
body kept moving forwards and towards a bright light.
    I don’t know who is taking me or where it is
taking me to. Oh my God! This is horrible.
    Her body just continued moving. When she got
to a spot, it didn’t look like light anymore. Evalle saw her mother
sitting at a corner and knitting a cap. She saw herself playing
with a man that she hadn’t seen before.
    She began to hear a voice calling her which
she believed was that of the man. She replied him but he didn’t
seem to pay much attention to her. She then felt a tap on her
shoulder.

    Emily felt the rain splatter against her skin
as she ran around, seeking for shelter. She had been on the road
for some hours. No one was on the road and she only saw few houses.
This place is so deserted, what happened here?”
    She saw a small shop and ran into it. The
rain seemed to be increasing as the water was getting to her knees.
Emily brought the map out of her bag and began to look at it. “This
is where a dove is, I think I know this place. I am to look for
statues of doves or places where doves can be found together. I
know a lot of geography. The first one should be located few miles
from here.”
    “What about the Ostriches? What am I to do
about them?” Emily looked out of the empty shop and saw that the
rain was about to stop.” She looked back at the map.
    Follow the path of Light
    “Is there a path of light?” Path of Light,
path of light, path of light, path of. . . “Oh, I am to use my
magic to cast a spell on this map. I am perfect at that.” Emily
said as she chuckled aloud. Emily placed the paper on a dry table
and began to cast the spell.
    A path appeared on the map as Emily yelped in
joy. She hurriedly left the shop and began her journey.
    She walked down the sloppy terrain as she
began to hear voices ahead. She continued moving. ”No one knows I’m
on a mission. So I have nothing to worry. I just have to deal with
Kujoo.” The voices were getting louder.
    A lot of people were carrying something in
their hands. Emily moved closer to have a better view. She left her
mouth agape when she saw it. What are these guys doing with dead
bodies? This is very weird. According to the map, I am supposed to
pass this path.
     
    Emily was frightened out of her skin when she
heard a loud voice. “Hey, you there, Why are you standing and doing
nothing? Come and join your mates.”
    Is he talking to me? I don’t think so. Emily
turned and started walking away when she saw the man in her front.
“I believe I was talking to
