I am confused. Xornoth is good and Scott is evil. At first I though Ruby was joking but now I don't think so. I'm ready to die so I collapsed on the ground in a dramatic manor.
"Whoa is me," I say on the way down. Cacti slaps his forehead. It's not my fault that I'm hilarious.
"We could use some help finding our friends," Ruby answered.
"Follow me, I won't kidnap you," Xornoth said. My daddy told me about Xornoth and he was better than I expected him to be. He was nice and didn't kidnap people. Before we left Xornoth whistled for a falcon. He attached a small scroll to it and it flew off. We followed him back to the new and improved Rivendell.
"What's the falcon for? I thought Rivendell used owls." Cherry asked.
"Well traditionally we use owls but falcons are much fast, especially my personal one, Stag," Xornoth answered.
"You named a bird after a deer?" Gil said for confirmation.
"Yes," Xornoth nodded, "Now where are your friends?"
We all looked to Ruby so she said, "One's in the Undergrove, another is in the Grimlands, two of them are either at the Ocean Empire or Mezalia, and we don't know where three of them are. That's where you found us, searching for the three when evil Scott attacked."
"You say evil Scott like there's a good Scott."
"Well," I paused, "There is."
"Is there an evil Xornoth?" Xornoth asked.
"No," I said but everyone else said, "Yes."
"He's not evil to my eyes," I explained.
"So tell me about this good Scott," Xornoth invited.
"Well he's the ki-" I said but was cut off by Ruby.
"My family friend's dad's name is Scott and he saved Cherry from falling in a well. We call him Good Man Scott for that," Ruby finished.
"And this evil Xornoth character?"
"He was the one who pushed me in the well," Cherry lied. We love our well stories. Gil nodded.
Stag flew through a window and Xornoth put his arm out for him to land on. Xornoth then took the letter attached to his talons and read it. I watched as his eyes darted left and right. Once he finished, Xornoth ran over to a desk, grabbed some paper and a pen, and wrote like his life depended on it.
"Could you start a fire? I'm a little bit cold," Cacti asked. Xornoth lifted his hand and sent some sparks to the fireplace. Cacti ran over to the fire to warm himself.
"Cacti, you're in 5 layers of clothing and you need a fire? Cherry is in a tank top and skirt." I said.
"One, I live in a desert. This is not a desert. Two, My clothes have holes in them." Cacti made good points so I chose to leave it at that. Xornoth finished writing his message and as he was rolling it up I saw a drawing of evil Scott. It was an accurate drawing.
"I got a message from Queen Shrub," Xornoth said, "She's coming with your friend in the Undergrove and your friend in the Grimlands."
"This is good news," Ruby said.
"I have no idea where your other friends are though."
"That is bad news," Gil said.
"We could go search," Cherry suggested.
"That would do well. Just know that you're always welcome in Rivendell." Xornoth said.
Cacti was the first to leave, saying, "Out of the cold. Into the Unknown. Your hospitality has been great. Please tell our friends to meet at the place we left. They'll understand." We followed him outside with our elytra. I took the for the ocean.
"To Meza and Coral?" Ruby yelled over the wind. Cherry nodded.
We neared the Ocean Empire. I saw people on the largest tower. Two of them were waving at us so I landed. Everyone else followed me.
"Tiger!" Coral said happily.
"Ruby!" Meza cheered.
"Have you seen Crystal, Wilder or Dawn?" Cacti asked.
"Not since we left them at the Undergrove," Meza answered.
"Should we head back now?" Cherry said.
"But we just got here," Coral countered.
"We has an encounter with evil Scott," Ruby explained.
"You had an encounter with Scott?!" Otherworldly Lizzie said.
"Yeah," I said, trying to be cool.
"Why do you call him evil Scott?" Otherworldly Joel asked.
"Another Scott saved me from drowning in a well," Cherry responded before Meza or Coral could ruin their story.
"Let's go," I said. I took off towards Lauren Land or whatever hoping everyone else was following me.
"Wait for me!" Gil yelled, clumsy falling off the tower and getting back at my level. The flight was quiet so I decided to spice it up.
I whispered to Coral, "Water fight?" She nodded and pulled out a bucket of water and hit Cacti in the face. We laughed at his face. He started laughing as well making me see a less stern person.
On the way I noticed some ice on the ground so I dove towards it. Coral followed and inspected the ice.
"Tiger? Coral?" Said a soft voice.
"Dawn?" Coral asked, "Dawn where's Crystal and Wilder?"
She only needed one word to fill us with worry. "Scott."
