Chapter three

The journey begins. Wait who's this?
__________
The siblings had been walking for a long time. It was beginning to get dark and they were still in this old dusty forest. It felt like they'd choke in the stuffyness. Large vine-like roots rose about a foot above the earth so they made slow progress, and tripped often. Their feet soon became sore with bruises and scratches. Shimmer had begun to curse and swear at the forest and its trees.

"Stupid freaking cheese lacking cannon ball filled bone yard!" She kicked at an old stump and squeaked at the pain. She heard a chuckle and looked up to glare at her brother. Zensin gave her an innocent look.

"Come on it was pretty funny." He said moving onward and Shimmer hit the back of his head.

"It is not funny when someone is in pain!" She said and Zensin laughed again and rubbed the now sore spot that she'd hit.

"It is when they cause the pain themselves. Especially when they do it by kicking an old stump." That comment earned him a punch in the arm. -Gosh why are girls so physical..- He wondered and sighed.

This was going to be a long trip.

The moon had risen into the sky when they finally broke free of the trees and saw the gate to a small town not far ahead. Zensin and Shimmer walked through the entrance and looked around. This place was lively and cheerful, a lot of mice were eating cheese and talking with friends. It made the two smile to see such a kind place.

Zensin sighed. He hadn't wanted to go back to get anything from that wretched boarding school. He now regretted it because they needed money or something to trade. He wondered if anyone would put them up for the night. While he was wondering all of this a loud clamor rang out behind him.

Spinning around he saw Shimmer and a white furred mouse with bright red hair on the floor looking very disoriented. Zensin sighed and helped Shimmer up and then offered his paw to the other mouse.

"Are you alright? What happened?" He asked and pulled the whitefurred mouse up.

"I'm fine. We bumped into each other nothing more. I apologize for such rudeness, I should have been paying attention. I am Rin, and I again apologize for bumping into you." Rin said, turning to Shimmer.

Shimmer shrugged. "It's fine, but er do you know if there's a hotel in this place? Zen and I need somewhere to stay." Rin clapped her paws together and nodded.

"Follow me! I'll take care of it, it's the least I can do. Come come." Zensin gave Shimmer a look but his sister just walked right on ahead and followed the strange mouse.

He followed behind wishing that this Rin would also provide some food.
