Astoria reluctantly took Blindfold's arm, her grip firm. She prepared herself for whatever was going to happen.

Astoria blinked. "What? He is?" Astoria got up, throwing her cloak over her shoulders. She was about to wake up Kaster, but hesitated. She scribbled a note and let it fall onto her bed. "I'm coming with you. He's gonna need all the help he can get." she stood three feet away from him, a feirce...

Astoria had led Blindfold up into their treehouse, making a pallet for him to sleep on. Her and Kaster's beds were in corners on opposite sides of the room. Astoria couldn't sleep. She sat up when she saw Blindfold light a candle. He was concentrating on something, so she kept silent. Then he...

As he saw the strange man bolt upright, Kaster yelled, "RIA!!!" Astoria slipped into view with some bread in her hands. "Oh, look, he's awake," she said flatly. Her hood was down. Tossing a roll at Kaster, who caught it without looking, she said, "We were trying to help. You can stay with us a...

Kaster carried the strange, unconscious man over his shoulder to the base of the Treehouse and set him down against the dark trunk. "Why do we care about him again?" Kaster asked his sister. Astoria didn't answer. "I'm going to get some bread. If he wakes up, yell for me." And started leaping up...

Deep into a dense, dark forest, there was a treehouse. You wouldn't know it was there unless you were told. Up in a very thick evergreen tree next to a swift river, made out of wood, was a little hut. Sturdy branches acted in disguise as stairs up to the hut. Inside, it was warm. There was a...
