The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Ryn, and Benjamin all stood in front of the wild forest staring at it while Redrick and Esther stared at the map to see if the map was going to give them a warning about the wild forest.

Redrick and Esther saw as the map made some words visible to them and they read it out loud “the wild forest is a maze and to get out of it safely you need to follow the path which the moon will light up when it is night. Don't ever get out of the path or else you won't make it out alive”.

The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Ryn, Lilia, and Benjamin all sat down in front of the wild forest to talk about the wild forest and waited till night so the moon could light up the path. Ryn said “am in doubt that we will make it out of the forest alive”.

“Why would you say that? Do you want us all to die?” Redrick asked Ryn.

“You can see what it takes us to get out of the mountain and how can we be so sure that we will get out of the wild forest easily? I don’t think our journey will be easy and the places will be passing through will keep getting dangerous and more dangerous” said Ryn.

“Yeah, it would. This is why we have to stick together because there is no going back. We have to look after each other and make sure we all make it through this journey alive” said Esther.

“Does that mean we will be encountering another danger in the wild forest?” asked Benjamin.

“That will not be necessary if we follow the path and don’t get out of it” said Ramsay.

“I don't think we will ever make it through this journey without encountering dangers. King Damon wanted to keep the crystal and Ethusa from everyone's reach is why he came this far to hide the crystal and Ethusa. So there is no way he could have hidden the crystal and Ethusa in a place anyone could safely go and come back” said Noah.

“The map says if we get out of the path we are never going to get out of the forest alive. Don't you guys think we need to know what will happen if we ever get out of the path” said Tracy.

“Yeah, you are right. We need to know what will happen once we get out of the path or whatever it is that we might be facing” said Kylie.

“Then we have to check if the Dominion book knows about the wild forest” said Mike.

“I guess so” said Lilia.

The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Benjamin, and Ryn all spent the day reading about the wild forest in the Dominion book. They all learned in the Dominion book that the wild forest is truly a maze, two different dangerous creatures live inside the wild forest, and if they ever get out of the path they can end up with one of the creatures or either the two creatures in the wild forest. They also saw that a page that might have also talked about the wild forest had been ripped off.

The two creatures that are said to live inside the wild forest are huge lobsters and Stinxes. Stinxes are creatures having the body of a horse, they have 2 wings that they use as shields, they have 6 hands that look like that of a spider’s hands which they use to fight, they are bigger than the size of humans, and they have horrific faces and heads that look like a skull, and they walked like humans.

By nightfall, the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Benjamin, and Ryn all stood up staring at the wild forest ready to go into it. Esther checked on the map as they were all about to go into the forest and saw another few words reveal themselves on the map that read “beware of the voice and the vines”.

Reading the words, Esther stopped the others from going into the forest and showed them the words the map revealed which they all read and understood. Camelia asked Esther “what does the map mean by the voice?”.

“I don't know” said Esther.

“And the book doesn't talk about any voice or the vines” said Camelia.

“I think the book talked about it but the page has been ripped off. We all saw the ripped page” said Kinsley.

“I guess that means we know nothing about the voice and vines that we should be careful about” said Benjamin.

“Should we sit this one out?” asked Ryn.

“That is ridiculous. How can we sit this one out? Do we want to get to the castle? We have to go through this forest too” said Noah to Ryn.

“Indeed, we all don't know anything about the voice and the vines but we can be cautious about the voice. The voice and the vines can't be a good thing so we have to block our ears from any voices that we hear in the forest and be cautious of any vines” said Esther.

“Does that mean we have to use something to block our ears from the voice?” Redrick asked Esther.

“We can't use anything to block our ears against such a voice because even if we use something to block our ears we will still be hearing the voice. We just have to shun the voice whenever we hear the voice. We shouldn't mind the voice when we hear it” said Esther.

The princes, the princesses, Lilia, Ryn, Benjamin, and Hawk all agree to be cautious of the warning when they go through the wild forest before going through it.

Just as they walked a few steps into the wild forest, they all suddenly saw the moon shun into the path revealing itself. There was silence between the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Benjamin, and Ryn as they all walked through the wild forest following the path which was lit up by the moon.

As they all walked the path, they suddenly heard the voice of a man and a female screaming for help making them all stop walking. Redrick said “Shouldn't we go help them?”.

“No, we are not. We were told not to listen to the voices for a reason” said Ramsay.

“We should continue our journey and I think it is a trap” said Esther, and they all continued walking.

As they all continued walking they all could still keep hearing the male and female voice screaming for help and the screams was getting intense as the male and female was now crying and screaming at the same time. Tracy, Mike, Kinsley, Camelia, and Kylie could no longer deal with the screams for help and crying they were continuously hearing as they felt drawn to it thinking those people might really be in danger but didn’t know they had been enchanted by the voices. Tracy stopped everyone from walking and said to them “I think we need to help them”.

“No. It is clearly a trap” said Hawk.

“And how do we know it is a trap? We don’t know. How can we hear the sound of someone screaming for help and refuse to help?” said Kylie.

“Because we were all told to beware of the voice. It is clearly the voices that are tricking us from going out of the path. The voices want us out of the path and we must not get out of the path” said Noah.

“Does this look like a voice that is trying to trick us? These people are truly in danger and need our help. We should help them and then we can continue to be on our way” said Mike, and Esther moved closer to Mike.

“What the hell are you three saying? We were told not to mind the voice and you want us to go help the voices cause am sure there is no one there needing our help but the voices trying to trick us. We need to keep moving 'cause there are other dangerous things we need to be careful of” said Lilia, as Esther touched Mike and realized he had been enchanted.

“I can’t believe am hearing this from you guys. What stupid voice are we talking about when someone needs our help? We need to go help those people. Can’t you hear that they are hurting and crying” said Kinsley, and Esther moved closer to Ramsay.

“So you are also with them, Kinsley? Are you guys sure you are okay? We were given a strict warning not to mind the voice and now you want us to go help some random voices that we know nothing about. We failing to listen to the warnings is why we almost died in the mountain and now you want us to discard the warning and go help some random voices” said Ryn.

And Esther said silently to Ramsay “something is wrong with Mike and not just him I think it is the same with Tracy, Kinsley, Kylie, and Camelia. I can feel a bad energy coming from them. I think they have been enchanted by the voices which is why they wanted us to help the voices thinking they are real people”.

“We were told not to listen to a voice, not voices. What we are hearing are voices in need of help, not a voice that wants to hurt us. And I don’t think the hurting voices can hurt us. We need to help them” said Camelia.

And Ramsay said silently to Esther “the map says we must not get out of the path so we mustn’t. We need to do something about them being enchanted”.

“We are not helping any voice ‘cause I don’t know what has come over all of you that you want us to help voices which is clearly a trap that will bring us to nothing but dangers that will get us killed. We barely survive the mountain and now you guys want us to get killed. Am not in this, we are not helping any voice and we are continuing our journey by following this path till we get out of the forest” said Benjamin.

“I don’t know for others but I am going to help those voices if you guys aren’t” said Tracy, which Mike, Camelia, Kinsley, and Kylie agreed to.

And Esther said silently to Ramsay “we need to tie them down or make them fall asleep with a spell”.

Noah said to those enchanted “you guys had got to be joking because if you leave the path you guys are on your own. We are not going………” said Noah.

Noah was cut short of words as they all suddenly saw a vine come out of nowhere and the vine wrapped itself around Noah's belly. The vine wanted to draw Noah away from the path into the forest but the vine had only drawn Noah a little backward before Ramsay unsheathed his sword and threw it toward the vine. The sword cut through the vine and came back to Ramsay while Noah regained himself.

Seeing the vine had just tried to pull Noah into the forest away from the path, they all unsheathed their weapons except Ryn and Benjamin who didn’t have a weapon to fight with. They all stood close to each other forming a circle as their back were facing each other, and Ryn and Benjamin stood inside the circle so they could be protected. They were all scared as they awaited the vine that might attack them.

Vines attacked them from all directions and they all fought the vines so the vines wouldn't get to them except Benjamin and Ryn, but the vines were much and were attacking them from all sides. They all did their best against the vines but the vines later wrapped themselves in any part of their bodies and drew them into the forest.
