Alexander and Lucy travelled further north for miles passing the ruins and as the sun set and the moon rose they found themselves in a forest , surrounded by trees they heard strange noises as they travelled deeper into the forest. The moonlight was shining through the trees as the wind suddenly faded , Alexander decided that they should stay there for the night , Alexander reached into his bag and took out some food and water as Lucy sat down on the grass , Alexander collected some sticks and stones and made a campfire, as he was about to light the fire Lucy said "let me light the fire" , she reached out and pointed at the fire and whispered a few words then suddenly her eyes glowed and flames burst out of thin air. "You're a sorceress" said Alexander then Lucy replied "yes but I'm still learning , I only started a week ago" , Alexander smiled in amazement as he handed her some food , they talked for a while then suddenly Alexander's horse neighed as it heard a sound , "who's there" said Alexander as he drew his sword, suddenly there was a hissing sound and a Basilisk burst out of the shadows "take cover my lady" shouted Alexander as the Basilisk lunged towards him , Alexander swished and slashed his sword in a frenzy as he tried to fight it, the Basilisk swung it's tail and knocked him to the ground then thrust it's head down, Alexander swiftly dodged it and grabbed hold of it's tail and climbed up it's body. The Basilisk tried to shake him off and threw Alexander into the air, as he fell through the air the creature strikes at him then Alexander twisted around just in time and drove his sword through the Basilisk's neck, it screamed as it's blue blood sprayed across his sword and fell to the ground , Alexander gripped his sword and swiftly dispatched the creature then walked over to a log as Lucy came out from hiding. They layed down and sighed in relief as Alexander said "you're safe now my lady" , she held his hand and moved closer and fell asleep. Morning had arrived and they continued heading north where they arrived at the city border , "welcome to Lumia" said Alexander as they rode towards the city gates....to be continued
