Paul1576 walked on the grassy hills with Dream Maker, Destiny and Angelina. Leaving the goo and the gooey creatures from the swamp behind they headed north west. Walking side by side the group made good progress as they walked in the darkened land with rain pouring down. “Could do without this rain,” Paul1576 said. “I know, just our luck,” Dream Maker said. “So about what the machine said, what are we supposed to be doing?” Dream Maker asked. “We need to find some kind of devices that are allowing this man to hack into our dream world, watch out for these unbound people who are going to try and kill us and try to put a stop to what they are doing,” Paul1576 replied smiling. “Not much then,” replied Destiny who appeared slightly quiet. “We have something in us remember that will alert us if something is wrong,” Dream Maker said. “I forgot about that, we must say if we feel anything no matter how small,” Paul1576 said. The group carried on up the hills and across the flats.

Lady Maja was dressed in a glamorous red dress, she wore a blonde wig and high heel shoes. “How do I look Zara?” she asked. “Looking great, what about me?” Zara asked who was wearing leather armour, a black haired wig and looked scruffy. “Well you look like a man love,” Lady Maja replied. “That was the idea,” Zara said. “I have spread the word about for our new play but we need to rehearse a lot, the boys need to get a move on,” Lady Maja said. The two were in the foyer waiting for Draygon and Silver. “They have only just come back from their walk, give them some time,” Zara said. “We need to practice, we are running out of time,” Lady Maja said as she twirled around in her dress. Moments later Draygon walked down the stairs and was dressed in some pretend battle silver armour and carried a huge axe. “Looking great!” Lady Maja said as she admired Draygon’s outfit. “Thanks, not too bad looking yourself, my lady,” he replied. Suddenly Silver ran down the stairs with a blonde haired wig that dangled down his back, he wore pink makeup and short skirt and top. “Wow, sexy!” Draygon laughed as Silver blew a kiss to him.

The four keys walked slowly on as the weather started to clear up and slight glimpses of blue sky began to emerge. “What are they?” asked Destiny pointing in the distance. The others looked ahead, “Looks like wolfs,” said Paul1576. “No they look like monsters,” said Angelina who leapt in the air and flew with her glorious silver wings. “Okay,” said Destiny as she watched Angelina fly forward. “She’s our scout,” Paul1576 said smiling. “No way are they wolfs,” Dream Maker said looking on. Moments late Angelina returned and landed, “They are some kind of black goo monsters,” she said. “They look like they are coming this way,” replied Paul1576. “I can try a shroud spell around us, if you want?” asked Destiny. “What like to hide us?” asked Dream Maker. “Yes, it will render us invisible for a little while as long as we stay still,” Destiny explained. “Okay do it,” said Paul1576 watching as the monsters were running towards them in the distance. “Stay close to me, okay?” Destiny said as she went into stare. The others moved close together. “She’s kind of cute when she does that,” Paul1576 said, bringing on a glare from Angelina and Dream Maker. Moments later dark magic swirled around Destiny initially and then floated around the four of them. The monsters came closer and closer. “There here,” whispered Paul1576. “Be quiet,” whispered Angelina as she looked at Destiny who was still staring as though in a trance. The black goo monsters approached, around six of them of different sizes, short legs, long arms and evil looking red eyes. “What the hell are they?” Paul1576 thought. “Evil creatures that are not true to this world, they should not be here,” Paul1576 heard Destiny’s voice in his head and looked confused as he looked across to her. “How can she read my thoughts?” Paul1576 thought. “I can read your thoughts when I am using magic like this, I can read all our thoughts if I wish too,” Destiny said inside Paul1576’s mind. “So I better be careful what I think then,” Paul1576 thought. “Yes but please don’t tell the others, our secret okay?” Destiny’s beautiful voice asked. “Okay, no problem,” replied Paul1576 as he looked on as the creatures stopped for a moment. The black shroud was covering them all, making them invisible to anyone around, although they could still see each other. Dream Maker with her red armour and her sword The Maker Of Dreams which still wasn’t talking, Angelina with her silver wings, white leather armour, Destiny with her black laced top, blue coat and staff and Paul1576 with his leather armour and two handed sword all waited in silence as the black goo monsters walked past.

Inside the main room of Sir God’s Playhouse Lady Maja, Zara, Draygon and Silver were practising their acting and their lines. The stage was huge and surrounding them were several layers of red and black chairs. The room was lit by several bright candles hanging from all four walls with a few lantern hung at the back of the stage. “You beast Davros! How dare you kidnap these lovely girls to be your lovers!” Lady Maja cried as she looked at Draygon. “I bestow my right as clan leader to take these whores as my slaves!” Draygon replied. Silver and Zara lay curled up in the corner of the stage. “You are nothing more than a hefty baboon leading a clan of chimpanzees!” Lady Maja shouted. “So what are you? A working girl that even the peasants don’t want!” Draygon said. Lady Maja then picked up a sword that was laying on the floor. “I challenge you to a dual for my honour and that of my friends!” Lady Maja said. Draygon looked confused, “And I, I challenge you to make me a cup of warm tea as I am cold and tired!” Lady Maja, Zara and Silver all stared at Draygon. “You fool, what do you think I am? Your bloody slave!” Lady Maja said as she laughed. “You can be my slave any day!” Draygon laughed. “Oh come on Draygon, you can’t be that tired?” asked Zara. Draygon touched the side of his face where he had scraped himself on a tree branch when the harpy had come near. “You don’t look too good,” Lady Maja said. “It was that harpy it scratched my face as I had to fight it off with my bare hands, isn’t that right Silver?” Silver looked confused, “Oh yes sir, you was so brave!” Silver said knowing that it was actually a tree branch that scraped his face. Lady Maja examined Draygon’s face and the scratch. “I think its infected, ill go and make you a drink while I try to find you something for it,” she said as she walked away.

“They have all gone past now, wait a while before we move again,” Dream Maker said as the four keys were shrouded in magic. Silence was ever present for a while. “There lets go now, “ Destiny said as she stopped her magic and started walking again, Paul1576 looked on and tried not to think too much in-case she read his thoughts again. Dream Maker and Angelina walked after Destiny. “You coming or just standing there?” Dream Maker shouted. “Sorry, I am on my way,” replied Paul1576 as he set out to catch up with the others. The weather was a lot better now and in the distance a small village could be seen. Several small wooden buildings, mixed in with a few stone ones with tall chimneys stretching up high. “Civilization,” said Paul1576. “I would wait until we know what we find before you say that!” said Destiny as the others all looked at her as if she knew something they didn’t. “What? I don’t know, I have not seen anything,” Destiny said looking a it irritated. “What if I go and do some scouting?” asked Angelina. “Go ahead,” replied Paul1576 as the beautiful silver wings were already in action. Flying high Angelina flew directly towards the village.

Draygon sat on a bench with a piece of cloth on his face looking a bit pale, Lady Maja with her stunning outfit sat with him. “If you start to feel worse, tell us okay!” she said as she seemed cross with him. “You just walked into something didn’t you?” she asked. Draygon couldn’t see the point of lying, “I walked into a branch as I was hurrying away from a harpy,” he said. Lady Maja looked even more concerned, “So there was an actual harpy?” she still wasn’t sure if he was telling the truth or not. “Yes there was a harpy and I thought it was going to get Silver,” Draygon said. Lady Maja looked to be thinking. “There were loads around that old castle all swirling around, I feared they may all come and get us,” Draygon continued. “We don’t normally see them around here, something must be wrong?” Lady Maja said, “We never get them around here, it must be something about that weird blue light that Silver and I saw,” Draygon said. “Something is not right but we can do little apart from keeping an eye out,” Lady Maja said. “What if harpy’s do come and attack us and the village?” asked Draygon. “Then we hide as best we can, we are not warriors or fighters are we!” Draygon shook his head meaning no. Suddenly Silver ran in to the room, “I can see a harpy coming, it flying over the village!” Lady Maja, Zara and Draygon all looked at each other. “Stay here Draygon, Zara stay with him, I will go.” Lady Maja stood up and walked with Silver towards the main entrance. “Are you sure it was a harpy and not just some bird?” she asked. “I had wings and was flying,” Silver said. “And so do birds!” Lady Maja replied.

I am an angel, I was flying to scout ahead for our little party. I love the time flying like this, it gave me so much freedom, I could see so far. Below me a village was active with little people going about their day, everything looked normal. Ahead of me a big white building stood out, this caught my attention and I flew closer. Suddenly a person in red came out of it with what looked like a small child. They started pointing towards me, I hadn’t though about what people may think of me, I suppose it wasn’t everyday you saw an angel flying. I decided to head back to the others. As I was flying over the village more and more people were pointing at me so I decided to fly higher. If we go there what are they going to say or do to me? I suppose the others would protect me, or would they? All of us didn’t look like your average village folk did we. I swooped down and landed next to Paul1576. “They saw me and was pointing at me,” I said. “Who saw you?” asked Dream Maker. “People in the village, they were pointing at me,” I said. “We didn’t think about what would happen if we met other people did we?” Paul1576 said. “Kind of stupid of us,” Dream Maker said. “We won’t fit in at all, what if they attack us?” Angelina said. “We have a mission to do, were more important then they are,” Paul1576 said. “He’s right, we need to be strong and deal with any problems, we are the four keys and they are just people who are not important,” Destiny said.
