Chapter Six

When Shara opened his eyes, morning had come. The sun was streaming through the open doorway and he sat up with a yawn and stretched. He could hear Dart and Lavitz talking outside as he got to his feet.

Good morning, Beloved.

Snowdrop was in the window and he walked over to the moon spider.

"Good morning," he said, gently taking the silver moon spider from his silky web and placed him on top of his head. "Did you rest well?"

I did, Beloved. It rained all night.

"Did it?" He asked, walking across the room towards the door, rubbing his arms as he did so to get some dry leaves off him.

Yes. You slept through it.

He stepped out into the warm morning sunlight and saw Dart and Lavitz sitting around a fire. They were cooking what looked to be some kind of meat over it. Dart gave him a bright smile and waved him over.

"Lavitz is feeling much better," the blond said, making a place for him to take a seat at the fire. "He doesn't even have a limp."

The knight nodded. "You really helped me, Shara. Thank you."

Shara took a seat beside the knight and nodded at him. "You helped save me. It is the least I could do."

The knight beamed happily.

"I caught a rabbit," Dart said, turning the meat over and over on the fire. "It should be ready here in a bit."

Shara caught the troubled look on the warrior's face. "Is something wrong?"

Lavitz was pursing his lips.

"With all the rain we got last night," Dart said, cutting into the meat with his dagger to make sure it was cooked. "The river has really flooded. The current is so strong, I don't think we'll be able to get across it."

Lavitz nodded. "We may have to follow it downstream to see if there is a shallow place to cross or a bridge perhaps."

"Isn't crossing the river here the fastest way to Bale?" Shara asked, turning to the knight.

"It is," Lavitz said, picking a blade of grass to play with. "But, it may not be helped. We must go about this safely. It is imperative that we make it to Bale in order to give the king vital information."

Dart took the meat from the fire and began to cut it into three equal portions. "We will think of something," he said, passing around the food. "Eat up! This will make us think better."

Shara loved rabbit. It tasted almost just like chicken in some ways. Which, of course, everyone says everything tastes like chicken.

He took a bite and smiled.

"Good?" Dart asked.

He nodded. "Very."

The blond grinned from ear to ear and stuffed some rabbit into his mouth as well. Lavitz picked at his as though he was a bird, but he did eat it.

"Are you okay?" Shara asked him.

Lavitz sighed. "The only thing they know is that I was captured. They probably think I'm dead…The king…my mother…"

Shara placed his hand over the one the knight was using to play with the blade of grass. "It will be okay. We'll get there." He smiled and removed his hand. "Everything will be fine."

Lavitz forced a smile. "Thanks, Shara. I needed that."

Dart placed some more meat in front of Shara and the dark headed teen just looked at him. "What are you trying to say, Dart?"

The blond shrugged and Lavitz laughed.

OOOOOOO

The roar of the river was so loud, Shara could barely hear what Dart and Lavitz were talking about to each other. There was no way the three of them would be able to get across that without getting swept away or dragged under by the swift current, and he didn't even want to think of what the water might do to Snowdrop.

Moon spiders are excellent swimmers, Beloved. I may be fine.

"That's good," he said, reaching up the scratch his friend's silver fur as he walked over to where Dart and Lavitz were talking to one another.

"We will have to follow it downstream!" Dart yelled, pointing.

Lavitz was scratching his chin. "I wish there was another way! If only there was something we could use to cross here!"

Shara bit his bottom lip and looked up towards the cliff he and Dart had been at last night. The blond had carved their initials into that tall tree.

"Dart!" He yelled, pointing towards the cliff. "What about the tree?"

The blond looked at him and his blue eyes lit up as if a light had come on behind them. He drew his sword and gave it a worried glance. "I don't think my blade will work! It might break!"

"Tree?" Lavitz asked.

Dart and Shara nodded. "We may be able to use it to cross here if we can cut it down," Shara said.

Lavitz pointed back towards the shack. "Maybe we can find something to use then."

I saw an ax in the back corner of the shack, Beloved.

Thank you, Snowdrop.

The moon spider did a little scuttle on his head.

"There is an ax in the shack!" Shara told them, walking back. "We can use that!"

Fifteen minutes later.

"SHIT!" Dart and Lavitz yelled at the same time, just as the tree went falling over the cliff. They both tried to grab at it, but it was too late. It was gone.

Both blondes just stood there, looking down the cliff with their broad shoulders slumped in dejection. Dart dropped the ax to the ground and sighed as Lavitz growled under his breath.

"I really don't think we thought that through?" The knight spoke first.

Dart nodded, not speaking.

Shara snorted and then began to laugh at them. He couldn't help it. That had been the funniest thing he had ever seen.

Two grown men trying to grab a huge tree in order to keep it from falling according to gravity's will. He held his stomach as he howled with laughter. Tears came to his eyes and he couldn't breathe. It hurt to breathe. His stomach started to hurt really bad.

Both blondes were glaring at him with rather frightening frowns on their handsome faces as he wiped the tears of mirth from his violet eyes. That had been a good laugh. A laugh he had really needed.

"That wasn't funny, Shara," Dart deadpanned.

Shara bit his bottom lip and then began to laugh again. He pointed at the blond this time as he laughed. "Yes! Yes it was!"

Lavitz sighed. "I guess we will have to walk downstream then…"

Shara sobered rather quickly when he saw how sad the knight looked. Dart put his hand on the knight's shoulder, giving it a squeeze. They both looked really down. Then Lavitz suddenly smiled at Shara, giving him a wink. Shara's jaw dropped.

Then Dart and Lavitz pointed and laughed at him.

"That wasn't funny, you guys!" He yelled, turning his back to them, not letting them see that he was indeed smiling.

He let them laugh and sober up.

"We better get started then," Lavitz said, walking away from the cliff.

Dart followed and Shara followed behind as they descended back down towards the shack. Before walking back towards the river, Shara opened the gate for his horse friend. He waved to the horse and quickly ran after Dart and Lavitz. When they got to the river, all three of them froze in their tracks and just looked.

"I don't believe it," Dart gaped.

Lavitz was grinning happily. "But there it is…"

The tree had fallen and floated downstream and had wedged itself horizontally against each bank so that they could cross the river with relative ease.

"Praise the gods," Shara whispered. "Thank you…"

"Let's cross quickly," Dart said, having Shara go first. "We don't know how long it may stay wedged."

Shara went first, followed by Lavitz, and then Dart. When Dart jumped off, that's when the tree broke loose and went zooming on down the river. All three of them watched it go.

"Something was watching out for us," Lavitz said.

Dart nodded and Shara took his hand. "To Bale?" He asked.

"To Bale!" Lavitz announced, pointing towards the kingdom's direction.

As they followed the knight, Shara squeezed Dart's hand. "Did you really think you were going to pull that tree up?"

Dart rolled his eyes. "Shut up."

Shara bumped against him and laughed.
