*Cal followed, feeling a bit lost in the conversation that had just happened. He took one last breath of fresh air before going into the swamp.*

*Xylia tried to keep a cheerful disposition.* How long have we got in here Cal. *she called back to him*

Just a couple miles. *Cal answered. Hopefully this was the worst part of the swamp.*

*Xylia nodded looking around.* It doesn't seem too bad.
*Mika glared.*
*Xylia rolled her eyes.* It's not like I want to live here, but you can get used to the smell.

*Zephyr kept a vigilant eye out for any unexpected surprises that may hinder their journey. With a remarkable poise he slopped through the mud, which only reached about knee-high, and was managable.* What happens when we reach the other side of the swamp?
*Arien's stomach twisted at the sickening feel of the marsh upon her paws, but as she thought of Penni, she felt a certain surge of courage, and foudn strength to ignore the disgusting waters. Arien giggled, then, tapping Xylia on the shoulder she whispered.* You know, it is actually kinda fun to have the mud squish between your toes!

*Xylia giggled.* Speak for yourself. I would love to wipe my paws off on some grass. But it looks like we'll have to wait. *She whispered back.*
*Mika shrugged.* We tie one of them up and take him or her with us as a "slave". We get in we try to find Penni... and hopefully it will be without too many obstacles. Should be simple if we don't get caught.

*Zephyr squinted his eyes as he saw what appeared to be some solid land appearing on the distant horizon.* Yes, well, I figured that! I meant how are we going to get to the castle? How far is it and are what are the directions to get there? Because if we don't find the castle, it might be just a little bit difficult to carry out the plan. Of course, that's just my opinion. *He knew that last bit was not necessary to add, but it was so tempting to be sarcastic with Mika sometimes!*
*Arien's eyes pop open wide, as she sees the same land in the distant horizon.* Maybe not to much longer! Look!*she says excitedly.* See that land waaay over there?!

*Mika glared briefly before deciding to ignore Zephyr. It wasn't worth getting into a fight now with Penni's freedom and perhaps life at steak.*
*Xylia looked cheerful.* So who wants to be tied up? *She said as if it were a perfectly normal part of the day.*

*Arien laughed at Xylia's nonchalant statement, beforing waving her paw wildly in the air.* Me! Me! I want to be a "slave"!! *Zephyr grins at Arien's display.* Well, it looks like we have a volunteer(OOC: Haha! Volunteer makes me think... whoever is the slave can probably count it as community service! )! Any more? Going once... going twice....

*Xylia laughed.* I would love to go as well... unless you want me to do something else... *She paused.* however now that I think of it... that ferret will recognize me too easily. She hardly gave a glance to Arien, but she and I definitely had some clashing. Arien is a good choice... and I don't think we should risk Cal. He's too valuable. We don't need another royal hostage.

Land ho! *Cal yelled from the back of the group and smiled his lopsided grin.* When we get to the land, we can look at my map again. It has the castle on it. *He was getting more confident with each step and the mud and stink weren't even bothering him anymore.*
OOC: ahhh! you guys reply fast! I typed this before the last three replies, so that goes up there ^^ and now this:
I think one slave is good. *Cal said, thinking about it.* Because there's five of us, and there should probably be two people who go and get Penni, in case they need to distract guards or something. *He was hoping he could be the one to bring his sister back from wherever they were keeping her.*

*Arien nods* Cal should definitely NOT go! And... besides that awful ferret not recognizing you... it would be helpful is you and Cal could maybe... formualte some back-up plan, or something else like that.
We have a winner! *Zephyr announces with a grin. He sludges through the mud to shake Arien's hand enthusiastically.* Congradulations! *He says jokingly* You have won an all expense paid trip to an evil castle, where danger is guarenteered! You will have two travel companions that will not only guide you there, but also tie you up! But, the best part is that Zephyr, the most dashing, heroic stoat in aaallll the forest, will be there to assist you. *He does a short, dramatic bow.*
*Arien lifts her paw to cover her mouth, hoping to stiffle the laughter bubbling out of her at Zephyr's jokes. She begins to jup up and down, splashing the murky water everywhere.* I can't believe it! A trip to an evil castle?! And being tied up too?! Life cannot get much better than that! *She says sarcastically to play along with Zephyr.*

*Mika rolled her eyes.* Okay. I have some rope. As soon as we're close enough we'll tie you up. And please don't look that cheerful when you get there for goodness sakes, that would be ridiculous. Smile all you want now of course.
*Xylia laughed at Mika's quick back track.* Alright. If you guys aren't back in a few hours Cal and I will break in and try to get you out of there. Understood?

Alright let's look at the map. *Cal said as they reached the land. He took out the map and spread it on the ground.* We just have to get through this forest. The castle should be in a clearing in the middle. *He pointed to the map and looked up. The dark forest stood just twenty feet in front of where they were standing. The trees were tall and dark and only let a little light into them. It looked like a giant black, green, and brown wall.* Well, I found the forest.

*Xylia nodded.* That you did. It's definitely hard to miss. *She looked up at the canopy and hoped this wouldn't take to long.* This doesn't seem like it will be a lot of fun now does it?
