Description
“Ew,” Ellen muttered.
“Sorry.”
“Um…No problem…” She said back.  She started trying to wipe the blood and the other stuff off onto the ground and tried whatever else she thought would work, but nothing showed much effect.  We all stayed coated in blood and rabbit parts.  Then we just kept on walking.
“Okay, so where do we have to go?” Ellen questioned.
“We keep going straight,” I replied.
“Okay.”
We continued to walk for a long time.  We passed the dragon, which had now started decaying.  We walked through the area Ice appeared at, and walked into the forest straight ahead.  As we walked through it, I saw some marks in the trunks of the trees.
“Hey, anybody have any idea on what these marks are?” I asked.
“Probably just some of the creatures here,” Ellen said.
“I thought that might be it, I just wasn’t sure.”
“Of course you did.” She said sarcastically.  “And I’ll be right back, I’ve gotta go to the bathroom.”
She walked off into the trees where nobody could see her.  Then we heard a scream, and everything was quiet again.  Ice and I looked at each other about to run after her, but then we saw her start to walk back towards us.  When she came back, she saw the shocked looks on our faces.
“What happened?” I asked.
“Oh, that was nothing.  A mouse snuck up on me, and I just wasn’t expecting it.”
“Oh, okay, well thanks for scaring us.”
“Your welcome!” She gave us a reassuring smile.
“Okay, well, onward,” I said.  We passed a lot of trees, but we eventually came out of the forest, and we looked around and saw a big lake.  We walked over to it to get some drinks.  I looked into the water, and saw a couple schools of fish.  They all swam away when we put our hands into the water.  One of the fish got separated from the rest of the fish, and started nervously swimming in circles, and then darted away from us.  I wondered if he’d ever get back together with the rest of the fish.
Once we weren’t thirsty anymore, we walked over to a larger sized rock that lay next to the water and sat down against it to rest a little.  We didn’t say much to each other.  Ellen stared off into the distance.  I tried to see if she was looking at anything in particular, but I didn’t see anything.  I looked over at what Ice was doing.  He was using some of the water from the lake and had started making it spin, until it began to turn into a foot high typhoon.  He used his hand to move it in a circle, and then when he was finished with it, it burst and splashed onto the ground around him.
“How do you do that?” I asked.
“You just focus on the water and try to manipulate it.”
“Okay,” I said.  Then I tried to use the little information he gave me to try to make the water do what I wanted it to do.  I focused my mind on the water, and concentrated with my hand to do the right movements.  The water didn’t move, but I kept trying anyways.  After a minute of complete concentration, I saw a ripple in the water.
