-Cinder's POV-

I was right, we found a village! Not just a village, a kingdom.

One morning, we walked a mile or so and came over a ridge. There it was.

I looked at it, the sun still rising, casting orange light behind it. "We found it..."

Fennel smiled at it, "You were right. We were close. And now there is hope for us..."

We looked at each other and began to walk.

-Fennel's POV-

We walked through a market. Everything seemed frantic.

I was glad when I remembered my cloak. I didn't know how humans would react to our eyes. After all, we had to be only a myth by now.

Mine was green, Cinder's was red. Obvious colors right? But Cinder insisted, she liked cliche things like that.

We made sure the hoods covered our eyes. Eventually Cinder walked up to a booth with jewelry. She gazed upon them with wonder, making me smile. She looked like a kid staring at candy.

I mean, we looked quite young, judging by the looks of age with the other people here. In hind sight, we were thousands of years old.

The older woman looked at Cinder with a smile too as she looked at the different things.

Her eyes eventually stopped at a particular necklace that didn't look at all like the rest. She picked it up and studied it.

"The Flower of Life," the woman started, "Brings good luck."

Cinder looked up, her eyes glinting a bit, "How much?"

"For a protector of my people, nothing." she smiled and winked.

"But, how?-" I started.

"Some people just know. You are welcome with me, but others..... Why have you come out from hiding after so long?"

Cinder looked at me. "Um... We wanted to check up on everyone..." I said slowly.

The look on her face told me she didn't believe that, but she went with it anyways.

"Well thank you then," she said with a dip of her head, "and if you ever need somewhere, you can come to me."

Cinders eyes filled with a thankful look, "Thank you..." She put her necklace on and we walked away.

(A/N)

Hey! Thanks for reading my book!

I wanted to say that I'm going to try to make longer chapters, but it's going to take me longer to post them. Is that okay?

AND! Cinder's new necklace is in the media. It is actually called the flower of life (and I have one in real life)

So anyways! Comment what you think

Keep smiling
