The map lowered me to the ground and I carefully stood up from it. I looked at the Wizard and his fruit friend who were behind me by then, and they nodded.

I had to go quickly. I didn't have that much time and it was evening already.

" Safe journey. Go and find the truth and save your village. " Galdor wished me farewell and waved at me.

" Bye! " It was Ju-Ju and he also waved with his tiny hand.

I sat on the map which was now friendly with me and marked the next destination with my green marker.

" The first destination as it says on this map will be the elemental kingdom of water. " I hung the purse with the mirror over my shoulder and turned back to talk to them.

Galdor walked forward beside me with Ju-Ju on his shoulder.

" Yes. There are four elemantal kingdoms which you'll have to pass through. You might be lucky to get information from there. Make sure to be wise in your doings. " He pointed at the place on the map with his long fingers.

I nodded at him and waved as the map slowly went hovered and flew high into the sky. I was afraid and happy. I wondered if the beings I was going to meet there would be like Zephyr, Bushytail and Viperis as I flew into the sky.

I opened my eyes to see myself on a huge flying map. I had totally forgotten everything that had happened and the memories slowly returned to me.

I had slept off and it was night already. Everywhere was dark and I couldn't see the beautiful grove again. Was I still in the enchanted grove? I thought to myself.

" You are in another part of the enchanted grove. It is a very huge forest. " The map was talking.

My mouth was wide open in awe. Just how many things could talk here.

I looked up at the full moon in all it's glory. The stars were shinning and twinkling. It was the most beautiful I had seen the night sky.

" What should I call you map? " It flew at a great speed and I thought it would be good to know it's name so I wouldn't call it map all the time.

"I don't have a name. " It's voice was not too loud and not too soft. Not too deep either. It was normal and it didn't talk as adorable as Ju-Ju. I assumed he was male.

" Well, I'll have to think of a name for you then. " I thought of names that could be given to a map. A talking flying one.

" How about...Routan. You know the route so it should be a name for for you. " I suggested and waited for it's approval.

" Okay. Any name is fine but Routan sounds really nice. "

" Routan! " I shouted it's name and was happy it liked it. I was excited that it could talk and it could be a great companion for me. I was worried I would be lonely on the long journey.

I looked down and couldn't see anything that was below from high above. My vision became blurry and I slowly slept off.

***

I opened my eyes again and was overwhelmed by the great beauty before me. There was overflowing water circling around like a huge portal and we were headed for it. It was morning already and I rubbed my eyes awake.

" You might need to hold your breath. "

Routan warned and flew into the water portal. I acted as instructed and held my breath. I kept my eyes open and I didn't want to miss any beauty.

As we entered the portal, we passed through a waterfall that seemed endless. My body was wet and I was soaked in water. I counted seconds for it to end.

I couldn't hold my breath any longer and my eyes were in pain from the way I squeezed it very tight. Just when I thought I was going to die, it finally ended.

I gasped for breath and breathed heavily. My chest was in pain and Routan seemed unharmed. I thought he would have been wet but he was had dry as he had always been. My hair and clothes were heavily soaked and I had hardly recovered.

I checked my purse which I had held close to me throughout the passage through the water fall. It was in ruins and barely held the mirror. It was just a knitted purse and if I hadn't held it closely it could have fell from my shoulder.

I rubbed my eyes free of water and looked around to see an even more marvellous sight. The kingdom was overflowing with water and there were even people.

They were just like the normal humans from the village but they hard this weird mark on their forehead which signified water.

They stared at us in shock and Routan quickly flew away to a hidden corner but it was already too late.

They had seen us already and they chased after us. We were found and was afraid they were going to capture us but they were scared to even come close to us.

There were barely any trees and most of the kingdom was made of water. The houses were were made of frozen water which was ice and the people weren't even soaked like me.

The water assisted them in their daily lives and I could see the children swimming in the rivers. They all looked happy and were also disturbing by my appearance.

The children stopped playing and soon enough, it looked as if the entire kingdom surrounding me. They were approximately 200 and they kept increasing.

I stepped down from Routan who had  flown to the ground. I stood up on my shaky feet and they stared at me.

" She doesn't have the mark on her forehead! "

" She's not one of us! "

" She's probably an intruder! "

" Or a spy from another kingdom! "

They whispered among themselves and suggested different kinds of things about me. They didn't know who I was or what I was.

" Let's take her to our queen at once! "

One of them who looked like he was highly respected among them ordered.
The people or whatever they were slowly came to me and I was carried along with my map. I tightly held the mirror and the ruined purse as I was rudely carried to what was said to be the queen's palace.
