Shol trampled over weeds and brush to his friends cottage on the west side of the Golden Council village. Shol knocked on the door. Soon it opened and a face that seemed only in it's teens (but was at least 1000 years old, because 1000 in these peoples world was in it's teens) opened the door. "Hello, Shol, nice day aint it"? said the voice. "Hello Kife" saidm Shol. "Let us take a toast while we're young" said Kife. "Really?, I know i'm only in my teens (remember 1000 is the start of teens) but I feel old with the burden I'm going to ask you to carry with me" said Shol. "Well, it can be told over a nice drink of Vickle (mix between olden day soda pop and miled herbs)" said Kife. Then, Shol and Kife took a cheer with their drinks, and drunk. "Kife, I need to ask you to go on a journey with me" said Shol. "A little crave for adventure going on, ay matey"? asked Kife. "I wish it were, Kife, I wish it were only a crave for adventure" said Shol. "What do you mean"? asked Kife. "Some evil has risen" said Shol. "I little childish don't you think, now Shol"? chuckled Kife. "Again I wish it were as carefree as you think" said Shol. "Well, my friend I'll stick to you through black and blue, even if it is a little far-fetched" said Kife. At this Shol got enraged. "FAR-FETCHED"! Shol said, "Name one time I have spoken one ill-word like a lie to you"?. "Not any" said Kife, "none the less , I'll come". "You'll see, I am telling the truth, Kife" said Shol. With that, Shol left. Jakile was sitting on the bench outside and he heard every word spoken. "Well, we'll just say that, tht didn't go so swell" said Jakile. "He's coming, and so I did what I came to do an we'll leave it at that" said Shol. "I would be worried about a thing that goes on between to people called friendship" said Jakile, "Friendship is what you'll find to be your most powerful weapon. Shol was tramping over to his second-friends house. Veg was sitting on his door-mat. "Kife has already told me, got here mighty fast on his dragon, he did, and all i have to say is, I'm all for it, I'm coming, plus it's a theory to explain why that massive army disappeared like boom" said Veg. "Thank you, Veg, bless your teen-aged heart" said Shol. "Hey" said Veg, "Your a younger teen then me"!. Shol trampled with his dragon over to his oldest and most loyal friend, Brel. Shol found Brels house, vacant. A note was attached to his door. it read: I'm sorry my old friend, I have decided to join them, the Grave warriors, Pray our paths never cross, Times have changed, Brel. "BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" yelled Shol. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO". Shol carried a sad heart that seemed to weigh 100 pounds, from ever on.
