Now that the villagers had gone and Honeydew had ran after the trail of blood the poor spaceman had left behind, they realised that they had no choise. They must risk following the dwarf and finding... Something that they didn't want to find.
Ridge didn't want to think about it. "How's your ribs?" he asked the elf, who walked next to him. She turned her head to face him.
"A little sore."
"They will be, I can fix the breakage and the scars, but the pain will only numb to a soreness instead of dissapearing conpletely." the reaper stated. He brushed a large leaf out of the way and stopped.

"What's wrong Ridge?" Xevphera asked as she noticed him, he sniffed.
"Can you smell that?" the reaper asked and the others were hit by the strong smell.
"Honey... It's probably just Xephos' blood." Lalna stated
"No it's differant... Sure Xephos' blood smells like honey... But I smell, apple, and is that cinnamon?!" the elf asked
"Well our natural sences aren't as strong as yours, Xevphy. We can't smell it as strong as you." Lomadia stated.
"I smell the rosemary" Rythian added.

Ridge pushed through the plants that were infront of him, letting the others follow. He had figured something out and the others knew it.
They followed him as he pushed the leaves out of the way, being careful that they didn't flick back and whack someone round the face.

They came to a clearing and the reaper stopped. To the front of the clearing was a small pool of water, blood slightly mixed through it. The rest of the clearing was short, well kept, bright green grass. A few little yellow and pink flowers dotted the outside, but a long stem was planted in the ground just before the water, around it was a puddle of blood and thornes.

"Oh... Oh dear.." the reaper said, sympathy present in his voice. The elf stepped forwards and pulled a bit of the stem off. She gave it to Ridge, who smelt it. An overpowerful aroma met his nose, causing him to pull the stem from his face as fast as he could. "I, I mean I can't believe it! How? This is the stem of the rose... But, it couldn't have been naturally distroyed!" the stated.

------------

They all decided to make thier way back to the castle to mourne. There was no telling where Xephos was, but by now... He was undoubtedly dead. He probably fell into the pool of water and sunk, there was blood after all.
They didn't rush, they took thier time. Rythian, Zoeya and Teep said thier sorrowfull farewells and left back to thier bases.
At the edge of the forest Martyn and Toby split off aswell, just as sorrowful in thier goodbyes as the others.

The group of four made thier way to Ridge's castle, he said that they could stay at his for the night and he would take them home tomorow. It was almost night after all.

As they approached the little bit of remaining rubble that had blown off in the first explosion, they spotted a green ball directly underneath the floating castle. They rushed out to find Xephos, curled up in a ball, sobbing.
Ridge put his hand on the creeper turned spacemans shoulder and the sobbing stopped, blue eyes looking up at the group. He was greated by a bear hug from Honeydew. He hugged his friend back. And Ridge pulled to dwarf off to tell Xephos that they needed to go back inside and test for some more results.

------------

He had asked to be put in a seperate room to avoid any chemicles that might react with himself in the main lab. He was sat on a large metal bed and was looking down at his creeper feet.
The door creaked and the four others walked in. "Xeph, what happened? I mean not trying to jinx it, but you should be dead." Ridge stated and Xephos scratched the back of his head.
He told them of how he had thought he was going to die, how he found the clearing and how he found the rose and had an unusually uncontrolable urge to eat it."
At this the reaper ran out of the room, to get the rest of the antidote.

"It's a long shot!" he shouted through to the others, Xephos being totally oblivious to what was happening. "But, if there's a chance it will work, we should try it." he stated as he walked back in to the room. He held a bunch of ingrediants and test tubes. "It will take some time to mix together, so it's a good thing that food takes days for a creeper to digest, like a shark." he said half amused and with that the group left Xephos to himself as they tried to mix the ingrediant.

------------

The door creaked and Xevphera walked in, sitting on the other half of the metal bed. She smiled. "How can you feel so comfortable around me?" Xephos asked quietly.
"Well you can't explode remember."
"No, but when you saw me before, you didn't seem scared, I mean you even hugged me."

The elf looked down. "Because even if you look differant, your still the only person I actually trust. I just feel like even if you didn't look how you do now, and for some reason were seperated from everyone else, you'd still be as destraught." she stated.
Xephos looked up at her "I didn't want to leave you" he said, tears started rolling down his cheeks. Xevphera giggled and put her hand in her pocket, pulling out another chocolate bar and putting it infront of her. The spaceman laughed, it seemed like the first time in ages, and took the chocolate bar. He broke it in half and handed the other half to the elf, who took it and punched him in the arm playfully. "You goof Xeph." she said and they laughed again.

Ridge broke through the door, taking it off his hinges. He looked slightly sheepish and placed the door next to the frame "Ill fix that later." he said and walked over to Xephos. "Ready?"
"Never been more ready in my life."
