What
John
was
teaching
Zack
was
how
to
ride
his
wyvern
.
Zack
'
s
wyvern
,
Dejoni
as
he
had
named
it
,
was
finally
big
enough
for
Zack
to
ride
.
John
handed
Zack
a
saddle
and
soon
they
too
were
flying
above
the
lake
.
Tom
looked
at
his
wings
and
looked
at
Dejoni
'
s
color
and
realized
how
close
they
were
.
Dejoni
was
slightly
lighter
than
Tom
'
s
wings
.
After
about
half
an
hour
of
flying
the
four
landed
in
front
of
the
cabin
.
Tom
and
Zack
went
and
got
the
things
they
were
allowed
to
take
with
them
.
They
all
flew
to
a
secluded
area
of
the
forest
and
landed
.
They
said
their
farewells
and
the
two
brothers
flew
away
.
The
two
boys
watched
them
for
a
moment
or
two
then
looked
at
each
other
and
Tom
said
“
Well
let
'
s
hurry
and
make
a
camp
near
a
stream
.”
They
spent
a
few
minutes
searching
but
eventually
Zack
found
a
small
stream
.
Then
they
spent
some
time
forming
the
trees
and
ground
into
a
shelter
and
made
a
fire
pit
.
They
looked
around
for
some
food
source
.
Suddenly
they
spotted
a
deer
facing
away
from
them
.
Tom
raised
his
crossbow
and
Zack
his
bow
.
They
shot
at
the
same
time
and
both
hit
the
deer
.
They
went
and
got
the
body
.
They
carried
it
back
to
the
camp
and
dried
most
of
the
meat
.
They
buried
what
they
didn
'
t
use
,
so
that
predators
wouldn
'
t
be
attracted
to
the
camp
.
They
looked
around
for
berries
and
other
edible
plants
,
they
found
a
couple
of
bushes
and
other
plants
.
They
went
to
the
stream
,
cleaned
it
and
put
some
of
the
water
in
some
of
their
containers
.
They
went
back
to
camp
and
ate
lunch
.
Lunch
was
some
of
the
deer
meat
roasted
and
a
handful
of
berries
.
They
set
to
work
making
a
shelter
for
Dejoni
who
had
been
flying
around
.
They
made
a
large
roof
of
branches
woven
so
tightly
water
couldn
'
t
get
through
and
a
large
bed
.
They
didn
'
t
worry
about
food
and
water
,
Dejoni
could
easily
get
his
own
.
They
collected
a
large
supply
of
firewood
near
the
fire
pit
.
They
then
spent
a
few
hours
exploring
and
flying
around
.
They
noticed
the
sun
going
down
and
went
back
to
camp
.
Dejoni
went
to
his
pavilion
and
started
eating
the
remains
of
a
deer
he
had
killed
earlier
and
the
boys
cooked
some
of
the
meat
and
dried
more
of
it
.
They
made
a
small
stew
with
the
meat
and
some
herbs
they
found
.
They
sat
around
the
fire
talking
about
their
pasts
.
Zack
'
s
parents
were
originally
farmers
but
had
moved
to
Hilltop
Lake
and
his
dad
became
a
carpenter
.
Zack
had
worked
many
small
jobs
to
help
earn
money
.
The
money
he
earned
he
saved
,
he
hoped
to
one
day
travel
around
the
world
.
He
often
had
hunted
in
the
forest
with
his
friends
when
not
working
.
Eventually
they
went
into
their
shelter
and
went
to
sleep
.
The
next
day
they
woke
to
Dejoni
roaring
.
They
hurriedly
grabbed
their
weapons
and
ran
out
of
their
hut
.
All
they
saw
was
a
large
bear
running
away
with
a
foul
smelling
fume
coming
of
it
.
Dejoni
must
have
roared
and
spit
his
acid
on
the
bear
,
causing
it
to
run
.
They
looked
at
their
food
and
saw
some
of
it
scattered
around
.
They
spent
a
hour
weaving
baskets
with
magic
.
They
put
their
food
into
them
and
Tom
flew
up
to
the
highest
branches
of
the
trees
and
hung
the
baskets
there
.
As
he
flew
back
down
Zack
said
“
We
should
make
some
traps
,
so
we
don
'
t
always
have
to
hunt
.”
Tom
landed
and
replied
“
Good
idea
,
and
while
we
are
at
it
we
might
as
well
put
up
protection
around
our
camp
to
keep
animals
like
that
bear
out
.”
they
spent
the
time
until
lunch
creating
traps
of
various
sizes
and
designs
.
