''Okay. So now we co-ordinate with the tree?'' said Zayce slowly, cringing in confusion.
''NO!'' sighed Avalon, and she paused and said,'' I mean, yeah. I...-not exactly,'' Saying that, she flashed Zayce a big, goofy grin.
'' Wow, that explained a lot...'' groaned Zayce,'' What do you go by, anyway?''
'' Avalon. You're Zayce, or Zoey, or something, I *censored*ume?''
''The former, yeah. How did you know...?''
''Overheard you and your brother. Aren't we supposed to be saving him?'' smirked Avalon.
''OH yes! I tend to stray away from the topic,'' said Zayce meekly,'' What did you have in mind?''
'' Do you know how satyrs lure dryads, Zayce? How they make plants grow impeccably tall and lush?'' questioned Avalon, her eyes sparkling.
'' Yeah..by playing their reed pipes,'' answered Zayce.
Avalon looked at her pointedly, and Zayce gaped at her.
'' We play some notes?'' gasped Zayce.
'' I play some notes. I'm pretty neat at it. Now, once I start, the cocoon will start to open, and I will weaken its magical force for a while. Meanwhile, you jump in, and get your brother out. Do not take much time,'' said Avalon.
Zayce nodded, and loaded her bow. Avalon procured a reed pipe from her back-pocket, smiled at Zayce encouragingly, and began to play a familiar tune.
'' Is that 'Bohemian Rhapsody' ?'' grinned Zayce.
Avalon glared at her, and motioned to the cocoon. Indeed, the cocoon had started to widen, a faint white light emitting from it. Zayce gulped, waved goodbye to Avalon, and walked through the opening.
[Now, it's Reu's chance. ^.^ ]
