Raven walked by a stream and collected more water. She was heading towards the portal of the Hollow Tree. The Hollow Tree was the way to get to Ravens father, Gene. She was hoping her mother was still alive in the elf world and she could see her again. But she was ready for anything at this point. Raven had gone through a lot with living alone in the woods because she had weird shaped ears and powers that she has to hide. Ravens little friend fae had arrived back from the other night with a note. She had named the little fae Ivy. Ivy and Raven stuck together.

Raven put the note from Ivy in her bag with all the other ones. She traveled on more until the night arrived. She knew she was close to the portal. She stared at the moon again with a sparkle in her eye and soon fell asleep. Ivy went traveling into the woods more while Raven was asleep. Ivy traveled through the 4th and 6th trail. And erased them to confuse the faes that were searching for Raven. Ivy knew that the maps she gave to Raven where maps leading to her but how was she going to tell her? Raven can't understand the faes languages. So Ivy's goal was to get rid of all clues that lead to Raven to protect her. Ivy didn't want to loose her. 

Raven woke up soon after the sun rose. She was going to get to that portal to find her father and mother. She grabbed her bag and looked for the little fae before she left. She went farther in the woods but never found Ivy. Soon a glow had surrounded her. She knew it wasn't Ivy, it was a different fae. It was a round glow that was silver and gold. It shined so bright and had silver sparks coming out of it when it flew. The fae had tried to snatch the bag out of Ravens side. She ran faster and faster when she finally got away from the fae. She yelled Ivy louder and louder but she never came. She was starting to get worried but knew Ivy would come back. 

 Ivy flew as fast as she could to find Raven. Raven stayed calm and waited for Ivy to come back to her. She started walking back to the Hollow Tree. She was getting closer to the portal. Raven had her blade in her hand and the map in another. Shclank shclank Raven heard and started running. She knew it was something big rustling in the bushes but didn't care to find out. She was so close now she wasn't going to throw it away by a beast in the bush. There it was the Hollow Tree, it was so close she could almost touch it. She started slowing down into a light jog and got her paper out that was taped to the crystal sword. It was the spell to get into the Hollow Tree and go to the evil place called Belenore ( bell-e-nore ).

Whooof  Raven was snatched back from a black blob that looked like Ivy but she soon fell asleep without being able to tell. Soon after she woke up in a cabin. A filthy cabin with a scraped up blanket on the floor and twigs put together to form a very uncomfortable pillow. The cabin was falling apart and barely had a wall on the left side. The damage was so bad it couldn't protect you from the weather or animals. Raven saw Ivy flying around waiting for Raven to wake up. Ivy saw her rubbing her head and feeling the 3 claw marks on her check. She flew right to her and flew around her saying she was happy she was awake. Ivy had Ravens bag in her hand and gave it back to Raven.

"My Chrystal Sword!" Raven said. She was going through her bag again, and again then looked at Ivy. Raven growled and shouted "Give me my sword!" Ivy stood there in shock of Raven yelling at her for the first time. Ivy lowered down to the ground and stayed there. When the red sparks flew out of her they were stronger then ever. She flew and disappeared into white and silver sparks. Ivy turned into a human. Her gown was beautiful and flowed down. She had a staff attached to her back with a strap she wore around her shoulder to her side. Her wings were elf wings but damaged a little. Her ears were pointed and her hair was in a brade she had lying over her shoulder. Raven realized who she was. Mom!?
