The next morning

Yinsu was a little nervous, among all these people she only knew Crown Prince GuānYû that to because he had visited when she was young and that was around ten years ago, she had to take them to their town's largest mountain which had been terrifying their people from going up there and collecting woods, herbs, fruits and many other gifts nature provided selflessly, she noticed Fire Master entering the room with Crown prince, they were speaking in whispers, they would have breakfast and then leave for the mountains,

Lord Ping was pacing in the room where his daughter stood near the window, he was worried for the safety of his daughter, no matter how powerful the Crown prince is a father is always worried for their child, he noticed the three women appearing a few minutes after Crown Prince and Fire Master, he was a little assured thanks to Wind Master about his daughter's safety,

They sat down for breakfast, Yìfēi noticed ShuîYuê's eyes were puffy and red, and she knew why, " Be very careful Your Highness, the slopes are quite steep at some parts, and it's slippery due to rain," Lord Ping cautioned,

" We'll be fine," Crown Prince assured looking around the room, Water Master was finally eating something instead of poking and staring at her bowl of rice, unlike last night, " All of you are prepared?" He asked. All four elementals either replied or nodded their heads,

They got inside the carriage and it drove them to the foot of the mountain, everyone clasped their things properly before they began to hike up the mountain, Crown Prince stopped when they were a little further inside the forested mountain, " I have some import points to remind," he began, "I'll be in the front with Miss Ping right behind me, she'll guide us, at the back of the group will be Fire Master," Xiàn Fèng nodded his head, " Towards right and left will be Earth and Water Master, Wind Master will walk with Miss Ping in the centre," GuānYû told, he had noticed Yinsu was more comfortable around Wind Master, " Keep a sharp eye, do not talk unnecessarily, save energy, we don't know what we are getting ourselves into, do not wander off in any condition, and no matter what do not get separated," he added sternly,

" Yes, Your Highness," Earth Master replied, GuānYû nodded his head at her, and they began to walk,

Water Master glanced around the forest while watching where she was going, something didn't sit right with her, 'How come it's so quiet? There should be birds, twittering or at least insects buzzing. It's deadly quiet,' she thought, sharing a knowing look with Earth Master,

" Your Highness?" Earth Master called, GuānYû raised his hand to halt,

" Yes?" He asked as they stood in a circle,

" It's completely quiet. Forests aren't supposed to be deathly silent," Earth Master answered, glancing around the area with sharp eyes,

" I agree, it's like something is here," the Crown Prince started looking around,
