Jake, Finn and Joan, rushed northwest, towards the mountains, where they hoped to find the Land of the Lake Arch in time. Luckily, they survived an attack from, the terrifying fyrnocks on their town. Fyrnocks are vicious creatures from the Southeast, and now they were hunting them. Terrified, all of them wished, to find this mythical ‘safe land’, which they were told as kids, to go there if something happened. The Lake Arch was a portal that only appeared on a full moon. That which a full moon will happen today. There, they would find people from other towns that have been destroyed …show more content…
“Do you really think so that will be finding this ‘lake arch?” asked Joan
“We will be only finding the lake arch if you just shut up. The lake arch is the way to go as we know we will be safe there” said Finn
“how do you even know it even exist?” said Joan
“I have hope that it does exist and that we will find it today. Plus, I do trust Mum and

“You found the arch?” asked Finn
“No, but I did find the lake. Now we can just follow the water and then find the arch.” Replied Jake as he pointed in the direction of the water.
Rapidly, they all ran down the hill, in the direction of where Jake pointed too. As all of them were excited, even Joan, all of them were running as fast as a cheater. Soon hours passed, with them still not finding the lake or the arch.
“I think were defiantly lost. We’re probably going in circles.” complained Joan.
“don’t give up Joan. I know we’re close, just have patience and hopefully going the right way.” Said Finn
“I was sure that we are going in the right direction” said Jake
More hours past, with them really thinking that they were lost. With 15 minutes until midnight. They were uncertain if they would make it. It was dark now and unsafe.
“yup, we’re lost” said Joan
“shhh” said Jake
‘listen, water.”
They ran as fast as they could. To founding a boat just sitting on edge.
‘grrrrrr”
All of them pointed there touches in the direction of were the sound came from.
“fynocks! Quick get in the boat”

    He came upon them as he turned a crook in the coast line; and his first thought was that he had come upon a village, for there were many lights. But as he forged along he saw to his great astonishment that all the lights were in one enormous building--a lofty structure with pointed towers plunging upward into the gloom. His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau; it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows.’”…

    By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule— From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE—Out of TIME. Bottomless vales and boundless floods, And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods, With forms that no man can discover For the tears that drip all over; Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore; Seas that restlessly aspire, Surging, unto skies of fire; Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters—lone and dead,— Their still waters—still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily. By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone…
