Shyla ran through the mushroom kingdom, her pupiless green eyes gleaming. Se ran straight out towards the water. Mist sprayed her face as she looked out across the vast space space. Sitting down, she pulled out a sketch book and began drawing a picture of the sunrise.

Sky saw a girl up ahead of her. She didn't want to disturb her, though, so she walked lightly on her toes. Sky ran a hand through her long brown hair, sitting on a rock near the shore. "Well, hi!" She said, trying to hide her nervousness.

"Oh my gosh," I fell over and dropped my sketch pad. Carefully picking it up and brushing it off, I looked for the source of the noise. It was girl. She looked about my age. "Who are you?" I asked plaintively.

"I'm really sorry." Sky said quickly. "And my name's Sky. Whats yours?" Her blue eyes were truly curious. "What were you drawing?" She slowly stood up and took a step closer to the girl.

"I'm trying to sketch the outline of the horizon, but I left my charcoals at home so it won't be as good," I said. "And my name's Shyla."

Sky smiled, glad that Shyla didn't seem upset. "It looks really good." She said. Well, I wouldn't know, since i am really bad,. But it looks so real!"

"Thank you," I said kindly. Perching precariously on the rocks again, I resumed my sketching, my unusual eyes glancing back at Sky every few seconds.

Sky sighed, wondering if Shyla would feel uncomfortable if she watched over her shoulder. She contented herself by staring out over the water. "What do you do for a living?" She asked unexpectedly.

"I'm an explorer for the bug kingdom but I like to draw in my spare time," I explained. Lookining up at her, I asked, "So what kingdom are you from anyway?"

Sky looked away. She didn't want to tell the girl that she was from somewhere very far away, so she said simply "Oh, I spend most of my time on outcast Island."

"Outcast Island, huh?" I asked, "I've heard of it and I wouldn't mind visiting, but King Boron won't let me out of the kingdom. I don't know why, though." I shrugged. It probablt had something to do with my foggy past, but I didn't bother asking.

"Yeah, it's really nice there." Sky said. "I don't live in the big city, though. Since I'm a journalist, I spend a lot of time in the smaller towns." Because I don't want my parents to find me. She finished in her head. "King Boron won't let you leave?" Sky was surprised. "And your okay with that?"

I nodded as she spoke. I wish I could see the city now. At her next question, I calmly answered, "It does bother me a little, but I'm sure he has a reason for makin me stay here."

Sky nodded. "Well, he is your king." She said soflty. I can't imagine obeying anyone like that.. She thought. Well, I guess I already have.

"Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever see beyond the horizon. I'd love to explore past the sky and up to the stars. That's my dream," I said dreamily. "But no one would ever let me. I mean, look at me." I indicated my pupiless eyes and the scar that wrapped up my arm.
