"Oh... this one...." she looked at the cover and turned two pages. A little map was visible on the page, well defined and extremely detailed, "This is another one of my favorites."
her hand touched his and the room began to change into a lush field. A tower stood silhouetted against an amber sky. She and count were on horses with hooded cloaks.
"This is The First King of Shannara!" She looked around and waited a moment, "We can explore the country side as long as we like. There is no time limit here. time here moves very quickly. Days can pass here and we won't ever be missed, for only seconds have gone by in reality.

Marcus threw Max a quizzical look. "Might be true... But think of it this way. At least you know what and who your father is. For all I know, I could be a prom-night-dumpster-baby." He said jokingly.

(Count was looking around in all directions. He was both taking in what Map was saying and the larger than life scenery that surrounded them. It was as if they had entered into a painter's masterpiece. Count looked at Map, he just realized what power she had.)
Count: You can have all the moments of life without time... So where shall we go?
.....
(Psychonaut looked at Marcus and gave him a short pretentious chuckle. Talia gave a loud HA, almost trying to mock him. She was standing at a far distance, but had been listening to the conversation intently. She walked over to where Marcus and Psychonaut were standing. She pointed her finger inches from Marcus's face.)
Talia: If you think for a second that Maxy or I have any sympathy for you, think again! Count my have accepted you so easily, but I haven't!!
(She was almost screaming at the top of her lungs. By passers that lived in the castle stared at the group with suspicion and awe. There was yet another awkward moment that was interrupted this time by one of the triplets.)
James: Anyone hungry?

Marcus smirked at her comment. Then with his index finger and his thumb he gently move her finger away from his face. "Who said I wanted sympathy?" He replied, then added under his breath but loud enough for her to hear, "Feisty. But I would rather have a calmer girl. Some one down to earth and cool like water." Then he looked at the boy who offered food. "I am sorry. But what was your name? And yes I am starving."And just to annoy Talia. "Arn't you Max?"

(Max was hungry, but he had not realized it until now. The only think in his mind was his mission of finding his mother. All he's had to eat was the roasted honey peanuts they had on the plane. They never really carried real food on Count's plane, since the man never eats anything. He looked at Marcus and nodded. The boy that offered them food looked at Marcus.)
James: I'm James and my brother here is Nick. We have another brother named Alex, but I haven't seen him around.
(He turned to his fellow triplet to check if he had seen him. Nick moved his head left to right.)
Nick: No idea.
James: Oh well.. You'll meet him later. Alright, just follow me, dinner should be ready.
(James lead the group through the corridor and down a staircase. Talia had a sinister expression as he looked at the back of Marcus's head. She then turned to Psychonaut. He know want she was thinking and he sent a mental message to reject the idea.)
I'm not going to make him shoot himself, if that's what you are wondering.
(The expression on her face faded away as they continued walking down the stairs.)

When the group reached the end of the stair case Marcus looked over his shoulder and said, "Hey, you O.K. back there? You have been really quiet." Then to no one in particular, "Actually you all have been pretty quiet. You guys arn't ploting to put poision in my food." Then more to Talia. "Are you?" Durning that last comment, Marcus had a rather rouge-ish smile across his face. It plainly said Go ahead... I DARE you. Then he turned his attention back to two of the three tripplets. "So how long have you been here?"

(Max looked at Marcus and began to lip sync the words "don't tempt her." Talia looked at Max and automatically stopped, then she looked coldly at Marcus.)
Talia: No, but thank you for that wonderful idea.
(Talia said while rolling her eyes. Nick and James had no idea what was between Marcus and Talia. A part of them thought they were only joking, but it seemed to be bigger than that. Nick turned to Marcus to answer his question.)
Nick: We've been here for two days. We were ordered by Psychonaut's sister, Winterfire, to remain here.
(From the stairs, they walked down the corridor that would take them to the dinning hall.)

the horses galloped towards the castle that was in the distance. Picturesk and majestic were the only thoughts that came to her mind when she gazed upon it, "Shall we go inside?" Map looked over to count, "It's lovely." the scenery changed into an elaborately decorated hall.

(Count looked at the castle, which overshadowed the scenery around it with its magnificence. Once they were inside the castle, Count turned to Map.)
Count: Lead the way.

"Winerfire, huh? Now where have I heard that name before?" Marcus said to himself. He thought about it for a moment then dismissed the thought with a shrug for his shoulder. "So, uh... have you ever gotten lost in here?"He asked.

(Nick looked back at Marcus.)
Nick: No, well at least not yet.
(The group finally arrived at the dinning hall. In the center of the room was a grand table. The kitchen servants were setting the table with the proper utensils. While other servants were placing dozens of pans with food on the table. As the table was being set, the people that lived in the castle were coming into the hall and taking there seats. As people were beginning to open the pans, the aroma from the food filled the room. Nick lead the group to an empty section of the table.)
James: Just take a seat and help yourselves to whatever you want.

Marcus took a seat near the middle of the table. He didn't want to look rude. <Though I already have to Talia...> He thought to himself as he seated himself.

(The group sat down at the table. Max looked around and noticed that people were already starting to eat. He opened one of the pans and began to place the food on his plate. Talia and the two triplets also began to do the same. Soon the group started eating, it was silent in the group. Nick was the one that finally broke the silence.)
Nick: Max, do you know if Count's going to join us for dinner?
Psychonaut: I doubt it. He usually never eats at all, let alone with others.
(Max cut a piece of pork with his utensils and placed it in his mouth. He smiled to himself, savoring the taste of the food.)

Marcus was just about to put a small bite of meat in his mouth when he thought about the comment on Count. He place the bite back down on the plate and asked, "Wait... Where does he get all of his energy from? I mean even Keiy, the boy that we faced, has to eat alot. Just to keep his energy up. And Talia... Doesn't your super speed also speed up your metabolism?" His face showed his seriousness.

Psychonaut: I guess he does have to eat, but I honestly don't know. We never eat together.
(He drank some of his wine, feeling a little awkward. Talia looked at Max sympathetically. She then turned to Marcus to address his question.)
Talia: Not necessarily. If it was so, then my super speed would drain my energy pretty fast. And if that was the case, the way I use my powers, I'd be dead a long time ago.
(She placed a piece of salad in her mouth and began to eat.)
