They didn't have time to voice their ideas to each other because the sun was starting to come up and she had to check that everything was done and deactivate the spells she had cast before the witch woke up and make breakfast. She barely had managed to get everything done and to stash her spell book inside her shirt so the witch didn't find it or it get left behind. As soon as she put the plate of food on the table the witch came out of her room and she went to loading everything in the wagon.
Once the wagon was loaded the witch opened an empty chest she had told Cenia Renae not to put anything in the night before and make sure it was easily accessable when put on the wagon and yelled, "Now, get in girl I'm in a hurry!" Cenia Renae immediately obeyed and jumped into the trunk. Once the witch closed and latched the lid and the wagon started moving she cast the blinding lights spell that she was practicing but, since she was so inexperienced and it was an intermediate spell she could only make it as bright as a candle which was perfect to read the spell book during her journey to who knows where. While she was looking at the spell book that would help to ensure that if the witch forgot about her she wouldn't suffocate in the chest called Infinite Air which can make any space breathable until it gets opened and actual air got in.It was such a long journey and most of the spells were too dangerous to cast inside the box so, she decided to put the book up and shut off the light and take a nap.
She wasn't sure exactly how long she had been asleep but, the wagon jolted her awake by bouncing her really hard in the box. It hurt her every time the wagon hit a bump. Then it felt like she was falling off the wagon but she didn't hit the ground she was still falling. She wanted to scream but, was worried if she was still on the wagon the witch would hear her and cast another torcher spell.
Finally the chest came to a stop, but she could have swore she heard a splash like she landed in a river or lake. She decided to try her link with the Golden Light and see if he could help her. "Golden Light can you hear me?" she asked. "Yes I can hear you just stay calm your floating down the river and it seems the witch didn't even notice the chest bounce out of the wagon." he replied. " I'm in the river!" she exclaimed. "Yes, calm down and just in case the chest tries to take on any water you might want to look in that book of yours for a way to keep water out." he replied. "Okay." she replied and cast the light spell and quickly started flipping pages trying to find the right spell for the situation. She found a spell called keep out which can keep dust out all the way to people depending on what you specify. She cast the spell and prayed that she didn't mess it up.
She floated down the river for what felt like hours until she just slowly came to a stop. She found an unlocking spell to open the chest and looked around to see a beautiful meadow filled with unicorns as far as they eye could see and they were so beautiful. She slowly stepped out of the box as Golden Light trotted up to her saying, "Welcome to my home." "I thought unicorns were extinct but, look at how many of you guys there are." she replied. He gave her a tour and explained the story of the unicorns. He said, " There used to be just as many unicorns as humans and everyone had magic but, some people got greedy for more magic and started hunting the unicorns. So to preserve some of the magic of the world we all came to this meadow and put a magical barrier around it where no one can find it unless you're a unicorn or they've done a mind bind with you. As the unicorns died more families started being born without magic which made the world split between magical beings such as witches and warlocks and then the non-magical folk humans." "That's so sad." she replied. "That's the way it is and we're going to stay here for a few days where you can practice your spells and hopefully the witch will stop searching for you and if she doesn't then you should have some spells to help keep her off your trail." he said. "Thank you so much for your hospitality and one day I plan on repaying you for your kindness." she replied.
Golden Light led her to a small cave next to the waterfall then with his horn conjured her some new clothes and some blankets so she could get washed up in the waterfall and then go to bed. She told him good night and he went and frolicked with the other unicorns for a bit before returning to the cave entrance to sleep.
