Everglades forest

"What is your name?" Theodore asked the trader as they made their way to the forest. 

"My name is Gad. what are your names?" 

"I am Th…" Elena interrupted theodore before he could finish talking. 

"I am Helen, this is Phil." she pointed to Fife. "And this is Doreen" she pointed to Theodore. 

"It is a pleasure to meet you all" Gad replied. 

"Were you about to tell him our real names?" Elena whispered in Theodores ear. 

"Wasn't I supposed to?" Theodore whispered back. 

Once again for the umpteenth time, Elena wondered how she had ended up with people who seemed to lack common sense. 

They reached the everglades forest, the forest looked intimidating and scary. 

"Are you all ready?" Gad asked them. 

The trio linked their hands together, "Yes we are" 

"Let's go in" Gad said. They entered the forest. 

Immediately they entered they felt the change, it was as if they were completely cut off from the outside world.
