___________________________________________________________________________
The fire was glowing very bright. Next to the campers in a deserted mountain of the Trittanian coast. The heat of the fire warmed them from the winter cold. The frigid night was a perfect time for Tansil and Kori's night in their makeshift cabin. The small group successfully predicted the cold weather. But they were prepared inside the cabin. They felt comfy like they were inside a soft bed.
Tansil and Kori were eating their lucious dinner under the moonlight right next to a cliff with their winter coats on. They finished eating and they both put their two, leather gloved hands near the warm fire. The heatness made them roasted from the winter cold.
It was getting dark. The stars reached the top, the moon shone it's glowing light at the cliff casting a shadow amongst them. It was time to rest. So Tansil used some sand and there it went straight to the fire. It immediately turned into small ashes and finally the cliff turned dark. The frigid cold air invaded the warmness they just felt.
Tansil and Kori entered their makeshift wooden cabin that was made out of sturdy wood. The interior was a small fireplace with wood logs in it.
They also had a wooden, circular, table in the middle of the house, right next to the fireplace. They probably wouldn't use the table because they already had a camping place outside the cabin.
Behind the fireplace was the main bedroom with a soft comfy bed. Resting next to a small table and one candle next to it.
Tansil checked outside of their cabin. He looked at the unpacked food outside, right next to the unlit fireplace. He looked to his right. The exit to the steep mountain had tree paths along the way. He thought that animals would come and take the food. He put the left out food in a bag.
Suddenly she heard Kory scream in fear, "ahhhhhh!"
"What happened?" Tansil asked back.
"Uhh did you happen to put a black hole while you were building the cabin, Tansil%u2026?"
. . . . . .
"Are you done yet Joshua, you're calculating is like taking you forever," Asha complained.
Tony just laid on his back on the floor of the dark palace where 'Queen Zheria' is. Tony had quite a nice sleep. Once he woke up, he played a game of "matching patterns to disappear the platforms!"
Surely that plan did not work. What was Joshua doing for this eternity? Well just speed writing%u2026 something?... on his not pad he always keeps. And just flipping one thin page to another. Gold was helping him calculate the right distance, velocity, and angle to get across the platform without%u2026 well%u2026 being unconscious for the rest of their lives%u2026 or more easily saying that, dying.
Asha? Well he was just standing there. No action happening, not a flich. Not even one millimeter. He was completely frozen there. Just standing. But not long ago he just started swearing and cursing and even attempted to%u2026 dig underground to get to the other side. It was a relief that Tony had stopped him.
Well it was a stupid idea anyway. If he'd actually, for real life, had dug underground and tried to escape this place. It would have failed since you were trying to jump on the platforms without falling infinitely. So digging underground to the point the fall ending was%u2026 not smart of him.
But hey, it's Asha, so it would be expecting for him to just come up with a crazy plan, and even go there without dying. So this was normal. So what did Asha do while Joshua was taking an enormously long time calculating with gold and writing super fast on his notepad? Well he just went to sleep because he was too tired of cursing.
Asha took a deep breath. He had just woken up from his sleep because of his cursing.
Tony looked at him, "nice dreams?"
"Well maybe one od Joshua not even calculating and just rush to get to the other side and actually turned out successful so then-"
Joshua yelled, "done! Now we can get out of here!!!"
"Ok, nevermind," Asha said looking at Joshua. "So how do we get out of here?"
"Well the thing is we don't%u2026"
"We don't what?!" Asha exclaimed
"Tony was right," Joshua grabbed out his notepad he had been writing on, "you see, the crystals create the pattern. But Tony already used all the patterns for all of the crystals. So that means we're missing one%u2026"
"How many are we missing, I guess it is 3 because that would technically mean that all the crystals represent the seven realms, I mean Isn't the void trying to do that? So It makes sense to make it that way. But%u2026 there are no three other rooms around here, not even one, even if there's only one missing then we have to go in some other room right?"
"Asha that makes sense but%u2026 you are wrong about the 'no rooms' statement," Asha looked confused at what Joshua was saying. Joshua explained, "if there are no room ahead of us, or behind us, or to our left and right. Then the only place to look is at the bottom or the top%u2026"
"Bottom," Asha answered immediately.
"Very well then%u2026 let us dig."
"Yeah how are we-"
BOOM!!!
A big explosion caused them to fall underneath. The dirt and ashes rising to the top of the palace. Smoke appeared on all sides and it felt like they hit somewhere%u2026
Once the smoke and ashes moved and finally the team could see better. The saw that Joshua had created a big explosion causing it to dig right underneath their feet. And guess what? There was a tunnel down there.
Tony must've mistaken his theory. It turns out you wouldn't have fallen infinitely underground.
"See%u2026" Asha said. "I was right about this.
The tunnel was a very dark place with torches placed on the side. It looked like a cave but Jpshua knew this was something that "Queen Zheria" or whoever would put for a secret entrance. Joshua also knew that the stone surrounding them (which looked like a cave) was all fake because Arolsas taught him that this stone was not real before the battle had even begun.
"Sooo where are we?" Asha asked
"You know this is a tunnel right?" Joshua asked back.
"Correction, no, I did not know this was a tunnel, but actually by the looks of it, it looks more like a cave%u2026 so I guess we call it a cave, or mine%u2026"
"You know Arolsas teached me earlier that this isn't real stone, like when I mean real stone I mean stone that comes from nature%u2026 from earth%u2026"
"So we go through this tunnel you say?" Tony asked, looking at how deep the tunnel was from his distance.
The tunnel looked like it would go on for infinite years. Loops and curves and some parts just go straight for 5 minutes. Each couple of torches is at least 5 meters. The smoking smell of burnt flames filled Joshua's nose. He examined where the smell of snake was coming from, could it be an enemy, or fire erupting somewhere along the cave-
Asha interrupted his thoughts, "someone smell a burnt flavor somewhere?"
Joshua and Tony instantly raised their hand up.
"The end," Asha asked
"Don't know," Joshua replied.
"Guess it wasn't smart putting fire in a secret tunnel, because I guess this is going to collapse anyway," Tony stated. Well, he was true, the mine was going to collapse.
"Make a run for it?" Asha suggested.
"Maybe even just going in the boring room of puzzles," Tony asked.
"Well where is the fire anyway?" Joshua asked
The weird part was not that fire just suddenly erupted in the middle of nowhere in a cave made out of fake stone that actually was a secret tunnel under ground a room of puzzles in a palace that was held by Zheria, no. it was the fact that when the fire was happening, most people would just run for their lives and scream for help and be very desperate. To the team? Nope! They were just unconcernedly chatting. Not even caring that the fire is like 1 yard next to them.
"I guess the fire is here," Asha stated, "the smell is getting stronger."
"Should I attack since the weakness of fire is water or do you attack because I heard you fight fire with fire you'll get no fire%u2026 but wait no fire means no you, asha%u2026 then I guess all go," Tony said.
"How are you gonna do that?"Asha asked.
"Well I guess I'll just use my water abilities."
"Seriously, all you got%u2026"
"Well How am I gonna fight fire then?"
"Oh maybe I didn't think about that."
So what did Tony do to put out the fire? Well that sure is a hard question. Maybe even a little complicated to explain. You see, once you have an element, you can basically spawn that materiell that your element is (except for the element of air of course).
So the only thing Tony really did was just spawn a bit of water in his hands and then he just infinitely spawned water balls. Then he threw the water ball and the fire. And guell what? It worked.
"So it's that easy," Asha looked quite surprised.
"Well of course it is," Tony responded
"I thought fire was a really strong material?"
"Well you know water's weakness right, it's water."
"Yeah but that doesn't mean you can spawn a water ball in your palm that is the size of an apple that destroys all fire, that's cheating%u2026 I mean maybe not cheating, but maybe 50/50 cheating because first of all you're breaking the rules of nature."
While Tony and Asha were talking Joshua was already ahead of the two. He turned back at them while running, he yelled, "come on we don't have all day."
So Tony and Asha ran towards Joshua to catch up.
Joshua stooped. Once he did the others did the same. There were 3 passage ways. There was one in the front that led to more fake stone, one passageway to the right where there was real stone, and a railroad with a cart, it looked like a real mine. The last one was a hallway that was made out of concrete, it led to a large room, and then it led to another hallway, the rooms were out of their vision.
"Ok so we need to split up%u2026" Joshua said.
"Ok, so I will go to that
that is it for now people
hop you like my book so far, I hope you reached it here ;)
