The Gemini's Christmas [Completed]

chapter 6

"Turn around!!" The voice that stopped us commanded, we turned around slowly and he took a good look at us, it has horns on his fore head and the body of a bull, with hooves and a tail, looks normal enough.

"What are you doing wasting your time with the useless liypher?" Another one of the creature came and scolded the fool that stopped us before he could speak.

"I was just looking at them, that one looks weird." The creature that stopped us said and the other one just laughed.

"What?! Do they look threatening? They are a liypher for Satan's sake, come on let's go look for the fleshling, if we don't find it here we will go look for it in Jaelynn it couldn't have gone far." The other creature said and pulled the one that stopped us along with him.

The creature just belittled and downgraded us, it does not think we are harmful or threatening in any way, that's good we will get to our destination without being suspected but its also a bad thing, now I see why Desire disguised herself.
We kept walking and walking, my legs was starting to ache, the silence was not comfortable so I decided to break it.

"What were those creatures?" I asked curious.

"Those were Mashgores, they are guards of the ruler of myslous, he is a Scarher of course, his name is Halmort, the Scarher are causing havoc in the three realms so much that most mythical creatures are scared to come here," she said with a deep sigh, this is more serious than I thought "he must have sent them here as soon as he heard a fleshling entered Sythjy. We are now entering the valley of illusion, all you see, hear and feel is just a trick of the mind, ignore anything you see or hear." She said void of any emotion.

"Are we going to come out alive?" This is a really important question and I need a positive answer.

"Cross your fingers and hope so." She simply said.

"Why is it called the valley of oblivion instead of a forest?" I asked curious.

"Don't ask such questions, don't say anything about yourself or ask any questions that will show fear, its alive, it will use your weaknesses against you, as we enter don't show fear, don't think too much, I do not want to totally regret helping you." She said with a straight face.

"Okay." We entered the valley, I wonder why its called a valley when in actual sense it is a forest, a very thick one at that, we saw two paths, one with flowers the other dark and scary.
Desire was about to walk us through the path that was dark and scary when I stopped her.

"We can't go that way, let's go through the path with the flowers." I said in a 'duh' tone.

"I have been here a lot and I have never seen this path with flowers before just—" she started.

"We are going through the part with flowers and that's it." I told her firmly. Who would see a dark, scary path and decide to go through it.

"Do you know the way? Have you ever been through it?" She asked glaring at me.

"No but my gut tells me we should pass through the path with the flowers." I said.

"Okay but I know I am right." She said and we took the path with the flower. Something seemed wrong, I was about to tell Desire something was wrong when she beat me to it.

"This path is an illusion we are going the wrong way!!" Desire said looking around frightened.

"Are you sure about...?" Just then the path we were walking on disappeared and all the flowers turned to trees.

"Yes I am pretty sure and now we are lost." She said throwing her arms in the air

"What are you saying?" I asked confused, what is all this?
