Lily

Chapter Four: Arriving in the Oasis

When Lily woke up, Elisa said she felt sick.
"Oh no, what's wrong?!" Lily got up and went towards the pup.
"It was the red crystals...they're fire! I can't sleep by the red crystals; they'll make me weak. I need the ice crystals to feel strong,"
"Don't worry, we'll find the ice crystal," Lily put her pup on her back and ran away from the shelter. The hill with the ice crystal was not too far away. She raced up the hill until she reached the crystal, and put Elisa down.
"Stay there," Lily said, and lay down next to Elisa. Elisa fell asleep, and Lily watched her closely. A couple hours later, she woke up.
"How do you feel?" Lily asked.
"Better," Elisa said. "Much better,"
That night, they fell asleep near some blue crystals behind a waterfall. They were probably water crystals, but Lily could infer that water crystals couldn't hurt an ice wolf, since water and ice have a relation.
When Lily woke up, she couldn't find Elisa anywhere. She didn't know what happened to her. Whatever happened, she missed her and wouldn't forget her. She wondered if she'd see her again. But she was also glad that she had more knowledge about the crystals on the island.
She walked around the island, examining each crystal. "Water...healing...earth...." she knew the ones in the adoption center were love, since that's what all pups require. The ones in the deserted looking place with dead trees were black magic. The yellow ones were sunlight. At one point she was standing at the edge of the land and looking at the ocean. She saw another island not too far away. She thought she could see what looked like a pyramid on that island. Curiosity filled her and she swam over to the island.

The new island was a desert, with cacti, a couple oases, and indeed, a pyramid. Drifts of sand blew across the island. The desert was also scattered with orange crystals, which Lily learned represented healing.
And it was HOT. Like VERY HOT. Maybe it was just because she's an arctic wolf and has thick fur, but deserts are hecking HOT. There was no desert in Summer Territory, so this was all new for her.
She walked down the path and went to the pyramid. The pyramid was made of some sort of red brick, and the doorway was decorated with a torch, a cactus, and an orange crystal on either side.
She walked inside. It was dark but dimly lit by torches, and there was a brick path going around the perimeter. In the very center, was a statue of a wolf with strange horns, bat wings without membranes, three tails that each wore a glowing orange ring, and glowing white eyes. It also wore a sword on its back, and in front of the statue was a sign that read "LORD SCORCHIS,"
Lily walked on the stone pathway that circled the statue, which led down to a stone staircase. A sign stood beside the staircase and was labeled "THE PRISON,"
She walked down the steps. The pathway led down to a dark room that was dimly lit by torches. The pathway stopped at the far wall, where a wolf sat. There were two prison cells on either side of the room, with one holding a couple prisoners.

Lily walked down the steps. She glanced around and laid down on the floor in between a few torches. She laid down and rested, still wondering if she'd ever return home.
