Luke & Maya started walking to the West, taking breaks every single kilometer. When they reached very far away, far away from Crush Town. They thought it was going to be easy, except for this...

"Jeez, how much have we walked already?" asked Maya.
"I don't know. But I'm so tired, I feel like I could sleep like Sleeping Beauty." said Luke.
"Haha, funny. We better keep going."
As they walked up the hill they saw an enormous castle.
"Ok speaking of Sleeping Beauty." said Luke looking at the huge castle.
"Wow." said Maya with her mouth wide open.
"Should we go there." asked Luke.
"I guees so." said Maya.
They started walking towards to it and it got bigger every time.

"It looks interesting." said Maya.
"Why can't we just go around it?" asked Luke.
"Don't you see that cliff surrounding the castle? Also c'mon Luke, it's an adventureee!" said Maya jumping and giggling.
"Are you serious? Well I guess we could." said Luke.
They got face to face to the castle and the giant door stood right in front of them.
"OPEN!" yelled Luke.
"You know it's not going to open." said Maya.
"I know, but there must be something.."
"Hey look, read this." said Maya looking at a wooden sign.

Caste of 1964
From the old and ugly cabin to a fancy giant castle.
Jupryet Collhin, Lord of the Pigs.
This castle will remain stable for as long as needed. If you're not invited, don't come in. Unless you're brave enough and open the door to your death.
-
2001
Death of the Lord Collhin.
His spirit remains. Still, do not come in.
S ctre Cdoe - 1964

"What does it say at the end?"
"I don't know, I can't read it." said Maya.
"Well, let's open the door." said Luke.
"Don't you see the size of that door, we won't be able to open that thing." said Maya putting her hands on her hips.
"There must be a way in." said Luke.
Maya started going around the castle looking for a way in, and Luke too as well.
Luke gasped. "Maya! I found something."
"What is it?" asked Maya.
"See that? That opened window over there." said Luke pointing to a window.
"Nice, but, it's too high." said Maya.
"Mmm... Oh! Get up in my shoulders and then you pull me up."
"Great idea, ok." said Maya.
Maya put her feet on Luke's shoulders and got her hands in the opened window.
"Ok help me go higher." said Maya pulling herself up.
"I'm trying!" said Luke.
Maya's head was already inside. Then her hole body was inside.
"WOOOAH!" yelled Maya as she fell down some random stairs.
"What happened?" asked Luke worried.
"Not much, just fell down some stupid stairs, now come on, let me pull you up." said Maya stretching her hands to Luke.
Pulling Luke up was easier then pulling Maya, he was already in.
"Woof. What are these stairs doing here? Leading straight to a window." asked Luke.
"I don't know, maybe it's there for an unexpected escape or something." said Maya
"Ok let's keep going."
They went downstairs and entered a huge living room.

"Holy Molly." said Luke with his mouth wide open.
"This place is huge!"
"I know, but we have to get out of here." said Luke.
"Ok, I'll go upstairs and you go to that hall over there." said Maya.
"Ok, let's do this, if anything happens just scream.. 'TUNA!'" said Luke.
"Why tuna?" asked Maya.
"I'm hungry." said Luke and Maya luaghed.
Maya started going up the huge staircase and Luke was running through a gigantic hallway. Luke opened the first door just to be welcomed by pile of coweb. He shut the door immediately. He opened another door and this one was a weird one, it was another hallway, a smaller one, full of shelves with weird objects. A little rug in the floor read "TREASURES".
"Woooo" said Luke as he saw the valuable things.
On the other side Maya found another long hallway when she got upstairs, she went to the left, just to find a huge dark room with a throne on the back. She went there and took a look at a dusty skeleton with a ridiculous crown on it's head. She felt it's hard skin, she read a golden plate that said "Jupryet Collhin, Lord of the Pigs, she looked up. A pair of green eyes appeared right in front of her, then gigantic wings flew in the air as a huge owl started. to fly in the big room.
"TUNAAAAAAA!" yelled Maya as she sprinted by the hallway.
Luke heard Maya scream, but before he left, he took some things from the shelves.
"What happened!!!" screamed Luke as he saw Maya running downstairs.
"This happens!" said Maya running behind Luke as he saw the owl.
"WEEELLHHGGG" screeched the owl as it flew down.
"We have to get out fast."said Luke avoiding the owl's peak.
"I saw another opened window in a hallway upstairs, we have to go there and jump out to the other side." said Maya running away.
"But we have to distract the bird!" yelled Luke.
"The dagger." said Maya to herself. "Luke, back off." as she got one dagger out of her boot.
Luke ran behind the owl and the owl sprinted towards Maya.
"MAYA!" screamed Luke trying to stop the bird.
"Ok, you can do this." she said to herself and then threw the dagger to the owl stabbing him right in the eye.
The owl lost control and collapsed with a big golden pig statue.
"Come on, to the window!" yelled Maya as she ran upstairs.
"Almost there!" said Luke getting closed to the window.
"JUMP!" she yelled.
Luke jumped out of the window and then before Maya could get out she heard the bird taking footsteps right behind her, it screeched again so hard this time that it almost left Maya deaf, but she managed to jump out. Splash! Sounds the water.
Maya tried to breath again as she got out of the water. Luke was already out, and Maya swam out of the water just to hear the bird crashing the castle walls and falling unconscious in the water, bricks fell down in the water and a little bit close to Maya and Luke.

"Goodness gracious, that was close." said Luke recovering from what just happened.
"Yes.." she gasped "Luke! The Journal! It got wet!" she said as she got it out of the soaked bag and turned it on. Nothing happened.
"Oh no." said Luke wanting to die.
The screen of the journal turned on again.
"OH yes. I thought it was dead, but now I remember, it's 2076, tablets are totally waterproof." said Maya.
"Where are we heading to?" asked Luke.
"Tecgrill City, it's pretty far away" she said.
"It's getting late, we better hurry then." said Luke.
"I see little cabins over there, but we have to run." said Maya.
"Well let's go." said Luke running.
Both of them started running straight to a little farm, when they got there, everything was abandoned so they slept in hay for the night and in the morning they started following a path.
Maya gasped "Did you see that?"
"What?"
"I just saw a spaceship launching in the air!" Maya said surprised.
"That means we are close to the go and back thing." said Luke.
"For the last time, it's Space Go&Back" she said.
They kept walking and a huge city, even bigger than Pixel City, the saw tall and thin buildings, more flying cars, crystal bridges for people.

"Let's keep running." said Luke.
"Wait, let me rest, we have a long way ahead." said Maya.
