Chapter 23

"We have to follow it!" Lylia said while the scroll kept on levitating and began to fly off somewhere. The new batch of heroes and heroines left the Manor a while back and started to follow the floating and glowing scroll deep in the woods.

"I don't know about all of you but I don't like the feeling that I'm getting from here; maybe we should go back and-" Wanwan was about to finish when Lylia and Popol shushed her and then pointed to where the scroll is heading.

"The scroll is going over a gorge of some sort." Silvanna said while Lylia offered that she can use one of her spells to lift them and follow the scroll further while Popol wanted to know if there was another way that they get across- say- another way through the gorge.

"I know someone who can teleport us." Wanwan suddenly said while eyeing at Luo Yi who looks back at her with an 'are you kidding me' look.

"Wait; weren't you scared when we first got here Wan?" X-Borg asked while having a playful smirk on his face while Wanwan huffed in annoyance and told him that it was just a little act of hers so that they could go back to the Dawn Manor, but failed.

After some convincing from the others, Luo finally agreed and now used her ultimate to get them all to teleport to the other side of the gorge.

"Let my will bend the earth!"

-------------------

"Alright, the scroll is up ahead!" Popol said while Kupa howled in excitement as they followed the scroll deeper in the now blank territory of the MoonRose forest- one of the biggest forests in the land and it's the connected to the Moonlight forest which is also connected to the Evereed Forest.

"I can't seem to see the scroll anymore." Carmilla observantly said while they all observed their surroundings and immediately know that they are now lost. Masha then sniffed the air and told them that this part of the forest is untouched, meaning they don't know what kinds of creatures are lurking within those shrubs, bushes and vined trees which got Wanwan to stay a little more close to the group than she already was as they all cautiously started to wander around.

------------------

It was around a solid five minutes that they have all been wandering around the forest and with each step they took, they would hear sounds of either twigs being stepped on or whispers from around them in a language that they didn't quite know. Atlas then faced his attention towards the sky and saw that something was floating on top of them the whole time, so he alerted the other heroes and heroines who were with him as he motioned them to look upward; when they did, they all saw the familiar glowing scroll floating on top of them.

Because of this Wanwan, Popol and Lylia cheered as Wanwan asked Yu Zhong if he can transform into a dragon to which he immediately said no but after a lot of convincing from the heroes and heroines that were with him, like Luo Yi he agreed and then transformed into his dragon form and flew them up to where the scroll is, and so they continue to follow it until they reached what seemed like an abandoned kingdom with the ruined houses, worn down and broken carriages and suits of armor all around it.

They all got off of Yu Zhong as he transformed back into a half dragon-half human form and busted the already rusted chains of the gate of the broken down and abandoned castle, granting them all access as he then finally turned back to his human form. Silvanna then spotted a few broken pieces of wood and some torn out curtains and banners at the sides so she grabbed at least three broken wood and the cloths lying around and asked X-Borg if he can light the three banners with each one already wrapped around the sharp end of the broken wood and he nodded while using flammable oil that he conveniently has as well as his flamethrower of a hand to make three torches. Cecillion took one of three as well as Yu Zhong while Silvanna has the other and so they all started to split up and started to look around of what's left standing of the whole castle.
