That Blue Fire

Chapter 9: King Grogan Thump

The entire universe turned white- Emitting such a blinding light that I was surprised I could keep my eyes open. I was sure I was dead, Until...

It all stopped, The dark ball of Lightning was a beautiful chandelier lighting up the grove and there were the ten Mythic Dawn members, On the forest ground, Dead. But something was wrong- Somebody wasn't with us anymore... I turned around, slowly. Then I regret what I saw so much, It was Throg, Laying on the floor as well. Dead like the others, He was the only one who knew directions to King Grogan Thump's Castle! We all stared at his body and mourned, when Chad let out a small wimper "The Life Force" "Who's the only other person who knows the path to the castle?" I ask in worry "Throg's dead, If only he told us how to get there." "I'm not sure..." says Chad sighing. "I know," Says Roman, We all stare at him "The Grand Trokaka, Leader of the Landormas." "Roman! The Settlement of Landormas is on Mount Serminaa!" Shouts Chad "Mount Serminaa?" I ask, confused. "Don't worry." says Roman with a smirk "Every day at noon they come to the bottom of Mount Serminaa, At the River of Dreams. If you can't see, its 5 minutes until noon, the River of dreams is not too far away. Lets go!" We follow Roman to the river of dreams, Waiting until noon, Then we see Trokaka and the Landormas. 

Trokaka showed us a path. I didn't understand what he was talking about 'River of Dreams', 'Cave of Nightmares', 'Bone's Mountain' I nodded when Chad asked me if I understood it all, Then we began our hike. Trokaka gave us a map, a sacred map only known to Landorma Village Elders. We crossed rugged terrain, Get stung by bees, trip on rocks, nearly drown in rivers, and then... 

The Palace,

It finally came into view, Gleaming Pearl white towers topped with golden domes. To me, it looked like the Taj Mahal from the Travel Guides. Crystal Clear waters surrounded it, "The River of Dreams..." Chad muttered.
