The Secret of the Crystals

3 - The discovery of the secret

They started flying, Ana was following Tod because he knew the way to the Mountains of Aris, his home.
Ana was looking at the sunset, it was very beautiful, the ocean was moving a little because of the wind, some fish jumped off the water and came back inside it.
There were birds close to Ana and Tod, one bird looked at Tod with some curiosity, asking itself if Tod was a real bird or not.
After some time flying, Ana and Tod arrived at the Mountains of Aris, Sophia was there on the shore of the beach, looking at them.
They both landed at the sand and Sophia looked at Tod, smiling, happy to have her son back.
"Thank you so much, Ana, for bringing my son back, I was very worried," said Sophia, smiling while looking at Ana, she hugged Tod tight.
"I'm sorry for worrying you, mom," said Tod, looking sad at Sophia.
"It's okay my dear, let's eat, food is ready," said Sophia, starting to walk to the village of the Kódeks.
"Can Ana stay, mom?" asked Tod.
"Of course, son, she is welcome here," said Sophia, smiling at Ana.
"Come on," said Tod smiling lightly while looking at Ana.
The trio started walking to the village of the Kódeks.
Ana looked at the crystals and the Kódeks of the village, everyone walking around and doing stuff.
Sophia started walking to the canteen, Tod, and Ana following her.
They arrived at the canteen, Ana and Tod sat together at a table, Sophia brought some food for them, they started to eat together.
"Here is very good, at the Mountains of Aris, it is a good place to spend some time," said Tod, looking at Ana.
"Yeah, I agree, here is very good Tod, hehe," said Ana, smiling while looking at Tod.
"Hey, Ana, is there anything you're interested in? Like, learning something new..." asked Tod while eating sometimes.
"Yes, I wanted to discover the mystery of the crystals, I and my race doesn't know how they appeared on the ground or what is their origin," said Ana.
"Oh, we know the mystery of them, but people here don't care about it too much, it's too mundane for them.
We already use the crystals in a way, but I want you to discover by yourself, hehe.
Take a visit to our library, probably there's a book with the origin story of the crystals, but we have a lot of books, hehe," said Tod, smiling.
"Okay, thanks, Tod, I'll take a look later, thank you for receiving me here," said Ana.
"No problem, Ana, you're a friend to me, is always good to have you around," said Tod, smiling gently at Ana.
"Hehe, thanks," replied Ana, smiling too.
They both finished eating, Sophia said she was going to sleep a little at her hut, Ana thanked them for receiving her there and waved her hand.
Tod said that he was going to play some ball with the kids in the center of the village.
"Go there if you need anything, Ana," said Tod, smiling.
"Thanks, Tod," said Ana, smiling.

Then Ana started walking in the village, she asked a Kódek where the library was, he pointed her the way.
She started flying to the library, Ana arrived there and flew high in the library, she picked up four books to read.
The fairy sat at one table in the library and started reading, she was reading a book of the story of the Kódeks, maybe there was something about the crystals there.
She grabbed some fruits from the canteen some minutes ago, before she, Tod, and Sophia ate, she left those fruits close to her on the table in case she became hungry.
The book told the story of the Kódeks, their secrets, how they lived, how they arrived at the Mountains of Aris.
Ana looked to her right, there was a Soul Wasp there, reading a book, she had orange hair and an orange body, her body was shining.
(I imagine the Orange Soul Wasp being the Flame Princess from the cartoon Adventure Time, but with fairy wings and a shining body like a soul.)
Ana thought that she was so beautiful, so shiny, she liked how the Soul Wasps looked, they looked like angels.
Then Ana continued reading her book, the Soul Wasp flew close to her, she looked at the book that Ana was reading.
"Hey, what are you reading?" asked the Soul Wasp.
"Oh, hey," said Ana, getting a little surprised, she did not see the Soul Wasp coming close to her, "I'm reading the story of the Kódeks".
"Oh, that's interesting, they have a pretty great and rich story, I liked to read it," said the Soul Wasp.
"Hehe, yeah, I agree... Are you reading something?" asked Ana.
"Yes, I'm reading a book that tells about the Soul Wasps and the Fairies," replied the Soul Wasp.
"Oh, that sounds interesting, can I read it too?" asked Ana.
"Of course! You're a fairy right?" asked the Soul Wasp.
"Yes, I'm a fairy," replied Ana.
"Oh, I always thought Fairies were quite cute, their wings are so cute and beautiful, ehehe," said the Soul Wasp.
"Hehe, thanks, I always thought Soul Wasps were cute too, their body is really beautiful, their light.
The way they shine, it is marvelous, astounding to look at," said Ana, smiling to the Soul Wasp, a little flushed.
"Hehe, I'm happy that you think that, thanks," said the Soul Wasp, smiling while being a little flushed.
"Maybe we can switch books if you want, I would like to read the story of the Kódeks too, again, hehe," said the Soul Wasp.
"Okay, that sounds good, can I ask your name?" asked Ana.
"Yes, my name is Rose," replied the Soul Wasp.
"My name is Ana," said Ana.
"Okay... I'll continue reading my book, tell me when you wanna read it okay?" asked Rose.
"Okay, thanks, Rose," said Ana, smiling at her.
Rose walked back to her chair and continued reading the book that tells about the Soul Wasps and the Fairies.
Ana continued reading the book of the story of the Kódeks.
