The Secret of the Crystals

11 - The visit and the ancient stairwell

It was morning, Ana did not know what day it was, but she knew that she was living in the year 2052, her Exo suit said that.
She woke up and got out of bed, doing her morning necessities, after that, she walked to the kitchen to eat breakfast with her family.
The family started eating, it was delicious, some bread with some vegetables.
"Hey, my dear, I already put a fairy in charge of being an explorer, you'll have to teach her how to drive the spaceship," said Jena.
"Okay mom, will do," said Ana.
After eating breakfast, Jena left the hut to do her fairy leader things in the center of the village.
Lindsay and Panda were going to play some ball at the beach, Ana thought that the breakfast was delicious.
She walked out of the hut and walked to the center of the village, searching for the new explorer fairy.
"Hey," said a fairy who was leaning against a tree.
"Hi," said Ana, who walked to the fairy, "So you're the new fairy explorer?" asked Ana.
"Yeah," replied the fairy, she looked like she was at the age of Ana.
"So, wanna learn how to drive the spaceship?" asked Ana.
"Okay, let's go," replied the fairy, she had yellow hair and yellow wings, Ana and her started walking to the hut.
"I'll bring the spaceship to the shore of the island, follow me," said Ana, who entered the spaceship and turned it on, lifting it.
Ana flew to the shore of the island and landed the spaceship there, the fairy followed her.
After that, Ana got out of the spaceship and told the fairy to sit on the driver's seat.
"What's your name?" asked Ana.
"My name is Petra, what's yours?" asked Petra.
"Mine's Ana," replied Ana, then she started teaching Petra about the commands of the spaceship, what the buttons did.
After a bit of theory, Petra was ready to fly, Ana guided her on how to lift the spaceship, turn it, and accelerate.
She was very good at piloting the spaceship, after that, she landed the spaceship on the ground as Ana said.
Then Ana gave an Exo suit and multi-tool to her, she taught her how to use both.
After that, Petra thanked Ana, she smiled, Ana said no problem, smiling too, looks like Ana made a new friend.
Ana then walked back to the hut, she was a little tired, she took a bath, it looked like it was afternoon, the driving lesson took some hours.

The girl wanted to go on an adventure today, but she wanted to go alone, she flew to the beach and found Lindsay and Panda.
"Hey, sis, is it okay if I want to go on an adventure alone?" asked Ana to Lindsay.
"Oh, it's okay sis, I'm gonna miss you," replied Lindsay, hugging Ana.
"Me too," said Panda, hugging Ana too.
"Where are you going?" asked Lindsay.
"I'm gonna pay a visit to Tod, and then I'm gonna explore the world a little," replied Ana.
"Okay, I'm gonna tell mom so she does not get worried okay?" asked Lindsay.
"Okay sis, also tell her that I already taught the new explorer fairy how to pilot the spaceship, how to use the Exo suit and multi-tool," replied Ana.
"I love you two," said Ana, hugging Lindsay and Panda.
"We love you too, sis," said Panda and Lindsay.
After that, Ana held her necklace, her wings appeared and released glitter, she started flying high in the sky.
Ana held her necklace to know where Tod was, she started flying in that direction.
Then, after some minutes of flying, Ana arrived at the Mountains of Aris, she landed on the beach.
Ana noticed that all of the Kódeks were in their humanoid forms, she found that weird, the Kódeks would never stay in their humanoid forms in public.
"Hey, do you know where Tod is?" asked Ana to a Kódek.
"Yes, he is at the village center, there," replied the Kódek, pointing to the village center.
"Thanks," said Ana smiling, "No problem," said the Kódek, it was a girl.
After that, Ana started walking to the center, she found Tod there, he was also in his humanoid form, his mother, Sophia, was there too.
"Hey, Tod, what happened?" asked Ana in a low voice.
"Heey Ana, good to see you, what? Oh, the Kódeks.
Well, I showed them that we do not have to be ashamed of who we are, of our true nature, being humans, or humanoids.
Of, course, being a bird has its advantages, like flying, or not having much hunger, being able to eat a lot of things found in nature.
But I showed them that we can be ourselves and not hide our true self because of an old race that cursed us," replied Tod, who hugged Ana.
"Oh, that's very interesting, you really did change this place, right? Hehe," asked Ana.
"Yeah, I'm very happy, hehe, and I'm happy that you're here with me to see this.
Want me to show you the place?" asked Tod.
"Sure, hehe," replied Ana.
