Stone of Gaia Island

Chapter 7

He put his hand on the triangle, and muttered a few words, then, he grabbed a green liquid and poured it on the crystals, they glowed red, and then the rocks behind it crumbled on the stairs, the echo faded away down the shadowy depths.

"What is that?" I asked, "a potion?"

"Alchemy," he said, putting the bottle in his bag, "I told you, I study it, I know almost everything from the last 1000 years."

"Wow..." I muttered, walking through the new pathway, there was a cave, with more dark crystals, and water running at the bottom. It was cramped, and dark. I fumbled around in my backpack and pulled out my heating jar, an orange light flickered through the cave as we walked.

After walking for a few minutes, there was plants covering the end of the cave, I lifted the vines and looked out, I gasped.

There was a giant lake at the bottom of the cavern, it was a deep purple hue, and around it, was thousands of plants thriving around it, rafflesias, sunset orange orchids, crystalline trees, pink tiger lily, split leaf philodendron, and many more that I couldn't name,

On the top of the cave, there was glowing purple crystals with fireflies circling around them, and a waterfall the shade of sunset.

"it's beautiful." Akrasia said, peeking out of the tunnel, "in a year, all of this is going to be gone?"

I gulped, "yeah..."

I couldn't even believe myself; all of this was here for who knows how long, and it will all be a part of the past in one year.

"Come on," I said, let's go down

We climbed on Lantern's back, and flew down, the warm air hitting our skin, Lantern gracefully landed on the light purple grass, and we carefully jumped of, it was absolutely mesmerising, all the fireflies, and plants, I wanted to draw it in every possible perspective, but for now, we had to kill the dragon.

"Where is it?" Akrasia asked, looking around, "I don't see a dragon..."

"let's look around," I muttered, staring at the deep purple crystals in awe, "maybe we'll find something."

But once I got closer, I noticed the plants were quite dark, some had leaves missing, or roots dug up and broken.

"Did you find anything?!?" I shouted, Akrasia was at the other side of the cave by then,

"Yes, but no dragon!" he shouted back, "and don't yell anymore, who knows how sturdy those crystal stalactites are!!!"

"It will be fine!!!" I yelled, not listening, a human is weaker than me, why do I have to listen to him?

Then, I found a small gold thing halfway under the dirt, I gasped.

"HEY!" I yelled, "I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING!"

He ran towards me, "why are you yelling?!? We could get killed!!!"

Then he stopped. His eyes looking up, I saw his mouth mutter something not loud enough for me,

"r... run"

"What?" I said, confused,

"MOVE!!!"

I looked up, a sharp crystal stalactite, was falling right above me,

I screamed.

I'm dead.

I'm definitely dead.

But I don't feel anything...?
