The truth behind cold walls

chapter 3

 

  The five friends sat at the table for a late lunch. As promised Ao-Ki prepared a whole table full of different types of food from each country, there are: nut pies from the rock land, grilled meat from the fire land evenly cooked and not burned to Riff's liking but he end up eating it anyway, cooked steamed fish and varied vegetables salads and fruits salads from the wind land.

Everyone was enjoying their meal in the presence of each other, discussing enthusiastically their plans for the journey " it's going to take approximately one month to reach each of the lands and that can take less or more days in consideration with our own pace" remarked Ao-Ki, everyone sighed in exasperation but their enthusiasm for the journey wasn't reduced the least.

.....

It was dusk the sky tinted with different beautiful hues degraded from orange to pink and violet, it was the best time for the guardian's meditation in her secluded place at the highest balcony of the tower, were the flow of energy is at it's maximum, tomorrow is a long day and it will take a lot of energy.

It was a total agreement with everyone that no one can disturb the girl at this time of day, after what happened the last time.

Flash back

Riff was searching for Ao-Ki in the one tower from place to place, till he collided with Ikor in the corridor, who was heading out from the library reading a book covering his face, knocking his friend to the ground "oups! Are you okay?" Apologized the firey helping his friend to  his feets.

- Never mind, I'm fine. It's my fault as well.

- Did you see Ao-Ki, I'm searching for minutes now without luck.

- I think she mentioned something about meditating in the highest balcony of the tower.... Riff dashed off without hearing the last words " she said not to disturb".

When the fire herald reached the door to the balcony, he dashed out without a warning, freaking the hell out of the girl, that he ended up being hit with her light orbs bearing bruises for a whole week.

End of flash back.

Ikor knocked lightly on the door warning his friend with his presence.

"You may come if it's an urgent matter" the girl sounded from the outside. He pushed the door and entered.

- Oh it's you Ikor, how can I help you in this hour. Intensifying the last word proving her dislike.

- I assure you that you'll never regret what I'm suggesting.

- What is it? I hope it's worth my time.

- The other day I saw you reading a book about mythical creatures from the ice land.

- So what's the point from bringing that up.

- What if I tell you that some of these creatures aren't mythical as they sound.

- What do you mean? There are some of those creatures in reality?.

- I'll use Cryos after you permission to take us directly there and you'll find yourself. Are you interested?

- Sure I am now.

Ikor wore his bracelet transforming to his herald appearance, lifting his hand above his head calling for his hyperbeast. He straddled the back of his beast, extending his hand toward the girl.

- Care to join me, so you don't waste your energy.

- Yeah! with pleasure. She said taking his hand. she encircled her hands around the boy's waist, when she was safely seated, they hyper jumped to their destined place.
