CHAPTER 8: TASK 1-TREASURE HUNT

||SKYLAR||

We were exploring the forest for the past 3 minutes, nang may magsalita sa ear piece namin.

"Task 1- Treasure Hunt, deadline: today.", boses ni Headmaster Leo.

"There's 10 treasure chests hidden in this forest. Each chests contains a gemstone. The, amber amethyst, bloodstone, sapphire, diamond, emerald, rose quartz, ruby, and obsidian."

"The group with the most gemstones collected will win the Task 1, and will get 10 points."

"Goodluck, students. Start!"

After n'yan ay wala nang nagsalita ulet. Ready na ang katawan ko para maging competitive.

The forest where we are now is very different. There are different colored trees like, pink, pero hindi s'ya sakura tree. May yellow and orange kahit hindi naman autumn sa lugar na ito. I wonder where we are now.

While we were wandering around, we found a flower field. Again, it's not just a normal flower field. May mga kakaibang flowers na nagliliwanag at gumagalaw nang kusa, ta's may mga creatures din na lumilipad sa paligid.

"Those are fairies." Ice said kaya agad akong napalingon sa harap ko.

"Wait, fairies exists?" I curiously asked kaya napatigil sila sa paglalakad.

"We're in a world where magic exists. Tsaka masanay ka na since you also have powers that no humans in the normal world has." Akiera explained. She's right, dapat masanay na talaga ako.

"Do you even know where we are right now?" Ash asked out of the blue.

"Uh, no..." But I really want to know.

"We're in Heias, a huge forest in Kreitian." Ash answered.

"K-Kreitian?! You mean kaharian nila Queen Aether and King Ares?!" I can't believe what I just heard. It was attacked right? But this place looks okay, parang hindi ito na-damage. Or maybe hindi ito napuntahan nung mga masasamang nilalang na 'yon.

"Heias is very far from the Central. Actually this world has a border, and at the end of the border is the void." Another explanation from Ice. I think ginagamit n'ya naman sa mabuti 'yung ability n'ya.

"Uhm, sorry to interupt. But maybe we should continue finding the gemstones? Baka munahan tayo ng ibang grupo na mas makalamang." Akiera said and we all nodded.

We're still in the flower field, but we saw a huge tree with glowing blue leaves. May mga nakasabit din na pearls na nagliliwanag din.

"X marks the spot." Ash said at agad kaming napalingon sa kan'ya.

"X? Where?" Tanong ni Akiera.

Lumuhod naman si Ash at pumitas ng isang bulaklak malapit sa ugat nung puno.

"This flower is called Xeroi." Agad na sagot ni Ash. The flower's color is bright yellow with pink nectars in the middle.

"Wait are we going to dig?"

"Stupid. Kaya nga treasure hunt 'yung task natin ngayong araw kasi maghahanap tayo. 'Di ka pa ba nakapanood ng mga pirate movies? 'Yung naghuhukay sila para makahanao ng treasure chests-"

"Shut up, f*cker." Bastos amp*ta. Kita nang hindi pa tapos magsalita 'yung tao, eh!

"Chill, nahukay ko na." Sabi ni Ash kaya napalingon kami sa kan'ya. Feeling ko si Ash lang ang may malaking ambag dito.
