The Adventure To The Great Lakes

Aglands Open Doors

Hey everyone, so I haven't posted in a long time and I'm sorry for that, busy with school and practicing my instrument but here is a chapter to read for you 👇

"Well where is Agland located on the map?"

Timothy took the map out and folded it open all the destinations circled on each side of the map.

"There." Said Timothy as he poked at a singular spot on the map, near water mostly since the sides are ridged with a bit of dark green. Helen look down at the map at the one spot where Timothy was pointing, it didn't seem to hard to walk To 'n' through. Before Helen looked a way she noticed a speck of red near the middle of the water on the map. Helen narrowed her eyes and pointed at the specks of red on the water.

"What's with the red?" Helen looked at Timothy as Timothy looked down closer as the specks got bigger and more noticable. A small handwriting left Timothy dumbfounded. The letters were to small for a such small creature to read like himself. 

"There is writing on it but I can't read it, it's to small to understand or even tell what each individual letter is. Let's just start walking." Timothy said rather forwardly. As Helen just sighs and stuffs the map back and walks along the trail with Timothy down to the stream where it showed.Helen stopped near a bush as the stream of water at the river was specked with those red painted dots like on the map. Timothy looked at Helen confused  and speed over at the speckled dotted with red water.

"The red.. " Says Helen as she walks closer to the clear red specked water, it was unusual, She kneels done to the water and Timothy leans over from behind her to take a look.

"This isn't what I think it is right...?" Asks Helen, the mention of blood made Timothy shiver. But the way the red specks didn't dissolve made Helen think otherwise. Timothy leaned down to the water also and put his finger in the water, a speck of red touched his finger and emidietly dissolved.                                 "Ow!" Timothy retracts his finger from the water.

"W-what? What happened?" Helen had a mix of curiosity on her face with worry as she leans over to look at Timothy finger, a small burn was on it, like the blood totally burned him.

"You burned yourself" Timothy look at Helen with a mix of confusion.

"I couldn't have burned myself! All I touched was the red specks in the water, those red specks arn't... "normal." Helen stared at the spots in the water, maybe it was our lead to Agland.

"You think they lead somewhere? Like Agland?" 

"Helen if your suggesting we have to get in that water and let it lead us and possibly burn us alive-" Timothy didn't want to step foot in that water, knowing he'd get burned to death by the red specks of... Whatever they are. Helen still deep in thought of how we can actually get across without burning themselves was a tricky play, if it burned them it possibly could burn other things, Helen takes a rock and drops it in, it disintegrates. Helen than takes a stick and puts it in, the stick flowed through and past the red specks in the water, it dodges them and flows freely.

"Its amune to wood, all we have to do is build a raft and than we can flow down to the end of this river. Timothy... Start grabbing wood, anything wood." Timothy just stares but nods and starts collecting, Helen finds things that would possibly hold the wood together. Each and every stick and piece of wood Timothy gave her she used to hold the raft either together or build it, the raft was almost finished but it would need a test to make sure it will hold. Helen holds it out and sets it on the water still holding it and it was still in perfect shape and didn't chip.

"We're ready Timothy, let's hope it holds us" Timothy hesitates to get on but hold on and so does helen.

"Here we go..." Helen pushes the raft onto the water as it lands in the water and we flow down fast swifting through. Helen uses her arm as a shield from the water. Timothy just grabs onto the raft for dear life as we dodge a couple of the rocks too. Some edges of the wood chipped from the rocks but it was still in shape, we flowed down faster as it seemed the river was leading down, 

"A river leading down... That's surely not right."  

"U-uhm Helen.... " Timothy sees the end of the river, it was leading down a- 

"We're about to go down a waterfall!" Helens and Timothy eyes widen as they fall down the waterfall their raft falls with them as they gasp and they hit the water, they both swim up for air quickly and opened her eyes and gasped for air.

"T-Timothy are you okay?!" Timothy just noded while panting. Timothy sees land and a shack in the middle of nowhere. They both quickly swim over to land and lay down on the grass soaking wet as Timothy shakes his head rapidly causing the water to fly everywhere before looking at the shack. Timothy and Helen both look at each other with a mix of confusion.

"You think we should investigate-" Before Timothy could turn back Helen was already in front of the shack and he sighs and walk over to where Helen was as he shakes each leg off from the water. 

"You don't think this is a bit of a big turn? Going into a shack that's really creepy right after falling down a waterfall?" Says Timothy as he tilts his head at Helen and than looks at the shack.

"Well you were sent to help me and find who's waiting for me at the Great Lakes. So let's go." Helen says before opening the shack door.
