Chapter 7 - A Risk for the Flame! (Part 1)

 🩵Blue웃

 The group had just left the library and stopped at a small clearing. Blue sat down on the grass and reread the riddle. 

 "So, does anyone have any ideas?" Blue asked once he had finished reading. The group was scattered around the clearing, but they were still listening to what Blue was saying.

 "Well the first line obviously means to find the Ruby," Green said. "I mean, it literally says 'find the Ruby' in the first line,"

  "And I'm guessing the second line is telling us what it could do if someone uses it incorrectly," Second added.

 "The third line says 'Seek the kingdom with a land so large,' So it could mean Kindle kingdom or Sand Sha kingdom," Yellow said. "But since Kindle kingdom is bigger and related to fire, I'd say we have to go there," He added. 

 The wind gently blew their hair as they spoke. He looks so... pretty. Blue thought. Blue realized what he had just thought and quickly brushed it away. Telling himself that Yellow was his friend and that was all he was, a very pretty friend.

 "Well yes, but Sand Sha has a lot of land too, not to mention it's 'a place that's almost never dark' since during the night it's very busy because of the trading the people do there. Not to mention that it's very bright there during the day and the climate there is very hot too, so I think we should go to Sand Sha," Second explained.

 "You have a good point, but I still think we should go to Kindle kingdom. At night, I believe they would got to temple and light fires in there. Also the streets are always lit with lights nearly everywhere," Yellow countered.

 "But if we go to Kindle, we could get the quanli virus," Second said.

 "It's a risk we need to take, plus, does Sand Sha have any temples that need fire?" Yellow replied

 "Well, Sand Sha does have temples," Second countered.

  As the two argue over where the Ruby  was, Blue looked down and thought for a bit, contemplating which one to go to.

 "Where do you think we should go?" He asked Green. When he didn't respond Blue raised his head. Green was watching the argument as if it were a movie. 

Blue sighed and called his name. When he did, Green turned around.

 "Yeah?" He asked.

 "Where do you think we should go," he repeated.

 "Oh, I'm siding with Yellow on this, even though we have to risk our powers, it just seems like the Ruby would most likely be there," Green said with a shrug. Blue nodded. He went up to Yellow and Second and tried to break the fight.

 "How about we first go to Kindle kingdom and if we don't find anything there we go to Sand Sha kingdom, how about that?" Blue suggested.

 The two look at each other for a bit. "Sure," they responded.

🟠TSC/Second웃

 TSC watched the sunset. They had arrived at Kindle kingdom after a long walk. 

 "Guys, why there're no guards?" Green asked. Second looked at the gates. What Green said was true, there were no guards at the gate of Kindle kingdom.

 "Don't know," Second answered.

 "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go in already!" Green exclaimed.

 ~{}~{}~{}~

  Second stared at the brick road while he was walking through Kindle. His head down. He didn't want anyone to recognize him, nor get the virus. Is the Ruby even here? What if we wasted all our time here and there was nothing. He thought. He still thought that the Ruby was in Sand Sha.
