Os's Desert: 2nd Part: Jazz Alone

Jazz was on the ground, and when he woke up, he found himself in a totally different place. Instead of being in the desert, he was rock with grass. When he stood up he saw a higher rock, from which there was a beautiful waterfall. Jazz didn't know where he was, but even if so, he was at Os's Desert before losing consciousness. “Well, what is this place?” he thought to himself, and walked at the border of the giant rock he was on. The water of the waterfall made a river. Jazz had a vague memory about this, then he jumped off, with the magic he managed to bend the water up to have a more safe landing, then got out of the river, going to land. He was all wet, but it was worth it. He began to walk around, seeing more grass and rocks. He reached a small valley, and the area before him disappeared, in fact Jazz turned around, and saw more of the valley. Then darted his eyes around, ”What the?” he said confused. He kept having vague memories of the valley or waterfall of before. And continued to wander, when he got hit by a sensation of nostalgia. He saw after the valley some houses, streets and toys in between. It was all empty, abandoned, even. Even so, he remembered a bit of a small village like this. He kept walking, seeing other houses, shops and locals, all empty. Then he stopped, at the sight of his home. ”This was my house-” he figured, and backed away. But it was different, located differently, and from the inside spirits came out doing terrifying screeches that gave chills. Jazz the moment he saw these tried to back off but fell over on the ground. The phantoms went away, then disappeared. Jazz got up. “I don't get it...” he thought. He was so confused from everything around. He kept on wandering while looking around. He left the village and it was all valley again. He was also alone, didn't make things better. At this point Jazz stopped wandering without a destination. He sat down, tired. “Where do I have to go?” he questioned himself, then got hit by a scary gust of wind. “Not again-” he tried to get up. It was difficult since the wind was strong. But then, it clicked. “Wait... This storm...” he thought. He looked up, and saw the village getting torn apart to pieces, wooden parts of walls and more were flying everywhere, risking to hit Jazz. He was seeing clearly what was going on. It was all in slow motion, but he saw no soul, just pieces of houses flying. Jazz kept backing away, so he couldn't get hurt. The storm was the triple stronger than he remembered. “Darn it-” Jazz got hit by a wooden part of a wall, losing consciousness and falling over. He woke up a few minutes after, the storm calmed down, the village completely destroyed. Jazz got up, “That hurt...” he looked around, it was all gone, as if a tornado passed by. Jazz got away from there. It was all hill, and now night. He stopped to rest. Then in the distance he saw someone. It was her, July Crystal. Though Jazz didn't know her, so he got closer.  “Hey.” he said, July looked at him, their eyes staring at each other for a moment. “Hi!” she exclaimed with happy tone. “Do you know how to get out of here?” Jazz asked to her, “And who are you?” he added. July answered both questions, “Call me July, dear.” she introduced herself with a teasing expression, ”And yes, I know how to get out of here.” she replied. “Follow me.” she told him and started to walk forward. Jazz followed along. ”It will be hard, let me tell you.” she warned him, then she saw the injury on Jazz's head, her playful expression replaced by one of worry. “What did you do there?” she asked, Jazz smiled, “It's just a scratch, don't worry.” he reassured her. July leaned closer to see the livid. It was pretty red.  July moved the hair that covered the injury, “Oh, oh my.” she said and moved her hand from Jazz's face. “Are you sure you'll be okay?” she asked, Jazz nodded, the two proceeded. It was all hills again, and the sun was rising. The two while walking together talked with each other. Just to get to know who they were. “So, where are you from exactly?” Jazz asked, “From Beta, you?” July asked back, “From a village that got forgotten, grew up in Main Gate.” he replied, “Oh, I see...” she answered. The two stopped and saw another beautiful waterfall. Jazz had a vague memory about this one as well. He stopped to look at it, in fact. “Everything okay?” July questioned, Jazz looked down and let a small sigh, “Yes, all good.” he replied. July looked at the waterfall. “Let's keep going.” Jazz said and walked forward. July followed along. They wanderer for some time, and the biome around started to become Os's Desert. “We're back.” Jazz said, but July immediately retorted that with: “Don't get it twisted, this isn't Os's Desert, for how it looks similar.”. Jazz remained silent and kept walking. At some point they could see some rocks, and... more spirits? Jazz and July got noticed immediately, the spirits started to run at them. July grabbed Jazz's arm and started to dash away. The two were running, but July knew what she was doing. The spirits were still behind, and they were a lot. “What do we do?” Jazz asks, July remained quiet and kept running, Jazz followed her without stopping. She was really fast, so it was hard to keep the pace. “Hey! Slow down!” Jazz exclaimed, “I don't think I can.” July replied, then grabbed Jazz's arm, and threw him in the air. “Go!” she shouted, “WOAH-” Jazz screamed while being thrown in the air. He was up, going forward. July threw him pretty far. Jazz took a deep breath, and glanced down, did a cross with his arms and raised one of them and swung it down, creating a flying platform that flies. July reached Jazz, he took her hand and she jumped on the platform, it was accelerating. The phantoms were still behind, but they were signifcantly more far than before. ”Good idea.” July said, ”Besides being a dearie you're also smart...” she added jokingly. Jazz rolled his eyes, “Oh, stop that.” he said while raising the magic circle. The wind got stronger the more they went up, the spirits were under it. July's hair were flapping with the breeze, making it a spectacle to watch, the same effect with Jazz. When July looked down she didn't see anything. They manage to lose the spirits. ”Good jo-” July got interrupted by the platform disappearing. “Oh NO-” Jazz shouted and they started falling. Luckily July summoned a matress to soften the fall. It seems that she's also a mage. The matress vanished afterwards. The two got up. “Didn't think you'd know how to use spells.” Jazz told her. July put her hands behind her, and smiled. “I've got my ways.” she said, followed by a small giggle. Jazz turned around, and saw a door that had a bright light from the other side. “Would you look at that, you also found the exit.” July said, “Right, thank you very much.” thanked Jazz while smiling at her. July tilted her head, while still smiling, “It was nothing, dear.” she replied, always jokingly. Jazz laughed a little, then walked towards the exit, and then, everything fade white.
