Weird how the Faroll twins are such deep people. But yeah, it sure was encouraging. Lately, me and Jasper have stop fighting, we just weren't in the mood. Even Glen went quiet. It has been glum on the ship. I just wish that there was this joker on the ship to lighten things up. I blew a stubborn black fringe out of my face.
I quickly showered, blow dryed my hair and put it in a tight bun before slipping on a blue tee and khaki shorts and heading out. "Hey, why do you always wear blue?" A voice from behind asked. I jumped before turning around and looking at the person. Jasper, just great. I crossed my arms and stared at him coldly. "Why should I tell you?" Annoyance laced in my voice. "Just a question, if you don't feel like telling, just say so. Don't want you losing your sass just because of it." He replied before brushing past me. Well, that went well.
"We'll be reaching the walls soon." Leon stated during breakfast. "Thanks for ruining the day Faroll." Glen said gloomily. Leon rolled his eyes. Jasper was unusually quiet, after the encounter earlier, things seemed tense between us. "Hey Jasper, everything okay?" Andrew asked. "Nothing serious." He mumbled while picking at his food. "You seem out of it, care to share?" Lea asked.
"I don't feel like talking about it." He replied, looking grumpier than before. "Okay..." Lea responded. "We're here." Leon said as he checked the readings of the GSP. "So fast?" I asked. Geez, can't someone have her breakfast peacefully?
"This place is freaking creepy." Gwen stated. The walls of gold was majestic, with big heavy gates and fancy carvings on the walls, which were, as the name says, made of gold. "How is it creepy?" Glen asked, looking bored. "It's awfully quiet, and didn't Edmerald say something about an army of monsters here? If so, why haven't they come out yet?" Gwen said, as we trudged down the hallway.
"What do the carvings say?" I asked, looking at the intricate symbols. "They're in Elvin." Raquel said. The symbols that she pointed to (§ ∞ ∑ ∴ ∵ ∫ ※) "It means none shall survive." (‰ ∪ ∩ ∏ § ※) " the holy monuments." Raquel finished. "Wow, so reassuring." Glen said sarcastically. "Not appreciated Glen." Leon eyed. Glen huffed.
"What the hell is this?!" I exclaimed, there was a floating island with a structure that looked like a temple. "The monuments the carvings said." Lea picked up. There were floating stones creating a path to the temple like structure. "Well, we don't have a choice do we?" I said.
5 minutes after getting on the temple, monsters attacked from all directions. There was no heading back as the stone tiles dropped down into the golden liquid below and burned. So, if I fall, thats game over for me. "Jasper duck!" I heard Andrew shout. I turned my head around and saw Andrew slash a shadow wolf into half, the same whisp of black shadows appeared and it dissolved into the cool air.
"Is everyone okay?" Raquel asked. Everyone nodded. "Jasper, are you sure that you're fine? You weren't paying attention to your surroundings earlier." Andrew asked with a poker face." I'm fine, really." He replied, running a hand through his already messed up hair. "Okay? You've got to be kidding me." Lea scoffed. Jasper scowled at her and looked away, a flash of hurt appeared on his face for a split second before returning to his features.
"Jasper is definitely not okay." Lea said, turning her head around to check on Jasper. "Well there's nothing you can do about it Lea, you just have to sit back and relax petite soeur ." Leon said calmly. "Petite? How am I your little sister." Lea asked. "I'm older by a minute." He replied. Lea looked at him, her message was clear : you kidding me?
"Well, I suppose we can take a break." Andrew said, resting his head against the shimmering golden walls. "What where those monuments anyway?" Lea asked. "Those were the abandoned monuments that once stood in monument valley near Equst." Andrew responded warily.
"Equst?" Gwen spoke up. Geez, those twins hardly spoke. A smile tugged at Andrew's lips. "You know...the groove isn't the only place in the magical world." He started. "Equst his the land of fairies, we might need their help if we want to find Maiyoa." "Why would we need help from fairies if we want to find Maiyoa?" I asked. "Because, Maiyoa is an evil sorceress, ex residence of Equst." Andrew replied.
"Maiyoa's a fairy?" I asked raising an eyebrow. Andrew nodded. "But fairies here are not tiny, they're like humans, just with wings." Raquel said, passing a leaf to Andrew. Andrew took the leaf and put it in his mouth and chewed. I srunched up my nose. "What's that?" I asked in disgust. Raquel gave me a light smile. "Leaves of everlast." "Don't tell me we eat it." Leon said.
"It's not that bad guys, just take one, it helps with your wounds!" Raquel cried out in desperation. "No way am I gonna eat a leaf from some plant I don't know." Lea stated, pointing at the bag of leaves like it was a monster.
Leon took one and looked at it. "Do I have to?" He asked pouting slightly. "Yes, just eat it." Lea demanded. "Fine! Geez lady!" Leon swallowed. He put the leaf in his mouth and chewed. We all looked at him for answers. "It's... okay...I guess..." Leon replied. "Okay, it's safe then." Lea took a leaf and shoved it into her mouth.
"Maiyoa is going to rise on the day of Legacy March. Which is also the day of the feast of kingdoms. A party of the monsters." Andrew said. "Well, if that's the case, what are we waiting for?" Leon started excitedly, "We've got a party to wreak." He smirked.
