Elemental Disaster

Chapter 4- Cures

At Destiny's lab, Xreato and Destiny searched high and low and found no answer. Destiny even ran a test on zombie skin and still didn't find an answer.

"Okay, Destiny! THIS IS NOT WORKING! Where can we find an answer?" Xreato exclaimed, frustrated. "DESTINY GET YOUR NOSE OUT OF THAT BOOK!" she screamed. Destiny looked up.

"It says here, zombies dated back to the time when the dinosaurs died. Apparently, zombies did die with the dinosaurs, but some gene or DNA of the zombie species remained, and started to re-grow using carbon from the asteroid that crashed, but only 56 years after. One book by Dino on zombies still remains in the Library of Secrets! XREATO! This is our chance to find the library!"

Xreato brightened a little. "Really?"

Destiny nodded. "Hop on! GPS, here we go!"

Zooming in the craft, the GPS led them into space. They started going around a planet a few times. "Destiny, we're going in circles!" Xreato said. "Shh... look! It's Vinluli!" Destiny whispered. "WHY are we whispering?" Xreato whispered. "I don't know!" Destiny whispered back.

WHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHH!

"THIS GPS AIN'T WORKING!!!" shouted Destiny, shaking the GPS up and down. Xreato jumped down and went through a portal. "Stay here, and make sure you don't set anything on fire!"

Minutes later, Xreato jumped out of the portal with Capricorn. Destiny waved at him. "Hi, Capri!" Capricorn waved back. "Hello, Destiny. What brings you girls back here to Vinluli?"

"We want to find this ancient library which is located in here," explained Xreato. "We need to research about something, and it's very important." Capricorn frowned.

"Yes, an ancient library is here, but no one dares to go in there. It's the most secured and dangerous place to go to," warned Capricorn. Xreato and Destiny looked at Capricorn. "PLEASE???" the girls asked.

"All right, but don't come crawling to me for help when you go in there," said Capricorn. He led us to a pool of volcanic water, then a very steep mountain, a stream full of piranhas under a stick and finally, a deep and dark cave. "This is the furthest I've gone, no one dares to go inside there."

"Seriously? You're so chicken!" Xreato exclaimed. She slapped Capricorn's back hard. Destiny and Xreato waves goodbye at Capricorn and went in the cave. "Watch out for the booby traps!" warned Capricorn. The two friends cautiously made their way inside.

"Watch out!" shouted Xreato, as Destiny pushed a button on the floor. Destiny and Xreato ducked while a bunch of arrows shot right above their heads at full speed. Xreato sighed. "Be more careful next time, D."

Destiny chuckled and went on with their journey. A rumbling sound shook the floor. The two friends looked behind. A giant boulder was rolling behind them! Destiny and Xreato ran for their lives and soon reached a small passageway. The boulder blocked the entrance.

"Oh great, now we're stuck. What should we do, Destiny?" asked Xreato. Destiny was sniffing the room. "Something smells funny in here, like fresh air," said Destiny as she continued on sniffing.

"Xreato come here!" Destiny whispered loudly, pointing at a wall with a small fire in her hand. Xreato ran towards her. "Look, there's some kind of ancient writing on here, Xreato, can you light up the whole room?" Xreato nodded and wished for a brightened room. All of the walls were filled with ancient writing or drawings. Destiny and Xreato exchanged looks and examine the walls carefully.

"Hey, Xreato," called Destiny. Xreato looked at the wall Destiny was looking at. "This dot here is very dark, I wonder what will happen if I pressed it-" Destiny touched the dot. A trapdoor was right under where Destiny was standing and she fell. Xreato went after her and jumped into the hole. "Ow," complained Xreato. "Destiny, are you okay?"

"X-Xreato," stammered Destiny. "Look at all the things here!" Xreato looked at her. The background was full of ancient books. "Ahh!" screamed Destiny. Something was attacking her. Destiny took out her potions and threw a 'Sleep potion' at it. Xreato ran to Destiny's side.

"That's a Degark, it stays in Antarctica's biggest caves, and it's very dangerous if it bites you," explained Xreato. Destiny fainted. "Destiny? Destiny?!!"

Destiny's dream:

Hello, Destiny,
Ruler of one of the three divisions. I see you have made it to the Library of Secrets with your friend. I am a Dream Degark, one that can enter other people's dreams. I'm right now still trying to endure the pain, and I cannot communicate with any longer. Please find the book and finish the task.

Destiny woke up after a few hours. "Finally, you're awake!" shouted Xreato. One of Xreato's shuriken was in the body of the Degark. "Here, drink this, it'll make you feel better," said Xreato. She handed Destiny a bowl made of stone. Destiny drank all of it and stood up. "We need that book," screamed Destiny. She lay back down. Her mind was still quite fogged up.

"Oh yeah, while you were unconscious, I checked every single book, but they were all about ancient wars and legends, no mythical creatures were featured in all of the books," said Xreato. "Wait... let me sleep, Xreato! I think your deadly creature can help us!" Destiny exclaimed. She threw a sleep potion at herself. Xreato groaned.

Hello, welcome back to your dreams.

I'm dead ... but... I'm right now still trying to become undead but the shuriken hurts to much. By the way, my head still have its dream function. I'm right now still looking for the book you want. I haven't found it, and I got here 340 years ago.

Someone might have stolen that book. 340 years of faithful looking, and I haven't found it. Try. Please. That book doesn't just hold secrets about the zombies. I cannot reveal much, as I have agreed to let nature take its course - but beware the Jelous. You must find the bright, sunny side and most importantly- peace. The Jelous is a power you must be willing to fight.

Find this book, whether it's here or not, I do not know. Find it.

Find it soon.

Hurry, Destiny! Your time is running out.

"AHHHHHH!!!" Destiny screamed. Xreato looked at her. Destiny looked back. " Are you sure you looked properly?" Xreato nodded. "TWICE!" Destiny's face hardened. "Well, I'm not giving up. Twice isn't enough, and it's somewhere in here!"

Destiny shoved Xreato aside and checked the whole library again. Xreato sat near the bookshelf and sharpened her shuriken. Destiny looked at a book called "The Book Of Knowledge." She opened the book and flipped through the pages until she saw something interesting. "Find anything yet?" asked Xreato. She walked towards Destiny.

"The great Starshine is one of the gods chosen from the Elite Council of Gods. It is her duty to fulfill human's dreams by giving them powers. This, she must try alone. She formed an energy ball, only fit for three humans one at a time. Many has been chosen since the year 45 BC. Humans who had been chosen used these powers for unreasonable reasons. Starshine felt guilty for choosing random humans. She has decided to give up for a thousands of years.
Then it came to one faithful day, three children were picked, and Starshine felt she could entrust her energy ball to them. Their names were Destiny, Luna and Xreato. The Great Starshine shall return after ten years and see the changes of the world, and deciding what to do with the energy ball," read Destiny.

Xreato gasped. "Did this book update itself or what?" She was looking at a picture of Destiny, Luna and Xreato. Destiny pointed at something. It was a small print. "Hey, Xreato, can you read this for me?" asked Destiny. Xreato looked at the small print.

"Beware of any mistakes that lies in the book," said Xreato. "I think it's talking about this book." She turned the next page and buttons popped out. Destiny pressed one of them and disappeared. Xreato followed her.

They both landed in a pile of mud. "Where... are we?"
