Sun & Purity Vs. Darkness - A new Legend (Marissonshipping) [Wattys 2016]

Chapter 19: Shrine of the Seal Part 2 Earth

It was a square room, which consisted of three floors.

On the first floor was solid ground on the left side of the room, where the group had arrived seconds ago. In the back of it stood a yellow Platform Spider, which led obliquely downwards to a platform on the first basement.

This had a red Platform Spider at the front next to it, which moved from left to right and the other way around and led to a smaller platform. In the back of it stood another red spider. But this one climbed up and down and led to the second basement.

This one only contained a door in the bottom right-hand corner.

After they got an overview of the room, the group walked to the back of it. They got on the yellow Platform Spider and it began to move. A few seconds after that, Alan took Manon's right hand in his left one.

Once he did that, Manon blushed and looked wondering at him.

''Just in case you get distracted again.'' Alan whispered caring.

Hearing this, increased her blush.

After a few more moments the spider arrived the platform and the group jumped. This time no one stayed behind.

Then they headed towards the red Platform Spider. While they were walking Manon noticed, that Alan hasn't let go of her hand yet and didn't seem to realize it. Content with this warm feeling inside of her, which was caused by the contact of Alan's hand, she didn't mention it to him.

Once they arrived the spider, they stopped and Issun raised his tiny voice:

''This is another type of a Platform Spider. Unlike the yellow spider, it moves constantly and won't throw us off no matter how long we stand on its back.''

Manon and Alan nodded understanding and jumped together with Issun and Ammy when the red spider neared them. Then they waited until it arrived the platform on the other side and jumped again.

Once that was done, the group walked to the back, waited for the next spider to come and went on it. The spider climbed down and neared the second basement. When the Platform Spider arrived it, the group got off.

After that, they headed to the door in the bottom right-hand corner, which led to the second room.

''We're safe, so you can let go of Manon's hand.'' Issun commented once he saw their locked hands.

''What do you mean?'' Alan asked confused.

''Are you serious? Haven't you realized, that you are still holding Manon's hand?'' Issun replied asking.

Once he said this, Alan looked down at his hands.

He saw, that he was indeed still holding her hand, released her hand and looked embarrassed to the side.

Manon was disappointed by that and already missed the contact of his hand.

The group reached the door, opened it and entered the next room.

It was a square room, which was divided by a large abyss. The ground on the left and on the right side was sand, while a gray stone lantern with one eye stood next to the door, through which the group had arrived seconds ago. On the right side of the room was an orange glowing crack on the wall.

''What do we do now? I can't see a way to get to the other side.'' Manon said looking around.

''Shall we use Lizardon again?'' Alan asked suggesting.

''So that you can get closer to your girl again, while me and Ammy are having an uncomfortable flight?'' Issun asked annoyed.

''Do you have a better idea?'' Alan asked ignoring the teasing of Issun and crossing his arms in front of his chest.
