Journey Through the Jungle

First Relic

Before the girls entered the forest, they already know that the evil beings are going to cause problems so they wouldn't get the relics, but, Mira just ignored that warning, and somehow got into a fight with Edith, while Blaire was pissed at Mira for ignoring her, because, as she knows, Mira's anger was caused by the evil beings.

So, because of their fight, Mira and Edith went separate ways, and Alexa, Blaire and Yosephine went down the middle path.

Suddenly, Yosephine fell down a hole, taking Alexa and Blaire with her, because they're connected by a rope tied to their waists.

Down in the hole, there're 3 doors, and, after untangling themselves, they let Yosephine chose which door to go through, and she chose the first door, the one on the left.

The doors were locked by some locking mechanism that requires the girls to translate a series of strange pictures into words. Fortunately Blaire brought the Dictionary of Forgotten Languages and Magical Powers. And they managed to open the door.

Yosephine goes first, then Blaire, then Alexa. After walking a few minutes, Yosephine almost fell down another hole, quite big in size, before fortunately pulled by Blaire and Alexa.

When they tried to went back the to try the other doors, they found it closed, blown by the wind, locked, and can only be opened from the outside. So they had to cross the hole or got stuck for eternity inside.

No one knows when she packed those, but Blaire had slabs of wood in her bag, even some in Yosephine and Alexa's bags, and she used it to make a bridge across.

Of course, because it was her idea, she had to cross first. After she arrived safely, it was Alexa's turn to cross, when she almost reached the end, the woods broke, resulting in her almost falling, and then barely getting to the other side.

As for Yosephine, she had to cross a little at a time, while Blaire and Alexa had to pull on the rope, preventing another fall.

After almost half an hour, Yosephine reached the other side, and they started walking again.

Not long after they found themselves in a circular chamber with 5 doors, each with a picture of an animal. The first was a vulture, the second was a lion, the third a panda, the fourth a wolf, and the last one a shark. Stupidly, they didn't see the riddle that would've got them to the right door, and they entered the second door, which resulted in them, being chased by lions, then they ran out, and stupidly ran to the fourth door, then being chased by lions and wolves.

After that, fortunately they ran to the third door, meeting and playing with a cute panda. Before entering yet another room, this one with a giant sleeping spider on the left side, and a giant spiderweb, with a cocoon of webs surrounding what they thought was Mira. Behind the webs were 2 doors.

Then the 3 girls, after telling Mira to keep silent, began to work on the doors, finally choosing the second door. When it has fully opened, Yosephine thought of a plan to save Mira, which was cutting the webs really quickly with their long hunting knives, then dragging Mira to the door before the spider could catch them.

Because of the lack of better plans, they carefully, but really quickly, cut down the webs, then dragged Mira to the door, but was chased by the spider who awoke when they began cutting.

They barely reached the door, but one of the spider's spindly legs was caught between the door and the wall, after struggling, they managed to close the door, cutting the spider's leg too, and green slimy thing spewed out, covering Mira.

Yosephine and Alexa cut the rest of the webs, and then walked to a room with 10 doors. And they let Mira choose which door.

She chose the fourth door, and they entered. As soon as they entered, the door closed itself, locking them inside.

They found no exits, the walls were blank, so they began to search for hidden button or something like that, while Mira was resting, leaning against the wall.

Suddenly, after Alexa pushed something, the walls behind Mira moved, making her fall, and they found themselves inside a big and empty room, with only 1 occupant, a possessed Edith, her eyes were fully black, her hair was billowing wildly, and her smile was wicked.

They were afraid to fight their friend, but it must be done, so they pass weapons, Alexa used her hunting knife and a cooking knife, Blaire used a shovel, and gave her knife to Mira, who lost her backpack when she encountered the spider, Yosephine used a thick and long wood, similar to a baseball bat, and gave her knife to Mira, so Mira used 2 knives.

They attacked Edith from four sides, but the spirit that possessed her was strong, and has the power to grow thorny vines.

At the end Blaire and Yosephine managed to whack Edith's head at the same time, knocking her out. And a black smoke came out and vaporized into air.

A chest appeared behind Edith, with a padlock with 4 numbers on it. To opened it, they must enter the right combination, so they tried the number of the doors they went through, so 1.3.2.4, and the chest opened, revealing so many treasures, diamonds, golds, jewelries, so much more, but, most importantly, the first piece of the relic they need.

After a slight tremor, a stair appeared behind the chest, going upwards. After collecting as many treasures as they can, they went up, leaving Edith downstairs because they weren't able to carry her.

On top, they were ambushed by 2 bandits, whom they were able to defeat with the same methods as when they were fighting a possessed Edith, whacking. They tied the bandits, and waited until the bandits woke up.

They agreed to not harm the bandits anymore, and to give them a diamond each, if the bandits brought Edith up.

After Edith was safely on top, Mira took 2 diamonds, and threw those back downstairs, and the bandits, whom they learned goes by the name Stan and Jo, went down.

When the bandits were down, somehow the stairway closed, trapping the bandits inside.

Then they camped there for the night, preparing to search the second piece of the relic.
