How The Moon Was Created

Chapter 18: Sneaking In

"Well... If I can't figure out how to not to blow us up... We will have to find a way to sneak inside!" Luna said with mock enthusiasm. "Do you have a plan?" "What if we distracted the jaguars?" Terrance asked. "How would we do that!? And what about the moat!" Terrance clamped his hand over Luna's mouth again. "Shut up! The jaguars might hear us!" He hissed. "Sorry!"

Luna said quietly but then, she saw something in the corner of her eye and she had an idea. "Hey, don't Glow Fruit explode a couple seconds after caught on fire?" "Yeah, why?" Luna then motioned towards the lava moat and then to the Glow Fruit. "We can use the Glow Fruit to explode on them temporarily blinding them and then we can use these vines to tie the jaguars together!" Luna explained.

Terrance nodded and started collecting the Glow Fruit while Luna collected vines. After they collected enough of each they tied the Glow Fruit too sticks so that they could get the Glow Fruit into the lava without burning themselves. The two then snuck over to the lava moat and stuck the Glow Fruit into the lava for a split second before throwing them in front of the jaguars.

After they saw the Glow Fruit explode, they sprinted over to the jaguars with the vines and started tying the jaguars together. Once they were done Terrance asked Luna how they were going to get into the palace.

"Well... I didn't actually think that far ahead..." Luna confessed. Terrance thought for a bit before saying "Most palaces have secret entrances, this one probably does too. And the jaguars probably know where it is." "But how are we going to get them to show us?" Luna asked. Terrance just stared at her. Luna's eyes widened and she yelled "I told you I don't know how to completely control my powers yet!" "Then just pretend." Terrance deadpanned. Luna opened her mouth to respond before closing it again.

She walked over to a jaguar and said "Is there a way to get in other then the drawbridge?" The jaguar just gave her a smug look and turned his head away. Luna put her hand against the jaguar's throat. "I'm going to ask again. Is there a way to get into the palace other then the drawbridge If so, where is it?" Luna questioned darkly. The jaguar growled and stood up begrudgingly and lead them along the moat until they came across a lever. "Thank you for your cooperation but if you are lying, I will not hesitate to find you and kill you." Luna said.

As the jaguar shuffled back to its comrades they heard hisses of annoyance welcoming it.
