The Enchanted Oasis

Tiffany's Point of View

We panicky ran to the only volcano in the oasis, hoping that Stacy would be in there. Lizzie brushed her pink locks with her hand so it won't get frizzy. I, whom I yearn to assassinate whoever this Pandora is, put my sword in my satchel. We heard a growl until I saw dozens of lizkenz chase us with those fury of claws, gnashing teeth, and flying threads of saliva.

"Ohmygosh, Tiff! We are being chased! I don't wanna die!" Lizzie said, while panicking. I grabbed her hand and I ran faster.

We were chased to the end of a rocky precipice and, screaming, fell of the edge. Gasp!!!

"Hang on tight!" I shouted to Lizzie. I used my satchel string to grab the tree branch so that we can avoid falling into the depths of the ravine.

I successfully grabbed the branch & I held on tight on Lizzie. We were about to reach the top when my sword fell. Darn it! That was the only weapon I have, in case I might destroy whoever the heck Pandora is. Urgh!

"Are you alright, Tiffany?" Lizzie said in a strong British accent. I looked at her, questioning with my do-you-think-I'm-alright eyes.

"Seems not." She said, while stretching her fingers and yawned. I realized that we are in front of Mt. Tayukuma, the infamous and active volcano in the oasis. This must be the volcano, as I can see footsteps. Lizzie was checking her nails until I pulled her in a whisper.

"I think this might be the place." I whispered. Her eyes twinkled, weirdly. She looked relieved.

"STACY! OMG STACY! WHE-" I cut her off because she kept on shouting. URGHHH! She's not thinking straight!

"Stop! You might alert Pandora!" I said, but then I heard something. Something unusual... I heard footsteps crushing the leaves. We hide immediately.

We saw a figure in a mask. Made of leaves, to be exact. The figure seems to be a lady. I was about to use my Ars Magica until I realized that there's still no power beyond the oasis, or anything else.

I saw the girl activate something until a passageway opened. She went in and the passageway closed.

"Did you saw that?!" I asked Lizzie, while I'm twirling my purple hair.

"I saw that. Suspicious." Lizzie said, while her hands in her chin like she's thinking or brainstorming the current event that just happened.

I told Lizzie that we need to activate the hidden door. We can't think of something except, we saw this weird hieroglyphs things in the wall. It's like a hidden message.

"How do we open this darn thing!" She's kicking the door, like she's expecting it'll break down.

"Lizzie! Look at this! What is this??" I asked her, and I showed her the hieroglyphs. Her little eyes started to enlarge. I'll describe the hieroglyphs. It has 5 pictures.

It has a ape that's standing on it. It also has a guy with hairy body, but it's not standing. Also, it has a perfectly-standing man, and a hairy man standing. And last, it has an ape that isn't standing.

It's so windy in the location my cape has been flowing in my back. I still, have no idea how to solve this.

"Ohmygosh! Tiff! Look! The images are pushable. This must be in order. Oh wait! This looks like an evolution of man? I guess?" Lizzie said, as she push everything in order.

The gateway opened.

"Yes! Good job Lizzie!" I complimented her. We went to the volcano. There are floating islands on the volcano. Should we jump on each platform? This is tricky. The inside of the volcano is so dark, good thing the w-!

*SLAM!*

As I was rudely interrupted, it's a good thing the way has stayed opened. And now it shut down. Well, that was unbelievable.

"Look! Tiff! This is like parkour!" Lizzie said, while smiling and pointing at the platform things. But say what? A parkour? What's a parkour??

"What's a parkour?" I asked, curiously.

"LOL! Watch me do some parkour!' Lizzie sai, while her hands are on her hips. She jumped on each platform, until she reached the last jump.

"I won't do it! It's hard! I'll wait h-" I immediately saw the lava floor increasing higher and higher. Oh! I must do this stupid parkour!

I jumped faster than Lizzie and when I reach the top, we saw a bridge! Yes! This journey will be easier as I expected.

I felt some shaking, until the bridge broke down! I spoke too soon! And I regret doing it!

How do we reach the other cliff without the stupid lame ol' bridge? Lizzie gasped, and she covered her mouth with shock.

"Lizzie! Do you have anything in you? You have an enormous backpack there. Probably you have something that can help us?" I asked her. It's true, she have a giant knapsack that she carries all day.

"I have some copper coins, a gardenia realmstone, a stuff plushie, and 3 sticks. The sticks might help, I guess." Lizzie gave me 3 large bamboo sticks. I have an idea. I removed my cape, rolled it, stick in, and used it to make giant slingshot that can probably shoot us in the other cliff.

"Use this! I'll stick this this in the ground, okay?" I said to Lizzie. We both used it and we both got to the opposite of the cliff.

"Woohoo! That was absolutely fun!" Lizzie said, while smiling. We were out of breath. Until we realized that the lava is rising!

We ran to the next way and we saw the transformation stone in a stand. We were weirded out because we were expecting Stacy to be here.

"Lizzie! Tiffany! Over here!" We quickly glanced our back and we saw Jessica and Joey, our friends, in a cage! We immediately ran to them until we heard a cackle.

"Sup, idiots! Miss me? Oh, I was about to feel bad for myself when I heard you two imbeciles will save me. Alas, I don't have a heart to do that. Have fun dying!" We saw Stacy standing next to the stone. Oh! I hate Stacy! Arghhhh! I quickly ran to punch her in the face when I heard deafening screams. Jessica, Joey, and Lizzie are now in the cage altogether and the cage was caught on fire. I should help them!

"Go ahead and punch me Tiffany! Or they'll all burn." Stacy said, with her sickening grin.

I quickly broke the lock open and they were all free, and we saw Stacy going out in the volcano with the transformation stone! I really am mad at what she did, and now she's trying to escape?! I would not tolerate this kind of attitude.

I threw rocks at her and she accidentally let go of the stone. Me, Jessica, Joey, & Lizzie ran to the exit. Stacy, on the other hand, tried to redeem the stone. When she got the stone, she laughed, menacingly, until me, Jessica, Joey, and Lizzie got out safely. We tried to call Stacy to get out. But then the volcano exploded, leaving Stacy! Oh!

She died from her own trap! Yes! Finally!

But then Lizzie cried.

"Stacy! My best friend!" Lizzie shouted and Jessica hugged and tried to calm her down. I felt bad for her. Joey, on the other hand, was holding something.

"Joey, what's that on your hand?" I asked. Joey revealed a...

The Transformation Stone!

"How did you get it? Yeah!" I asked, throwing my fists in the air! I was so happy at that moment!

"The stone flew on my face when the volcano exploded, girl." Joey explained, while smiling.

At last! The magic will be restored!
