MCSM: The Forest Temple

Part 11 (Jesse)

"We made it!" Petra exclaimed. It was the best thing they'd heard all day, "Really?" Carson ran to catch up and gaped at a doorway that led to a huge and spacious room. The siblings entered next and gaped. There was emeralds, lapis, gold, and all sorts of ores and artifacts on display. We finally did it! Jesse thought, Lukas I fulfilled your promise. Now all we need is Olivia and Axel.

"Guys!" A familiar girl's voice called out. They turned to see Olivia and Axel running towards them. Axel smiled, "We thought we heard you!" They hugged one another. Axel and Olivia began to sputter questions like, "Wasn't your ankle broken?", "Where's Lukas at?", or "Who is he?"

Jesse started to cry once again, "Can you guys tell them?" They nodded somberly and Jesse walked to the other side of the room. She found a sign that red, One artifact per person. If you get greedy, you will die. Jesse raised her eyebrows, That sign definitely goes strait to the point. She walked around examining the rewards. The one that caught her eye was a solid gold book with silver pages and a silver pen attached to the side of it. The cover was blank.

(Flashback) Jesse and Lukas were sitting in a room, waiting to be called into a town meeting. The room had tables and chairs. Lukas was flipping through a magazine while Jesse read a book she'd brought from her house. Lukas' eyes widened and he turned to Jesse with a childish smile, "Look at this!" He pointed at a book inside the magazine. "These are extremely rare! I've been wanting one of these ever since I was a kid."

Jesse tilted her head, "What is it exactly?" He happily took the opportunity to fill her in on his dream book, "It's a book made of solid silver and gold. It has a silver pen that you use to carve into the pages and use it as a journal. It's so hard to find."

Jesse smiled, "That sounds awesome! I'll have to find you ones of those one day."

He gaped, "Really?" She nodded, "You just have to promise you'll be my best friend for all eternity." Lukas laughed, "I'll find you something else in return. Something great. I can't give you something you already have."    

(Back to present) She looked at the book that had left Lukas in awe. She decided she'd take it as her prize. She opened it to the first page and decided it would be a book dedicated to Lukas. Reliving memories and things that they would want to have told him before the accident.

Dear Lukas, she wrote...
