The Tiny Lwanda 3

Chapter 2: RED!

We were in a joyous mood and could not stop celebrating because of how difficult it had been to kill the green dragon.

When the celebrations ended we went into our tent to discuss our progress so far.

At the tent we noted that we had fought and overcome incredible odds which had been stacked up against us. We realised that at points we had needed divine intervention or we would have perished.

We also realised how difficult it had been to fight the green dragon.

The question we had was - had we done enough and should we go back? Should we still move forward - noting how much the challenges had grown harder and harder?

It was unanimously agreed that, no matter what, we still had to push on. Even if it meant death! We could not allow the evil, we had already seen, to flourish. We had to cut the tree and completely uproot it - not giving it a chance to regroup again and grow.

We suddenly had a maniacal laughter outside and when we stepped out of the tent we once again saw the king of the Te people. This time round, he was wearing a great crown and an armour made of gold with a cloak hanging behind him purple in colour.

The king of the Te suddenly shouted, "So, you managed to reach this far and even defeat the green dragon? Well that is not the end. You still have two more challenges then you will get to me last. I hope you are prepared for RED!"

Then a vortex appeared and the guy disappeared in the twinkling  of an eye.

"What did he mean by; be ready for RED?" I asked looking at Over-watch, then to uncle Sam and then Eon - they all shook their heads from side to side then uncle Sam spoke, "We do not know what it means but if Number One - the King - came to prepare us for RED, then he or she must be bad news."

We went to bed but sleep was not willing to come upon most of us, as for me I kept fidgeting next to this very beautiful woman - Eon.

No matter how much I tried to keep RED off my mind and no matter how much I tried to fall asleep, the more  I did not do as I intended and the more both processes refused adamantly. The more I fidgeted and even at some point woke Eon up.

Eon cuddled up next to me and asked, "Sweetie, what is the matter?" To which I said, "I am anxious about meeting RED and because of that, sleep has completely ran away from me."

"Don't worry my sweetheart I am here with you and I will do something for you I have never done before," Eon responded and in the process started singing to me in a soft melodious voice that I had never heard anywhere before. The song washed away my troubles and my anxieties started evaporating and I found myself falling asleep... Falling... Falling... Falling!

But I could not sleep so I woke up got out of the tent and decided to go for a walk. As I walked past the last of my soldiers I saw some lights and started walking towards them. It was a beach and on the beach was some sort of beach bar with all sorts of drinks, fruits and even all sorts of delicious looking meats.

"Is this place for real?" I asked myself as I kept walking towards it and cautiously looked from side to side expecting an attack. None came.

I walked, finally, confidently into the place and asked for a fruit drink and some meat and bread and as I sat there enjoying, I lifted my eyes and saw a gorgeous woman - more beautiful than even Over-watch! - sitting at the far end of the counter and she was wearing RED!!!
