The Crystal Blade

The Journey

the group left tribe 15 headed to Yggdrasil, more commonly known as the world tree, It was very long about 1-2 hours, soon we reached a cave

"is this yggdrasil?" Max asked, he didnt actually expected a cave

"no it's the labyrinth, it's a very dangerous path, but it can act as a short cut to Yggdrasil" Jocelyn said

"but according to greek mythology the labyrinth was a endless maze, umm don't tell me this is a endless maze too" Rina asked worriedly

"cool I like mazes especially endless ones" Ace said

"umm, Ace what we mean is that we will be stuck there forever if it was endless" Max explained

"oh"

"don't worry, actually it is but I know how to navigate trough that" Jocelyn said

then they went in, inside was dark but suddenly a ray of light came,

"what's that" Max asked he was worried it might be someone from the school that wanted to kill him or worse it might be a ghost!!!

"it's a flashlight" Jocelyn said showing it, oh Max slapped his head, obviously a flashlight, what more could it be, then he heard Ace and Rina giggling at the back

"fine I admit it that I thought it could be something else, but hey that was an accident" Max said loud enough for them to hear

 "sorry" they said but still giggled

Soon a enormous creature came out, it resembled a armadillo but the skin was made of rocks, it roared roughly and charged towards the group.

"i'll handle this, it's too simple for me now" she cupped her arms and some green balls formed inside she threw it and then trees sprouted and trapped the armadillo there but it kept on moving and the trees were being torn apart,

then she acted like she was pulling a bow, and a emerald bow and arrow grew, she sent it flying a lot of tmes targeting the head, she didn't have to worry about her arrows becausethe arrows just grew from the bow.

after about ten hits the creature stopped moving.

"that should take care of it for a while" she said

"we have to hurry thou the parents will be here soon"

"what, wait that thing was just a child?" Max asked, it was already too big to be a child but who knows right.

"that thing was a hyperabian specie, these race are a group of very big creatures, there are more like it out there, I'll tell you later about it, for now lets keep on moving"

...........................................................................................................................

Soon as they ran Jocelyn stopped

"mom, whats wrong?" Max asked

"maybe she knew I needed a break from running" Ace said panthing

"I'm sure I do" Rina said also panthing

"Its not that" she said looking around "I think were in the wrong way"

"Whaaaat" the three of them said, they were all tired and couldnt imagine going back

"But were so tired" Ace complained

"yeah" Max and Rina agreed

suddenly a loud explosion happened somewhere where they came from

"the parents are here, we can't turn back there now"

good we won't have to go back there the three of them thought

"we need to use the long way now" Jocelyn said

"ummm how long is the long way"Max asked

"about 50 kilameters perhaps, in this world we probably walked 5 kilameters but we'll start again"

everyone was silent, they were now regreting their descicions not to come back, but now they had to walk a distance about 10 times farther than the distance they ran.

"well we should go now, we shouldn't waste time" Jocelyn said as she ran trough a opposite tunnel not checking if they are following.

soon after an hour  they reached an large chamber with no doors

"uh oh" Jocelyn said

"what, another dead end" Rina asked

"wait guys look at the center" Ace pointed out

They all looked at the center, there, there was a stone obelisk with a lime egg (lime as in limestone) , then the egg started to crack,

"everyone hold your breaths" Jocelyn screamed as she pointed her bow at the cracking egg she shot it but it was deflected by a invisible barrier, soon the air around started to feel thin, then the egg hatched.

Inside of the egg was a white kitten, but with alot of holes around its body.

"a limebeast how did that get here" Jocelyn said

The kitten howled and a blast of air was released, soon a mini whirlwind started to form around it

"Ace break the ceiling with your powers, Rina try to shield them from the wind and Max help me trap  this beast" Jocelyn ordered

Ace understood, he done this already once in the school, he focused their energy to the ceiling, the rocks started to separate then started to crumble.

Rina focused her energy too and soon she was able to control the air sround her, shielding her from the kittens blasts of wind, then she expanded her shield to the four of them but as it expanded it became more thinner.

Max and Jocelyn have made a tree grow around the kitten but whenever it touched the whirlwind it just gets shredded into pieces. Then after some time they both ran out of energy and collapsed.

Suddenly Max's armor glowed green and his armor seemed to move like before, and new energy came to him again, and now something was inside him telling him on what to do.

"Stop!" Max screamed as he held out his arms

"crest of the ancients come to me" Max said now in a diffrent voice, the started to chant and soon a small green orb appeared.

"Awaken from your sleep El'Draktus" as he said the name the orb changed shape into a green dragon
