Issue 6: My Agony

Chapter 12: The Prismatic Flower Part 2

We're getting ready but Winston looks at Ashley's shirt. It has Billie Eilish with a tarantula coming out of her mouth.

Winston tells her, "You know there'll be real tarantulas there and if a real one hides over it you just won't know. Besides aren't black shirts really uncomfortable with all this sunlight?"

Ashley sighs and runs back upstairs and comes back with a crewneck of the band Waterparks with the purple circle that goes from lighter at the bottom to darker at the top. She tells Winston, "But our armor keeps us comfy."

We're driving back to the sands, wow this thing's so fast! The trees and hills all look like blurs from in here.

Winston looks back. "Ready? Here we go!" It feels a bit bumpy and sinky but, wow we got over that fast?

After riding half an hour over 60 miles of sinking sand we see so much rain forest! Everything surrounded by super tall cliffs so that's why we couldn't boat our way in.

Judith stares at all the trees, "Wait, how does anyone even get across to know about the prismatic flower?"

Maddie tells her, "That's easy. Sometimes the sands go so slow you can go over but you still need to find a way across."

I crane my neck looking up into the trees, "Wow the trees are really tall! There are so many vines everywhere too."

Tristana tells us, "We'll reach a maze. It wont look like it's indoors, like at all. We'll need to split up if we're going to get further inside. Then the prismatic flower should be inside the grove."

Lulu and Pix squint cutely. "This is gonna be so much fun!"

Pix says, "Yeah without that spell we won't stand a chance against Kha'zix even with the Infinity Blade. Wait, what if I'm the chosen one? It's too long for even her," he points at Ashley, "Nevermind Tristana or me."

Tristana tells him, "I'm sure it'll change its size based on who it chooses."

Winston hacks his way through the thick grasses and brush. He tells us, "I still can't forgive myself for being so stupid! If Tracer floats between dimensions forever it's all my fault! Then Emily will hate me and I can't even blame her too."

Judith tells him, "With us by your side you have nothing to worry about! I promise you we're gonna save her!"

I slap the air behind my head since I hear mosquitos.

We keep running and a tall lean thing with long harry arms smirks. "You're venerable out here!"

He makes two fists and tries hitting Ashley but I hit his tummy with my guitar and she rolls and throws dirt in his face. I look in front of us where Judith lays tripwire we all jump over but he didn't see her. I look back after hearing a loud thud. "I'll get you!"

K.

Lulu's nose crinkles and she tells us, "This is it guys!" Her eyes brighten and mouth hangs open, the leaves and plants look so sparkly.

Ashley squats stroking her chin looking at a crystaly flower, "Is this it?" Her eyes widen as she hops up clapping. "This is it hey guys I found the flower!"

Tristana slowly shakes her head. "Nope, not it."

"Aww." Ashley's shoulders slump and she kicks dirt.

Tristana walks back and forth. "Okay, here's the plan. We're going to need to split up into groups because none of us can get any further unless we're all on the platform at the same time. To the left is a small windy chamber where you'll need to speed against the wind so that's why I want Lulu and Angel teaming up. Winston and Maddie will join you too. The other room needs me to shoot things a certain way and has hot coals, so me Jacob and the rest go down that way. Is everyone okay with that?"
