Journey to the Mysterious Island

Chapter 5

My senses were on high for any unusual because knowing Alexander anywhere he goes ulna always follows. I made sure to keep Alexander in my view, who knows when he would try something that will get him, Juno. Sighing at the word, it brought me back to what happened an hour or two ago.

If I lose another person I do not know what I'd do, probably go more vulva then Alexander is and I do not believe that is a good thing. Shaking out of my thoughts I felt someone touch my shoulder, looking behind me I found it was Sean staring worriedly at me.

"Hey, are you okay Rai?" He asked, letting go of my shoulder as he walked beside me.

"Yes," I answered, not letting him know my true feelings about the matter.

"Really because back at Nemo's resting tomb it didn't look like it." He pestered making me slightly angry.

Pip who was flying ahead of us as if she sensed this came flying in Sean's face, making me hurry up and go farther in front hoping he'll take the hint. We walked for many hours and never rested, passing waterfalls and big trees I stopped and looked around for any signs of danger as the rest went ahead. Seeing something on a tree nearby I walk towards it seeing pincher marks, the ants must be close by and if so we’re not in that much danger.

Hearing a roar from them I quickly turned around and jogged towards the group, hopefully, they didn't hear the roar of the ants because it’ll freak them out and I don't have time for that. Seeing a few of them that saw me I nodded in their direction as a sign of respect before quickly going after the rest.

We went over the treacherous bridges of the mountains, then we reached the jungle once more. I was hopping from rock to rock checking over my shoulder every once in a while to make sure they were following behind me, and sure enough, they were.

"Are we there yet?" I hear Gabato question either Alexander or me.

"We'll get there when we get there Gabby," Alexander answers before I could try and think fo words to say that we're not their yet in their language.

It was silent for a few more moments as we continued to make our way across the small stream. Suddenly the ground began to shake, I grabbed the person's arm behind me to help keep myself and them balanced. The person behind questioned me immediately.

"What was that?"

I look towards the mighty Ta'huna, I remember when my teachers taught us that when Ta'huna was very displeased with something the ground will forever shake and lava will pour from his mouth. But when Ta'huna was very generous he would make the ground shake every once in a while and let gold ashes fall upon us gracing us with his all mighty power and love. Hopefully, Ta'huna is not angry for us trespassing his territory to get to Nemo's submarine.

"The tectonic plates are starting to pull apart from underneath the island." Sean's voice stated, causing me to look at him in confusion.

Sean glanced from me then to Hank, Hank looked from Ta'huna then back to us. He nudged Sean onto the rock I was on making us chest to chest, Sean stumbled slightly and I placed my hands on his chest to help balance him when I felt him put his hands on my waist as Hank says.

"It's time to go."

I pushed away from Sean and went onto the next rock. When I didn't hear the soft thump of someone landing behind me, I turned around and found Sean staring at me with that strange smile I'm starting to like. I gave Sean a smile in return before going to the next rock and I could hear him jump to follow after me.
All of us had reached the to another side of the stream safely, which was al I could hope for when Kilani looked up to the sky and gasped as she asked quietly.

"What is that?"
I glanced up as well and found the gold shimmers of Ta'huna floating through the sky. He must have blessed us for this journey! I thought happily.

"Ta'huna has blessed us." I got out in their language with a huge smile on my face.

They were talking about something called gold but, I didn't quite grasp what they were saying. I just couldn't believe Ta'huna has blessed us with his grace, I reached my hand out and one of his shimmering gold ash in my palm. I let out a sigh and clutched it in my hand to make a fist and brought it to my chest, I hummed something and wished for everyone who I know is Juno has passed through to the spirit realm.

I opened my palm and blew the ash away, I watched it float away and let my grief go with it. That's when I noticed everyone started to follow Alexander, so I quickly followed after them.
