The Yellow Crystal

Chapter 37

I suddenly woke up as I felt as if I had been dumped in a large lava pool. The heat was burning my clothes apart and tearing at my flesh. I opened my eyes to see that there was no Jaime, no Dao, no giant. But all these still scared me as there was no crystal around my neck. "No, no, no" I thought to myself. What had I done. Oh no. "Oi, you are awake now right?" asked the crystal, and I looked around, as if I was hearing rubbish. "What, where? Doesn't matter. We should have left, and I apologize for this." I said, half because I felt apologetic and half since I didn't know what else to say since all of this is happening because I came to Ka'ar. "It's not you. But it will be you who can help. They are planning to raise the sentinel at midnight. Get help and come to the center room. I will see you there." said my crystal, not long before I went back to the absolutely silent environment I was stuck in.

I tried to quickly think of a plan. What could we do to increase our chances of success? "Get Jaime to our side." I thought. Great, how do we do that? "Um, I am stumped." I thought. I was starting to feel like banging my head on the wall, but when I attempted it, my hand just when through the wall. I continued walking through the wall until my whole self was out. I started running, but when I ran, I lift up and started gliding in the narrow and dim - lit yellow passageways. The arched dome was not happy seeing things actually reach it's height(its over 30 feet tall) that it creaked in anger. I started thinking about what's happening, but then I have learnt not to question good things in the Ka'ar region.

"What can we do to get Jaime on our side?" I asked myself mid-glide. Then it hit me. The dome fell in height and I was about to hit it, but it was like my wings were flying by themselves. I narrowly dodged the fall in height, and got myself an idea.
