The Adventure of Shurui and Yuki

Chapter Eleven

Without reading onward, team Cloudust rested in Paradaisu Village. Once rested

and nourished, the second mission of their grand adventure was about to begin.

The morning sunlight brightened the book Ziora held in her hand, wide open.

Within its pages, they all stared at the contrast of the lady bug. All black with red

spots. The book gave such a colour filled illustration of what she looked like. Now

Ziora read about the features and characteristics of their soon to be, first insect.

"The Inverted Lady Bug, with its contradictory appearance of all over black and

red spots, she is the rarest of her kind and the only. Her survival has been 103

years and counting. Though she is a lady bug, her presence is not with her kind.

She prefers to settle at Crystal Falls. A waterfall to the west of the forest. It was

given its name for its translucent water as it falls down. After eating her breakfast

and lunch, she accumulates her breakfast and lunch in the night for tomorrow. No

dinner is eaten for she can reuse the liquids of her earlier meals" Ziora turned the

page to read the rest.

"The inverted ladybug collects the droplets from the waterfall as the water

splashes.

She only drinks water to survive, for the consumption of solids can poison her

body. The water from the Crystal Falls is what she prefers, though it is safe to

drink from any clean water source. Her tiny legs are made to catch water droplets

as they splash into the atmosphere. She then eats or in human cases, drinks it. In

the night the drops are taken, one by one into her home behind the waterfall, amedium-sized hole. She has the ability to cancel the sense of taste from any

human being. If the tongue or mouth area of a human is caught by her nicotine

yellow, liquid secretion, the sense of taste is completely gone. For attacking with

this ability, her butt is pointed to her enemy, (whether facing them or flying

away), and the nicotine yellow liquid secretion is sprayed. She sometimes would

move in a spiral movement to confuse her opponent, whether human or animal.

Lastly, the ladybug can sense the approach of any living organism seven feet

away. She is also attracted to bright lights. Once sensed, her wings fly her away

from the danger with lightning speeds. All of these characteristics and features

are what makes the inverted ladybug so rare and unique amongst her kind" Ziora

closed the book when the information of the insect was done. All that was left

were amazingly and lively done drawings of her squirting her liquid and from

different angles.

"Well guys! You heard the book. To the Crystal Falls we go!" Ziora's statement

energized everyone. As the book said, The Inverted Ladybug was to the west of
