Harien Unleashed - A Story Beyond Us

Chapter 4 Part 3 - Lost City of Junjiden

  They continued to walk on foot as most of them complained. They looked behind and infront of them, and saw the differences from where they started and where they went.

  "Mira, could we just take a break?" asked Ethan.

  "We've been walking for days," said Mickey.

  "Can't we just stop. We're going to die before we even get there," said Aragami.

  "Is there another town?" asked Anastasia.

  "Why didn't we take the carriage?" asked Loelie.

  "Look, there's more nuts," said Gerri.

  Mira looked back at them, and then stopped.

  "Are we finally stopping?" asked Mickey.

  Mira lifted them up and continued to walk.

  "That's one way," said Loelie.

  They were all in the air as Mira continued to walk.

  "Why didn't we take the carriage?" asked Aragami.

  "They don't know where it is," said Mira.

  "Why won't you just fly us there?" asked Mickey.

  "I can't use too much magic, or I will be tired out," said Mira.

  "You're going to be tired out anyways," said Anastasia.

  "Just stop and rest, Mira," said Loelie.

  "I-We can't stop. Lives our on the line," said Mira.

  "Who's lives?" asked Mickey.

  "Just forget it," said Mira. "I'm sure were--"

  Then, Mira fell through the floor with the rest who fell after. They splashed into water. The water wasn't too deep. Just knee high water.

  "What is this place?" asked Anastasia.

  "So bright.. It hurts my eyes," said Mickey.

  "This is the Lost City of Junjiden... Right?" asked Ethan.

  "Yes, this is the place," said Mira.

  Mira, Aragmi, Loelie and Gerri walked to where they fell. They nodded at each other as Aragmi, Loelie and Gerri jumped up to the hole, and left.

  Be safe, and hopefully nothing happens to you all, thought Mira.

  Mira walked back to the house, and to her room. Before she went into her room, she walked by Ethan's room.

  "What do the crystals mean?" asked Mira.

  "I'm not sure what they mean yet," said Ethan. "We would have to collect all of them."

  "How many are there?" asked Mira.

  "A house and monster per place."

  "So, there are two crystal per place that we go to?"

  "Yeah, as it says here. We may never know what they all mean though... Even after what happened to you."

  "We shouldn't worry about me, Ethan. We should worry about the Darjiden Virus. It will spread all over the world."

  "You're not going to get all of the Harien Lifter potions to fill the world."

  "I've thought that far, Ethan. I know how to do it."

  "You're not going to make it in time. It's going to get to us in no time."

  "Ethan! Listen, I know what to do," said Mira. "Just a little more time... Well save everyone."
