A Hero's Journey - Mysterion's Story

Chapter 4

            They went in their secret hangout spot also known as "Headquarters," which was an old garden shed, despite its small size on the outside it was quite big on the inside. It was a bit cold, and it smelled minty.

"Hmm...Garmounth, sunset, left, and South, seriously? That's all they told you?" Clyde said disappointingly.

Kyle sighed then said,

"well, so much for voices guiding us."

"Wait..." Bradley started to say.

"My nana used to tell me a story called 'The War of Kizuato' and in the book it says, legend has it that if you go to the Azar Waterfall and look to the left during sunrise, it will show a blazed golden path leading to an alternate dimension named Amaranth," Bradley said.

"The blazed golden path must be The Garmounth thing then!" Clyde said excitedly.

"And you talked about going to somewhere called Amaranth right Kenny? So this must be it" Kyle exclaimed.

Kenny looked at his friends hopefully, how did I get such smart friends he thought almost saying it out loud.

"See I told you we could help" Craig said pushing Kenny in a 'I told you so' way.

"Yeah, yeah sure" Kenny said hiding his grin and pushing Craig back playfully.

        They all started talking about plans, and how to get there. As they were all chatting, Kenny thought to himself, maybe we can do this after all.

       Mysterion checked his watch, it was 11:28am in the morning. Him, Super Craig, and Mosquito had been walking nonstop to the Azar waterfall for the past 4 hours, except for Super Craig he was just floating in the air. They had reached a certain part in the woods that had not a lot of trees, but many bushes and plants. Mysterion's feet were aching so bad to the point where he had started limping a bit. His friends noticed this and worried a bit.

"Hey Mysterion, we can stop and take a break if you want," Super Craig suggested.

"No, it's alright, were probably almost there anyway," Mysterion replied.

Mysterion had to admit that he wanted to take a break, his feet really hurt, and his back ached from carrying the heavy bag, but we can't afford to waste any time he thought.

"If your feet hurt, I could try and heal them you know," Mosquito said.

"I don't think you can do that; you can only heal yourself, and my feet are perfectly fine," Mysterion explained.

"Whatever you say captain," Mosquito said while chuckling.

     Mysterion hated when his friends called him that, he didn't see himself as a captain, but more like a leader. Whenever Mosquito got the chance, he would call Mysterion that just to irritate him. One time, Kyle said that a captain and a leader were the same thing, but Mysterion thinks otherwise. Super Craig stopped floating and went back down. They had reached to a meadow filled with trees and small yellow flowers. Mysterion wondered why they had stopped, but then he heard a burbling flow, and realized that they were near the waterfall.

"The sounds coming from there" Mosquito said pointing to the left.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go" Mysterion said limp-walking past the two.

Super Craig and Mosquito followed their leader until he stopped, and Mosquito stopped and bumped into Mysterion.

"Hey why'd you stop walki- "Mosquito started to say, but then he looked in front of him and knew why he stopped. They had reached the Azar waterfall.
