A Hero's Journey - Mysterion's Story

Chapter 6

        Mysterion woke up breathing rapidly, he looked around him. He was resting in his sleeping bag, so he got up and then realized that he was on top of one of the Azar Mountains. How did I get here... and how long was I sleeping? Mysterion thought. Super Craig cut his thoughts.

"Oh your finally awake" he said happily.

Mysterion looked at his watch. It was 7:23pm.

"I WAS SLEEPING FOR 8 HOURS?!" Mysterion shouted.

"Yeah, you passed out at the meadow, so I had to fly while carrying you," Super Craig said grabbing a sandwich out of his backpack.

"We figured you were tired, so we just let you rest" he said giving the sandwich to Mysterion.

Mysterion took the sandwich and took a bite. His legs and back didn't hurt anymore, and his head felt so peaceful, it was probably all thanks to the amount of sleep he got. He noticed that behind Super Craig, near a distance was Mosquito sitting close to the edge of the mountain.

"What's Mosquito doing" Mysterion said with a full mouth.

"He's trying to look for the blazed path, it's almost sunset anyway so it should be here soon." Craig responded.

They both walked over to Mosquito and sat down next to him.

"Oh your awake? How do you feel?" he asked with a smile.

"I actually feel great, I'm not limping anymore" Mysterion replied.

Super Craig and Mosquito both looked at each other, then they both started snickering. Mysterion was confused.

"Is there something I should know?" Mysterion asked.

Both they're heads shot at him and they both started speaking loudly at the same time in an excited tone. All Mysterion heard was "AND THEN HE- IT WAS SO COOL- HEALED- and DIDN'T KNOW."

"Slow down, what?" Mysterion asked dazingly.

"After we got to the top, we put you in the sleeping bag but then we noticed that your legs were red, so we decided to see if I could heal you, and it worked!" Mosquito said sounding like a little kid talking to his mother about his first day of school.

"Oh really? That's good, we could use that just in case something comes up on our journey" Mysterion said sounding unimpressed.

Mosquito and Super Craig both looked at him weirdly.

"Why do you sound like healing people isn't a big deal? You don't even sound impressed!" Mosquito playfully whined.

"I'm immortal remember? I don't really think anything could top that." Mysterion spat.

"I mean fair point...but I still think it's cool!" Mosquito said childishly crossing his arms.

"You guys...look" Super Craig said pointing to the blazing path.

Mysterion and Mosquito's jaws dropped. Nothing else could ever perfect this sight, it was so beautiful, especially since it was almost dark. The blazing path was like a bright golden yellow blazing a path through the forest. Now they knew where they needed to go.
