As we walked on following Diana, she suddenly came to a stop.
We noticed that we had gone far and deep into the forest.
"Why are we stopping here?" Pablo asked.
"Well, the map comes to a stop here first." Diana answered.
"What do you mean?" Freddy asked.
"There are five marked points in the map. The first four are named as tasks while the last one is named, home to the mad." Diana explained.
"Here, check if the book says something about the marked spots." Diana said, handing Pablo the book.
Pablo collected it and took a look.
"Yes it does." Pablo answered.
"Well?" I asked.
"There are four tasks in your different phases of the forest which we need to fulfill on our way to the home of the mad." Pablo said.
"Four tasks? Four different phases of the forest? Home of the... the mad?! You guys have got to be kidding me!" Linda
45I wish I never went through my father's closet. I wish I had never found that damned book.Pablo POVLooks like there's no cave here. I knew this would be pointless, I just knew it.Now I just have to find the others. They must have already wondered far away while searching for the cave.We should have chosen where to meet before parting.I turned back and started trying to find my way back to them.This place is just horrible.While I was returning I spotted a river.But it wasn't there before. That's weird.Before I knew it, a mermaid leap up in the water and splashed back in.That definitely got my attention.The mermaid swam to the shore and just sat there.The whole thing was new to me so I wanted to keep a picture.I had always wanted to meet a mermaid since I was a child, even if I knew perfectly wel
Diana followed I and Linda back to the spot where we had sat.After searching and walking for what seemed like eternity, that was the only spot that I and Linda found that was dry enough to sit on.Linda didn't look so happy that Diana was here but me, well, I was overjoyed.Now that Diana is here with me I can be sure that she is safe at all times."What about the others?" Diana asked me."We haven't found them yet." Linda answered."As you can see, it was just I and Lucif alone before you showed up." Linda added.Diana didn't look offended by Linda's words but smiled instead."Thanks for the info." She said to Linda and cuddled with me.Linda was fuming and looked like she was going to explode. I actually enjoyed every moment of this."Do you think we'll ever be able to get out of this alive?" Diana asked me."Of course we wil
Pablo POVI was still walking through this horrible place when I suddenly stumbled upon something and got caught in a net that hung on a tree.What the hell is this supposed to mean?I struggled and tried to get myself loose but it was all in vein.What or who would set a trap in the middle of nowhere?I sat there hopeless and ready to die. From inside the net I saw a big fat beast with knives in its hands walk to the direction of where I was hung.The beast did something that assured me of my death. It cut the upper part of the net and flung me across its shoulders.That's it I'm dead.After a very long walk the beast stopped and tied the net I was in on a different but shorter tree.It gathered firewood and used two rocks to light it by hitting the rock against each other.When the firewood caught fire it carri
"I think we should find a place to sit and think about this entire thing before taking the next task." I said."Lucif is right. We need to think about this and make plans." Pablo agreed."Well, just make sure wherever you guys pick is not wet." Diana said.We started walking around and looking for a place suitable for us to at least seat down."My legs are hurting so bad." Linda said."Chill, we'll find a spot soon." Freddy said.We walked and walked for hours but couldn't find anywhere to stay."This can't be happening. Don't tell me there is no single dry spot here." Diana said."We've been walking for hours for nothing." Linda added."I just can't imagine myself sitting on a place like this." Diana complained."Calm down Diana. I'm sure we'll find somewhere to rest soon." I said to her.We walked some more and fi
"Stuck? What do you mean stuck? Stop this joke Freddy it's not funny at all." Diana said."I'm not joking my hand is really stuck flat on the block!" He yelled."What? How?" I said.Pablo went closer and took a look."He really is stuck." Pablo said."Guys please help me! Get my hand off thing!" Freddy shouted."Do something." Linda said to the rest of us."We know but what are we going to do? How do we get someone's hand loose from a block?!" Diana panicked."Calm down calm down, let's check the book.aybe there's something helpful in it." I said.Diana gave the book to Pablo and he went through the pages of the second task.I smelt fire and when we all turned it was the block which Freddy's hand was stuck on."Hot! Hot! My hand is burning!" Freddy screamed and cried in pain."Be fast!" Linda screamed at Pablo in panick.P
A large snake with two heads had bitten me.Everything around me became blurry and every sound like an echo not stopping.The last thing I saw as I fell to the ground, were my friends rushing towards me.I opened my eyes and found myself in a dark and empty room.Where am I? And where are the others?I got up and started walking towards the door.But the more I walked the more it became obvious that I was going nowhere.It was just like the ground was moving opposite direction and in same pace as me.I even started running but the door remained in the same position as it.Soon I gave up and sat on the floor, staring at the door.I looked around while sitting there and found that it was a small room and just a very small window on the ceiling which lit the room dimly.I sat there, waiting for nothing, expecting noth
After resting a bit, I tried to get up."Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Diana asked as she spotted me getting up."Well, I can't sit here all day." I said."Yes you can. And I expect you to do just that." She replied."We have to get back to the quest. We can't just sit here doing nothing." I told her."Oh? So taking good care of you now is called doing nothing?" Diana asked."We are not going anywhere till you're fully recovered. We can't take that risk." Diana said."Just listen to your girlfriend Lucif." Pablo said."Fine." I said and sat on the floor.Diana gave an 'I won this round face' and I looked at her with a face that said 'I'll get you back for this'."So, what are we going to do now? "I asked." Nothing." Linda answered."What do you mean nothing?" I asked."Well, like Diana said, we are not going anywh
"Yes but... I don't know the way there." Pablo said, scratching the back of his head."We still have a map." I said."That's true. Check the map if it's indicated." Linda said.Pablo checked and Diana went closer to help him."I don't think it's in the map." Pablo said."What the hell are we going to do now?" Linda said."This book was really sent from the pit of hell. It's trying so desperately to destroy us." Pablo said."We'll find a way through it." I said."How do you think we can find our way back to where we were at the beginning of this nonsense?" Diana asked."Yes and if you remember correctly, we went through a black portal before getting to that filthy swamp of a place and then here." Linda explained."Hey. I believe that no matter what, we will accomplish our goal. Just... Stop looking at focusing on the problems and turn your attention to the solut
