The golden map
Zaya sat at the frontal part beside her white bed's pillow,her elbow resting on it intently,
her hands pressed against her chin.
Her face reflecting a pondering look, she was clearly lost about something,
Her friends who gathered around the bed seemed to be drooling over a golden glittering map,June was still trying to reject the fact that all of this was real.
Pauline seemed to be caressing the shimmering flat scroll like it was her new born baby, Ashara's mouth was constantly dangling wide open as she glanced at each words,pictures and their locations, to her, they were like clues to a secret ancient prophecy.
While Zoey and Natasha glued their eyes on some part of the map stating,
"Mirror of infinite beauty"
To them time had stopped at that moment and they would stop at nothing but to get to it,they began arguing on who would get to it first,
"Zaya" June suddenly blurted out,"you've had this map this whole time and you didn't tell anyone about it,"
"Have you been going on this super secret amazing adventures alone!"
Zaya who's been kept in defense denied,saying "of course not June,"
"I'm even surprised it's there,"zaya replied,what do you mean? Ashara asked, Zaya then explained,
"I've tried it so many times before but whenever I opened the scroll it was absolutely blank,"
"What!" Zoey yelled,
"But you were so confident about it,"
"yes of course I was" zaya said
As she rolled her eyes resting her back against the wall, "It's the fox form it's really taking over me",
"I wasn't really sure it was gonna work but turns out my little theory was correct,"
"Well I don't think your fox form being dramatic would make you pull something like that off" Zoey stated,
"Come to think of it," Pauline joined in, "When we asked you what was going on in the hall you said I should take you home that you have some answers,"
"Are you trying to say you really didn't?!"
Zaya responded after yawning, "I was too lazy to take the cab so my cunningness made me take advantage of the situation," she said smirking mischievously.
Pauline pounced on her, they began throwing hands at each other like two cats trying to kill a mosquito on each other's faces,
"Wait," "hold on," "it was the fox in me! Zaya struggled to exclaim,"
"Of course You're lying" Pauline said, "it was all you!"
June yelled for them to stop but they seemed to enjoy their cat fight that they weren't listening at all,
"guys!"
Zoey tuned in snapping them both back to reality while staring at the map like she was the one who wrote it,
"where did this thing come from and what's it asking us to do," Zoey spoke,
"Hey that's my line" June said.
--------
Zaya's theory
Zaya finally letting her self free from Pauline said,
"Guys listen, let me tell you what my theory is."
"The marine virus created by the VV corps is not the real deal" zaya said,
"I think it's a distraction from something else they've been working on, something powerful,
something strong enough to bring magic that was once lost back to our world and even more."
"I think there's still more to it a greater purpose,
some treasures really powerful are out there and we need to get it all back before the actual bad guys do,
but of course,
I don't have any proof of this, so that's why we'll be going somewhere faraway,To discover our true purpose,"
"The foxes magical den,"
"To get more detail, that's the closest to anything I have discovered" zaya said proudly.
June raised her hands up, "yes June" zaya responded to her gesture "what do you mean actual bad guys?"
Zaya hesitated, she wondered if it'd be right to tell them about this, but eventually she gave in,
She told them about the vision and why she thinks they'll have to steal some treasures that belonged to their ancestors in the ancient past but were stolen and have now been scattered all over the world,
"Wait hold on a second," Natasha said are you saying my ancestors were birds!" "I don't remember granny being a bird," "well," zaya said looking at the sun setting outside of the window" it's bright light illuminating on her face.
"Am sure we all have questions but we'll be able to find a thing or too when we get to the magical den,"
"Alright let's get going!" Natasha yelled,
"Going where?"
Zaya's mum said as she suddenly popped up from no where,
It's 6:00pm you girls can't go anywhere,you won't make it back home in time and your parents will be worried.
That's true Zoey said in a sad tone, Thanks Mrs Lexington Ashara spoke,
"Anytime" zaya's mum said as she walked out of the room.
"Alright girls"Ashara said "Natasha's gonna add all of us to a group chat then we'll all meet in school and continue from there got it?",
"what?,I am?"
Natasha said startled,
"yes Natasha" Zoey said "we all know you are as a matter of factly The omni social one.
"Yes and you probably know things about us even more than we know about ourselves" Pauline said,
Ashara grabbed her bag on the multi colored tiles and waved to zaya who was still sitting on her bed.
"Good night zaya see you tomorrow,"
As she grabbed both Pauline and Zoey's hands and yanked them out of the room,
June also waved and said bye to zaya as she left the room while Natasha the last to leave said "come on zaya escort us out,we're your guests aren't we?"
They both walked out towards the place where the car was parked the five girls entered the car,
Zaya waved bye to the girls and they all responded in unison,
"Also Natasha," zaya suddenly called gazing into the car,
Natasha looked up at zaya who was outside of the car as zaya raised her hands up gestured her fingers to snap and a golden map appeared on her hand like she casted a spell to make it happen,
"what?!"
Natasha said looking dumbfounded
"how did you?"
"Oh Natasha", zaya said smiling,
"don't you know you can't steal from robbery itself,"
"-_-"
She chuckled then said,"see you in school girls!"
---------
Battle cry
73 BC
Somewhere In The Northwest Coast.
Water splashed across the near ground surface as she was rinsing what was left of the washed dishes,
She hurried as she wasn't going to miss spending a lot of time with her orphan friends,
Because of her mother's chore rules and her sister's absence,
she was stuck up doing the dishes again,
"Edeth!" her mother called.
Her mother yelling from inside the cabin a split second from when she finished the dishes,
"ugh!"
She groaned, frustrated,
it was like her mother had hyper instinct senses that were sharper than hers,
"Come," "Edeth" her mother yelled again,she was furious as she walked into the little cabin,
Leg stomping on the ground hard, trying to calm her self down,she entered the room where her mother was,
Her mother sat in a corner knitting sweaters for the coming winter,
"Edeth"she said,"yes mother",
"wait, do not speak mother,she suddenly winced out, you have a chore you want to give me, I know mother, but I need to visit my friends,I need to know how they've been doing."
"yes Edeth", I understand," Edeth's mother said holding a clear white diamond necklace in both of her hands, "what's that mother?"
Edeth asked.
"It's my diamond necklace Edeth it is your's from now on,"
"it will reflect the great gift you
had when you protected this village,"
"Thank you mother" Edeth said glad her face slightly dampening as she remembered the night that their town was intruded,
There was a loud celebration as the floating lamps were let into the air,
In their town this signified the beginning of the new year celebration.
In the midst of the crowd you could see a silver haired girl with an average pony tail,
Smiles and laughter swept across her face continuously as she dances with her friends gwenneth and Olivia,twirling,turning,swaying and jumping.
Edeth doesn't really love the new year's celebrations like other's did but the excitement all her friends simultaneously portrayed always kept her spirit up.
After the dancing was over,
it was time for the annual fighting contest,
Everyone began to rush to the town square where a lush field could be found,
it was where they originally practiced their fighting skills,
Women and girls in the town however were never allowed to take part in the battles,
In their town it was a part of tradition that they saw the female as sacred beings who should be protected by the masculine gender.
That rule was exempted from the new Year's talent celebration,
Making all female gender crave to show off their swords skills.
This did not exclude both of Edeth's friends,
Gwenneth and Olivia, they rushed to their respective houses with utter anticipation.
For the past few years,
Edeth has not participated in the games because to her it was disrespect to the ancient traditions,but after constant persuasion from her friends she was left with no choice.
She waved to her friends as they went back to their homes to gather their fighting equipments.
Edeth was an archer, she hurriedly grabbed her bow and her arrows, tucking it gently at her back,
She hurried to the mountains,
sprinting at ultimate speed.
She always went there to get a view of the great midnight star,
it felt closer from the mountain.
When she arrived, just as she thought her little silver headed sister Odeth was already there sitting close to the edge of the cliff staring at the beautiful stars shimmering in contrast to the dark midnight sky,
Odeth gestured for her sister to come sit beside her,
A smile plastered across her face.
Odeth couldn't walk and she was always carried around by her horse "manny,"
Edeth sat beside her sister as they were both soon engrossed staring at the twinkling objects in the sky,
it was beautiful.
Their focused gaze was distracted from a loud bell sound that came from the town below,
They both began to panick as they knew their town was suddenly under attack,sister Edeth,
"what do we do?" "Am afraid", said little odeth, suddenly shivering, it'll be alright Odeth,
Edeth said calming her younger sister down,from the sound of the alert gong, Edeth knew that the attackers should be roughly four hundred in number or even more,
Unfortunately the number of men in her town is estimated as one-third of that.
She took deep breaths dispersing her fearful thoughts as she lifted her sister Odeth and kept her on the horse manny,
Odeth, she said listen to me my dear beloveth sister,
you need to ride as far away as you can,
don't stop until you are far far away from this place alright?
Odeth who had began to cry hugged her sister tight,
Edeth hugged her crying sister consoling her she removed her white dagger in her repertoire and handed it to odeth along with the last bag of coins she possessed,
Be safe Odeth she said as she fastened odeth's grip on the horse,
Manny began to gallop into the thick woods with Odeth on the back waving good bye to her sister,
Edeth waved back as a drop of tear fell from her eyes,
encouraging herself she ran back towards the town square were she was sure all the rest were gathered.
The men fought gallantly with honour but one by one they fell,
All the women and children had gathered in the town square,some praying,others weeping,they all sat in the open field.
Up ahead the enemy survivors of the battle began to walk down towards where they were,
The men who guarded the town square launched forward aiming for a well calculated attack, but where slaughtered like goats running into fire,
They began approaching,
Edeth held her mother's hands tightly as she gazed at Olivia and gwenneth along with her brethren,
Fear and sorrow filled their eyes with utter despair, she assured them that they'll be fine and that they shouldn't worry,
All the enemies coming towards them halted and formed two separate lines, emerging from their middle were the ones who led the invasion along with some other men,
They wore pitch black armour with red skull maskes that covered their faces.
Edeth knew who they were,
They were the rebellious group who have constantly waged war against the king so they could rule the kingdom for themselves,
it was secretly led by the king's uncle.
She closed her eyes hoping this was just one of her stupid imaginations,
but reality struck her hard when she heard a familiar voice,
it was Olivia's father,blood gushing from his body like it was a waterfall as he grit in pain, he was brought along with other terribly injured men who managed to stay alive,
one by one they were killed in front of their wives and children,
Edeth's face became blank when she saw them kill Olivia's father
---------
The Great Warrior
At that moment she had seen enough,she stood, her mother tugging her cloth back and gesturing hysterically for her to stop in her tracks.
To Edeth her town had been destroyed, the kingdom would at most fall by dawn, and she didn't care anymore about some barbaric traditions.
She stepped forward,
each footsteps drawing closer towards the rebels felt like a countdown to a bomb.
she gripped her hands tightly in bitter rage,grabbed her bow at unseen speed nocked and fired.
The atmosphere went still as the arrow teared through the air like an eagle heading towards it's prey,
it entered into the head of the man that killed Olivia's father,
"you bitch!" One of the men yelled aiming an iron arrow at her and shot it in retaliation,the arrow pierced through the air straight up heading for her heart,
To their utmost shock she caught it mid way,with one hand,
showing her intense speed and wrath she broke it into shackles with that same hand, the men were stunned at this sight,ten, twelve, seventeen of them fired their arrows,
She dodged, sliding on the ground like it was made of wet glass,
grabbing four arrows nocking all of it at once and launching it accurately towards them,
The arrows loosened slicing through the unfortunate rebels like they were fruits.
In a few seconds after continuous counter multiple arrow nocks and shots they were all dead,
In the midst of the dieing rebels, Edeth stood unscratched like she just woke up from a beauty sleep.
She went to the one who led the little group grabbed his sword and sheath it, as she faced back towards the women and children and yelled,
"Go!" "Grab any weapon you can find,our town will not fall tonight!"
She dashed forward heading to the entrance of the town,
Her speed unbelievable accompanied by her two friends and the whole army of women and children behind her.
As she crossed the entrance of the gates she stopped as the sight of a thousand men greeted her, arranged in a war formation, swords,spears and different weapons in their hands,
they were the emergency aid to the war occuring in the capital of the kingdom.
She walked towards them and screamed
"Rebels of Britannia!"
"I give you a choice to lower your weapons and surrender or see our wrath!"
The rebels bursted into laughter and scorn,
The commander casually gestured to one of the tough men to take Edith down,
The man launched forward,
In her boiling rage and chaotic fury,
she unsheathed the sword at her side,
And though she was a few feet from the position of the giant swords man,
it took only a sway of the sword and the unlucky man was split into half, without the sword contacting his body.
A look of confusion appeared on the man's face as his upper body fell to the ground.
Two white ears emerged from the top of her head,her white hair grew longer, her eyes glowing white,two white tails evolved from the back of her waist, her outfit blazed, shimmering in white energy, The energy also engrossing her sword.
The army commander was in despair as he yelled
Archers
nock!
Aim!
Fire!!
Hundreds of arrows heading towards her position,her silver hair and white blazing outfit moving rhythmically with the wind like waves,
without the slightest move from where she stood the arrows began breaking, falling into pieces meters from where she was located,her movements could not be seen by the naked eye.
At that moment the town residents at her back yelled!
Marching towards the army,with olivia and gwenneth in their full fox form they dashed towards the rebels.
Her hair and outfit following the wind's rhythm as she took a step forward in what seemed really quick yet slow and then another step and
then,
a blur,as she couldn't be traced anymore.
She had launched forward!
---------
Here they go
It was 3:00AM in the midnight as Zaya jolted from her sleep,
Heart pounding, drenched in an ocean of sweat from top to bottom.
Her skin was stiffened as it was covered in what felt like an infinite goose bumps,
She fell on the ground in a loud thud,
Tears swelling in her eyes as she remenisced about the dream she just had it was the most amazing feeling she ever felt.
Her dad rushed into the room after hearing the sound,seeing the soaked motionless zaya lying on the ground,
zaya?!, He said panicking,am fine dad, I'm alright,
Zaya said as she rolled on the ground thinking she was standing,
Zaya's dad wrapped her soaked body in a towel and carried her to the living room where her mum was.
"Zaya what happened?!,"
Naya spoke out worried,
Dan placed zaya on the sofa giving her some hot tea in a mug to drink,
she grabbed it sipping it,
It's all right mum,
"All foxes must stick together,"
she spoke wearily,drifting back to sleep.
That morning the kids were all chattering in what seemed to never end,
Zaya wasn't quite bored as she was glad everyone had gone back to normal,
she stared towards her reflection in the bus window looking at a regular girl who could at anytime turn to a dangerous ravenous beast.
The bus halted,the passengers rushed out as they all seemed to be heading to the same place,
The phantom middle school.
Coming out last from the school bus was zaya Lexington,her legs dragging on the ground like bursted car tyres,
she tripped and caught herself midway almost hitting the hard tarred ground,
she looked up pacing hurriedly as she entered the school.
Continuously yawning, her body was still affected by the dream she had that midnight,
stressed, she walked through the hallway towards her class,
"Zaya!" But of course Zaya wasn't listening because at that moment her ears felt like heavy bags of ice as she could barely hear a thing.
The figure who owned the voice rushed giving Zaya a hug from the back,
Zaya stunned tripped and fell hitting the ground along with her anonymous hugger like she lacked purpose, "Zaya? "
June called out "are you alright?"
"What?" "Oh it's you June" Zaya said forcing a smile on her weak face,
"You look terrible Zaya, what happened, should I take you to the school nurse?"
"No,am fine" Zaya replied as they both stood up,
Come on follow me, June said dragging Zaya behind her,
They both hurried towards the girls locker room, were they met the remaining four, they were the only ones in the room.
---------
Road trip or is it
Natasha seemed to be telling the other three about something important as zaya and June walked in.
"I found her," June said facing the four, out of breath.
"Where have you been zaya?"
Zoey asked walking towards her,"You've never been this hard to find,"
"She seems rather pale",Ashara said as she held the staggering zaya,
"I caught her walking in circles around the hall way,"June spoke.
"Zaya are you alright" Pauline said shaking Zaya to and fro,
"Don't tell me you lost my baby Goldie map!"
Zaya could only smile wryly at Pauline's joke,
"What are you girls even doing in the locker room anyways,"
Zaya said her eyes struggling to open,
"ain't we meant to be in class or something" she silently mumbled,"
"Of course we are" Natasha said "but our good old teacher mrs Bennison is back and we aren't going to get a substitute until three days."
"So we are practically screwed," Zoey responded,
"Exactly,"Pauline affirmed.
"Alright," zaya said as she walked forward towards one of the lockers.
"What are you doing?" Ashara asked,
June who knew what was about to happen approached her quickly and caught her while she was about to fall.
The others scampered towards her position,
June laid zaya on the ground carefully.
"I think you have a rare case of Toxoplasmosis" June said as she grabbed and wore her thinking glasses,
she kept her hand on her chin as she became lost in her thoughts.
"Sorry bothering you girls" zaya said as she pointed her forehead towards one of the lockers lined up,
In that locker over there you'll find a box with grapes the purple kind,
Pauline walked to the locker shoving it open her eyes scanning for a purple grape,
Having found it she grabbed the package of purple grapes and handed it over to zaya,
Eat up!
She said, we'll be going soon.
"What?," "Going where?"
Zaya said her mouth full with grapes,
"The foxes magical den!"
Zoey yelled, jumping and absolutely over excited,
"But we don't even have the exact location" zaya said gulping the last of the grapes.
"I've been doing some research June said even though it's not the exact place we'll be somewhat close."
"Alright girls, we're going on a road trip!"zaya screamed suddenly, as she rose up adjusting her backpack.
"Wow that fast?"Zoey said surprised at Zaya's quick recovery.
"We need to leave really quick Ashara said before they find us,"
"You all should keep to the plan,what plan?"
"No worries zaya," Natasha said "just watch."
Stealthily they walked out of the locker room heading straight for the school's exit,along the way they could see some of their other class mates wondering around the school trying to avoid Mrs Bennison.
Just as planned Pauline bribed both the receptionist and security guards giving some random excuses about how they were all terribly sick and needed to go home.
As they entered Pauline's car June then spoke "though we could really have done this tomorrow on a Saturday right,"
"Nope" zaya responded "every second counts,any slight mistake and the
enemies are another step ahead of us."
"I've uploaded the map to your car's server Pauline,"Zoey said, "let's go now."
"Yes but we have to make a quick stop to get supplies,"
"Supplies?" Natasha asked "yeah we might be gone for three days max" Ashara said,
"Yes that's approximately correct if we take a car through out the trip" June intervened,
"No way" Zoey said staring at the map, "I can't survive in the wild for more than three seconds I'll be dead by three days am sure,"
"You are headed to an ice mountain 800 miles away from your current location, At average speed it'll be approximately 9 hours till arrival.
The car's map automated voice spoke.
"Even snow's way worse" Zoey said bawling like a little child.
Pauline switched it off as she wore her shades and drove out of the parking lot, "we're going to my place first,"she said pressing the accelerator harder, that's where we get the supplies.
---------
Arrival
They got down from their car staring at what seemed like an estate.
The other four lost their minds at the sight of the million dollar mansions!
Natasha then coughed trying to regain her wavering composure,
"which one of these is your house Pauline?"
"Actually Pauline said, bragging it's just one of my mum's estates
It's all ours though,"
Pauline said, let's quickly go to the hyper market,
"what?" "you have an hyper market in your home zaya said dumbfounded,"
"That's very rare to find even in some countries" June added,
Staring at Pauline who was now dialing the number of one of her drivers.
Ashara wondered, if Pauline was this rich then how rich will Zoey be!
Her gaze suddenly meeting Zoey's,who only just shrugged her shoulders like she has been expecting Ashara's reaction all along.
Moments later the driver arrived in a dazzling car, they hopped on.
The driver dropped them at the hyper super market they hurried inside,
They all stared at Zaya, "Zaya what are we gonna need" Pauline asked as some attendant with a book and pen in her hands suddenly appeared amongst them.
"Well warm outfits for sure then fighting outfits too make them cold resistant,and hard to destroy,
Zip lines, first aid kits,swords, grenades,
Gliders,hook and lines,lighters,ropes, torches,clock, walkie talkie,tents,mountain climbing kits,tasers,A detachable bulb and... am out of adventures tool juice guys."
Zaya said sadly, "no worries" Zoey said "we'll get the rest while shopping am sure,"
"Okay girls" Pauline yelled "free shopping spree!"
After shopping for ten hours straight June and zaya joined forces to save the others from what felt like a spell casted on them to shop for the rest of their lives without quitting.
They hurried out of the hyper market breathing like they just escaped from ravaging wolfs.
"Guys we are not gonna make it in time "
Zoey spoke,
"it'll be midnight, when we get there,"
As the time was around six in the evening.
Then a smirk suddenly appeared on her face,
"which could only mean"she said,
"You wouldn't dare" Pauline said,
"We are taking the helicopter!"
Zoey screamed her eyes beaming with joy along with the others who were having the best moments of her life, they hurried towards the position where the driver's car parked,
They entered it and he drove towards the heli pad were an helicopter alighted from above and they all
entered it.
Not so long after they arrived close to the artic mountain,
there was a snow storm up ahead so the helicopter had to drop a bit far from the mountain even while still in the snow.
They told the helicopter rider to call for help if they were not back the next morning,
haven done that they headed towards the mountain in the snow storm, in boots,head warmers,goggles,gloves and sweaters from head to toe Meanwhile the warm outfit covering their actual battle outfits.
---------
Speckles of the Ancient Warrior.
They gathered in a circle,
what now?!,
Ashara yelled amidst the snowing storm as they've been walking aimlessly with no exact direction in the snowy paths,
Zaya then responded loudly,
"it's really snowing out here and we are headed to a den!,"
"so it should be a cave around here somewhere!"
"I think I know where we can find the closest one" June said her voice high,"Follow me" she said gesturing her hands for them to follow.
They walked around the mountain in the snowy paths and fog,
after walking continuously,
they arrived at a shallow path where June called "A mountain cave."There was just one little problem,
The mountain was there just not the cave.
It was an iced mountain wall!
With icicles on top of it looking like they were gonna fall any second soon,
The moment they saw the wall they were fuelled with annoyance,
"what in the heck?" Natasha said
"how are we ever going to find this secret magical fox den if the cave is a wall"
Then there was a flicker in June's back pack something wanting to emerge, she put the bag on the snow ground and removed the flickering map.
They all stared at the map in her two hands that began to glow as bright as ever before,unaffected by the raging snow storm seemingly getting brighter as the seconds passed.
To their shock everything on it vanished leaving a very horrifying blank page,
Then slowly the picture of the wall they were standing right before appeared, and broke into pieces in the map.
Then a eye blinding light came out from the cave.
The mapthen returned back to it's world map state.
June folded the map as it had started being affected by the snow and kept it back in her bag,
Alright girls, an happy look appeared in Zaya's face as she said let's break down this stupid ice wall!
Yeah!
The others screamed stepping back as zaya unlocked and threw a grenade towards the iced wall.
There was a loud sound, Bam!!
As icicles shattered on the ground along with other stones.
They gathered around the stone rubble in utter expectations, they all held their hands as they entered the wide opening,
Set before them was an absolutely and beautifully solid regular and normal cave!
Their anxiousness vanished like darkness when light comes.
They entered the dark cave
"Seriously this is all we get?"
Zoey said kicking a stone that was lying around on the ground
Her look showing disappointment,
"This can't be all of it,"Ashara said
As she switched on her torch let's go deeper into the cave,
They all agreed and ventured into the dark cave,
After a few minutes of constant walking they could see a sparkling light far away into the cave.
Guys do you see that?
Zaya yelled her eyes staring at the blinking light far away,
they all rushed towards the mysterious light, hope in their eyes.
On getting to the cave interior, set before them were glowing mushrooms,sea shells, fire flies with different colours hovering around the place
The ice walls were so clear you could mistake them for glass.
"OMG!"
Discovery of the year!"
Pauline screamed,
"This place is awesome" Natasha said loudly,her voice echoing around the glimmering cave.
Ashara grabbed one of the sea shells absolutely surprised as green emeralds fell from it insides.
She was beyond excited, "we are gonna be rich,"
Ashara yelled, except for you two she said pointing at Zoey and Pauline "you guys are already rich."
Sniffing,zaya picked up a scent, "what's going on?" June asked,glaring at zaya, is it a wild animal
or worse, A wild human?
No, zaya said it's a painting, follow me she said as she went deeper into the cave the others following as Ashara quickly gathered the emeralds she could find, packing it into her back
Her mouth wide with a grin before she screamed, "wait up guys."
Soon enough the others caught up with zaya's who had stopped running,
as she was staring at both of the walls besides her,drawings on every part on each sides,
She could see various wolves and humans lined up on the wall their lifestyles and lifetimes for centuries,
Walking slowly she knew she was gaining on the end of the cave.
She walked a little bit further, the others still staring at the walls,
Not more than nine feet away all that was left,was a big and slightly hot lake filling about half a mile away,
It was the part of the ice that has melted because of the heat in that area,
Zaya walked towards the edge of the cave staring forward at what seemed to be a big hole chopped in the insides of a mountain.
She glanced at the raggered stony ceiling,
the boulders in the midst of the waters it was peaceful and calm, steam rising out of it,
"Feels like the perfect place to take a bath," June who was now beside Zaya said,"it sure is," zaya replied staring back at the hot lake.
"Zaya!,"
"Ashara called from behind her, how come you didn't see this earlier?",
Zaya reluctantly walked towards where Ashara and the others stood,
She was very sure she'd seen every of the cave drawing.
Zaya stopped at where Ashara stood,she stared at a drawing with colours, she was surprised.
How come she didn't see this before she thought,
She looked at the painting
There were thousands of men on the ground some injured,some covered in blood,
others breathing their last.
They looked like they just fought a war,
but something was not right, they all wore the same colour of armour,
No opposing army.
Then it struck zaya hard,
her gaze suddenly fell on a girl standing in the midst of the fallen warriors,
A hundred goose bumps rose around her body as she recognized the white silver hair,white armour,
The White blazing sword.
Standing in their midst, was Edeth!
