Chapter 14 - Thorns of wall

From the Kaossandra’s Castle, she has exhausted rough day from hard work in guarding the evil entity in the Book of the Dark Magic. Then Glumshanks return home because he got kick out by college. The news for surprising, Kaos has returned home for a family and make up his mother a present the Hydra he stolen. But Kaossandra refused to accept him back after siding with the Doom Raiders. Before returning to her work again, she informs Koas that afterwards she’ll discussing about his future in the family. Saddened by this, Kaos decides that assisting her mother in her work will make warm up to him.

Meanwhile in the Falling Forest, after Jason defeating the Arkeyan Robot by the middle the field. Jason and Az kept searching the riddle for clues the entire forest where could be found. But he can’t stop think about it the King Pen trusted as he told from secret. Jason has thoughts in part of kindness and still figure out himself to stay safe.

By the flashback, wearing disguised mabu Jason sitting next to King Pen still more questions and asked him. And King Pen tells Jason everything the secrets. “So, Jason. Are you feeling nervous I near you?” King Pen asked kindly. “Uh… No! Not at all! Really. I just… wanted to hear how to survive my own, maybe. I don’t have how much longer to stay safe myself.” Jason said. “It’s alright, my friend. You don’t have to off guard. I’m here to help you when I’ll tell you everything. Now, shall I continue talking?” King Pen asked, then Jason nodded for agreement.

“Well, there's someone who ever created in this hidden for the hundred thousand of years. Somewhere from the unknown island, the biggest Skylands secret.” “What kind the biggest Skylands secrets?” “Nobody knows. The wizard of the ancestor’s used up the mystical crystal have ever imagined creation, but no villains or enemies can never be found where is hidden… without the map.”

“Without map! Does the villain’s or enemies didn’t know everything without been seen? What kind is the Skyland Island look like?” Jason asked. “Hahaha! Oh, Jason. I wouldn’t tell you what is looks like. It’s a very deepest secret.” “OH! Bummer. I just wanted to see it. Hey, wait a minute! If the wizards live the secret of the new Skyland, how they ancestors get off to the other side without teleport?”

“There is one teleport pad left. But not just the ordinary teleport pad. It’s a very rarest, hidden of another Skyland of different realms. The ancient tales when the wizards cast the spell surrounded for a mysterious wall cannot be seemed from the other realm. Capital of types of crystal who ever created of the enchantments, artifacts, sorceries, and items. Imagined than other crystals, it created a wormhole and teleports for entire universe and became a future. But the new Skyland secret island where their hidden with the wizards, they have abandoned. No one ever be found or never be find for location. And the sad part for several years passed, all the wizards are beyond for the realm and became almost extinct.”

Then Jason sighed for disappointment a bit and put gentle head down for telling King Pen never find a secret. All the wizards are extinct, except Eon. The last kind in Skylands from in academy.

“I can’t believe it. All the ancestors wizards are gone in another realms. And… now the secret Skylands is gone. I guess no one had ever find and no longer exist.” Jason frowned.

“The secret Skyland does exist. But it might difficult never find the rare teleport hidden. Unless… but now I’ve been thinking? Unless one day for reason, you will seek from your heart guide you and search the entire realm a Skylands, then you will believe yourself in your heart.”

“Me? Why am I doing that?” “Because someone like you, it is your choice follow a path and beyond. A rare teleport no one tell a word where it’s hidden. The underground of tomb.” “The tomb? What’s it looks like?” “I cannot tell you, Jason. It’s a secret. Someday, you will find it yourself.” King Pen said then he smiled at him. “Wow. You’re really making things up for imagination, don’t you?” Jason asked, then King Pen laughed and touched behind his shoulders and Jason laughed at him back.

End of the flashback, Jason felt glad when he walked the path, rather searching the clue a riddle and find the secret of the tomb. Still, he trusts King Pen, as of his friend and guide his heart.

Then, Jason saw a smoke came the dark forest where the camp in the territory, Jason and Az decided to check it out and be on their guard the enemies is near or far from miles ahead. After he’ll won’t be blown covered without get caught again.

“Hmm. I don’t know where that smoke coming, Az? But I have too careful to check them out quietly or I’ll be caught again. I hope.”

Jason walked quietly not making the sound into the territory. It’ll take a few steps more and take a peek, they belong the campfire is the Doom Raiders. But haven’t been evil plan, and no sign the leader Golden Queen. And especially Kaos. Jason already remembers, they only ones beating them up try to steal the map located detector and forcing him where the located the castle for up no good.

“Great. Doom Raiders. They the ones try stole my items form my backpack. I better stay away those guys.” Jason whispered and turned around without been seen.

But then again, Jason thought something new turned head back. Without shooting at the Doom Raiders, he had to check the items to steal it for some stuff. Jason put a backpack down and crawl forward. Jason had a crazy idea to steal.

“Or maybe, I’ll better take a closer look and see something good instead. Az. Listen. Can you do me a favor? Grab something good or the Doom Raiders spot us. I know it’s a bad idea, but crazy. There isn’t goanna happen. You go crawl the right, I’ll go crawl the left. But I will do it and brave myself. Then we make run for it, it will work, I promise.”

Az was little understanding and feel confused when Jason crawl forward left. Until Az did for some help. But now, he’ll seek the right and crawled to find the items left from the Doom Raiders camp.

From Jason’s backpack left behind hidden a bushes and unzip, Niko come out and look for him to checkout. Jason is up to something in action, Niko seek with them both, he’ll make rushed with magnet rolls.

Jason crawl closer quietly, he’ll keeping eye the floating head of Dreamcatcher without blown cover where is Jason’s hiding. He took a peek see on a inside tant a hole, a binocular helped for lookout. He’d need a knife for sharp. He has to careful when they’ve waited till Golden Queen come back.

“Hoo! Can’t wait for killer plan. Well, typically I’m sure will make the chilly tonight.” Pepper Jack said for cleaning a knife. “Agha! Again? Jack, we supposed wait till Golden Queen need a plan to get her castle.” Dreamcatcher said. “Yeah. Kaos haven’t turn a gold, he’s having immune to her power with Kaossandra. When I catch him, I’m goanna break him apart. And then we take down on her and take over.” Wolfgang said form evil plan. “Uh, Wolfgang? He’s having powerful dark magic. But I disagree of you. Still, Kaos is a loser.” “Yeah! Kaos is a powerful against us.” Broccoli guy said then the Doom Raiders ignored. “I can’t believe the Bomb Shell won a trophy! But he’s not a pet himself! He’s haven’t got any pet! And I hate him!” Mega Chompy angered for losing a pet competition.

By behind Pepper Jack, Wolfgang, and Dreamcatcher. Jason saw a knife by holding Pepper Jack’s hand and put underneath a chair on the ground. He’ll to get closer and reach slowly, the knight white gloves won’t be problem to get sharp with his fingers. Jason carefully two fingers holding it and slide it slow. The Doom Raiders haven’t even noticed with hearing still talking to each other, Jason crawl back and not get spotted of Mega Chompy and Broccoli guy. He’s had a knife to cut it behind a hold of tent.

As a Niko, he needed for help still without let Jason seem. Niko find one item and saw a ground with Wolfgang’s phone. He might good used for technology and steal it to grab.

Meanwhile, Kaossandra is in the middle of fortifying the prison of the evil entity with her magic when suddenly Kaos interrupts, ruining the process. Kaos arrives with food she believes her mother’s favorite, but Kaossandra angrily tells him the food is actually his favorite and that his interruption ruined her work today. Suddenly Kaossandra falls ill and fainted on Kaos. And he feels for a comfortable spot.

From the Doom Raiders camp, Jason and Az are still crawling both sides. Az had found a water bottle a metal not to far away. And Jason crawl back where the hold a tent behind where the binocular inside, he cutting a hole make big enough, reached a long arm to grab it, then Jason will slowly crawled heading back where a backpack is hidden by the bushes.

Niko on the other side however, he pushed Wolfgang’s phone heading back Jason’s backpack. Az having a bit patient, but he’s not quite sure he’ll see Doom Raiders are sitting there and talking. Then Niko had idea to distraction, picking up a small rock and throw it by Pepper Jack’s head behind. Then he rushed to push a phone quickly not to get blown cover like Jason.

“Ow! Hey! Who throw that?” Pepper Jack angrily turned, then Doom Raiders head turned behind. But nothing sees them what coming, Az had a chance grab a handle from his mouth and dragged it. He headed back crawling slowly. And Niko still going pushing, rushed without any damaged a phone made it in time to put it in. The problem with stretches his both front magnets underneath, he having bit stick of metal, and control himself magnets off. Niko continued push it in without even notice for Jason.

“There’s nothing here.” Mega Chompy said. “Pepper Jack, are you sure that rock hit you behind? You haven’t seen a Skylanders?” Dreamcatcher asked. “Yeah, I sure did? But somethings fishy going on here.” “Or maybe something spies on us?” Wolfgang curious.

Then Jason hasn’t done anything throw a rock last time. He still hiding and bit crawling to get out of villain’s territory. And he already knew Jason remembered when it faced the Doom Raiders in the Skylander Games.

“Speaking the spying, what’s the one human name again?” Mega Chompy asked. “You mean Jason? He’s dead for explosion, you guys. But especially, he was weak and pathetic. He doesn’t have a power.” Dreamcatcher said, then Jason heard about explosion from the Berserker’s territory.

“Yeah. But he’s not a Skylander, he’s just a big coward. Then second, no thanks to Kaos and lost a map detector. He’s only one betray us where the Kaossandra’s Castle.” Pepper Jack said. “Hmph! Well, guess kinda true. Who’s need him the dumb one. He’s…"

Then, Wolfgang smell a scent pick before interrupt, smelling coming from where is near close. “Wait a minute? I smell something familiar.” “What is it? Skylanders coming?” Dreamcatcher asked. “No. There’s something smell fear coming from. Or who’s not alone with them?” Wolfgang said.

Jason has been stunned for a scent. Wolfgang looked for a spy, or a human scent when he remembers he’s already dead, or he’s still alive for hiding from behind. And Wolfgang saw a ground dragging for the metal water bottle and smell a sheep for scent.

“Hmm. There’s something going on try to steal our stuff.”

Az already knows dragging a track of ground, Jason feeling frightened when Az not so easy to escape the territory. He’ll have to prepare himself to save a small sheep. He’ll been blown cover and captured again. But then it happened.

“Oh! Everyone, everyone, I have stupendous news. My master plan has finally come to fruition.” Gold Queen happily, almost spotted Jason near hidden and show to them the tracking device of map for locating. “The tracking device installed in the Hydra has given me a location where we can find it at Kaossandra’s castle.”

Then Jason was shocked for her evil plan. It happened so fast; the Doom Raiders will find a tracker headed her castle where is hidden.

However, in Kaos’s guest castle, Glumshanks giving brush Hydra to clean for skin. Happen to notice the tracking chip while bit busy cleaning the Hydra and inadvertently destroys is as fell on the bathtub.

“Now prepare for war, Doom Raiders, because tonight-" Then interrupting the location, her sentences. Jason and Az heard a tracker beeping of few seconds, Golden check the screen. “Signal lost? What do you mean signal lost?” She angers foiled the master plan failed. “No!”

She threw away behind close to Jason and out of control blasted everything turned gold. The Doom Raiders flea to and take cover. But Jason will make run for it of distraction and grab the tracking device rushed behind the tree with his backpack. Niko quickly getting in and zipped a near closed no one will covered blown, and Az made it dropped the metal water bottle. Jason grabbed the fourth item with holding it without dropping loose.

“Run for it, Az! Let’s get out of here!” Jason cried and rushed into the forest from the path and never looked back. The Golden Queen still angry blasted when she failed find the Kaossandra’s Castle for a tracker chip and Doom Raiders are taking covered, away from inches never get hit the blast turned into a gold.

By finished a bath for Hydra and taking a nap, Kaos was this close to making headway with mother when she had passed out due to exhaustion again. He needs to forgive when she’s unconscious all the time. Kaos must be something he can do to help her. If only he could use his dark powers in some day. He’ll might know a way for Kaos to win back his mother’s love forever. He’ll prove to mother, and she will never have to dough his loyalty to her ever again.

By escaped the Doom Raiders territory, Jason and Az kept running until the energy’s low with no food and water. He still holds four items steals with knife, binocular, metal water bottle, and a tracking device. But the Doom Raiders haven’t been followed a track, both are lucky survived the villain's camp.

Jason and Az are tired running, and exhausting. But now, both completely lost in the dark forest, and Jason feel shaken as Wolfgang call him a coward. Jason did a right choice not to fight against a Doom Raiders himself, he’s too weak for skinny legs, arms, and the chest of ribs. He sits down on the ground near the dark tree, and gently dropped four items and a backpack, still little shaking fear, Jason need to calmly down. Until as nuzzled again to make him feel better.

“Whew! Man, I never seen Golden Queen so angry. Az, you’re alright?” He asked, the sheep nodded. “Oh. Thank goodness. That was way too close. We did not do that again or the Doom Raiders caught me again for blown covered. But I’m okay.”

In fact, Jason feeling scared and fear, six against one hardly stay out of sight, survive, and lived. He looked at the tracking device pick it up to see a screen, not as map have no zoom in or out, not very helpful where the landed stuck in the Falling Forest. The tracking beeping finally stopped a three minute ago, he turned off a button put down on a lap and sighed for relieved. But Jason still promised for Dallnix to keep going. As he never breaks his promise never lose a scroll of riddle.

Jason picks it up a metal water bottle and shake it. He heard a water, opening cap, not much a water for less, Jason and Az will share to drink it.

“Here, bud. Drink it up. I’ll drink it last. We’re get some water somewhere, I already lost one when enemies stole it from me.”

After both drinking ago, they tasted a freshwater make a little bit better, but the energy for water is not enough. He’ll unzip a backpack and put gently two items divided, the back and the front. Carefully a knife without cutting and binocular and closed zip. By the back unzipped, Jason gently fit in it to make more room. He slides the tracking device behind a big book, and a metal water bottle, closing zip sealed for a perfectly fit.

“That’s a do it. I believed the Doom Raiders won’t follow us now. But we’re not giving up hope. We got ways to go.”

So now, Jason will continued search, putting on behind back a backpack. But he felt bit heavy load, Jason feels something strange, wiggled inside behind a back.

“Huh? Funny. I couldn’t swear I felt wiggle or something.” Jason curious, then shake a backpack a bit. “Hmm? Guess not. I thought I felt it something. Sort of. Come on.”

He gets up off the ground, and on the way back on path across walking straight. From the inside, Niko feeling bit suffocating, and little cramp. He struggled carefully needed an air turning on light with his eyes. By the back for a tool, didn’t want a scratched, all the slide it in from tools and his forehead, struggled free himself, and found a zipper he can open needed an air peaky small hole unzipped outside where is Jason going to look for.

By the outside, Jason feels empty stomach growling, starving with no food to bring, he’ll won’t survived in few weeks in fate to death. Same was Az, no signs green grass to eat in the dark forest.

“Did you hear your stomach growled too, Az?” Jason asked, then Az nodded for hunger. “I know you upset looking for food, I’m working on it for sure. This is the madness for maze!”

Jason and Az both very upset for hunger. They keep walking, still looking the clues of first riddle of day one. Jason will make up to him to cheer Az up.

“You’re going be okay. We will keep trying to look the rare teleport like King Pen told by a first time.”

Az make feeling better as he promised. Then it suddenly, Jason spotted something, a very huge thorns from the dark forest not too far away, he never knows found a clue. He decided to get closer look, walk down a hill never seen thorns are blocked for wide 30 feet long high from two side of left and right never ends reached of the dead end from path.

“Wow! I never seen such bunch of thorns. So very big. What do we think, bud? Any chance the Doom Raiders or Greebles and trolls won’t capture us?”

Az haven’t been answered, and so is Jason couldn’t figure it out the answered or he did. The impossible see a hole pointy big and small thorns of walls, the problem he’s worried to sticking a pointy cut with rip or scratch.

“Oh! None of us can’t through inside of bunch of thorns like a wall.” He said, but then he gasped found the answer.

The first riddle is a thorn, so Jason still has a white knight glove, he can make a hole to get inside. He’s had of idea to do it himself to make through straight without the path.

“Or maybe I can. Az, get behind me, but you’re not goanna like it. I’ll make a hole clear out like a door... or something. Well. Here’s goes nothing.”

He put a backpack at the front, grabbed a thorn and stretch lift to make a hole. Jason went inside a dangerous surrounding of thorns without getting scratches for injured, thorns behind closed itself. He’ll make another hole to passed through never turned back.

“Oh boy. This is taking whole while, so this is why I hate thorns I don’t get stuck from my pants. Even I need something a wool like a sheep. Uh… no offense.”

Az could hear Jason wool, but not he’s using belong to Az’s wool. And Az crawled carefully not to get stick or pointed sharp from his face, or he’d trapped for surrounded a thorn of the wall.

Inside the backpack, Niko stayed hidden and keep quiet without making squeal, seeing the thorns when Jason kept lifted new hole and another passing ahead straight. He’d would know what are capable of been to against challenged a dangerous place.

After taking 20 minutes later, Jason still moving on till the thorn’s passing through a wall and see a hole outside. Jason could see clear, the harder he tries one more lift, then look down carefully. A very big pit sees nothingness from a ground by 20 feet below, but the dangerous it caused without falling.

“Oh wow! That’s a big deep down there. Um. Yeah. Right. It’s too dangerous down there, but we think might the wrong turn or something. Don’t worry, Az. I’ll think have to turned back.” Jason grunting, then the thrones caught a backpack and arms by shirt. “Oh, great! The thorns got me. Okay. Nothing to panic. I got this. I’ll thinking something to get out… of these things.”

Jason feels struggling to get it out, but the thorns are too strong to stick getting out. Az having little worried when Jason didn’t look the cliff behind and warned him.

“Give a minute, Az. I… have too… get… it… out!” Then he steps back broke free, but it’s too late couldn’t see it backwards and he fell. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh no! AAAAHHHH!” Jason falls into a pit of height by 20 feet, crashed down behind a back on a ground. He almost broke a spine when he still survived, Jason haven’t been injured because he flat without moving angle inches. As a backpack at the front, the items safe without breaking them.

“Ow. Gah! I think I almost broke my back or something.” He groaned, then Az slipped a cliff accidentally, fell right from a middle between his legs, and broke the fall. “Off! Ooha! Cracker knuckle! Gah! That kind of hurt!”

At that moment, falling into a big pit, Jason and Az trapped surrounded thorns are now inside. No one climbed back up or never come out from of dark forest. As of Niko inside, he feels lucky for not getting squished or even more cramp suffocating. And he’s feeling bit dizzy, Niko still breathing have no problem with a hole from air.

Then Jason gets up gentle forward back, he looks around fell in the pit see the sky above and see the wide-open space a flat ground dirt for nothingness. Now Jason started to worry to get out, the impossible he gets, the harder he tried, or he’d be panicked trapped in the big pit. “Oh no.” He stunned and little panicked lying on a ground and doomed.
