Journey: Chapter 8

“So, where do you want to go?” Nightfall said. “What do mean where? I don’t know what this place looks like, where anything is or where this place is to Fjordur!! Do you think I know where to go??” Forest said as a realization hit him.

He told his family he’d be back in three days. Now he’s stuck in a different place with no idea how to get back. If he ever makes it back, his parents will never let him leave the cave again.

“Well I can take you to the closest mountain than we can go wherever you need to go from there. It’s not like I have anything to do besides help you.” Nightfall said “So, what is it like being in a secret society?” Forest asked.

“Well, it like this.” Nightfall said continuing on, “You first have to learn something new and significant before joining, most troodons go for a science. But some do more survival know how. I went and learned Linguistics and learned all basic languages.” Nightfall began to explain and continued to explain that most of everything else from then on was the knowledge that founders of the Order learned and continued their way up to more recent discoveries.

The morning sun began to rise up as Forest and Nightfall climbed up atop one of the smaller mountains of the south of the Island. Forest could see his new friend was a blue with black markings and had a toe claw missing off his one foot. He had a couple good sized wounds on his back and neck that were fairly fresh. “We’re almost at the top. Then we can see most of the Island.” Nightfall said “So, the Order are the only ones who know about this knowledge?” Forest asked.

“Well no, Guardians, minor guardians and some humans also know the knowledge the Order knows.” Nightfall said while looking for the right path up the mountain. “Guardians?” Forest said.

“Yeah Guardians, Bosses, Dragons, Giant Gorilla, Scary Spider and usually a head Guardian above them. I think this is the path up.” Nightfall said changing the subject.

“You lead the way. I don’t know this place.” Forest said as he trying to figure out this little Troodon. The Troodon led Forest up to the peak where they could see the redwoods, and the Red and Green Obelisks. “Well you decide from here, I’ll take you wherever you need to go but no further than that.”.

Forest looked at the three best options. “Well, let’s go to Green Obelisk.” Forest said while getting prepared, “Alright, It’ll be a few days to walk the paths.” Nightfall Said adamantly.

Forest looked at him with awestruck. “Who said anything about walking. Grab on to my bag, we’ll cut the time to a fraction of it.” Forest said, Nightfall reluctantly walked over to Forest and gripped on to his backpack with all his claws.

Forest took a breath, began to run towards the edge and jumped off the peak of the mountain.
