Heroes of Pandora

Chapter 14 (now that introducing the characters and stuff is over, it’s gonna get good.)

“Wow..” Jaxz said. “Yup welcome to the floating island of Pandora.” Caesar said. (I swear the avatar reference wasn’t on purpose 😂) “how are we getting up there?” Ron asked. “I don’t know, we could build Jaxz a platform saddle.” Caesar said. “Uhh no thanks.” Jaxz said. “Or we could build a basket and turn Jaxz into a hot air balloon.” Ping said. “Ping that’s stu-.. wait that’s actually a good idea..” Caesar said. “What idea?” Ping said. “The hot air balloon..” Caesar said. “What’s a “”hot arey ballooon””?” Ping said. Caesar, yet again facepalmed.

They got to work Jaxz, Ping, and Ron striped the thatch off some trees, wile Nash and Caesar built the basket. “It’s looking good.” Caesar said. “The adventurers created a large basket, with only thatch and sweat to ascend up to the floating island,” Nash said “oh yes I like that!” He continued “what are you doing?” Caesar asked. “I’m writing the thrilling tale of our dragon killing adventure!” Nash said. “I thought you said this was going to be a sad story.” Caesar said. “I No longer think that I believe this group could prevail.” Nash said.

When they Finished the basket, they tested it, with various smacks and attempted rippings, but it was well crafted and didn’t break, satisfied with their work the four got inside, it was slightly cramped but cozy, Nash decided to get out and fly, as he was getting claustrophobic, Jaxz being a desmodus lifted the basket with ease, then they heard a strange noise, a shrieking melody that for some reason drew them in “hey we should jump into the water down there.” Ping said. “Why would we do that Ping?” Nash asked. “Ya he’s right we should go.” Ron said. The sound got louder, and Ping tried to go overboard followed by Ron, Caesar held them back saying “what are you two doing!” Then the sound grew even louder, and even Caesar tried to jump out, Nash held them back but the basket was tipping. “What are they doing!!” Jaxz called out. He was flying awkwardly due to the basket tipping. “I don’t know!” Nash yelled struggling to hold them, then Ron turned back and looked at Nash, eyes like a robot “must go into water!” He yelled, he bit Nashes leg, he cried out in pain, and instinctively let go of them. They all fell “NO!” Nash yelled. He flew down and grabbed the first one he could get to, which was Ron. “No!” Ron yelled angrily. But Nash was holding his beak this time, they flew to the top of the island, and landed on the edge. “What happened!” Jaxz said. “I don’t know I could only get Ron!” Nash said. The sound stopped and Ron snapped out of it. What.. what.. happened? He said.

Caesar and Ping were falling they were both eager, almost exited to fall into the water, until the sound stopped and they both screamed, Caesar pulled his flint out of his bag, which still around his waist, and went into the diving position, wile Ping just used a penguin like dive beak first, they hit the water pings natural ability and Caesar’s flint breaking the waters surface saved their lives but Caesar was knocked unconscious, Ping grabbed him, and dragged him towards a small rock above the water, then.. they both went under.

Hope you like cliffhangers! Just kidding who does..
