Journey chapter 4 part two

Forest decided to tell everyone what the surprise was about and why he wanted to do it here. “You're probably wondering why we are here.” Forest said as he pulled his pack off his shoulders.

“Does it have anything to do with food?” Spark said showing her point to move forward with this surprise.

“Well, it has to do with this.” Forest said as he pulled out the rune.

“You’re not going to do anything stupid with that, are you?” Nyx asked, genuinely concerned.

“No, I just want to bury it and make a memorial here for the tool that helped save Fjordur. What did you think I going to do with it Nyx?”.

“Oh, Nothing just didn’t want you to make a decision you’ll regret.” Nyx said still sounding concerned about the fact.

“Anyway, I wanted you all to come here as all of the Five to come and be here for this momentous occasion. For as we put this rune in the ground, it signifies that we will hopefully never have to use it again.” Forest said as though he had been lifting a large weight off of everyone’s shoulders.

“Well for a good riddance speech, that one was pretty bad. Now can we please get to digging? I’d like to get as far away from Rust as possible and get to the terror bird kingdom before dusk sets in.” Crimson said getting agitated by the sight of Rust.

“I am starting to dig right now, would you like to help Crimson?” Forest said as he started to claw at the earth, “I’d be glad to help For-”

“I have a better idea.” Rust said as he quickly darted and grabbed the rune “Why don’t we just smash it on top of this thing in the middle of the platform?!”.

“I think we just got into stupid territory here” Spark said looking at Nyx. “That’s a terminal Rust and I think you should put the rune down gently on the ground!!” Nyx said trying to de-escalate the situation.

“Rust drop it or I’m gonna grab you and throw you into the lake with piranhas!!!” Crimson yelled angrily, “Rust, just throw it back to me and quit fooling around with it, I am almost done with the hole to put it in.” Forest said.

“Who’s fooling around!!! Let’s get rid of this thing once and for all!!!!” Rust said holding the rune over the main terminal, the rune glowing brighter than it had in a long time and was humming with volume.

Forest was beginning to have enough of this, “Rust!!! Hand it Here!!! That is a really bad idea!!!” Forest Yelled. “Fine, you all can’t take a joke.”

Everyone except Rust sighed in relief for a second, “That was the craziest thing you’ve ever pulled Rust, just hand it to Forest, and let’s be done with that idea.” Crimson said.

Rust began to smirk and looked at Crimson in a way that made everyone concerned. “Rust, hand it to me please” Forest asked. “Who’s joking??” Rust said humorously and jumped up and threw the rune toward the terminal.

“Rust, YOU DODO BRAIN!!!!!!!!!” yelled Crimson “NOOO!!!!!!!!!” Yelled Nyx.

She bolted for the rune which was glowing even brighter and humming even louder than it had only a few seconds before, and Nyx reached for it and touched it as it hit the terminal. Forest couldn’t see anything after that except bright white light and a mixture of rainbow light.
