Discovery
Please don't forget to reveiw I've only got 3 reveiws so far.
It was a nice sunny day in Rio, and everyone was packing up and cleaning after the Carnival. Blu was nestled it the Blu Bird Sanctuary, and after such an eventful night, he was too tired to get up even though Rafael was shouting in his ear.
"Wake up you lazy bird!" he shouted as Blu drifted in and out of sleep. "Jewel will be waiting for you at the bird nursery!"
At the mention of Jewel's name, Blu sprang to his feet and said:
"Oh Jewel, I miss you sooooooo much. I never want to be apart from you again."
With that he flew out the window into the morning sunshine, with nothing but Jewel on his mind.
"Wait up!" cried Rafael and he too flew out of the window. He caught up to Blu and together they flew to the bird nursery where Jewel was waiting.
Tulio was inspecting Jewel's wing with a look of satisfaction on his face. Miraculously it had healed in the past few days, and Blu was so happy that Jewel was ok.
"Now that everyone is safe and happy again," said Tulio, "We should go and do our part in the cleaning up after Carnival!"
Blu and Jewel exchanged warm smiles and flew off to explore the jungles of Rio and marvel at the many mountains and monuments it had to offer. Meanwhile, Linda stayed behind with Tulio to help in the cleaning up and Rafael went back to the other birds to help them clean up as well. Blu and Jewel just needed some time alone, since they hadn't got the time to explore Rio before.
Blu still hadn't gotten used to the wind in his feathers and the great joy and freeness of flying. He had only been flying for few days now.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Jewel exclaimed as she looked down at the vast rainforests that surrounded Rio, and the mountains that stood tall and proud in the morning light.
"Not as beautiful as you," Blu replied. Jewel blushed and they flew down to a particular mountain which looked like its peak had been chopped off, and a flat surface remained. It wasn't exactly flat. The middle part looked like there were boulders in it, and was uneven a bit. The two macaws flew down and perched on the highest rock, which was in the centre of the top of the mountain.
"What a good view!" Jewel said as she marvelled at their surroundings in the jungle below.
"I know," said Blu. He pointed to a little house in the middle of Rio, which was hardly visible from their high vantage point. It was only visible because the mountain was so close to the city of Rio, probably the closest. "That's where Linda is now, leaving for the town square," he said.
Just then, there was a loud BUMP, then a CRACK, and everything went quiet. It felt like the world had stopped spinning. Then an eerie hiss broke the silence, and Blu stared as a sort of steam/smoke rose out from behind Jewel.
"Jewel!" shouted Blu over the ever increasing noise. She turned around and screamed, as the rock they were on started to sink. They both took off at the same time, and looked around them. Steam was rising up out of the rocks, and the rock they were on seconds before started to mesh into a sort of liquid. ALL the rocks started to mesh into this liquid, which Blu realised was red and hot. He had read about it in books. It was lava.
That mountain was actually a volcano.
Yes, I know, the chapters of this story are short
