Ceylan woke up as he made impact with the ground. Lucky for him it was in a bushel of bright flowers, so it didn't hurt… that much. "Oww….." he groaned as he got up and observed his surroundings. He was in a forest, okay….., with a bright bed of flowers covering many spots on the ground, one of which was the one Ceylan used to break (most) of his fall.
"I think…..I broke….. MY EVERYTHING." Toxsa moaned as he steadied on his feet. He helped Chooki get up as well, who was lying in a bright blue flower patch next to Toxsa, who did not have a flower patch to land on. Ouch.
"About time you woke up." Called a voice from above. They turned to see Beni and Beag sitting on a tree not too far away.
"Morning Princess." Said Ceylan in a sarcastic manner, "How was your fall?" Beni just turned an angry red and looked away. That made Ceylan chuckle a bit. Beag just looked confused. I guess robots wouldn't know how to understand human emotion, he thought with another chuckle,Okay headcount. Toxsa inspecting banana tree, check. Chooki climbing the tree, check. Beni being a brat check. Beag looking confused by human action, check. And Guren is…
Ceylan looked around for his friend. Nowhere to be found. "Hey have you guys seen Guren?" Ceylan spoke in a nervous tone. The others looked around the small clearing for their red-headed friend. Nowhere to be found. "Guren! Where are you?" he called. The others called too, but there was no response.
"Well if we can't find him we will just go on without him." Beni said with a shrug of her shoulders. Ceylan was about to talk back when there was a puff of smoke on the ground in front of them. Normal Orangor emerged from it.
"Hello little knights," he said in a mischievous voice. "I hear you are looking for your brave little friend Guren huh?"
"Where did you take him!" snarled Toxsa from behind Orangor. Orangor faced him. "I mayyyyyyyyyy know where he is, buuuuuuuuuuuut…. If you advance in the challenge a bit, maybe I will tell you." He giggled. Toxsa and Ceylan were about to maul the little monkey. "The new challenge is…." He paused.
"WHAT IS IT!" yelled Ceylan and Toxsa together.
"The new challenge is to find four stones. One that represents a luminous light, one that can warm even the coldest heart. The second one that resembles a crack in the sky that is followed by a rumble that shakes the ground. A third one that resembles what is seen as a mystical crystal of the air, and a final stone that resembles what can be as tiny as a rock, but as large as a sky." Orangor paused to take in the knights reactions to his challenge.
Ceylan and Toxsa looked like they were ready to pull his head off; Beni just looked up into the sky, deep in thought. Chooki was doing the same but he was sharing a glance with Beag, who just looked…. Confused. Before they got a chance to reply, Orangor ran off into the forest shouting, "Smell ya later knights!"
Then Ceylan and Toxsa lost it.
Guren had landed in a dark blue lake. He had seen it before he had made impact with it. He had sunk a bit and could only see the faint light of the sky blurred by the water. Guren struggled to swim upwards. He could not move properly, it felt like he had been completely rearranged. He could see the light a bit more clearly now as he reached the surface. He finally reached the surface, and he took a long breath to recover what he had used up underwater. He saw the shore like edge to the lake and threw himself onto the sandy ground. He had to sit for a bit so he could rest from swimming. He looked up to the sky. It was about sundown, and there were quite an amount of clouds in the orange sky, and they were grey, likely to rain later. He then saw five streaks of light across the sky. One was a bright blue, and it sort of looked like it was falling in a zigzag pattern. The second one was a brilliant yellow, and it was falling like it was a torpedo, it was spinning in a similar movement. The third as neon green and was moving up and down steadily, like a bird deciding whether to land or not. The other two were a bright pink, and a bright grey. Guren watched as the streaks fell into the forest not too far away. Those must be the others! He thought. I must have strayed off! He began to stand so he could see what they were when he lost his balance. What? He thought as he tried again, he once again fell. He thought that maybe he had injured his leg during the fall, but he felt no pain. He looked at his leg when he noticed. Oh…. Then he screamed.
