Chapter 3
The girls gasped and then regained their wits and answered nicely and politely back to Paco. Then Ralibar told them to leave so they could start on their quest. As they left Ralibar came to give the girls the helpers and potions and spells she promised.
"Here are your things, and I have also reduced them so they are very small so you can easily use them and store them" She explained in detail.
The girls stored them safely in the cloud car, then called Paco and they set out on their quest. The cloud car's motor whirred as they drove across the land in between Oceania and Black point. This area was called Thunder rain. Paco and the girls got closer and closer to Black Point and as they got closer the sky's darkened.
"We'd better fully put the invisibility cloak on the cloud car" Selena suggested as she pushed a circular red button.
"Bwang" they heard as they closer to the black countryside.
"What in the world is that sound?" asked a quizzical Paco.
"I do not know," answered the girls in unison.
The sound continued as they got nearer to the magnificently horrible caste of Tarnis and Cruelia. Selena steered the cloud car over into the back forest and shut off the motor. When they landed the girls and dog jumped off the car and stashed it deep into the bushes where no one could find it. They crept along the path and hid behind gigantic trees if they saw or heard any creature of person coming near them.
They were finally only a short distance from the castle of Black. They were at the edge of the forest and as they crept along the shadows of the trees, they heard a chanting.
"Tunga-Tunga, Tunga-Tunga" was what they heard. They looked to the castle and saw thousands upon thousands of Manga-guards lining up in rows. Their armor was even more powerful looking then it ever was before and they had countless weapons stashed along their armor.
"Attention" yelled an unseen voice. Lelani and Selena jumped at the voice.
They watched the Manga-Guards for what seemed like an eternity and made sure that the coast was clear before going on again. They started to stagger up the side of the mountain to the castle of night.
"STOP RIGHT THERE" boomed a voice. Someone or something had caught them.
"TURN AROUND NOW," yelled the voice again.
Slowly the three persons turned around. Lelani shut her eyes and she turned. Then she opened her eyes again.
"Oh my goodness" she gasped out in alarm,
What she saw was SO frightening. The creature's legs were long and spindly and they looked like those of daddy long legs. Their body's were lizardy and appeared to be slimy and disgusting. But their faces were the supreme worst. Their eyes were hollow but their faces were all bone with a stain of a violet paint cascading from their eyes as they took each breath from their grotesque mouths.
"Please don't hurt us" screamed Lelani, "we are doing no harm.
"DON'T WORRY I WON'T HURT YOU" cackled the monster," BUT THE MASTERS OF BLACKPOINT MIGHT"
