Chapter 4: The Gateway to the Jusenkyo Ponds


"Temple of the Drowned Souls?" Harry asked quietly.

"Yes. It is called like this because of the souls that drowned in the Jusenkyo Ponds. We did this temple so the souls could rest in peace" Mr. Tofu sighed deeply and wretchedly.

"Oh" Harry looked back at the huge temple. 'So this is the temple of the people who drowned in those ponds'

'This is also the gateway to the Jusenkyo Ponds too. But nobody can enter unless they say the keywords to open the doors that guard the ponds" Mr. Tofu looked at Harry with apprehensive eyes.

Mr. Tofu grabbed Harry's arm again and they walked towards the temple. The temple inside was decorated with portraits of witches and wizards looking down at Mr. Tofu and Harry. The room was colored black with white. It was an awkward room. There was another door at the end.

Again Mr. Tofu tapped the door with his wand and murmured a word "Daisuke Hiroshi"

The door opened again and they were both in a room too. This room was peculiar too. The room was decorated with colors like blue, white, and black. Unlike the other room this was decorated with mirrors and crystals and drawings of the stars, planets and moons. The room was cold and made Harry shiver. The room was huge. 'This temple is bigger than I thought' Harry thought.

There was another door at the end of the room. Mr. Tofu tapped the door five times and murmured "Hiroshi Daisuke"

The door opened and instead of a room there were stair steps directing towards another door. This place instead of being cold it was getting hot. Once they reached the door Mr. Tofu closed his eyes, tapped the door six times and murmured "Saginomiya Azukash"

Harry gasped. Of all the rooms Harry had been this was the biggest one of all. It was even bigger than the Big Hall at Hogwarts. The room was decorated with goblets of fire, statues of gold and an image of a fire tornado. The place was incredibly hot and Harry couldn't stand the heat. The more they walked the more exhausted Harry would get. Before they even reached the door, Harry fell to the hot floor in a dead faint.

"Mr. Potter!!!!!" Mr. Tofu shrieked. He ran towards Harry and bent down. Harry looked up at him with tired eyes.

"I am OK, Mr. Tofu" Harry replied jadedly.

"Let's go back Mr. Potter. This isn't doing any good to you" He looked at Harry with concerned eyes.

"NO, NO!! Let's keep on going. I can stand the heat. I really want to see the Jusenkyo Ponds" Harry cried.

"Are you sure Mr. Potter?" Mr. Tofu looked at him more apprehensively.

"Positive"

With that Mr. Tofu helped Harry get up and grabbed his arm again. They walked towards the door and Mr. Tofu tapped the door four times and murmured "Kinnosuke Kashaoh". The door opened and they both went inside.

After entering inside more than thirty secret doorways they finally stopped in front of a huge door bigger than the other doors. The door was gold and silver.

"This is it Mr. Potter. The door to the Jusenkyo Ponds. Are you sure you're ready, Mr. Potter. We could go bac-"

"No. I am ready lets go inside' Harry replied nervous and excited.

"Ok. Stand back Mr. Potter"

Mr. Tofu stepped forward and tapped the door ten times. This time he murmured a long word "Shussemaru Tsuruyasennen Shinnosuke Gonsukuyi Jusenkyo!"

The door opened and inside Harry saw hundreds of ponds. Harry gasped.

"Welcome Mr. Potter to the Jusenkyo Ponds" Mr. Tofu said proudly.

To BE Continued.
