I don't own Deltora Quest, BUT I do own Jeeordina and her crew and
anything else that isn't in the previous book that I cant be bothered
mentioning.
Chapter 8- Yetrin
Jasmine's eyes begun to grow heavy as the boat glided on through the calm waters. She decided she would rest, but not sleep, for there could be danger ahead. But in minutes she was sound asleep, knowing nothing about the adventure ahead.
Leif's head drooped as he too fought off the urge to sleep. Filli had dozed off hours ago and even Kree was beginning to fall as he became more tired. In an hour Leif watched as Kree settled down in the boat, tucked his head under his wing and fell asleep. Leif's whole body was telling him to shut his eyes and sleep, but he knew it would be dangerous. Who knew what kind peril lay ahead. But Leif's will to stay awake was no match for his need to sleep. In moments he was dreaming in peaceful slumber, unaware of happenings around him.
Jasmine awoke with a start as the boat pulled to an abrupt halt. She longed to see what was happening, but the cloth that bound her head trapped her senses. Suddenly the fabric was lifted off and Jasmine blinked in the glaring light. Jeeordina's covered face was in front of Jasmine's head, blocking her view. Jasmine stared into the leader's eyes; she had never seen them before, as she had never been close enough. They were the shape of an almond; large and defined. They were black with sparkles of silvery light every now and then. Jeeordina then stepped away from Jasmine to reveal land. There was pure white sand for at least 100 miles, until it blended into a jungle of every shade of green. There were palm trees, leafy vines and giant stalks of bamboo. Jasmine gasped in amazement as she saw bright green grass as tall as herself, some bits nearly touching the leaves of the trees. Jeeordina smiled at Jasmine's astounded face, "Welcome, to Yetrin." Jasmine stammered as she took everything in. she gazed to the left and then the right and saw that the land stretched as far as she could see. All this time she had thought it was an island, but it was really a land, equal to the size of Deltora, perhaps larger. Suddenly she felt her arms being pulled sharply behind her and heard Jeeordina order, "Bind her tightly! She must not escape!" Jasmine began to struggle but the hands that held her were like a bear's. There was no way she could fight the vice like grip. She glared at Jeeordina as she felt strong vines being wrapped around her wrists. Jasmine swung around as she heard a scraping sound coming from the boat. The smaller figures, Gumara and Aidar, were heaving something from the side of the boat. As it broke the surface of the water, Jasmine watched in curiosity. They threw it onto the sand with a great heave and the water slowly trickled down it smooth edges. Aidar began to fold out the sides that were compacted together. As it began to take shape, Jasmine saw it was a bit taller than her and it was made out of thick pieces of bamboo. Aidar fastened the last side to another with a vine and then Jasmine gasped as she saw it for what it was. A cage. Even before Jeeordina spoke, Jasmine knew the cage was for her. Zumba threw her inside and slammed the door shut. Jasmine shook the bars as he fastened the door with thick vines. She watched as Aidar and Gumara secured long poles on the bottom of the cage, then held the poles in their arms and lifted Jasmine's prison off the ground. Jasmine sadly watched as the creatures carried her towards the jungle, as their leader shouted "TO THE CENTER!" and Zumba placed a small object close to the boat and ran after them.
Hey guys, ummmm, in the next chapter, my computer was stuffing up, so a riddle is missing. This is the riddle. You are doing well, but you must persist. Jasmine is waiting to be set free. Do not delay, my patience is wearing thin. If you are not here soon, jasmine's life will end. Hurry you must, but be wary as well. For in the waters ahead there is..
