Marguerite and Roxton were on the lead, while the others followed close behind.
They got out of the Oasis about a day ago and entered the burning heat of the desert.
"Oh, I can't take it; it's so much hot that I feel like I'm going to melt at any second." Marguerite complained
"No, none of that, you can't melt away, the ground where you would melt it has no fault, there's no need to take out on it." Roxton teased
Marguerite snapped his shoulder.
"You're lucky that I'm tired and hot, if it wasn't for that you'd be sorry for those words by now." She teased back, but trying to look upset
He took her tiny hand on his and encircled his fingers on hers.
"I love you." He said
"Great, how can I be mad at you when say that?" she asked frustrated, then in a gentle tone "I love you too, "She said smiling.
Behind them Ned and Veronica grinned. They couldn't hear what they said but they saw them, holding hands.
"Those two."she said
"Yeah, I'm glad that they're finally getting along, quite frankly I was wondering if that would ever happen some day." Ned said
"I always knew," when she saw the look on Ned's face, she amended, "Well maybe not at first, but somehow along the way, I knew that they would come to this. They must have suffered so much...not being with one another.."
"We were separated as well, we suffered as well.." He started
"Ned, but it was different, our love is very different from theirs." Veronica said
"You know, sometimes I think that for what they have, the word love is weak to express, what they have is the purest love one could ever find. Even I, a journalist and a writer, can't describe it." He said with a smile, "But that's not much of a thing, I can't describe what I feel for you as well, but that doesn't stop me from loving you."
"I love you too, Ned, very much, I guess that I always have, but at first I was afraid, afraid that I was mistaken.."
"Veronica I want to ask you something."
"Yes?"
"Will.will you marry me? I mean, I want to spend all my life with you, have a few kids.."
"But.."
"No buts, just answer!"
"Yes!" Veronica shouted hugging him.
The others stopped on their tracks and looked towards the young couple.
"Care to share what's happening, with us Vee?"
The couple looked to their fellow companions. Ned putted his arm around Veronica's waist and announced:
"We're going to get married."
Shouts of joy were heard.
"Congratulations!" Challenger said as she hugged Veronica
"Well, you won't get married if we don't hurry up, so let's get going while I'm in the mood for a walk." Marguerite said after everyone congratulated the blond couple.
The others just grinned. ....................................
They set camp for the night.
"So when do you think your going actually get married?" Finn asked when they were all gathered around the fire.
"We have been talking about that, and after Veronica dethroned completely my idea of getting married right away, we decided to get married when this all situation is solved."
"It's a wise decision." Challenger agreed
"Yes, it is the best thing to do." Marguerite added
....................................
"Challenger? Still awake?" Marguerite asked to the scientist
"I could ask you the same question. I thought that you and Roxton were already sleeping by now."
"He is, but I can't." she said as she sited beside him, "Do you mind if I join you?"
"Not at all. I couldn't sleep either"
"Why not?"
"In these days all I can think about is Jessie.."
"Your wife?"
"Yes.." He smiled
"Do you miss her a lot?"
"A lot. I miss most of her presence and sympathy above all else." He manage to smile, "I know I wasn't much of a husband, but I really whish I could return back home, and try to make up all of these years with her."
Marguerite smiled.
"You will, one day, who knows?"
He smiled.
"What about you? Why couldn't you sleep?" he asked
"Bad dream, more like a nightmare than a dream actually."
"Really that bad uh?"
"Yeah."
"Have been sleeping well?"
"What do you mean?"
"You are looking very pale lately, and also tired." He answered´
"Well not exactly, I keep having this dream..it's nothing really..I think I'll go back and try to sleep." She excused. She didn't want to preoccupy Challenger with her dreams about Roxton's death.
....................................
"That's an Egyptian temple, it's abandoned for years. People left it when they were attacked by Chaoslon armies." Meldron explained
"Is there any creature inside?" Challenger asked
"No, but there are several booby traps, be careful." he said
"Egyptian temple, you said? Great!" Marguerite said with excitement thinking about the possible treasures inside.
Roxton looked at her puzzled.
....................................
Marguerite repeated the same action as in the other temples and a female figure was visible.
The image wore rich Egyptian clothes and different kind of jewels in both wrists.
The Druid bowed.
"My Lady." He said
"You may stand up Meldron." She said, and turned to face the baffled explorers. "I'm one of the Avalon's Elders, Isiris."
She came near Veronica and touched her eyes. Veronica stirred and when she opened her eyes a light was still visible.
"You know now where to go next. Good luck." And with that it disappeared.
....................................
"I thought that the Elders were only Avalon people.." Marguerite commented with the Druid
"No, actuality each Elder is from a different tribe and culture, for main reasons, to try to be fair with everyone they judge and to try to be just with the faith of the Plateau." Meldron explained
"Well, they certainly weren't fair with me." Marguerite said with disgust on her voice
"Maybe yes, maybe not, but you'll never know now. So you should look into tomorrow, into your future and leave the past to yesterday. Wise words it was your mother who told them to Me." he said
"You knew my mother?"
"Yes, she was one of a kind; I was one of her closest friends, Gorlum was my brother, she had an extraordinary ability to get what she always wanted, with usually happened, and the main reason for her to put us in trouble was her extreme curiosity!" he said with a sad and distant look.
Marguerite was nearly tears.
"Let's get going!" she said as she moved to where Veronica was.
She hated to show people her emotions, especially those ones she considerate weak, the only person that saw those feelings inside her was Roxton.
....................................
"Vee, are you sure that this is the right way?" asked Finn as they passed trough a pile of skeletons.
"Yes, let's just keep on going."
They reached a larger room filled with treasures.
"Look at this. Gold, jewels...This is paradise!" Marguerite exclaimed
The others looked to her.
"Marguerite we better get going." Roxton said
"Wait just second, "She was heading towards an altar where a huge sparkling diamond stood.
"Come on Marguerite, why do always have to be like?" he asked exasperated
"Marguerite there could be booby traps..let's leave." Challenger warned
"Will you just stop? It's just a diamond! No harm ever came from bringing a diamond." Marguerite said, but as she touched the precious gem, spears came from everywhere.
"Get down!!" Roxton shouted
Marguerite who was with her back turned over to the explorers didn't noticed anything, and Challenger who realized this, ran to pull her down.
"Marguerite!" Roxton shouted again.
When Challenger got near her he noticed a spear coming on her direction, and instinctively pulled Marguerite down but got injured on his leg, and winced in pain.
Everything was over, and soon all the explorers were around Challenger.
Marguerite had distanced herself from the group, regret coming over her.
Roxton stood up and went to meet her.
"This is your entire fault!!" he shouted
"What?!" she shouted as well
"Challenger is injured because of your greed!!" he shouted again
"Roxton I am not in the mood for this." She stated angrily
"For what for hearing the truth?"
She started baking away and he was following close behind.
The others were observing everything open-mouthed. They had never seen Roxton and Marguerite like that.
"Guys..." Finn started when they were going to start arguing again, but stopped when she saw her friends walking and suddenly falling.
"Roxton! Marguerite!" Veronica cried out.
"What happened?" Finn asked
"Booby trap, I know where they are." Ned explained
"Another vision?"
"Yes."
Veronica looked uncertain to Challenger.
"Go on with Ned, I'll stay here with Challenger." Finn said
"Don't stay on my count, I'll be fine in Mr. Meldron's hands." Challenger manage to say
"Alright then let's go."
....................................
They had been falling for over two minutes until they reached the ground, Marguerite landing on top of Roxton.
She backed away from him; she knew that if she stayed where she was they'd start arguing again.
"Are you alright?" she asked
"Do you I look alright to you?" he asked angrily rubbing is back and his left foot that was hurting like hell.
"There's no need to be rude Roxton, I was only making a question."
"Right, just like when you were only taken a diamond that could have killed Challenger!" he shouted
"Roxton it was an accident, it was Challenger who putted himself in front of me."
"Yeah right, Marguerite I'm tired of your constants excuses, this time your greed has gone too far. Yes! Think of the word...Greed, now there's a good word to describe you, Marguerite the greed in person!" he said mockingly
"Stop it Roxton!"
"You know sometimes I even ask myself why I put up with you, you're infuriating."
"Just stop it!" she shouted, and went to a dark corner of the small room where they were standing.
She sat there and felt tears making their way. Why did she actually believe that Roxton would be different from everyone else? He was just like any other man; once they get their trophy they changed their attitude completely.
Roxton realized that he said things that he did not meant so he went over to where she was sitting and kneeled down right in front of her, ignoring the pain that came from his back.
"Marguerite?" he said, but she just turned away from his gaze." Please I'm sorry; I didn't mean to say that.."
She still didn't answer.
"Marguerite, look at me, "He pleaded grabbing her chin, making her look to him, "I'm sorry." He stated
"Leave me alone." She shouted, "Aren't you afraid that Greed in person may actually.."
He shut her up with a passionate kiss that she so eagerly returned.
"I'm still angry at you!" she said
"So am I, but that doesn't mean that we have to stay like this, I hate to hurt you. I love you Marguerite." He said leaning to another kiss
"I love too." She said when they broke apart.
"Hm...How much do you love me?" he asked quoting her question from the other day.
She smiled brightly.
"This much," she quoted as well as she leaned for another kiss, but as they lips met briefly they heard Ned's voice.
"Roxton? Marguerite?" he shouted
"Why, oh why, does this always happen?" Roxton said under his breath. Marguerite giggled. "Over here Ned." He said as he helped Marguerite to stand up.
....................................
Soon the explorers were back in the jungle. They had been walking for days, slowed down by Challenger's injured leg, of course he was recovering rather quickly but still his leg give him pain, and they had to stop more frequently than the expected.
"We can rest back at the treehouse." Ned suggested
"Yeah that would be a good idea; we can all use a good night's sleep." Roxton said.
"Unfortunately old boy, our stock is very low, we need to get food, medicinal herbs, and I was hoping that now in the jungle.." Challenger started
"We'll see that once we get to the treehouse."
....................................
"Finally, we're here." Marguerite said as they entered the treehouse. It was almost noon.
"Yeah, I missed this place so much." Veronica exclaimed.
....................................
"It's settle then, Roxton and Marguerite stay at the treehouse gathering supplies, while Challenger, Finn, Mr. Meldron, Veronica and me are going to get the medicine plants. We leave in an hour."
....................................
"I still don't think we should let Challenger go, he is injured on his leg." Marguerite said as she and Roxton watched the others go.
"Marguerite, has you may well remember, Challenger's point is right: is the one who knows all the plants he wanna get and that way this will all go faster, besides you heard them, they'll be here by tomorrow's noon."
....................................
"You know, I even missed those guys. "Said Finn after they escaped a group of hungry raptors.
They set camp early that day; Challenger said that they had already collected more than half of what they needed so they decided to leave the rest for tomorrow.
"Ned? How do you think that Roxton and Marguerite are doing?"
....................................
He had to put up with her tease all the way back at the treehouse. She had killed two raptors and even managed to get a boar. As for him, he missed all his targets.
"Marguerite can't you stop with that?" he asked as they entered the treehouse
"No, I want to record this moment forever, I beat you." She said and laughed again
Roxton deposited the meat on the table and went over to Marguerite.
"You didn't beat me, I missed all of my targets purposely." He said
"Did someone ever told you that you're a very bad liar?"
"No, only you"
She laughed.
"I'm going to bed. Goodnight Roxton." She said giving him a kiss.
She entered her room and putted her nightgown, when she looked back she saw Roxton.
"Roxton!" she almost shouted, "What are you doing here?!" she asked as she saw him approaching her.
"I'm here for this." He answered as he kissed her passionately.
She responded with as much passion she got and slowly he lead her to her bed.
....................................
She woke up with the feeling of strong arms encircling her. At first she had to think of where she was, but soon remembered that she was at the treehouse and she had had the most wonderful night of her entire existence. She opened her eyes and saw Roxton looking at her.
"Good morning, "she said
"Good morning." He said kissing her." Time to get up."
"So soon?" she said leaning into his embrace more tightly.
"Yes, we have to prepare everything remember? The others must arrive at noon." He said kissing her neck and shoulder
"But I don't want to get up."
"Neither do I, I could stay here all day, kissing you, watching you sleep...but we have to go"
"I guess you're right."
....................................
The others arrived at noon as they promised and soon they left the treehouse again.
....................................
"So, Veronica, what's our next stop?" Roxton inquired
"The Spirinn Temple, it's in the jungle, no more than a few days, maybe three in the max."
"Oh," Marguerite moaned
"Oh, come on Marguerite it's not that bad."
"For you it isn't.but for me..I hate this jungle, mosquitoes everyone, not to mention raptors, T-Rex, head-hunters." and she continued enlisting all the dangers that she hated most on the Plateau's jungle.

Marguerite and Roxton were on the lead, while the others followed close behind.
They got out of the Oasis about a day ago and entered the burning heat of the desert.
"Oh, I can't take it; it's so much hot that I feel like I'm going to melt at any second." Marguerite complained

"I'm here for this." He answered as he kissed her passionately.
She responded with as much passion she got and slowly he lead her to her bed.

She woke up with the feeling of strong arms encircling her. At first she had to think of where she was, but soon remembered that she was at the treehouse and she had had the most wonderful night of her entire existence. She opened her eyes and saw Roxton looking at her.
"Good morning, "she said
"Good morning." He said kissing her." Time to get up."
"So soon?" she said leaning into his embrace more tightly.
"Yes, we have to prepare everything remember? The others must arrive at noon." He said kissing her neck and shoulder
"But I don't want to get up."
"Neither do I, I could stay here all day, kissing you, watching you sleep...but we have to go"
"I guess you're right."
....................................
The others arrived at noon as they promised and soon they left the treehouse again.

"So, Veronica, what's our next stop?" Roxton inquired
"The Spirinn Temple, it's in the jungle, no more than a few days, maybe three in the max."
"Oh," Marguerite moaned
"Oh, come on Marguerite it's not that bad."
"For you it isn't.but for me..I hate this jungle, mosquitoes everyone, not to mention raptors, T-Rex, head-hunters." and she continued enlisting all the dangers that she hated most on the Plateau's jungle.
