Chapter 2
I do not own any of the Deltora Series.
Kree flew away and Jasmine was doing her best to keep Lief alive while Kree was gone. In about 3 minutes Kree returned with the bottles. Jasmine took all the bottles opened one up and 5 drops fell in Lief's open mouth.
Jasmine sat beside Lief waiting for the nectar to kick in. Suddenly Lief's eyes snapped open and Jasmine was at his side right away. "Lief are you okay?" Jasmine asked. "Yeah I think so" was his answer. Jasmine was so relieved that she embraced him.
When she found out what she was doing she quickly pulled away. "Sorry" she said shyly. Lief just smirked and asked her "Would you like to accompany Barda and I on a journey to save all of Deltora" he asked.
She was dumbfounded 'So these are the people who traveled all around Deltora seeking the 6 pieces of The Belt Of Deltora and now they are here to seek the box that contains the 7 sacred jewels' Jasmine thought and she quickly nodded her head in agreement.
They headed back to Lief's camp and they settled down to a restless sleep. In the morning they started on their journey to the heart of the forest. Fog settled on the forest so they had to really close to each other or they could get lost.
They followed Jasmine because she knew the whole forest like the back of her hand. It seemed like hours since they started and they were growing weaker with every step especially Lief and Barda who needed blood to survive.
Finally they stopped after a few more hours of walking. They didn't bother set up camp. Lief and Barda were busy looking through there packs for the packets of blood that they had packed and Jasmine was already fast asleep.
A few hours later Jasmine awoke to the sound of snoring. 'It's only Barda' Jasmine thought. She couldn't go back to sleep so she decided to look through her own pack for something to drink or eat. Lief awoke but pretended to sleep.
He spied on Jasmine for awhile when he felt the belt grow hot. He didn't know what this meant so he took out his copy of the Deltora Book. He went through the pages when he saw it.
The Belt Grows Hot When Close To A Gem
'That means that the box is near' Lief thought excitedly. He woke up Barda and said to his companions. "The Box is Near" he said. They searched high and they searched low but no one found it. Giving up Lief sat down next to Jasmine's pack and the belt grew even hotter.
Lief felt like he was going to die. He quickly went through Jasmine's pack and found it. A Gold Dragon was on the top. He stared at it in amazement when Jasmine snatched it from him.
"Don't touch that. It was a gift from my father whose friend gave it to him. It's the only thing that reminds me of him" she explained. "But Jasmine. The gems are in there I'm sure of it" he replied stubbornly.
"I've never opened it before. I wonder" Jasmine said. She slowly opens the box and when she opened it there were all the gems in order. The Diamond then Emerald next Lapis Lazuli then the Topaz then the Opal, Ruby, and the Amethyst.
Lief put all the gems in order and white light engulfed the companions. In front of them they saw the heir to the throne. The next place was Del. "Del is where we'll find the heir. We'll start first thing tomorrow morning," Lief said.
