Chapter 4

The air was moving fast around Max and Monica as they were up on the train. Max's hat flew off from the force of the wind but Max quickly grabbed it and tucked it in his pouch as quick as he can while staying close to the door that led into the train. He and Monica had to be careful walking up on top of the train for if they fell off it would be fateful.

Meanwhile, Monica slowly walked over to where the bombs were that were 2 feet away from where Max was was. When Monica was close enough to the bombs were she just had to bend down and she could touch them, she looked around for the weird creature.

"Where is it?" asked Monica as she looked behind at Max who was slowly approaching her. Suddenly, they heard a huge roar coming near and then in front of them were the large scaly lizard monster they had looked for before.

With it so close, they had a better view of it. It had large eyes with where white is for humans, there is black and for our normal colors it had a green eye that seemed glowing at the edges with no black pupil at all. The scales on it were more visible. They also noticed its claws had big silver nails. They looked at the big transparent like water wings it had.

Then, it opened its mouth and what they saw a slimy fire glowing tongue. The two teenagers looked at this with eyes wide open. Monica spoke first.

"Ew, ew, and ew," said Monica as she pointed at it. She quickly bend down grabbed the bombs but when she got up she saw the monster staring at her very close with its tongue 2 inches away from her. "AHHHH!" she screamed as she turned around and fell down on the train holding the bombs out for Max who grabbed them.

"Monica, calm down," said Max. Monica nodded, and got up and stood next to him. "For a monster, it sure is not attacking us and… why didn't tell me the monster was close to me!"

"I thought you knew," Max replied.

"Whatever," Monica said. Suddenly, the monster opened its mouth wide and a fire ball was forming at its throat.

Max quickly got an idea. He turned around and opened the door, while shouting as loud as he can.

"STOP THE TRAIN!"

He then turned around, and threw the bombs into the monster's throat. Monica and Max then went inside the train, and closed the train doors as they fell down. The monster then fell off the train and just as it was about use its wings to fly, it exploded and loudly leaving blood on the train and on the trees and plants of the forest.

Meanwhile, Monica and Max slowly got up.

"Damn," was the only thing Monica could say.

"Damn indeed, that was very close," said Max.

"Well, that monster needs a name. What should we call it?" asked Monica.

"I dunno…"

"Max, you're an inventor, think of something."

"Why don't you think of something?"

"I saved yours and my butt, you think of the name."

"Fine then, it shall be called Lizard of Fire and Weird, or LFW. Maybe lofaw," Monica said while looking at space.

"Find, lofaw it shall be until I suddenly get more creative because right now, I want a hug," said Max. Monica then hugged Max, and quickly let go and went down on the ladder.

"Yay," Max sarcastically said. He then went down the ladder as well.

Cedric then started the train, and looked at Max.

"Geez, did you have to do that to stop the monster or now the so called lofaw?" asked Cedric. "I nearly got an injury stopping the train."

"Oh, sorry," said Max. "But it was about to fire a fire ball at us, and I had bombs in my hand so I had to do something or be burnt to crisp."

Cedric sighed. "Well…. I guess I can forgive you."

Toan was on top of his bed; with the book he found earlier on his pillow. Xiao was curled up beside him. He was reading the book, with a weird feeling inside of him. His hat and his shoes were off as he was on his bed comfortably.

This book told of his adventure of rebuilding this part of the world and stopping the Dark Genie. There was Seda, the General, the Fairy King, and everyone he had met in his journey. They were there too. Just who was this person who wrote this book, and how did that person know nearly everything about his journey?

Toan placed the book aside, and rested his head on the pillow. He tried to think of who could of written this, and so fast. 'Was it the Fairy King? The Fairy King did keep an eye on him a lot. Yes, it probably was, and as a fairy king he probably could have made that book so easily and fast. He probably made it so everyone could know of what a great guy I am rebuilding the world everyone forgot about. Except me, although from it I got Xiao, perhaps she and I are the only ones that remember.'

"Toan, dinner's ready," said his mother, Renee, who interrupted Toan's pondering. Toan quickly put the book under his bed, and walked downstairs as Xiao followed him.

"She's a cute cat. What's her name?" asked Renee.

"Xiao," Toan said. He realized it was the first time he talked in a while, especially to his mom. The small cat walked around in circles around Toan, and then to Renee.

"Aww… it was thoughtful for you to bring something so cute in this household. It's been a while there's been something little in this house for me to take care of," said Renee as she admired the cat.

Toan looked on the floor silently, he thought about his father who he had guessed was at Muska Racka a while ago. His name was Aga, Toan believed.

"Mom, where did dad go?" asked Toan.

"He went to this place, he didn't tell me where but far from here," said Renee.

"Are you sure? And was his name Aga?" asked Toan. "My memory is getting foggy."

'What a lie,' Toan thought.

"Yes, his name was Aga, or so the people of Norune and many places else were called him. Toan, let's not talk about it. I miss him," said Renee.

"I miss him too," said Toan.

"Well… let's eat dinner," said Renee.

Max looked out the window as he sat on the train. It was raining and he could hear a thunderstorm.

'I can't believe all that's happened. Before I used to be some kid that worked in Cedric's shop, always questioning my father where my mother is. But now I met Monica, found my mother, restored the future, defeat Emperor Griffin or Dark Element; whatever his name was, saved the world, and I finally got Flotsom away from me along with some other dude, and got some Zelmite. I finally got things I've been wishing for, and now my life feels complete. Now there's new things that await me now, and I know I'll get them," Max thought with a smile.

"Max! I have good news," said Monica as she went up to him, and sat next to him.

"What is it?" asked Max.

"I found my panther suit! Woohoo! After all that hard work," said Monica.

"Oh… yay," said Max. Monica gave small mean look on her face, and went off.

"It's not my fault you look sexy with it on," muttered Max. 'Then again, it probably might become useful one day.'
