SpeaK chapter 5
the six of them left.
They left, they left for the stable in silence. They hopped onto the horses and galloped across the wide open land. Then, something unbelievable happened. The horses jumped onto the sky and unfurled their wings. In the matter of minutes, they were all high above the clouds. It seems like the horses aren't horses at all. They are Pegasus. The most beautiful creature between the horses. They have a pair of wings, that can carry themselves across the the world. And sometimes into another world.
The children's Pegasus are of variety of colors. Rin and Meiko have a pitch black Pegasus whose coat shone under the sun, and can merge itself with the black night sky, making them invisible. Len and Teto chose a pure white Pegasus, whose coat shine like silver. Miku and Neru got the most beautiful brown a Pegasus can have. Softest of the softest coats, strong and beautiful wings, these are the the characteristics that a Pegasus own. If only the mist didn't cover these beautiful creature, they will get attention from every pair of eyes in this world.
They went over buildings. They went over skyscrapers. They went over the city, and finally landed on a beach known to no one. They cooked lunch, and ate, a heavy atmosphere hung in the silence. Everyone of them tried to lift the atmosphere up, but failed miserably. Only the sound of the waves can be heard. Will I get back? Will I be better than my predecessors? Will we pass? I will be the best. I wont fail. We will get through this together. As long as we have each other. Those are the thoughts and questions swirling inside their young minds.
Soon they are back on air, and over the shimmering deep blue sea.

they went inside a thick fog. But it isn't any normal fog, it is the mist, the protective layer of magic that was cast by the gods, and effects the brains of human minds, making them not see what is happening. In the following few minutes, they cant see anything. Soon they emerged, and a small island can be seen. A small floating paradise. But the kids knew better. That island is the island where blood children are tested, and if they pass, they will be able to go on life threatening quests. Few set foot on this island and leaves. An island filled with lush green trees, hundreds of crystal clear waterfalls, soft white sanded beach, high mountains, fruits of every kind. That is what you see on day time. What you don't see, is the monsters and creatures lurking in the night.
My children, Zeus spoke in their minds, this is the Kankura island. An island made just to test the skills and wits of young blood children. An island where every and all blood children must go before they receive their quests. Blood children come here at the age of 18. I know that you all are just 14, but since you have encountered a hydra, I must insist on all of you doing it earlier. You all are much aware that little come here and got out, right. But once they do, they become the talk of legends. Your first test, is to find a waterfall that is still clean and pure for your own in those mountains. The waterfalls that aren't inhibited by creatures. The waterfalls that aren't tainted by the blood of your predecessors. I wish all of you the best of luck.
With that, the children land on the soft white sand and parted ways. They left their Pegasus on the beach, knowing that they will not be harmed. They set on foot, on their own different ways to find a clean waterfall. They walked, and by nightfall each of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. Meiko arrived first. She took some fallen branches and dried leaves to make a fire. I wonder where the others are. She thought. Then she laid back on a tree trunk and fell asleep. As soon as she fell asleep glowing eyes stared at her. Leaves rustled and Meiko opened her eyes. " whose there!" she shouted. " come out! Face me!" she summoned her sword just in time when a creature leaped onto her with its sharp claws. She slashed and the creature fell to the ground in the instant. Meiko looked carefully at the creature. It has the body of a woman in the upper part of the torso and the body of a bird for the lower torso. It has sharp claws instead of feet and a pair of wings instead of a pair of hands. Harpies! Meiko thought and another three harpy dashed at her way, determined to rip her in half. Meiko quickly slashed them away, and again more of them dashed at her with their sharp claws. They just keep on coming! Just how many they are? Meiko thought as she slash, stab, punch and kick. After over an hour of slashing and stabbing Meiko stood there, in the middle of a pile of dead harpies. Blood all over her, but luckily not hers. Kankura island is a really dangerous island. she thought.
