Here it is the sixth chapter
Day time (No Pov)
Morning had came and our group had left cal's log cabin we see a rock on a rushing river of water. The group walked on a path by the river with manus in front ahead leading the way"hey manus do ya think we can slow down a little bit", jasmine said. "He won't but we gotta be close we'll be there soon lief said when jasmine heard him. The trail lead to a waterfall and manus jumped right through it"well looks like we go through the waterfall"
Everyone jumped through the waterfall and manus arm jestered come on."You got it we're following you to ralidin" lief said they walked in the cave path with manus holding a lanturn. "It's a good thing we have manus with us we would never known this tunnel existed huh" lief said and they saw light at the end of the tunnel and manus jesters to it "this mus be it" lief said.
Ralidan village (day time)
They exited the tunnel and looked over a cliff and saw ralidain in the slight fog"so this is ralidan" lief had said. Everybody in the group walked down to ralidian saw all the well built village " it's a ghost town whatever has happened here it can't be good" lief said. Manus had ran around the village and couldn't find anyone so he sat on the fountain slouched down depression.
Lief had said manus name"I can't imagine what it must be like to know that all your prople have been taken to the Shadowlands to be slaves " barda said "maybe they fled somewhere first" lief said "the ralids would never left their village of their own accord from the very beginning this has always been their home look around the mark of the shadow lord is all around the villiage"barda said. "So hes claim this place too" lief said cal spoke "does the shadow Lord vileness nose, no bound".
Manus looked up and felt his hand touch something it was a flute "it's not fair the worst part is there's nothing we can do to help him" lief said "there's got to be something" jasmine said. Then they hear music playing it was manus playing a flute lief said his name "this is to much" barda said then they all began to hear more music coming somewhere else causing manis to stop playing.
"That sounds like its coming from underground" cal said manusgot of the fountain and a piece of the fountain lifted up to reveal a secret passage out came more ralid people. Manus was overjoyed and hugged the elder leif said ralids " im i dreming" jasmine said "no cause we are all seeing this" manus laughed because he found his people and they all went down the secret path with it closing behind them.
Underneath the ralidian villiage
We now see all ralids wearing different ralid clothing sitting, standing and talking with a fountain like the one on top but with running water.This whole underground location with its light on the ceiling showing lively living of ralids doing daily life stuff you'd find in a village.
Our group are all in a house by a coffee table with food and drinks on top and them siting on chouches."These people they're incredible to dig this huge secret underground cave and build an underground village I mean, it must've taken them years to build all this" lief said. "Like i said before I've always known the ralid people are hard working and exceptionally clever and i new they would never abandon ralidan but even I could never imagine them building sonething like this"barda said lief nodded. "yeah yeah it's all beautiful and stuff now get over here and eat something" jasmine said lief agreed with her "you all gotta eat if you wanna keep your strength" cal said.
"By this time tommorow we finally be on our way to the Lake of tears" jasmine said "i suggest we stay here and rest for another two or three days"barda said."Im sure manis would agree and tell you that your first priority is to heel that wound" lief said " i agree with lief on this" cal said "why do you have to be so bossy lief?" Jasmine said.
"But in the meantime"barda said and then we see lief and Barda sparing with two wooden sticks by the fountain with ralids watching them "don't always try to resist my attacks with strength alone remember that you have speed as well barda said to lief and continued sparring.
Jasmine is seen sitting in the window sil with kree and fili eating an apple"foolish boys they waste so much energy showing of" she said kree agreed with her in the next window sill manus was seen with his arms laying under his head watching them. "Hey not all of us show off anyway, jasmine if anyone needs me hatter and i will be inside baggey cal said and he jumped into baggey as she shined on the opening he was off to do some weapons and magic training and forgeing.
Lief and his companions were able to relax and be at peace in the safety of the underground village of ralidin. This was also the first time Jasmine has ever slept on a soft bed and she had never slept better. During the time in baggey cal was busy forgeing the armor suit pieces,silver shield,sword he found in jin and jods place with his golden belt making it silver and gold with a dial on his left silver and right side goldthen forged some dark magic of his elemental magics.
If they run into the sorceress he needs to be ready and he took the blood samples of jin and jod mixed them into two seperate potions drank one gave his body time do adapt to new arsenal powers same with the second. As soon as he consumed the potions he trained with his new powers but made sure not to overexert himself. He need to give his body time to get used to the new powers he acquired. Just to keep up his strength he ate two of the sweet plums he got from the bush
During that time after he was done training, he gave the people of the village half of the solid gold coins he found. And gave them a second gift with baggey he asked her to give him a lute and he plaid them a song wich even surprised his group of comrades. He strummed the lute to tune it and played a great song that everyone is sure to love.
(song)
The greatest adventure,
Is what lies ahead,
Today and tomorrow,
Are yet to be said,
(ralids started to join him playing musical instruments)
The chances the changes,
Are all yours to make,
The mold of your life,
Is in your hands to break,
The greatest adventure,
Is there if your bold,
Let go of the mood,
That life makes you old,
To measure the meaning,
Can make you delay,
(this had made lief,barda,jasmine smile)
You've got to stop thinking,
And wasting the day,
The man whos a dreamer,
And never takes leave,
Dreams of a world that is just make beleive,
Will never know passion,
Will never know pain,
One who sits by the window,
Will one day see rain
The greatest adventure,
Is what lies ahead,
Today and tomorrow,
Are yet to be said,
The chances the changes,
Are all yours to make,
The mold of your life,
Is in your hands to break
(when the song was over everone clapped their hands)
Day time (top villiage)
The days have seem to passed quickly and they were once again ready to continue their quest."thanks for everything" lief said "well never forget you" barda said "it was very kind of you to give us food and shelter"jasmine said "we are in your debt ralids of ralidian" cal added. "And we a greatful to manus of course for agreeing to be our guide, we promise to protect him with our lives" barda said as he place a hand on manus shoulder and the elder written something on the ground with her walking stick.
"To where will he be guiding you" barda read "don't tell me you didn't say anything you should've told them that you're taking us to the lake of tears"jasmine said to manus. The elder gasped and stapped her stick and all the villagers started stamping one of their feet" don't think they want him to go"lief said and elder wrote in the dirt"evil and wickedness and what's this?" barda said. What was drawn looked like a word in the shape of a fish "soldeen that seems to be what they're afraid of"barda said"so whats a soldeen?"jasmine said "whatever it is it sounds like bad news" cal added "I have no idea but what ever it is its clear we should try to avoid if all possible just like the sorceress theagen"barda said
This caused the elder to gasp and she wrote on the ground "you will never be able to defeat theagen"barda said for them "why did you say that" he asked and she wrote more. "The only way someone can defeat the witch is to draw her blood even a single drop in this world will be free of her for all eternity" barda said "the problem is theagens whole body is protected by magic many have tried to penatrate this magic not one of them has ever succeeded or returned" barda said for her. Lief spoke" but you dobt understand we have to go" and she drew a question mark in dirt and bards said why. "We can't tell you but please just believe us were telling the truth when we say its for the good of deltora and its people that we get there"lief said to her they looked at each other then she looked at manis and he nodded. She smiled raised her staff showing she will permit manis to accompany them to the Lake of tears.
(Day time)waterfall entrance
The village elder, two kids and grownups are standing in front of the waterfall secret entrance watching are group leave manis and jasmine in front, cal in the middle and lief with barda in back carrying two sacks. "Im sorry manis for asking you to come with us" lief said and manis pointed up ward "right lets go" he said.
Our group is walking by the river on a path so narrow they have to place their fronts against the wall and walk sideways. While this was happening the sun was setting and manis stopped "whats the matter?, you seem scared is it because the lake is just beyond those rocks" lief asked and manus hummed and nod in agreement. "Its ok thank you manis you have done enough already you should go home now back to your friends and family" lief said and manus looked at them placed his hand on chest and pointed to direction. Lief said," well ya but won't everyone in ralidian be worried about you?" and he just looked at them"alright if you're going to be stubborn" lief said and mania smiled with closing his eyes.
Lake of tears (night time)
Our main characters have arrived at the lake of tears a huge lake with small island with a wheeping person statue. Lief asked " is this it", "ya this is it alright"Barda answered "this used to be the town of Dor it was full of plants and trees like a big beautiful garden then sorceress theagen did this to it" jasmine spoke. Cal said" she really is the most cruel creature I ever knew" barda asked" is the belt warm?,dose it feel the presenceof a gem" Lief answered " no nothing at least not yet" they all looked around. "This is what we came here for there's a special gem hidden somewhere around this lake,but its a big secret if we do find the gem you can't tell anyone no matter what happens" lief said to manis and he place his arm on his left chest meaning he keeps the secret.
"We should be careful there could be something waiting for us out there" Jasmine said "well there's only one way to find out"Barda added he walked to the edge of the lake it "seems alright" every one followed "the gems here the belt senses it now it must be somewhere under the water" lief said and kree cawed "something's coming" Jasmine shouted. Lief and barda drew their swords from the hilts while cal twisted the right dial saying"for the glory of greatness daylight is mine to command" and changed into his golden armor battle suit.
Suddenly four white snakes jumped out and the boys sliced them in half with their swords"that can't be it?, Barda said "no theres more" lief said "fine by me ive been itching to give my new skills a challenge" Cal said "the belt is hot now" lief said from a distance in the lake of tears, something was moving. "There it is", barda said and lief said "Soldeen" revieled to be a giant fish monster with a green and blue serpent body with tendrill fins on the side of his head the creature launched right at the boy separating barda from lief and cal and went back to the deep part of the lake.
"Lief, cal are you two alright?" Barda said "im fine" lief said "same here" cal replied "what ever you do keep moveing we'll wait for our chance to attack " barda shouted " i got ya" lief said cal just hummed in confirm.
"Barda watch out" lief said soldeen was coming back made a collision with barda Lief shouted bardas name then soldeen headed for cal and lief. Lief and cal shouted and stuck their swords into soldeens body but were taken for a ride lief let go of his sword but cal was in for a ride. While cal was rideing soldeen the fish creature decided to go back to lief for an attack.
Cliff hangers can be very annoying but hey keeps you on your toes. For the record the song isn't mine it belongs to the hobbit.
