43. Temple

The training ground was quiet. The girls were doing physical exercises in the distance, sometimes looking at Adam. He was sitting on a folding chair and leafing through an old-looking book, sometimes making notes in it.

"What do you think he's reading this time? He's been reading it for a few hours now. " – Sasha began

"It already happened when that fortune teller gave him a book. But this is a different book and it appeared after he talked to the king. " Ann said, doing push–ups with one hand

" What were they talking about ? After he came back, he's been flying in the clouds all the time. " – said Marcy, flying a little above the ground

" Suspicious " – X3

The girls looked at Adam while he tried not to notice it. At the moment, he was reading a page where the trials of the temple were described. Each temple has its own test, which a star with the appropriate power must pass.

(And yet I was right, there were power holders before us. Otherwise , how do they know what 's inside ? It's also possible that Andreas deceived me, but it doesn't matter. ) – he put the book away and stood up stretching

(The most important thing is to charge the stones and find the one who is watching us. Even now I can feel his gaze, it's wildly annoying. ) – Adam looked at the castle in the distance of Newtopia

(You will need to walk around the castle and look around. I'm sure Andreas is in league with this thing. I might be able to dig up dirt, but first I need to prepare and get rid of this look. Otherwise I can't do anything. )

Adam stretched and slowly approached the girls. They instantly straightened up and waited for the command.

"The training is over....." – he looked at them

"….I'll give you a break for half an hour. After that, pack your things and wait for me near the entrance to the mansion. " - he looked at the sun

" And where are we going this time ? "- Sasha arched an eyebrow

" Ann, do you remember you asked how to charge the stones? " - Adam turned to Ann, ignoring Sasha

"Yes. And I remember for sure that you walked away from my question. " - She crossed her arms over her chest

"Well, now I will answer it. " - He turned to Sasha

"We are going to charge the stones. It's time for you to finally feel the full potential of your abilities. "

The girls exchanged glances with each other, after which their eyes flashed and they instantly ran to their rooms. Adam just shook his head and continued to look at the sky.

"Soon....soon, you're going to choke on blood, asshole. "

He smiled, then headed to the mansion. He also needed to prepare for the journey.

--------------------------------------------

"Girls, this is our chance. "

In Marcie's room, they all gathered and sat in a circle. Each of them checked his bag for the presence of necessary and necessary things.

" You mean your plan ? And which of us will be the first ? " - Sasha crossed her arms and looked at Marcie

"I don't know. We're going to an unknown place where we can finally charge this stupid box. Everything can change in a moment, so we'll look at the situation " – Marcie shook her head and stuffed her underwear into her bag

"We have a plan, but what are we going to tell him? We can't just start telling him how sorry we are, he'll figure it out right away. " - Ann looked up from the phone

"Along the way. We need to get him to talk, and then shift to this topic. I don't know how, think of it. Each of our conversations will be unique, because each of us regretted in his own way. "

There was silence in the room.

Marcie was right, each of them had something to say to him. Everyone who was here was sorry in their own way.

Ann was swallowed up by her vegetable garden.

Sasha tried to forget, but she couldn't. His eyes that day, still dream of her in dreams.

Marcie began to swing, gain muscle. She wanted to become so strong that Adam could not escape from her embrace.

Everyone has something to regret. And today, one of them will have a chance to lighten the load on his soul.

----------------------------------

Soon Adam and the girls met and went beyond Newtopia. Olivia was aware. Since Adam had discussed all the details and possible deadlines with her, so she had nothing to worry about.

Adam couldn't use the teleporter since he hadn't been to this place yet. In order for the teleport to work, you need to know the place, visit it and know the coordinates. You can't teleport to random points, otherwise you'll be torn in half and it wasn't a joke.

So they'll have to go the other way.

" Joe ! Joe! "

" Q ! "

Marcie screamed into the sky, after which a quick shadow swept past and appeared near them. She immediately went up to Marcie and started... pecking her?

" Joe ! That's enough! I haven 't seen you for a week ! " – Marcy was fighting off a huge sparrow

In the Amphibian world, in addition to riding snails, there were riding sparrows. They were used to patrol the area and one of them was given to Marcy, for her contribution in getting rid of the pirates. So now she had a huge house sparrow.

Marcie quickly calmed her pet, after which everyone sat on him. Adam took the reins, as he was the only one who knew the right way.

Taking off quickly, Joe headed north. And although the speed of the sparrow's flight was great, they would have to get there for several days, plus breaks so that Joe could rest.

An ordinary sparrow in their world could fly for a maximum of 20 minutes, but this is another world. So after 5 hours of silent flight, plus a little rest, they sat down for a rest. The sun began to slowly disappear, they needed to quickly set up camp.

--------------------------------

Adam was sitting by the fire and poking at the coals with a stick to distribute the coals. He leaned back against the trunk of a huge oak and looked up at the sky. Now he was on guard, as he volunteered first. The girls had been sleeping in their shared tent for a long time, so Adam took off his helmet and calmly looked at the stars.

"...well, are you interested? " - he rubbed his palms together to ward off the cold

"I hope so, because it will end soon. Soon your whole script will fly into the utter ass, so be ready. " - his eyes flashed in the dark

"I'm close. So close that I can grab you by the balls and...."

Adam paused. He quickly put on his helmet and buried himself in the fire. The tent screen slowly opened and Anne stepped out into the moonlight. She was howling in her pajamas and rubbing her eyes, sitting next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder.

Adam was stunned for a moment, but then calmed down. Ann always did this when they went camping, he had already forgotten what it was like to feel her next to him.

" And why aren 't you sleeping ? You usually sleep until lunch. " - Adam started stroking her head

"Not to sleep...." – she yawned sweetly and stretched

"I can't close my eyes. I have long since lost the habit of sleeping in the wild. " – she looked up at him

"I've been hiking many times before. We set up tents, fried marshmallows and looked at the stars, sitting in an embrace near the fire. " - She closed her eyes, enjoying his warmth

" Yes ? You don't look it. I thought you liked the comfort of civilization more. " - He chuckled, continuing to stroke her head

"It's true, but I miss those hikes. When it was just the two of us, we told different stories, laughed carelessly and thought about the future. " – she snuggled closer to him

"How I miss it....."

Ann slowly calmed down, she finally fell asleep. Adam looked at her. He smiled warmly and lightly stroked her cheek. He took off his cloak and covered the two of them with it. Lifting his helmet, he kissed her on the forehead and looked at the stars.

"Sleep, my owl ...I also miss it. "

He continued to look at the stars, not noticing how a smile appeared on his face. She rolled harder into his cloak. It was a warm night for her.

----------------------------------------------

After a few days of flying and resting, during which Ann always fell asleep next to him, they finally reached their goal. These were huge tropics, in the middle of which stood an old temple, entangled with vines.

When approaching him, Adam immediately saw the ancient message. And the word he was interested in was "MIND."

"Okay, we'll make a stop here. "

He stopped them in front of the entrance.

"I think I should tell you about this place. This is a temple where you can charge stones. There are three of them in total, for each of you. There are tests inside, pass them and you will be able to charge the stone. Do you understand ? "

Sasha and Marcie nodded, while Ann snorted at their enthusiasm. Adam had told her about it a couple of days ago, but she was still his favorite.

"This is the temple of Reason, your temple of Marcy. " - He turned to sister

"So you will lead us. From now on, I'm giving you the leader's reins. And yes, finally..."

Adam gave Marcie a seat.

"I won't help you at all. You have to go through the temple yourself. I will only intervene when your life is in danger. Do you understand? " - He stood next to Ann and they nodded

"Well, then, let's get started. Marcy, lead the way. "

She nodded and they went inside. The first of the three temples, the research has begun!
