Chapter 3

Cole ran faster than his legs, he was really scared. It was actually the first time he was this scared

His heart was beating faster than before

Right in his eyes , this happened

Terrific

He went back to his cabin, picked up the book

It was his only hope

His last hope

Probably, the book could tell him what to do

The next page was already updated

And it read:

You are stronger than you think

You determine the future

There is no destiny here

You have so many paths to pick from

You choose right or wrong

The fate of the people is determined by the path you pick

You determine your destiny by the path you pick

Head North, you will find something helpful

Don't underestimate your instincts

Believe in it

He flipped to the next page and it was blank

Again

Now,Cole believed in this book

Falgorts,why in my time?

He questioned himself

Cole hurriedly packed few clothes,his compass, flashlight and some bread

The remaining bread he had baked 2 days ago

He didn't need to carry much things,just few necessary things

He didn't even know what to expect

He picked his backpack and headed North

He stared around as walked,he had never gone this deep in the woods

He got a lot of stares from the animals

They might be thinking he was crazy

There were lot of eyes on him but there was a particular eyes

Yeah

A gaze

Cole was trying not be scared,after all he was the great JUPITER

He went North

He spent each minute staring at his compass

He wouldn't want to get lost

Suddenly,he tripped over and the compass feel from his hands and hit a huge stone

"Oh my Lord"

He said as he bent over to pick the compass up

Oh my God , please work

He thought as he smacked the compass hard

It was of no use,the compass was gone

It was broken beyond repair and was just spinning and going crazy

Cole was so disappointed and frustrated that he threw the compass away and hissed

How am I going to know what direction to go?

What if I go through the wrong path and get lost?

What will happen to the people?

What will happen to me?

Cole was really stressed out from thinking

He sat on the ground and thought of what to do

He opened the book again and blank page wasn't blank anymore

And it read:

What do people do when they are lost in the woods?

You use the trees as your compass

First, find a nearby tree with a large diameter and observe the thickness and direction of the branches. In the northern hemisphere, the branches on the south-facing side of the tree will be fuller, while branches on the north-facing side will be thinner and grow upwards.

The book was right,Cole smiled as he continued his journey

Heading North

I made each chapter short because I realized that people do not like to read long chapters
