97 The Trials

Logan halted everybody in the middles of the bamboo forest, asking Jaivva if she studied the dispel spell. She walked past him, clearly seeing the reality. a simple weave of hand seals, followed by a clap, dispelled the illusion.

The natural beauty of green bamboo was now filled with green snakes ready to snap if anybody got too close. A tiled pathway led to an earth shrine with an oversized monkey on top.

"Why have you come?" asked the monkey.

"Oh, so we have to talk to him to get the animal spirits?" asked Jaivva.

The monkey hissed towards them until Logan came in its way.

"We come to make a pact for Jaivva and Vanessa. That's all," said Logan, calming the beastly monkey.

Mimi called out to the two girls, "Hey, yall two need to be careful what you say here. Let Logan do the talking".

"What pact must you seek?" asked the monkey.

Logan first turned towards Jaivva, "What animal do you want as your spirit animal"?
