Forest of illusion

Cyrus and Sophie are walking they are almost about to cross the Hittities border. But before that they both have to cross the forest of illusion. Sophie said "This forest was created by a God. This forest had trapped many people inside it. Until now only few were able to cross this forest." Cyrus said "Hold my hand tightly." Sophie hold his hand tightly. Then they both entered the forest. They walk for some time and they saw desert in that forest and Sophie in shock "How could that be i have never heard this before a desert inside a forest. I'm scared now Cyrus." Cyrus said "I don't know what is this about but we have to cross this desert. So move your legs." Then they started to walk in that desert. They walk about  2-3 hours in that desert. Sophie and Cyrus was very thirsty. Sophie said "Water I need water" Cyrus said "Get hold of yourself we almost finished the desert let's walk a little bit more." Sophie saw a river in that desert and while grabbing Cyrus's hand she rushed to the river and drank the water. After that Cyrus also drank water from there. They both took a sigh of relief after drinking the water. But after they drank water from there they both got teleported to the start of the forest. When they teleported there they both were shocked and Sophie said "how could that be possible we almost finished that desert and now we are here at starting what the heck is happening here." Cyrus said "from here this forest was looking like it was a 15 minutes trip but inside this forest it is looking like a never ending journey. Are we already caught by this Forest's illusion? Well we have to find that out for now let's get moving we have to cross this forest before night."

They walked for some time and they saw volcanoes in front of them. Cyrus said "What the hell is going on first we saw a desert and now these volcanoes what kind of forest is this." Sophie said "we are screwed now we have only two options first to cross these volcanoes or second we have to get back and go to our village again. Cyrus now it's up to you whatever you decide I'm always with you." Cyrus said "Of course we will cross these volcanoes." Sophie said "Then let's go and don't let my hand go." They both started to feel very hot between the volcanoes they were walking. Sweat was releasing from their bodies like water from a waterfall. Sophie said "it is very hot i can't handle this heat. I need something to cool me down." Cyrus said "Just tolerate it for a little more we are half way there." Then they saw a little mountain of snow between those volcanoes and Sophie rushed their while grabbing Cyrus's hand. When they reached there they both cool themselves. Sophie said "It is like I'm in heaven." Cyrus said " Now get moving or I will send you to heaven for real." Sophie said "Yeah yeah boss let's go." They both took a step forward and they reached the start of the forest again. 

Cyrus and Sophie was in confusion and Sophie was really scared and she said to Cyrus "I think we are trapped here. We are never going to make out of here we will be trapped here for eternity." Cyrus told her "I think I know what's going on here just follow me without saying any word." Then they both starts to walk again. When they walk for some time they saw a area filled with snow in that area there were a mountain they have to cross the mountain for moving ahead. Sophie said "Now what Mr Genius?" Cyrus said "Who gave you permission to speak? Just shut your mouth and walk." They start walking in that snowie area the wind there was so cold it was cold enough to freeze a dragon. Sophie and Cyrus were both freezing. Sophie said "I'm feeling really cold. Warm me up" Cyrus said  "how can i warm you up here.There is no fire here." Sophie said "With your body heat handsome." Cyrus blushed and said "Get moving you idiot it is soon going to night and it will be more freezing in night." Sophie said with sad face "Okay sir" Then they both got close to that mountain and they start climbing it they were half way around it and they were about to freeze then they saw someone put some fire and he was telling to both of them 'you are going to freeze come join me." Cyrus said "No thank you we will manage on our own." Sophie pinched him but Cyrus told her "Just walk" They start climbing mountain again after climbing it for some minutes they reached the top. The top of the mountain was more freezing then before Sophie said "I am about to freeze. Help me Cyrus" Cyrus said "Just show some will power we are almost there" Then they saw a old man was putting fire and he was inviting them to warm themselves. But Cyrus said "No we are fine." Old man said "Look at the girl she is about to freeze." Cyrus said "It is none of your concern we are fine." Then Cyrus hugged Sophie tightly and said "I hope this will warm you up a little bit." Sophie said "Thank you it helped a lot." Then they both started to walk again they crossed the mountain. Then they saw that old man again. Old man said to them "Congratulations you both passed the test now you can cross this forest." Sophie said "What test?" Old man said "An ancient God made this forest for help the first king of Hittities. He made this forest of illusion for him to teach never to depend on anyone but ourselve and the things you do will make an impact on your life and it is not important what you saw is always real." Sophie said "I don't understand anything you speak old man." Old man said " It doesn't matter you passed the test now get away from here."
