Chapter 29

After his countdown, Taeyan shoot, and the three of them crossed the jungle in a glance. Now, they were in an unbelievably forbidden wood. They received a strong punishment when they handed over the book of secrets and they got the heads-up about the second time. It wouldn't be as easy as the last time, nevertheless, it wasn't so easy, they were promised to be punished severely the next time they entered the jungle.

They were made to carry cartridges with heavy jars on them for a whole excruciating day. Their body and their feet were killing them as the sun goes down and their hands were covered in blisters that they could not even hold a pencil. That book was extraordinarily important and as Cera prognosticated; it was a deceptive book that only talks about filthy plans they have in the future. They called it the books of secrets because there was a horrible secret-keeping among them. Thanking the green witch, they all realized their trickery. Many years ago they were trying to break the boundaries so demons could simply enter in.

-Suran's room-

"What's this purple crystal for?" Jay said, staring at the crystal.

Suran finished making the solution; having poured that in a vial, said "Boys are doing something."

"Well, it's completely normal. They always mess around with everything say something new about trouble makers." Kai murmured that looking out of the window.

"This time is different. They have learned how to deceive the fog." Suran said.

Jay looked back shocked and said "But how? It was just among the three of us."

"Cera has taken a copy from the recipe in your pocket," Suran said.

Kai put his hands on his head and said tensely, "what a disaster! I've told you to be careful."

Suran said, "It's not the whole story. They have found a book which belongs to the first magician Hugo, you heard those terrifying rumors about him."

"Are you kidding? We scoured that cave well. There were only stupid magic books nothing more." Jay said.

Suran said, "We didn't search thoroughly. It was hidden and they could find it accidentally. Do you remember that crow skeleton? It was a lever and Daria has pulled that. A stone has gone aside and they could see the book."

"They're looking for more now because they know they couldn't destroy everything before they left and banished," Kai said.

"I've already given a necklace to Taeyan putting a purple crystal inside it showing them to me. I knew that he won't separate it from himself even at bedtime." The crown prince said.

"It doesn't show anything new," Jay said.

"It only works with my hand touching it to make sure that no one can see what I see. I used magic", Suran said.

"You always keep an eye on them. Where are they, now?" Kai mentioned,

"They were doing it just for adventure before, but they have got a goal this time; magician forest."

"We must go there. That place is highly dangerous. Spellbound plants are also very hazardous." Jay said.

"That's why I called you here. I've already prepared a solution."

"We're going to figure out where they are and then entrap them. Right? " Kai said.

"Exactly! They're really smart and I'm sure they'll find something else. This way they'll count that place out. For now, it's best to go there and have found where they exactly go, they are unaware of creatures living there".

-Magician Forest-

The weather was cold and poisonous in the jungle. Trees were full of black spider nets and Taeyan didn't feel okay. However, he needed to find a sign to show where wizards were living in the jungle. It was the only way. A map of their hideouts in the human world sufficed. The weird sound of animals could be heard, making the jungle even more terrifying.

Filthy sarcophagus plants were increasing as the sunlight couldn't shine into the jungle. Obviously that they grow more and more each day. The cursed ivy began to move in the dark coming towards them. They have entered a very hazardous area. Those ivies were called death ivies, a very suitable name. The best way to get rid of them was a fire.

The three of them started to run, but ivies were getting quicker and quicker came after them unexpectedly, they wrapped over Daria's foot, but Cera started a fire in a beat and burnt the ivy. They help Daria, who was on the ground, to stand up and started running. The ivies moved back feeling the flames and got away. Taeyan was panting when he said, "It's better to be more careful. I do not like this place. The smell of magic bothers me."

"We weren't in this place before. Why aren't any trees here up to 100 yards?" Cera said.

"Maybe, they've cut off the trees." Taeyan guessed.

"I'm exhausted, we're searching for almost an hour," Daria said tiredly. He was nagging all the time since he could feel danger is getting closer.

As they were discussing, they heard someone from behind, "Who are you? Who let you enter this realm? Even the wizards don't dare to come here because of the spell."

The three of them trembled and turned back unhurriedly seeing a glorious golden Pegasus standing behind them. The light emitted from it. It was illuminated in the surrounding area.

"This jungle makes me hallucinate, can you see that or it's just me? I think the ivies did this to me." Daria said.

"I asked, who are you?" The golden Pegasus asked again.

"It's not a hallucination, dude! It's real." Cera looked at Daria and said for sure then looked at the Pegasus and introduced himself and them, "I'm Cera, they're Daria and Taeyan. Unfortunately we're lost. We weren't supposed to be here." he ended his sentence with a short fake smile. The Pegasus approached Taeyan and said, "Your name is the same as my old friend. He used to call me golden Suda."

"We knew him. So, you must be thousands of years old." Cera said surprisingly, he could not believe that a horse can live for such a long time. But it wasn't an ordinary creature and it was crystal clear.

"That's right," Suda replied.

"Wow, we haven't heard about you. You made the plants go away." Daria said.

Suda mentioned, "I didn't want to be seen. They might be wicked just like their lord."

"We're looking for a secret place that belongs to wizards and it is just like pantheon where they used to gather," Taeyan added.
