The Azena: Rise of the Guardians - Book I

Chapter 5

Once they landed, all four of them were spread out.

Kanna then opened her eyes and realized she was alone. Where they landed, it wasn't very pretty. It was green slime everywhere.

  "Aaran? Rylo? Naviia?" Kanna screamed. "Anybody!"
  As she called for her friends, her voice echoed through the airwaves.

  "I'm here!" Naviia screamed out.
Once Kanna heard her voice, she followed the sound and eventually found her.

"Did you see Rylo or Aaran?" Kanna asked helping Naviia up.

"Yea! I think Rylo is over there!"

"Oh no, he's stuck!" Kanna said running after him. "We need to help him!"

"Rylo! Do you need help?" Naviia asked running behind Kanna.

"How did you know?" Rylo asked with a sarcastic smile. "Please!"

  Kanna and Naviia made an effort to free Rylo from the gooey substance. They eventually succeeded.

"What is that stuff?" Kanna asked disgustingly.

"I don't know! I don't care!" Rylo said.

"Wait. Where is Delaaran?" Kanna asked worried.

"There he is!" Rylo said.

They ran to Delaaran's body to see if he was alright.
"Aaran!" Kanna yelled, getting on her knees, trying to shake him awake.
"Are you ok?"

Delaaran starts to cough and wakes up from his strong fall.
   "Where are we?" he asked.

"I don't know! We jumped through the river portal thing!" Kanna said.

"Here, let me help you up!" Rylo said with his hand out.

After Rylo help him up, they all start to walk. The place looked like a galaxy exploded in the sky. And the grass was a pretty turquoise.

"What is this place?" Delaaran asked in wonder.

"I don't like this!" Rylo said.

They all set out to retrieve any lost supplies before continuing their journey. They started moving forward until the earth began to tremble, and the slime started to congeal into a massive object.
It then roared at them.

"RUN!" Delaaran screamed.

The monster started chasing them, and they ran for their lives.
Rylo fell and the monster was approaching him, until suddenly Naviia threw a tree branch at it, making it melt to the ground.

  "What the flip was that?" Rylo screamed. "I want to go home!"

"No one knows we are missing! My clothes! Look at them! They are all slimy from saving you, genius!" Naviia yelled.

"You were supposed to!" Kanna said. "I'm surprised that you had great aim. If not, no one knows what could've happened to Rylo."

"Thanks, Naviia! You saved my life!" Rylo said as he got up.

"Yea, yea! It was whatever!" she said turning away.

As soon as everyone decided to spend the night there, they began to put up their tents to get some rest.

The next morning, they started to go on their adventure.
"Where are we going now?" Rylo asked.
"I don't know! Ask the two geniuses!" Naviia said with her arms crossed.
"We are going to the waterfall to get answers!" Kanna answers.
While traveling, they see a lot of things on the way. Naviia started to smirk as they got closer to the waterfall.
"I think we should just go home guys!"

"Why would you say that?" Rylo asks.

"I mean, look at this place!"
Naviia points at Rylo.
"Rylo almost got eaten!"

"And you saved him!" Kanna turned her head. "As long as all of us are on high alert and check our surroundings we will be ok!"

"Whatever!" Naviia said folding her arms.

"There's the waterfall!" Delaaran says.

Kanna looks in wonder. "Look how high!"

As they were looking, Naviia carelessly jumped off while laughing.
"Sayōnara!"

"Wait! Naviia stop!" Delaaran yelled.
As Delaaran runs after her, he fell behind her. Rylo and Kanna then ran around to find them at the end of the waterfall.

Delaaran and Naviia landed in the moving water.
Luckily, they water pushed then towards a big rock. They started to rest, as their lungs emptied from all of the water.
