CROSS TRAPS: PART 1 (Trouble for space)

3. FIRST TRAVEL

"It is good to hear a human voice, Leo." And trust me I didn't lie.

"Apollo and Leo." My father was standing in front of us.

I ran towards him. "Come, dad, this place is dangerous."

"I know. But your grandfather needs your help." He pointed behind him.

My grandfather stood there. He had a wrinkled, red and round face. He didn't hold a stick and he was standing upright, which was, well, unbelievable for his age. He wore a grey shirt and black jeans. I guessed his good physique was due to this Montauk planet.

"You disappeared twice, right? Mother told me that once. You were searching for the transoid. The last you disappeared was exactly 415 years ago, right?"

He chuckled. "Time is never accurate, my son. But yes. According to your time yes. And trust me. You did a thousand times better work than me. Metamaterials? That thing is cool. I can't even think about that on this planet. And thanks."

"What for?"

"Everything. Your dimension bomb was the device was_"

"Fantastic? We know! But there is low temperature in here and I am suffering from height phobia. There is a cliff in here. Let's go." Leo interrupted.

"Where? He destroyed everything." Grandpa asked.

"That man in shadows?"

"Saffric." My father snorted in disgust.

"Who?" Leo asked.

"I guess some person who lived in here. Let us go to the master. He could protect us. Let's go." Grandfather replied.

The master.

I cannot believe my grandpa called someone master. And that fact also told me that he knows a lot of stuff. And that life existed in here.

But seriously, we have to walk so much?

After what seemed like a zillion years, we reached a steep cliff.

"Looks like you guys want a ride." My grandfather told us.

"No." We replied in unison.

But it was too late. My grandfather whistled.

Suddenly, a huge white shinning figure appeared in the sky. It swopped down with a dangerous speed and covered us with some substance like sand.

After the coughing and wheezing was done, I looked around and noticed that there was a lot of mist around us. As that creature landed, its shining white fur gave me just enough light to look around. The area in which we had landed was greenish-yellow, like chlorine. It looked like a huge crater, and on the edges of this depression were towering peeks, and we were standing in front of one. I didn't saw any vegetation there, and the land looked like it was made up of green crystal.

The extra huge creature which had landed in front of us was a wolf with two huge wings, and trust me, he was at least 5 times larger than an average house. He was made up of shining white fur and he looked amazingly beautiful.

"Hi, wolfram." My father called.

"Hi." His voice was loud enough to make me jump out of my skin, even if not caught by surprise. But his tone was kind and gentle. "Want a ride?"

"How could you sp- Oh. The Montauk planet."

"Montauk planet?" He asked.

I started a mind conversation and told him everything.

"No, my son," Grandpa said when I finished. "It wasn't destroyed. I took it and hid it. But trust me, even I never used it."

"We don't have time. Let's go."

Grandpa asked, "Who first?"

"I." Though I am still not sure why.

I mounted him (Mounting a 20 feet tall creature is not easy).

He shot up with his legs. I didn't know why he didn't fly, but I found this better as I suffer from height phobia.

After a minute, I said: "I feel like we are being followed." And I didn't lie.

He laughed sadly: "Oh of course. The forces of Saffric has surrounded this place. We might be chased by a few killer mosquitoes."

A few minutes later, he corrected himself. "We are being chased by killer mosquitoes."

I looked behind and saw thousands of mosquitoes as large as Wolfram chasing us.
