Like this two months passed but the crew was unable to get the treasure. They walked during the days and spent their nights by establishing tents. However, now Hobert and Lucy slept in separate tents. Hobert slept with John and Lucy with Drake but there was no feeling love and affection between them. Hobert thought that their love was dead and he couldn't find any source to fix it. Thus they only talked as friends helping each other in need but nobody felt any feeling of love for each other. Hobert still had a feeling for Lucy but he wasn't able to make Lucy understand about it.
THE TEMPLE OF GOLD
In the meanwhile, John was trying to find out which one would be the nearest location as they couldn't walk like this anymore and they were out of food. So, they had to reach a nearest village or kingdom as soon as possible. Suddenly he found that the map was glowing again. He said, "Look at it. The map to the treasure is glowing." After it stopped glowing anymore, he found that there established a new location near them. It was hidden before. "Woah, it's termed as 'The Temple of Gold.' I think we can get help and some food over there. More or less it's a temple." said Drake. Alright we shall not waste time over here as I'm starving. Let's go." replied Hobert and they reached there, The Temple of Gold, if you can say it's a temple. "Well look at that. I thought that we are going to find humans but they are apes. How can they make us food." In the same time a group of male monkeys passed by them but it felt ridiculous as they were talking in human language. And they were wearing costumes. "That's absurd. I think that they are on the stage of conversion from apes to humans. Well they can speak. But how do they know English?" asked John. "I don't know. May be some mysteries of this dimension are still unknown to us. We should be careful in our journey." In the meanwhile an ape dressed in black spotted them. It seemed that it got scared on seeing them and he rushed to inform other apes. John tried to make them understand that they were friends but the security of the temple caught four of them and tied them together using a nylon rope. They took them inside the temple. There they saw it shining as if it was made of gold. It was brightly decorated and there was a statue of a giant ape looking as if it were worshipped. The crew was taken to an old ape, most probably their decision taker. Hobert asked the old ape, "Please we need help. We want to ask for food. We are starving are there is nothing with us left as food. Please, it's my request." The old ape replied, "What kind of creature are you? I haven't seen anyone like you before talking in our language with us. We help every creature of this world. Don't worry we shall get you bananas." "Thank you. Thank you very much." said John and they were untied by the apes. They were taken to a hall where varieties of banana dishes were being served. They sat and ate it. Their face showed how hungry they were and how much pleasure they felt after eating their meals. It gave them a sense of satisfaction. After eating they went to the old ape. They asked, "Can you tell us how far is the Knight Palace from here? It will be our next destination." said John. "It is nearly a week from here. But yes by trees it is less than that." "I think we shall walk as we cannot climb." replied John and gave a short laugh.
The next day they left the Temple of Gold and led themselves to the location which they discussed about. Now their destination is to reach the Knight Palace
REACHING THE KNIGHT PALACE
A week passed and they walked all their way towards the direction said by John. "How long will it take to reach that treasure? A month has passed since we started our journey." asked Lucy. "I don't know. The 'X' mark is very far from here. We need to step in all the location the map says. Otherwise we won't be able to find a way to reach the 'X' mark. Just as the incident happened in the last week. That Temple. It suddenly appeared in the map and the strange thing is that a place did exist like that. As told by the book, we need to step in all the destinations the map says in order to find it." replied John. "Well it seems that only you are concerned in finding solutions to the mysteries." said Drake. "Yes, I am working on it. Under my guidance everyone is going to get the treasure. Trust me and my path. I won't leave anyone of you in anxiety." said John in confidence. It seemed as if John is the leader of their journey. The crew appeared on the highest point of a plateau. Hobert took his binoculars and saw through the forest down that plateau. "Oh, I can see something." said Hobert. "Give me that." said Lucy and snatched his binoculars. She looked into it and said the same thing, "I can see it too. It seems like a big palace surrounded by strongly fortified walls. The old ape told us right. It needs a week to reach there. Alright let's go."
They led themselves down that plateau and reached that palace. "Hello anyone there." shouted Lucy in front of the royal gates of that palace. It wasn't a tribal palace but it looked much modern as if it is like the Buckingham. They held the bells hanging from that gate and rang it. No one came to open the gates. They tried to push the royal gates and it opened. A beam of light fell on their faces and they were shocked in seeing the outcome. There were carts moving down the concrete streets, there were gardens with beautiful fragrant flowers, there were children roaming about the streets playing with balls and there was a big market by the side of the street. It wasn't over yet. There were fishermen catching fish by the side of a pond nearby. It wasn't just a palace but an entire civilization. The people wore beautiful dresses. There were couples sitting together in restaurants, gossiping. A lovely atmosphere emerged as they entered through the gates. They stepped inside and closed the gates. Suddenly all the people spotted them. They rushed towards them and said "Where are you from? And why the girl has wore such small dress? We can see her legs." " We are from another dimension. Our culture is different from here. In our world women love wearing short dresses in order to make them more attractive." replied Lucy. "Oh I see." said one of the people. "Can I ask you which year is this?" asked Hobert. "It's 1900." replied that person and the people left them. They thought that the crew was friendly. "Well I think that not all the places in this dimension work in the same time. At first there were villages and kingdoms made of wood and mud. Now this place is made of concrete. Time works differently in different places of this world, I guess." said Drake. "Maybe you are right, Drake." replied John "The girls are beautiful in this place. I think we shall make some of them friends." Hearing this advice, the crew broke into laughter. "Alright make them friends." replied Hobert while laughing at the same time. "Also try to sleep with them. You know, you won't get this chance after returning from this place." "Not only the girls. The boys look even more handsome. I just want to spend some nights with any one of them. They look like princes." said Lucy. The crew split themselves and started searching a partner with whom they could sleep together. Now as all of them were friends no one minds with whom he or she is sleeping.
The crew found their partners. Drake found a gorgeous white girl with brown shiny hairs. John found a girl with attractive body. Lucy found a man who is tall and handsome just like a prince. The most attractive of them is the woman searched by Hobert. She has all the qualities of beauty. She is even more than just the word beautiful. She has a gorgeous body and very much attractive. Drake and John seemed to be jealous from Hobert's partner.
"This is our plan. We shall spend a week having pleasure. We want to forget our stress and anxiety and shall begin our journey again from the next week. I have the information that this civilization has got no king or a queen. It's only people. They love having pleasure with others and they want to spend their entire life by being happy." said John. The crew members accepted and went to their respective partner's houses. It was evening and the crew wanted to have their food. Their partners offered them food.
The night was emerging and they led themselves along with their partners in the bedroom in which they were going to sleep. The partners locked the rooms in order have some privacy. The crew began to forget about their stress and tension in search of the treasure. They sat on respective beds provided by their partners and thought for some time of what they were about to do.
The crew came to know about the names of their partners after some time of gossiping. The name of Drake's partner was Amanda, Ford of Lucy, Stacy of John and Amy of Hobert.
