Lehi saw how her self almost got thorn when an invisible wall got shattered. She found herself within a maze. The maze seemed to be alive as the vines and thorns come after her. She summoned her comb as she used to slice through the thick wall of shrubs. Lehi hid unto the nearest wall as the brown vine got silent. Lehi tilt and pan her head unto her right side when her nose almost got thrusted by a thorn. Lehi rolled unto the grround when the persistent vine continually come after her.
Hexel opened his eyes when his lungs got full with water. When he got face to face with Nevi, Hexel pushed him away thinking that he is part of the illusion. When Hexel caught a glimpse of Lila. He coughed as he rises above the water and apologized to Nevi.
"Where is Ophir and Kiel?" Hexel inquired when all of ther reached a mysterious formation upfront.
Nevi and Sage checked the area and cannot locate Ophir.
"Ophir was with us but Kiel got stationed at the Kingdom." Lila answered.
The huge and tall masonry structure held back the pressure coming from the water. The egis were in a coral like hole ans structure. Sage decided that it safe for them to climb it manually.
"I noticed that whenever a space user maximizes it's gifts, the whole island get reshape and is restructuring." Sage mentioned.
"So the only option is to behave and climb this ammunition." Nevi sighed.
"It can't be helped, I bet we got duped."
Ain remarked.
Ecles walked straightly with a side step and waltzing.
Sage cannot believe that he who controls the gravity cannot even apply his gift. Lila looked back to get dizzy from the height she just climb up.
Sienna got assisted by Hexel as their wall climbing keep them to search upward.
Ophir cannot believe that he will wake uo within a maze that is full of thorns and creepy vines. He defended himself by tossing his peeble bones to burn the violent thorns and vines. When a loud explosion occured at his back. He focused his senses. The voice that his ear drums have captured caused his heart to ponder. He followed the direction and found a massive wall got slice by Lehi's comb. He followed the hole and saw the whole shrub ganging up on someone.
Lehi got shaken from the explosive plants that got in contact with her oil. She blew up bubbles of oil to nullify the vines and shrubs ganging up unto her. When a vine caught her hell she got stoned unto that spot and was unable to move. The agressive vine almost wrapped her like a dumpling when someone hugged her and firmly pulled her out from that state. Lehi was surprised to see Ophir.
When Ophir saw that Lehi got immobilized. He instantly fought his way and cut through the vines that was halting him to help Lehi. When he cannot find any openings. He used the shrubs unto his advantage and it became a bridge for him to embrace Lehi from the waist. His blade sliced through the vines. Ophir can see Lehi's surprised face. Her wide eyes blinked at him. Ophir yanked her wrist as they refuge themselves from the endless vines and thorns.
Hexel pulled Sienna up from the rocky wall as they reached the peak and saw a weird garden full of black roses.
"I like flowers but this one looks vibrantly unique." Lila commented.
When Ecles realised the situation it was too late all of the people with him fainted. Ecles tried to maintain his mind when the strong scent of the black rose forcefully shut down their vision. Ecles saw a mug shot of the black rose forming unto a man in his black gown and corsets.
It's been two days but Kiel haven't heared any report from the team that was sent unto that island. Kiel tried to focus in completing his training with Resh but his mind keep drifting unto the situation happening in the island. Resh noticed his distractions and yelled at him.
"Hey Prince! Back to square one. If you keep slacking then you will be spinning on that same spot for eternity."
Kiel cannot help but submit to this annoying old man who just kept yawning and instructing lazily unto him.
Lehi knew that she will meet Ophir in the near future but she never expected that it would be this instant. Her face displayed how surprised she was to be face to face with him. Lehi got yanked by Ophir as he shielded her behind a bush.
"I think we need to burn them." Lehi awkwardly muttered.
Ophir nodded at her and instantly covered her from the vines as she stamp her feet seven times. Her coal shoes started a spark as she stamp her heel and recite her prayer.
"Our God who can bring ashes unto a vine that is from the wilderness let it be consumed with your flame that brings silence against the wicked attack of this violent plants. Let it that the root are crisp and the leaves will be wiped out by the wind. May your passionate fire ensures a pathway toward your will. Amen."
After her stamp and prayer the whole group suddenly crisp the whole maze. Lehi can just slump from her exhaustion. The three of them has been finding a steady and stable spot to rest in. Lehi was again shocked when Ophir lifted her in a princess carry manner.
"You can rest for now. I will find a safe shelter for both of us. You look so tired and burn out."
Lehi just answered with a short thank you as she slowly enclose her view with her lashes. She cannot argue nor get bashful right now since her body has been awake for the longest time. She recalled her last bath yet her body cannot even respond shyly at her own thought. Lehi got lulled by Ophir's arms.
