Chereads / Ashley Roberts: Curse of the 7 Temples / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The Phantom

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The Phantom

Temple of wings was where Patricia was supposed to be at getting the Ancestral stone of flight. what could've happened that she would need help? sure Ashley almost drowned and became a fire breathing dragons snack, she doubted that the charming bee princess would need any kind of help. It took forever to get the climbing tree to reach the temple of wings. As she approached the never-ending climbing tree a strange presence quickly overcame her what was that feeling she thought she had felt it before but where.

just as she was about to focus on climbing the tree it dawned on her. two days ago that presence breathed down her back in that bedroom at Ritz's house. how could she forget? looking up to see how far that Temple entrance really was she suddenly got a knot tieing sensation in her stomach. she had never been one for heights not even back home in school. and now she was expected to climb to the top of a world she still barely knew. Without out any more hesitation, she took a deep breath closed her hazel eyes reached for the nearest branch, and began her long climb to the Temple.

five mins into her climb she started coughing were she really this out of shape? it had only been two years since her last cross country race surely her body couldn't be that out of shape already. with nowhere to stop and rest she had no choice but to keep climbing . two hours had passed and she was near to the top when a Glythin appeared flapping his little wings, Glythins were one of the oldest creatures in Niantic bred to track witches in the older days they were very rare to find out in the free world after the First kingdom fell to ashes.

Struggling to reach to the top, are we? or perhaps this is too much of a task for wimpy little witch chuckled the Glythin, maybe you should have stayed in the forest befriending Goblins. Blood beginning to boil inside of her she was about to fry this little pest when she heard a beautiful song " fires burning high, darkness everywhere, tales of the day's golden ones to come'

suddenly a mermaid-like fairy appeared out of nowhere. wings covered in glittering sparkles of every color long curly white hair wavered in the air. she descended with such grace that time its self seemed to stop for a minute. hello, my darling my name is Elvie.

still in shock from meeting such a beautiful creature Ashley forgot to introduce herself. my my my name is. I know who you grin Elvie you're Ashley Roberts the daughter of the Late Roberts. I see you have met my Glythin Dran he can be a little out of place at times I'm sorry for anything rude he might have said. I see you are trying to reach the Temple of wings, my dear, I must say I'm rather impressed with how far you have made it, wouldn't be in easier if you could just fly up there. if you give me your hand I can escort you the rest of the way, no need to worry I'm not here to hurt you. Not sure if Elvie was trying to get Ashley to trust her with the random acts of kindness she felt trapped. if she kept climbing she was surely going to run out of energy and possibly fall and lose all ground she had made if she went with Elvie she would risk being kidnapped and them getting the two Ancestral stones she had acquired.

deep breaths she had agreed to let Elvie escort her the rest of the way, hold on my dear it's going to be a little when we first take off. with just their hands holding on to each other if one thing went wrong Ashley would fall to her death. terrified of heights this was the worst thing she could've done. enjoying the view of Ninartic and all its true colors from this height was breathtaking. it's so beautiful, isn't it? we are about to break through the clouds after that you'll need to open the door of Wings to enter The Temple. 'here are you, my dear, best of luck on your journey . as they said goodbye and headed out on their paths Ashley found the door to the Temple of wings wide open like someone had blasted it open. what happened here she asked, as she entered the Temple it was cold there was air going everywhere and it was hard to walk. as she entered the Chapel she could make out an outline of someone laying on the floor struggling to move. Patricia she screamed !!!

quickly approaching her friend she noticed blood everywhere are you okay she asked, you shouldn't of coming here Ashley it's not safe, he knows our plan the others are in great danger. gasping for air Patricia pulled out a bag, here take the Ancestral Stone of Wings I managed to hide from the Phantom Mad Man. seconds after giving Ashley the Ancestral stone Patricas body started evaporating into the Air. thank you for everything you have down Ashley before she closed her eyes for good.
