Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 2: A LOST HOPE (NEW EDITION)

Almost reaching the end of the cliff is a small temple, where those evildoers plan to find the treasure of the temple.

It is hidden by a thick curtain of shrubs and trees, although, the temple of it can only be seen at a considerable height from another mountain since this is the highest point of the entire cliff.

The search for a special treasure is the cause of having been attacking each of the temples of CHOSEN.

Some of the temple huts, where students and teachers are fighting the attackers, separate a girl about 14 years old, with medium-long hair, tangled, dark, barefoot, her skin and clothing is stained with blood and tinged by the fire between which she made her way.

The girl runs hiding in the bushes trying to reach the temple of the cliff, as she looked that a group of thugs is heading there, in front of them goes a tall, thin man, short beard and moustache, her hair is long, cold-looking and does not reflect being more than 40 years old.

He's not like everyone else, he looks neat, he looks like a sage and he wears a robe she doesn't recognize.

Those men go down the road, as most have been subjected to death, they are in no hurry.

The girl, hurting on her chest and with some feeling that threatens to make her cry, rushes down the side of the temple.

The mercenaries are close.

When she reaches the temple wall, a second later, they stand in front of the temple, they should only follow a small path among the uphill trees, behind that temple is a cliff.

It is a small temple which is circular with a window that is directed to each of the 4 cardinal points, below it, is the exit of the waterfall of the neighboring mountain that crosses below the top of it.

Inside, in the center of the ceiling can enter the moonlight and there are pillars around.

It is the holiest room in the CHOSEN temple, on a pillar of rock, lies a book decorated with beautiful forehead, has letters engraved in gold, rhinestones and scrolls with valuable protectors of silver and rubies.

Abruptly, through one of the windows, the young woman enters, takes one of the layers of monk that are hanging on the side of the window, she puts it on while listening to the footsteps of the mercenaries already behind the door.

The young woman, hooded in her monk's habit, quickly takes the book with the scrolls, and hides from the sight of others behind a pillar, at that moment, someone enters the sacred room.

The shadow is that tall, thin man's.

The young woman hurts from her chest again, the tension has increased the pain.

Now she when touching her fingers notices a lot of moisture, takes a little look at her hand, she's bleeding more.

She's attentive and quiet, she's afraid she'll be found.

The man's gaze goes from cold to fury when he notices the lack of "THE TREASURE OF CHOSEN", shouting furiously making a tantrum that lets his clothes beneath the cloak.

He wears dark trousers and a light-colored shirt with wide sleeves and in one of his hands wears a smooth silver ring.

Such is the scandal that others also enter, thinking that this man would be in trouble.

The wind sneaks through one of the 4 windows that the small temple has, and the wind scatters through the room and the light that clears the clouds moved by the wind, they let the riches inside the temple, they are all over the walls, the men are dispersing through the temple, observing the valuable possessions.

That man didn't... visibly angry approaches the center of it, where the treasures he seeks should be.

The young woman is very worried, if they disperse further, they will see her.

The man calms down for a moment, he catches an aroma... it's a singular, fixed smell of looking at that smell.

It is just behind the column where the girl is hiding and the one full of excitement for the find, throws a power against the column, the girl just at that moment throws another power against the wall and makes a hole.

This one's going to void the cliff.

The roar stuns those present.

As the man in the robe runs towards the girl, she throws herself into the cliff with her precious treasure, that man for a few centimetres, can't stop her by grabbing her by the cloak.

She fell and he doesn't plan to lose that precious treasure and throws himself too.

The others surprised by such feat give the alert to go and look for them in the sima.

In the wind, as they fall.

That man casts a spell on the girl, she brings her arms busy and only helps summon wind to help her fall faster.

It is swallowed by the waterfall, while the man almost bequeathing at the end of it, uses the handling power of plants and branches near the waterfall grow excessively slowing down its fall.

NOTE: The room mentioned is the highest of the temple and is located at the foot of a large cliff from which below the temple falls a waterfall that will give the forest in the sima of the mountains.

You hear a roar in the sky, and lightning soos the sky travels the mountain like a dragon's tail.

In the sky, you can see a black cloud forming and from the nebula comes a giant hand with claws on the nails, from the center of the palm comes a very bright reddish light that blinds the vision.

The light's going away.

The mountain has been left on fire and all the monks on the ground are seen charred.
