Chapter 10
Dez is this it?
"Yep..." Said Dez proudly.
"Well, bro either I'm blind or your stupid but all I see here is an empty space. So... where is it?"
"Wait not yet I need to call the entrance first."
"Call the entrance?"
"Yes."
Dez took the winged leaf and from around his neck and set it on the ground.
At that moment the leaf started to flap its wings once again.
Flying to the center of the clearing the winged leaf released something like golden dust from its wings that fall on the ground.
In the middle of that dust appears something like a sapling.
This sapling rapidly grows into a multicolor tree.
Its trunk had a normal brownish color to it but its leaves had a multitude of different colors making it look quite pretty.
After the tree grew about 20 meters in height it stopped.
"Wow."
Suki was enjoying it already "that was beautiful."
"It's not done yet"
Nobody except Dez expected it but the trunk of the tree begins to suddenly move.
They were subtle movements but spilled apart at the center of the trunk.
And from that opening, they were able to see a whole different world inside.
"Now, this is the entrance."
Ethan and Suki were both amazed.
"Is that a pocket space?" the first thing Suki thought was that this has to be a pocket space or even a pocket world.
"No, it's a parallel space. It's not a distant place it's the same place in a parallel space. Dez knew that his father had space abilities and sometimes he's able to do some weird thing that he wasn't able to understand at all but there were all real.
"What?" Ethan was absolutely clueless.
"Men just forget it let's go in, I don't want to explain all the details, are we here to attend a class or to have fun?"
Stepping true the portal they felt like they went to a different world.
It looks is so much different at first glance.
Why? because everything looked gigantic.
You couldn't see the ground at all it was completely covered by grass. Thick soft grass that went all the way to your knee. Swaying in unison to the Rhythm of the wind.
It looked like a green ocean.
The forest had trees with trunks so thick they look like buildings, like skyscrapers. They had a height that for sure surpassed 100meters. branches going far and wide, they were so tick that 3 or 4 humans could have stand easily on them. They stood above the other trees like stand-alone beauties of nature. When light shines true its branches brightening up the whole forest it gives your eye a marvelous holy sight to behold.
There were also yellow and green little specs of light falling from the sky. Suki and Ethan stood rooted to the ground not far away from the entrance.
taking in the environment whit their eyes, they couldn't believe it. If you could use one word to describe it. It would be 'heaven'.
The forest didn't only have those trees but all types of trees and of different sizes. You could also see some trees growing together joining from 2 different trunks combining forming a new tree whit different color leaves and fruits.
There was all type of bushes, medicinal plant that was considered rare was everywhere to be seen. Vines of different colors and sizes hanging on the trees were numerous. There was also a lot of wildlife especially on the mother trees they were so gigantic that they became home to a larch variety of birds, small and medium-size animals.
There was no dead or decaying tree to be seen
Dez ran and dived in the grass rolling around on the grass.
Later he spoke. "Ah, This is 'so' comfortable come guys join me, let's lay here for a second.
Suki walked closer to Dez and sat down. It was indeed like sitting on a pillow and the grass was very soft to the touch.
"You need to lay down if you want to enjoy this. Lay down like me. Like this." Said Dez putting his hand behind his head and spread his legs.
Yes, responded Suki a little shyly.
After laying down and looking up she saw leaves that looked like jewels shining when the rays of lights hit them. Some leaves were glittering while slowly falling and turning into specs of light. Like stars falling from the sky.
A soft breeze was caressing them. And Suki at that moment felt relaxed. Her mind calmed down and her emotions that were surging for being so close sleeping next to Dez also calm down.
This was a magical place.
Ethan also joined them and lay down. In his heart, he felt like the third wheel on this lover's bike. But soon he let go of that thought and just enjoyed the moment.
"Don't you think this place is great?" Asked Dez.
"Yeah, it is. I didn't believe it but it truly surprised me. Now I can understand why you guys like it so much."
For Ethan who had lived his whole life in rocky volcanic areas that had very little forest. This 15-meter thick and 100+ meters tall tree-like this place was something he had never seen before.
"Well, my friend I have to tell you that this is just the beginning. Wait until we reach the part where the creatures of nature live you will enjoy it."
"Creature of nature?" suki's curiosity was peaked.
"Yes, and also the mother of dreams."
…
"Let's continue, come follow me I want to show you guys a great place and a few friends.
While walking Dez and his friend found a gigantic flower bed of a big variety of flowers. It was a marvelous sight to see even more so with a group of butterflies dancing between the flowers. the way they move it truly resembles a dance or a ritual, no one knows.
After walking some time they came closer and closer to a mountain behind the trees.
Not long after they came to a large clearing where they saw a large lake with a section of the mountain extending into a cliff over the lake where it turns into a waterfall.
behind the waterfall, they saw something like a cave going into the mountain.
"I was thinking we can swim here for a while and meet some friends I have in the water, what do you guys say." proposed Dez.
"Yeah sure."
"Ok I'm going to change my clothes I'll be right back."
After saying that Dez ran behind a tree and started to take off his clothes to change into his swimwear.
Ethan follows up too.
"See you in a bit, Suki, I'll be right back too."
Standing there alone Suki couldn't Help It, she took a look in the direction Dez was changing.
Dez in his enthusiasm didn't hide well completely and she got a glimpse of him.
Smoking red she turned her face and ran away.
She went to look for a place to change into her swimsuit.
Dez was the first to return. He had an orange short on.
Not too long later he saw Suki walking back.
And Suki had a one-piece swimsuit with a black and white design crossing from left to right.
And had an opening from her rib going on to her hips on both sides.
For some reason when she saw Dez her face turned extremely red.
"Hey what happen to you, why are you so red, are you sick or something. If you don't feel well just let me know I have a large variety of medicine in my ring." Said Dez showing his care.
Before she could respond she heard a loud yell.
"ARE YOU GUYS READY TO PARTY?"
Ethan came last wearing a metallic color ultra geek men swimsuit. A pink sunglass and a big inflatable yellow duck.
If Veronica was here she would have had a nose bleed.
"Ethan can you change 'that' for a short," asked Suki. For Ethan, this was something he always wears when he has any type of aquatic activities and the girls around him back in his city always loved it.
NO. this feels so so so comfortable.
Out of his ring, he took a small sphere shape item. After touching and clicking a few times on it. The sphere shined and start jamming a song and Ethan started to dance.
Suki took her dark gold essence energy gun and pointed it at Ethan's forehead.
"Shorts, now!" Demanded Suki.
Ok, relax I was just joking. GUSH SUCH A BUMMER. BROTHER, I PITY YOU.
(click-clack) sound of the gun safety going off.
Hey, relax. don't kill me I didn't mean It. I'm still too young. Just don't shoot ok ill change it. I don't want to die yet. said Ethan while running away leaving a steaming Suki behind.
"Shall we go in?" Ask Veronica.
Blyana looked at night and spoke.
"I recommend we wait outside, Emperor Kaihen does not like it when other people trespass in his dream forest without his permission."
Night looked at the entrance. Then she went and found a nice little place not too far and sat down.
Even the shadow empress Night didn't want to provoke Emperor Kaihen. She clearly remembers the warning the head of the Loong family gave her.
"Night. you want to know why I let Suki marry out into the Selklor family? "asked the father of Suki.
"Selklor? "answered night.
Hahaha….. because of them?
"No night they are just little kids in front of this old man. They barely qualify to be in my presence."
"But Kaihen!"
"He is a very dangerous man, night. Even to me and even more so to you, a chosen."
"Be careful around him and be respectful. Don't overstep And don't anger him. Even I being the Dragon Emperor I watch myself around him. I have heard of the horrors of that monster. Secrets that only those of a certain level can know, but you should know that if the holy emperor is portrayed as the benevolent and a savior for humans he was the other face of that coin. A terror and nightmare for all human enemies. What happened and why that man chose to settle down, and here of all places I will never know. Keep in mind If you provoke him not even I can save your life."
Seeing that night took a place and sat down quietly, the other girls also sat down and waited.
Night silently thought…
"Kaihen hm…."
"What is it that can make the family head so afraid of you. I'm so curious."
