Corizo kept his eyes open, fully staring at the sky, the moon has gone down and very soon it will be sunrise, beside him was Gloria who was having a little nap, because Corizo asked her to, he knew she needed it after all she's still a human girl.
some slight movements from Gloria made Corizo to glance at her, he noticed her waking up.
" finally you're awake" he said the moment she opened her eyes.
" where are we ?" she asked rubbing her sleepy eyes with the back of her hand .
" Verde valley " Corizo answered, he stood up and urge Gloria to do the same.
She stood up from the ground, dust her butt and looked up to the sky.
" it's morning " as if realizing something she began to jump up and down in excitement.
" it's morning, it's morning!!!!" she kept on screaming.
" will you quite it down, they might hear us " Corizo said, Gloria stop jumping but that doesn't mean she stop the giggling.
" so what now ?" Gloria asked.
" we'll be going to mystical island, that's where you will learn more about your powers as a mystical rider " Corizo explained, he shrugged his shoulders and began to walk towards the west.
" what about my brother ?" Gloria asked following behind him.
" he will be fine "
the two began to Walk with the rising sun above them.
********************
Lauren flattered her eyes open to noice Regina standing some distance away with the rising sun above her.
wait a minute
the sun.
it's Dawn.
Lauren happily shook the sleeping maximum and woke him up without knowing it.
" it's morning Max, it's morning "
" yeah, yeah alright it's morning " Maximum said sitting upright, he rested his back against an apple tree .
" we need to began our journey to mystical island now " Regina said coming closer to them.
Lauren greeted her which she acknowledge, she looked around her and so did the other two.
" is this some kind of Apple community ?" Lauren asked seeing how the place was filled with Apple trees which was surrounded them, no other tree was in view except for the apple tree which Lauren found appealing.
" you're actually right, this place is Ap meaning Apple paradise " Regina told her, Maximum nod in agreement.
" wow that's awesome, dose that mean that there is also orange paradise, watermelon paradise ?"
Regina busted out laughing while Maximum simply chuckled softly.
" No love, we don't have those " Maximum said, Lauren simply elbowed him for laughing at her, then she remembered something, she slightly raised Maximum's clothes to notice that the wound was completely gone like it wasn't even there in the first place.
" told ya I'ma be alright " Maximum said using his American accent, Lauren faked annoyance.
" I was worried for nothing " she pointed out Maximum laughed at her, before he dragged her close to himself.
" I love it when you worry about me, it shows that you care and love me " gently he kissed her lips.
Regina who was standing and watching the scene was slightly getting offended, like they should be moving , they should be traveling to mystical island now because it's going to be a long journey since they can't teleport Lauren there and unlike HK where you can teleport in without a way out except for the purple vortex mystical island is different, no way in with magic , no way out with magic, but no these two decided to take their time.
Maximum finally pulled away from the kiss, maybe because he has finally come to his senses.
" we have a long journey ahead of us bebe "
" THANK YOU!!!" Regina didn't know when she exclaimed out loud.
Maximum got up but when Lauren tried to she almost fell down back to the ground but thanks to Maximum's fast reflexes he was able to catch her.
" are you okay ?" his worried self asked.
" I feel a little dizzy " she said rubbing her temple.
Maximum lowered himself even more and ask her to get on his back which she complied to, Regina could only shake her head, she also puck few apples , seems like the lovers forgot that they're going to eat something during their journey.
" are you not coming ?" Lauren's voice called out to Regina,
" coming " she replied, shoving the last apple into her bag she followed them.
******************
" now where did that horse come from ?" Anita asked staring at the black horse before them, even Zkora was surprised, the horse for some reason seems to know where they are, is horse is strange and ao is Corizo the owner, just few minutes with him, she has already confirmed it, but what buffed her the most was the fact that she can't even remember what happened during her escape with him .
" I guess we just have to start going " Zkora said, she held the rein of the horse, trying to keep the horse steady.
" to where ?" priviler asked, Zkora glanced at her in annoyance.
" to mystical island "
" where am going to learn to master my powers " Priviler voice out .
Zkora eyed her from head to toe before choosing to ignore her .
" get on both of you " Zkora urged , the two girls obeyed by getting on tne horse.
„ what about you ?" Priviler asked.
" right behind you " Zkora replied, the horse began to ride away, when Anita who was sitting at the back turned she caught sight of Zkora riding on a white Fox.
hmm so there's also a Fox in this must world, Anita began to wonder what else exist in this world, and she will like to see it all,
this adventure, she's not going to miss it, she's going to participate in everything both the good and the bad, both during the journey of life and also during the journey of death, since this is like a life time experience.
As for Priviler, she was nervous, being thrown into a world she doesn't understand, a world which she never thought existed and not knowing what lies ahead or beneath was really enough to break her down, she held onto the rein of the horse urging to go ahead, a place where she doesn't know what awaits her, but still the hope is there, she hopes to survive whatever this is and then wake up to discover that everything was just a dream and her family are still alive and healthy.
