I was busy admiring the flying saucer which was a well designed transport.
Fiona explained,
"The metallic body immersed in spells which turned it into a protective shield. The upper body with appears to be like a glass is actually just some layers of crystal spells. Spacious and can carry tons of heavy material and is heavy armoured. It is still in its testing stage but we can still use it for travelling. We call it a "UDIFLER'."
"Udifler….."
The ride looked just like an UFO…. But a stylised one with some European designs on it. While we were busy observing it, Fiona changed into comfortable attire just like me. It was the first time I saw her wearing a shirt and trousers.
We entered it and sat on our sits. It was a specious one with all types of important things. The mechanism to drive it was very simple. It was a rod in front 2 sits. A crystal stone was situated on the top of it. Everything was powered with the help of magic. As Fiona put her hand on the crystal it glowed and all the systems were displayed on the glass protection just like modern tech. Fiona controlled the ride and took us in the respected directions.
We flew over the Ignis city suburbs which consisted of crowds. Then were flew over a crystal bridge between the city gates and mountain ranges. The mountain ranges were full of dense forests and some small villages can be seen from high above. After a long ride through mountain valleys we came across a huge mountain which was densely covered with fog all over.
"This fog is denser than it looks. You know what it is protecting?"Roger mockingly asked.
"[irritated] How would I know?"
"yes yes… This hug mountain has various treasure buried here. They are hidden very carefully as it is very difficult to even locate it. It is highly dangerous and deadly. I heard many people went missing or were found dead in the valley in an un-natural death. What happened is still a mystery…"
[nodding]
Passing the thick fog we reached a valley flourished with grasslands and big stones.
"Welcome to my land folks!" cheerfully greeted the dragon
We safely landed in the valley which was flourished with fire poppy all over the place. The dragon was very pleased to come back again.
"Next time if someone tries to capture you or something…. Just show them your real powers!"
Fiona stated to Dragon.
"Thank you. Lady Fiona. For helping me and bringing me back. Of course, I am grateful for your companions too." He greeted a farewell and went forward searching for his loved ones.
We got back into our udifler and flew ahead continuing our journey. We passed various grasslands, forests, mountains on our way. It was noon and we were very hungry. So, we stopped near the base of waterfall which was flourished with lilies and butterflies.
"It almost feels like I am in an fantasy novel. Or even better a HEAVEN."
What a Breeze!!
Fiona packed some lunch for us with her. We sat near the lilies and were busy eating while admiring the wonderful view. The trees near us were swinging at the rhythm of winding breeze. The leaves dancing in the air moved around us as if they were welcoming us to their place.
"They are happy that we are here…" Fiona claimed.
"huh?" I was a bit confused.
"Remember I am a Earth Fairy and I can understand the nature…"
"Ahhhh yes…"
Even thought the sun was high up in the sky, the waterfall beside made the atmosphere moisture, making it sooth and refreshing.
After our break we continued to our final destination. Passing some streams and white forest which only had white wood trees, we reached on a barren land like the one found in dessert area. After so many astonishing places covered with beauty, coming to this barren deserted land was a little disappointing. Some kilometres ahead was a pit as big as a lake. Before I could asked something Fiona drove there as fast as she can. Suddenly a volcano structure erected, in that area covering the pit fully. We had to fly over it. The mouth of volcano was covered with smoke and clouds when we went near it. While passing through it, an unexpected force pulled us down, inside its mouth. It was a very sudden situation. The Gravitation force was pulling us very fast … like an apple falling from the tree!!!! And just like that we crashed on a very big stone.. I think? … wait …a…STONE?
NOT AGAIN!!! A BLACK OUT?
"Ari….Ari…Ya…. Ariya…!"
[open eyes]
"huh!"
I was lying on my chest on an uneven ground. Fiona and Roger were beside me. I got with their support and sat on a stone. Most of it looked like a cave but the source of light was above our head.
"what happened! [look around] Are we in a cave?"
Fiona handed me some water and said,
"It is my first time too…. I always get away quickly and pass it … but today it was different…"
I drank the water and sat quite for a moment
("The volcano has a cave inside??? has it always been like that from inside? and what is she saying? It is her first time here?)
"Are both kidding with me?"
"Nope!. I never crashed here. We have to pass this volcano to reach the city. And every time it was quickly…but it is the first time we landed here…" roger stated regrettably.
" Is it my faulty?" I asked calmly.
"No dear. It is not your fault but our destiny. I guess there is something that we had to discover so we might have ended up here." Fiona consoled me.
She gave me a promising hug like a big sister and said,
"let us go and search for a way out."
We got up and went into different directions searching for a way out. The source of light was only from the mouth of cave. It was deem yet recognisable. It was hard to believe that we were inside a volcano as the uneven walls were covered with cripplers and climbers. The walls had various compartments but not an opening. Still going through every compartment I finally came across an opening.
"FIONA! ROGER! COME HERE!" I shouted.
They came running to me. We went through the opening with lead to a small pathway in the dark. It was creepy walking there. We even hear creepy sounds like some reptiles moving. Walking though we reached a place where light was popping in from the opening. Thankfully we got through the opening and what we saw an unbelievable site.
"Sweet cheese cracker!!!! [jaw dropping]"
