Chapter 61 - Finally here.

The group walked out of the cave.

The air was thin, and it was carracing the skin of the group. It was cold and the sense of touch was very subtle. It felt like the strand of a feather was being brushed on their skin. The smell was also clear and refreshing, a mixture of cold petrichor and nature's turned soil, the scent of moss was also perceived.

A unique and enchanting ambiance could be heard, The dominant element of a waterfall's sound, the rush and roar of water cascading down. The water plunges from a lofty and majestic height, crashing into the pool of rocks and water below. The continuous rush of water was a melodic babble, creating a powerful and dynamic sound.

They were In front of the most beautiful scenery they had ever seen since they got to the planet.

They could see a waterfall plunging on the lush greenery on the rocky cliffs surrounding the waterfall. It was a moment of pure wonder, a glimpse of nature's majesty that captured their hearts and held them captive in its enchanting embrace.

The waterfall was a galaxy of rainbows, the first of its kind that had not been seen before. The group stood in awe of the breathtaking sight that greeted them. The light from the sky cascaded through the dense foliage above, illuminating a scene of pristine natural beauty.

There were little butterfly creatures that were flying in unison around the waterfall. They looked like a mix breed of human and a butterfly, their wings had the color of the waterfall, and they let out beautiful rhythms to communicate to each other.

"Woooow," Tyson said in wonder, the group felt the same way.

"Who would have thought a place like this would exist on this planet, it seems like everything is dangerous," Xadia told.

The creatures flew towards the group and they soon began to hurdle around everyone but Ivy, reasons unknown to the group, it was a moment that would be smeared in their memories.

The creatures choreographed their way to the water below the falls. Jasmine worked forward

"Since everyone is tired from the encounter in the tunnels, we would be camping here tonight," Jasmine announced.

"Reason being that the circle rune wasn't part of the journey's plan, and now that we are here, I need to retrace our steps and plan a new route," Jasmine explained.

"That's good, you get on right with it, sayonara" Jake said, he flung his top and down wear, he then ran past the cave cliff and did a forward dive into the water below.

"Wait for me," Tyson followed Jake holding both his legs while falling to the water.

"Please tell me you're not about to join them," Jasmine said to Xadia, he shrugged, he then pulled off his top and down wear, his shorts color soon changed into a bikini type design, it could detect the scenery just like Jake's and Tyson's, he soon dived into the water too.

"They're their own boy fun, let's go have our girl fun," Jasmine held Ivy's hand.

"Nice," Ivy nodded.

"The fun we're gonna have is, helping me set up the dome and basking in the science wonder world, yay," Jasmine exclaimed.

"Noooooo," Ivy groaned as Jasmine dragged her away.

The water was refreshing, honing two senses. It was warm and yet cold, and one's body succumbs to its blissful energy. The force plunged into the water and a wave of water splashed on Tyson who also just jumped.

Tyson heaved.

"I could stay here forever," Tyson said, floating above the water, his eyes dropped in pleasure.

"Me too, it's just so cool, and warm, at the same freaking time," Xadia closed his eyes and exclaimed, he also began to float like Tyson, they lay like cat's on a couch.

"Watch this," Tyson said as he alighted from lying on his back.

He summoned his two orbs and got in his spider form, he went up from where they jumped from. He then untethered the orbs from his back he directed one orb above his head, he then moved the other downwards to where Xadia was. Two tentacle rope forms shot out from each of the orbs, they then connected together.

Tyson then took wood from the ground and brought it above the tentacle rope like a trolley.

"Here I come," Tyson called.

He ran on the cliff holding on to his trolley stick, he then jumped off the cliff, ziplining into the water pool.

"That was awesome," Xadia bared his teeth. It was awesome, one thing Xadia knew and liked about Tyson was that he knew how to have some fun.

"Jake, did you see that?" Tyson asked, he looked to his side.

"Jake?" Xadia called, and scanned the water pool.

"He was just here," Tyson claimed.

Xadia looked at Tyson, he then dived into the water to see any sign of a struggling Jake, but instead a well sitted Jake could be seen underneath the water.

'How is he balanced in the water, he has that much weight? to think he'd try to cultivate here,' Xadia thought.

Bubbles soon begin to rise from Jake's mouth, he then alighted from his seated position and hurriedly swarmed upward, soon resurfacing above the water, he was breathing heavily.

"What's wrong, I thought you drowned," Tyson teased.

Xadia soon popped out too.

Tyson looked at Xadia. "What was he doing, was he drowning?" Tyson asked.

"No, he was cultivating," Xadia answered.

"Underwater?" Tyson looked at Jake.

"The water was calm and relaxing, so I thought I could cultivate, my concentration was pure, it was really working, I could feel every dense of energy in me."

"Well that is a smart idea, for someone who eats anything he sees that was very precocious of you, but losing your breath is inevitable, what stage are you?" Tyson asked.

"I was at the black energy core, but now I'm at the yellow stage, it feels golden than yellow," Jake replied.

Tyson paused, he let out a chuckle, it then converged to a wide laugh. "Black stage to yellow golden stage, you must be joking," Tyson continued to laugh.

"It felt like that," Jake said.

"That's impossible, you have to pass two stages to get there, and there has been know one to ever skip two core stages, you must have felt wrong," Tyson explained.

Jake closed his eyes and felt his energy core, he was sure it was golden.

"Now that you're here, check out this moves," Tyson said, and he went to redo his previous trick, only this time he did a Salto backward flip into the water.

The night came and they searched for the dome for the night. Morning came and the group continued their journey. This time with a new route, and Jasmine noted that they were very close to the energy crystal readings.

The group soon found themselves in front of a very flat mountain steep, it was completely vertical not giving any point to climb up.

"We're here, the crystal is up this steep," Jasmine looked up.

"Wow, it's really flat," Tyson noted. "Are steeps like this?"

"Not really, they are nearly flat cause of erosion and wind, but not to this extent, so I guess storms are frequent on this planet," Jasmine explained.

"It's not that flat, you have to be very fast if you want to climb it," Jake fixed his gaze on the rough edges that were on the steep. He then rushed at the mountain and jumped to land on the rough edges.

As soon as his feet touched the edge, a force from below lifted him up until he lost his balance and fell to the ground. "There you go again, you never learn don't you," Tyson face palmed.

Jasmine moved towards the steep, she held a stick and poked it to the steep. She could feel a force pushing it up, she then let go of the stick, it was horizontal to the wall, as if the steep wall held it.

"This wall has its own gravity pull, that's why he fell, we can climb up the wall. We just have to step on the steep and surrender to its pull, that way we'll be able to walk on it to the top, just don't fight its pull," Jasmine explained.

She stepped on the steep and fell to her back, she surrendered her body, and the pull caught her she then began to walk up, with a vein on her head. Blood was rushing to her head. The others soon joined and experienced the whole thing.

Jasmine soon reached the edge, and when she planted her feet on the top of the steep, a force pulled her up to her normal body rest on the planet. The others soon joined her on top of the steep.

The group could now see a medieval first structure twenty meters away from them. Jasmine's watch began to beep and they shifted their gaze to the right.

"There's the crystal, we're going home," Tyson exclaimed.

Ivy rushed towards the crystal to examine it, it was floating above a maze-type circle rune, and Ivy bent to examine it.

A lock type sound could be heard coming from the fort's door. It opened wide, and a eerie figure came out the door, a smiled formed on the figures face.
