Chapter 3 - Returning of Legend

The ancient nature of Amphibians. There are so many secrets and mysticism in it. The strangeness and its pristine appearance, beauty and peace. Untouched plains and fields, food chains and animal species. Her beauty lies in her calmness. Having passed the path of evolution, jumping from one form to another, the Amphibia world as well as its nature have gone through many stages. Many hundreds of years ago, this world looked different. In those days there were other mountains, other creatures and different people. During these times, some structures were created that have become mysteries of the past for today's people. One of these buildings is the base of Alexander the "Valor Broadsword".

Started as a simple pit and ended as a stronghold hidden underground. Its secret doors, covered with moss and plants from the past time, finally let in air from outside after so many years.

Stepping on each step with renewed force, Alexander was ready to reveal himself to the world again, to go through the path that he did with each exit. To show what he is made of, to help those in need, to save lives, he will do it not only for others, but also to impress his young granddaughter.

« Hmm, I present to you a beautiful lands, or as I call it Amphibilend! » — loudly announcing, Raev laughed at his own performance. He turned around, expecting a reaction from his granddaughter and her friends, but they just looked at him funny.

« An amphibiland?» they asked unison.

« Not bad Grandpa, you were close. I haven't heard this place called that yet.» — His granddaughter added, « But where are we? I can't see anything from here.»

« So it works perfectly! You see, my dear, the arrangement and creation of an ideal place for the base I chose together with my comrades from far away... »

«Grandpa, I know what's going to happen now, I remember you telling these stories for hours from the army, and I know that you won't finis in time, so let's get out of here before the night!»

«And then?»

« And then I'll listen to your story.»

«Hooray~, this day is getting better and better! — almost dancing, Alexander crossed his arms, restraining himself.

Next to them, two Plantars were trying to consider the possibilities of solving the dilemma in which they were. And as these brothers and sisters were known, they were different in their views. Polly, as expected, suggested: « Mister Valor, let's use your broadsword to make our way, eh? You know how much fun it would be!»

And her more peaceful brother, a follower of adventures and complications of everything in a row: « Or go to that river over there! This is. much better, and I'm sure we can find so much interesting tthing!» Sprig suggested, nodding his head contentedly.

With a cheerful chuckle, Alexander decided to adhere to the opinion of the tadpole whose name is Polly, Anne introduced them while they were climbing. He slowly laid his shield on his back, reached for his sword with his other hand. Confidently pulling it out of its scabbard, a corresponding sound was heard in the area.

«Sorry, Sprig, but it will be better if we get you to your house faster.» — Raev upset a little boy, but one thought occurred to him, and he is sure that it will help him, « But how about you help me? I want you to give me an aerial view.»

Like little owls, all three children directed their gaze to the sky, but saw only the ends of tall trees.

«Grandpa, I don't think Sprig will be able to get there, of course I believe in him, but ...» — Anne reasoned, trying to protect her friend.

« Don't worry, my dear granddaughter, we can easily solve this dilemma, we just need to be prepared.»

«Prepared for what?»

« Let's do this! »— clearly wanting to break into something more interesting rather than standing in the woods, Sprig moved forward, and the sister standing next to him only supported the idea.

Alexander got down on one knee, stretched out his hand and said, «Get in, and on my command be ready. » — Raev got back up, looking around, trying to find the best angle.

« Now I'm throwing you high into the air, but don't be scare, I'll catch you. Try to see your house. Is that clear?»

«Yes sir!»

Gathering a little strength in the palm of his hand, without squeezing the Sprig, Alexander sat down a little. He did not clench his hand into a fist, so as not to cause unnecessary injury. He gave his granddaughter a grin, receiving an eye roll in response. Huh, she knew him so well. Her grandfather is definitely doing this to show his might and for another invitation to ride on his shoulders. He always asked for it then, and he's asking for it now. Grandpa still the same.

«Well, Sprig, about three, two, one and ... let's fly!» — with a small jump, adding more force to the throw, Alexander sent a little frog...

« Ugh, Grandpa, I think he is in a space. »

« Me next! Me next! »

I hope it's already clear who asked for a repeat of the trick. After a few seconds of silence, a scream was slowly gaining decibels from afar. The cry of a Sprig flying down at great speed and if no one catches it, it will turn into a croaking pancake, although, he definitely will not croak after that.

«AAHHHHHH»

Alexander crouched down and made a jump, shaking the ground at the same time, caught the boy in the air. And when landed, this jump make an earthquake, as in the beginning. Putting the trembling boy to his friends, Alexander cheerfully addressed him.

« Shall we do it again? »

« No! »,the answer came instantly

«Yes!» ,Polly shouted

«Grandpa?!»— Anne disapproved of this idea

As if nothing had happened, Alexander turned towards the forest, smiling softly. Clutching the sword in his hand, he asked the direction of the Sprig, and it was in a straight line. With a huge swing, crumpling a huge patch of greenery in his path, he carried a small part of the passage in front of them. « Follow me, kids» ! — and they trudged after him, but after a second they stopped, because the column blocked their way, this column was Alexander's leg.

«You know, I have a better idea, climb on my shoulder»

They Climbing up the exposed arm to them. They sat right on the shoulders, Sprig and Polly on the left, Anne on the right. And so they all walked together to their house. Well, Alexander walked, and kids just watched and admired Alexander's strength
