《The Lost World》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Some people just liked to watch the world born and it was up to Jasmine and her brother to save this world from the bad people that were in it. Her brother was standing right behind her, she could feel his hot breathe on her neck and then she started to walk a cross the bridge and her brother followed her. When was this going to be over? She knew it probably wasn’t going to be over soon. They had just started this journey and they had already been through some shit already. Jasmine and Bobby got to the other side of the bridge and they both noticed just a small hill, that is what they were standing on and more bridges. It was like they were being lead somewhere. Where could they be going? Probably into danger once again. Jasmine was going to lead the charge.
Jasmine kept a very heavy grip on her spiked mallet and she started walking over the bridges, Bobby followed behind and the only reason he was behind Jasmine was to keep her from getting attacked by any other bad guys. It was like he was the lone wolf, they always stayed a few feet behind the pack so they could defend it. He didn’t feel like talking and he continued looking around. Oddly, no creatures or robots were in the area. He did hear something buzzing up in the sky, he couldn’t see what it was. It was hidden by the blood red clouds in the sky. Yeah, they looked like blood now and not just fire. You know that feeling you get when your walking into a trap? He was getting that feeling. Maybe it was more of a bad vibe, he just knew some heavy shit was going to go down soon.

They went over a few more covered bridges until they came to the mouth of the burning forest. There was no heat coming off the forest, it just looked like it was on fire. Jasmine just stood there and looked at the mouth of the forest and she shook her head. Who could do this? She was actually getting mad and she wanted to fight something and luckily there wasn’t anything around. She would of went crazy and started fighting whatever she saw. She knew she had to make sure her health was good. You know this was different than actually playing a video game. If she was just playing a game, she could pause the game and take a little break. Maybe go grab a coffee or an energy drink and the refocus her energy to play the game. That wasn’t what this was. This was very real and scary.
Bobby looked at the mouth of the burning forest, he had a very serious look on his face. “Welcome to hell.” It’s true, hell couldn’t be worse than these. Nothing else could be worse than this. Bobby walked in front of Jasmine and started walking towards the burning forest. Should he call this area this? The Burning Forest. It sort of had a ring to it, when they fully entered the forest. He felt the energy change, it felt very dark and foreboding in the forest. He started to look around for places where bad guys could pop out and attack them.
He didn’t really find any. If there were any bad guys they probably would of popped out by now. So they continued to walk. They still felt like they were being taken somewhere by some sort of spirit. There was still that humming and swishing in the sky. Honestly, it sounded like an airship. Was something going to come down and attack them? Bobby wished he had more weapons besides his fists. His fists were not going to be able to defend an airship and whatever came off of it. Again, Bobby thought they were walking into a trap. He was just getting that vibe. He wasn’t going to say anything because he didn’t want to scare Jasmine. She probably knew something was up.

The ground started to shake a little – great, something was about to happen. What next? Snakes falling from the sky? He dug his feet into the ground and he was expecting an onslaught of robotic bad guys. Nothing came, maybe they were catching a break. Both of them looked into the distance and they saw another bridge and what looked like water. They couldn’t make out the color of the water. Most likely it was still blood red. They approached bridge and then they saw a silhouette of a person. There were people in this world?! Maybe they could both get some answer. This person looked back and had wings. Wait, was this person a freaking bird? They walked closer and the figure got clearer and that is what it was. A bird. It was about Jasmine’s size. She had to be about five feet tall. Bobby was a bear and had to be about seven feet tall. He was a bigger target and that is why he was in front of Jasmine for a little while.
Jasmine looked at Bobby. “Should we try to go say hi?”
Bobby shrugged. “It couldn’t hurt.” Yeah, it couldn’t hurt. That is all he could think up to say. For all they knew he could be some evil robot that had been sent to kill them. He was still leading the party so to say and he approached this new person and it looked like the bird was just staring off into the distance. Almost looked like he was waiting for something to happen. Like he was expecting a large scale invasion.
“You know I can see you, right?” The Bird spoke as he turned around and looked at Bobby. The Bird had dark eyes, a yellow beak and white fluff on his chest. He also had on a pair of knee high leather boots with straps on them. They had wheels on the bottom of them and both of his hands were covered in white gloves and he extended one had to Bobby. “Name is Skate.”
Skate, The Crow. It was an odd name and Bobby blinked and shook Skate’s hand and he was assuming that Skate was here because of the forest being on fire.

Keeper
When I first woke up I knew only three things: My name is Reiza, I have a seed I need to care for, and a song. I was told that the forest I woke up in was mine and that I needed to take control of it and protect it. The only things standing in my way are nature itself, a bunch of strange floating boxes, and a group of crazy powerful creatures known as the forest queens. Sounds pretty simple right? It might be if it weren't for the fact that I have absolutely zero memory, but hey at least I know my name. Also apparently my enemies aren't only inside the forest. Forces from the outside got news that somthing was going down in my new home and are coming to crash my party. Can I claim this forest? Can I protect it? And most importantly can I figure out who I am and what's going on? I'm not sure but I'm going to try. Hey everyone I'm fairly new to writing novles and this is my first time ever putting my work on a site like this one. I hope you enjoy the story and would appreciate your feedback. I would ask that you read through at least a couple of chapters before leaving a rating. I know I have some trouble with grammer and how I structure some of my sentences and while feedback on that is appreciated what I would value most is feedback on the story as a whole in terms of how the plot works and if you are enjoying it or not.
