  The Swamp The first thing that hit Cari and Ryo was the disorientating smell. They started to feel slightly dizzy and their minds became slightly dulled. As they walked on the smell became more potent and this caused them to feel more and more dizzy and their minds became numb and their thoughts could not focus on anything. This caused them to have to take a break so that they could adjust. "Are you sure that we have to go down this route?" "Ryo's right. I don't think that this is the best way." The Chronicler looked to the left as she thought for a moment. "Here." She said taking out two blue bottles. "Sorry, it only works on you if you are disorientated." Both narrowed their eyes and they looked at each other and shrugged before they drank the liquid. It tasted strange, like the perfect mix of honey and mint. It worked for after a minute or two and the stench grew and their minds became as sharp as a sword. "That is better by far...

  The Field Of Whispers When they set foot on the lush damp green grass, they could sense that there was something strange about the place. As they walked on the feeling intensified. They soon could hear strange whisperings all around them. However they knew that they could not be doing it and there was none else that was there. "Where's that whispering coming from?" Ryo asked. "I cannot say that I know. I don't remember hearing any the last time I was here." "And how long ago was that?" "About one hundred years ago, give or take a couple of months. I thought that the route would change that much." "Hold on,  do you honestly not know how much can change within a hundred years?" "Not that much really." Ryo shook his head as the whispers became louder and the words became more distinct. " They do not love you. They are only using you, just like your father and mother and step mother." Ryo frowned. What is that ...

  The Serpent God They entered a chamber where there was a pool of water traveling around the rim of the room. There were many skeletons piled at all the four corners of the room. Some of then were smaller than others, in fact some were the skeletons of infants and some bones belonged to young people far too small to be babies that had seen the light of day. They had to force themselves to look away as they walked on. They walked over a small bridge and their eyes laid upon a tall man with long black hair and light green eyes, in fact he looked like the snake lady just as a man. They looked so much alike that Cari would not have been surprised if they had been related. "Welcome travellers!" He said with a deep and commanding voice. They pulled out their weapons and looked at him. He raised an eyebrow as he smirked. "Not very talkative I see." "We are here to stop you from killing the women and children of the villagers and the destruction of their boats....

  The Temple Riddles They ate a light snack as they walked down a long corridor all shaped out of snakes, even the doorframe seemed to be made out of snakes with their bodies parting into the shape of an entrance. There they saw a wall of snakes, where there was a crossroads. In front of them were several snakes that had runes on them that Ryo and Cari could not read. "Can you read these?" Cari asked. "Yes." "What does it say?" "One leads to thine death With my lethal crystal meth The other leads to my fang Where thine corpse shall hang Regardless either way thee will meet thine end The only choice is which door death shall send Left it up to thee Choose or flee" As if that helps! It hardly tells us that much! Let alone which is the path to Syssighhin! Cari sighed as she rubbed her eyes. What would Scar do in this situation? She then thought about what it said and then looked closely at the snakes and she noticed that there was room behind it. Sh...

  Jungle Journey They landed in front of a jungle. It was very hot though there was more than welcome moisture in the air. They rose to their feet only to see a makeshift sign post wedged into the overgrowth. Jenrahjah Jungle "Jenrahjah Jungle?" "Jenrah shah!" The Chronicler corrected. He nodded. "What should we expect in this?" "Nothing if we keep to the path and as far as I know." "Yet if that scorpion lady was speaking the truth, then it should be said that it could not harm to keep your guard up." They nodded as they walked on the path and entered the jungle. They walked on the white gravel and as they noticed that they walked on a river bent and ran parallel to the road. As they walked on the river became wider. Soon Cari noticed strange rocks in the river that were in the water. They looked similar to dragon scales but not as beautiful. This told her that they were not rocks at all.  She then spotted strange bugs that had four win...
