AGAINST THE TIME

CHAPTER 5

They continued to walk until they reached the center of the Elysian Fields, the CRUTOS tree.

 “Woah…” They all gasped in unison as the tree stood glorious in front of them

 “I... I can’t believe this! I’ve only seen these things online!” Angelo exclaimed as his smiles widen, they stood there watching the CRUTOS tree glowing.

 “Be careful, any liquid that touches it OR gets close to it, will turn into smoke” Zhoaripus warned Marcus took a fruit from the tree first. The moment he took a bite, his eyes lit up. “The taste is filled with sweetness I can’t describe.”

He said as he chewed Seeing Marucs eating it, the rest gathered some and decided to take a bite too. “It’s kind of too sweet for me…” Angelo said and took a bottle of water from their bag.

“Don’t open that” Zhoaripus said Despite Zhoaripus’ warnings, Angelo opened it. To his surprise, the water lift itself into the air and approached the tree, eventually evaporated.

“Listen to me and heed my warnings, don’t open any drink unless necessary right now, we might not have any more left and we are far from finishing this journey” he said

The group stayed silent and continued to walk to the Asphodel fields. They got into the boat and crossed the MNEMOSYN river. Many dead souls were in the river, trying to get to land. “This might be the scariest thing I’ve ever seen” Samara said

“Since Mnemosyne Is the goddess of memory, this is where souls who have been forgotten go to.” Zhoaripus said “But don’t worry, Tartarus is much worse” He smiles at them as they floated on top of the forgotten souls
