The Forbidden Forest

The Bridge

The sun was still high and the cold breeze still blown. The beauty of the place was seen around. "Guys are we going to continued our journey or we are taking a rest all the time?" Will said while standing behind the other three who were sitting at the grass. Diana stared at Will while billowed her eyebrows and said, "Gosh! Will, you are so excited! Can you please joined us and felt the childhood memories while playing at the grassy land like this!" Diana responded. Will shrugged his shoulder and uttered, "okay okay... I will give you 20 mins to take you childhood memories..." He could not end up his words as he sudden stopped. " Ohhh why Will?" Celyn asked as she saw Will sudden stopped talking while looking at her watch. "Guys you don't believe me... B-but the hour that we have today is the time that we go for the journey." He frightening said. Celyn and the two other looked at each other seemed like they were shocked to the that unbelievable truth. " Really?" Diana said with doubt.

Suddenly, Brian made a jirky joke for a moment. " Maybe your watch is not functioning well same as my brain." Celyn laughed same as Diana."So insane." Diana uttered who still laughing.

Will wags his head and said, " guys enough that! I'm telling the truth, there is some unbelievable phenomenon that happened in this place!" Will stated.

"Hysttt, okay... but I'll check my phone first!" Diana added.

Diana took her phone inside her bag pack and turn it on.

"What?" She sudden said with shocked. " Is it really?" She added. Celyn was curious to what she heard and she took her phone and opened it the same. She was amazed to what she witnessed because her alarm was not snoozing and it seems like her birthday was not ended because the time collapsed and it was not the same to the time that they have in real world.

"Huh?,how it happened?" Celyn muttered. Diana scrolled her phone and computed the time. A moment later and she finally get the result of what she made." Guys it means that we travel at the same hour to our world through this...magnifecent place. But the question is how we travel so fast!" Diana asked wandering.

Will think very well, and he sudden spoke,"maybe there was a invisible passage way that able to bring us to this world and the storm and thunder that strike us are the key to enter the forbidden forest!" He proclaimed.

Celyn could not believe that fantastic things and she spoke with calm voice. " Guys! so it's mean that we are in the other world!"

Brian and two other nods their heads as agreement to what Celyn uttered. Will sat between Diana and Celyn while thinking the phenomenon that happened on them until he made some bright idea and sudden spoke toward the three." Guys if we will wait the sitting of the sun, we will consume almost a day if we followed our time zone in our real world. The best thing we do is to continue walking and explore while the sun did not set."

" You are right Will, but ahmmm...can we stay for a minute in this valley...look! Everything you see is wonderful!" Diana said with giggle in her lips. Will made a deep breath and said, " okay spend your minute guyss....hystttt!"

They wait until a minute that Diana wish for. They were happy sharing the best moment that they have in the wonderous place of said forbidden forest.

Moment later and they satisfied themselves to the magnifecent things they seen around. And minute passed and they get ready themselves to the next journey. They took their things and stood. Celyn was unbelievable to what she see because she rather know that everything around was the same things that her dream tells her.

"I thought I came in this place in my passed life!" She muttered. However, she continued following her troupe to reach the distance that they needed to go. The sun still shining and the green fields was dancing accompanied by the cold breeze that blown all around.

They passed through the grassy land and they smell the emission of the fragrant odor of the flowers that so rare. They successfully reached the river. They saw some peculiar fish that swam in the deep part of the river. They stooped on the river and they saw their appearance on the surface of the clear water.

Celyn looked at herself and she saw how beautiful her face was. She smile and as her shadow covered the surface of the water in the front of her, she saw an image inside. She stared on it carefully, and how wonderment she felt as she saw an human image that seems like sleeping under the water.

" Guysss! Look there were a human under!" She screamed to catch the attention of the other three which charmed by the bluish color of the water. They conformed to what Celyn told and they ran toward Celyn's place. Same as what Celyn did, they stooped under the water and stared the bottom of the river. They consumed almost a minutes but they did not find any thing that Celyn tell them. "Celyn, there is no other than fish and pebbles under the water, you become same as Brian..dont be paranoid Celyn whahhahaha." Diana said.

" B-but!" Celyn responded. "Celyn...maybe your image reflect under the water so that you see a human image on it!" Will explained. Without any words to say, Celyn let her eyes to see it and she nods her heads to what did the two told to her. " Ahmmm maybe, maybe it just my image." She briefly said. She stood and walked toward the bank of the river and silently sat on the rocks.

The three remain staring at the river and gazed the thousand of animals that freely swam under it. They were enjoyed watching them and Brian took some bread and be divided into pieces and threw it on them. The sun was shining and they decided again to continue the journey. They walked again and examined the place. Celyn was so timid because even now, she was could not erase on her mind everything that her dream told her because anywhere they go, she felt that there were someone looking at her secretly.

They looked around and they saw some highland and shaggey bushes around but on the other side of the river was the small weeds that growth with tiny colorful flowers. " Guys how we can cross the river if the stream is too strong to cross over." Brian said and as he continued, he point out the other side of the river and spoke. " That place is better way than the other and if we still remember, the river is flowed circled the forest and we have no choice than to find a better way!"

Will looked around seems like he looking for something that able to use to cross the river. He walked to the shuggey bushes to look some woods.

" We need to make a raft to cross the river but I need your corporation to make it earlybas possible." Will uttered. They were go to the shaggy bushes and look under it but they could not find any of those materials. " How damn this place! How we able to cross? Diana said as they could not see something around than dry bushes. " How if we go back to the entranced of the mountain so we can gathered some woods to make the raft." Brian proclaimed.

Diana and Will were about to agree to what Brian told as Celyn sudden spoke behind them. "Your suggestion is good but...I thought that it much better if we cross at that dry land." She said while staring at the river five meters away from the three. Diana together with the other two was suprised to what Celyn told to them. " Dry land?, Are you insane again Celyn? Diana uttered. Celyn stepped back and tuned her head toward the three who still amazed to what she told. "Come on guys and see it by your naked eyes!"Celyn calmly said and she walked toward the place where she found out the dry lands.

As they reached the location that Celyn told, they could not believe that there was a land bridge at the middle of the river that seemed like floating on the surface of the water. Their eyes was widely opened while pushing aside some bushes to see the dry land entirely. Celyn stepped on the bridge and after moment, she finally reached the other side of the river safety.

"Let's go guys!" She said excitedly as she saw Diana and the other two standing at the bank of the river. "Will go it first and we will followed you" Diana said with doubt because the dry land was for only one person and the water above it seems like stopped for awhile to give them a time to cross. "Ahmmm..Brian...can you go first!" Will said with frightening voice. As Brian heard his name he stared at the deep river and made a glanced at Celyn who still waiting them. "M-me...what the...!" He briefly said. However , even he was scared to cross at that bridge made by muds with frightening phenomenon that made the stream to lost its gravity to shuttle up in the cold air, he closed his eyes first and thought that it just a waved that he played before. He made a deep breath and as he opened his eyes, he heard the whispered of Diana who kept on cheering him up to cross. He made a couple of step and he finally reached the middle of the bridge. He balance himself to ensured that he would never fell down the deep river. A moment later and he felt that Diana and Will were followed him and he felt some couraged to walk again toward Celyn. " Go guys! You can make it go!" Celyn shouted.

Fortunetly, they reached the river by the used of dry land that wondrous prominent at the center of that river seemed like it giving way to them to cross the river without tradigy that happened through out their journey. Their breath was panting in fear and as they reached the end point of the bridges they jumped in grateful because they acrossed the river without any difficulty. They sat on the ground and laughed. " Whahahah! Nice challenge huh!" Diana uttered.

Celyn smile and suddenly, she remember the last of the unknown one which told her that she have no things to worry because it would guide her whenever she goes inside the forbidden forest to answer the question that bothered on her mind.

After a moment it paused, they were thought that the dry land was willfully created by someone and there was no other things that entered on their mind except that kind of assumption. When their heart beat normally, they stood again and continued their journey. From the distance they saw the perfect shape of the forest that the peak was covered by the clouds that showing it's greatness high above. Before they went to the prairie land that have lots of flowers that blooms, they stare first at the mountain that on the front of them. They vowed their heads and give praised and honor to the great forest to ensure that the place would let them to entered the forbid place. After that thing, they moved forward and continued what they stared to pursue their aims to find the body of Ken and his troupe and also to look for Jenny who dis not know if still alive or not. The sun was still shining but the breeze getting colder. They made their couple of stepped to the common place and without any hesitation. While they were all walking, Celyn thinking every details that the unknown one told her. She was diffenietly empty minded on what her dreams telling about. "Maybe my destiny is started right now, I know it or not, I will let myself to find out what's my destiny all about!" She muttered. She know that everything had a purpose and while she made her stepped, did not mind the chilling of her body instead she prayed for the guide and fate. She closed her eyes sudden and she wait the whispered of the wind to her ears but she felt that the unknown one lefted her and let her to find what she wanted to know. Their tired body and the drenched of cold sweat on their body was become the witnessed to their sacrifice inside the forest.

Before the sun was melted away, they reached the foot of the forbidden forest, and every stepped that Celyn made was the burden to her hearts and it could not restrain in beating even she did not felt any danger around. Her knees were trembled but she did not mind it and she always set on her mind that it just a product of tiredness. She looked around and the sweet smell of the flower tell her that she was welcome to the new worlds that she needed to encounter to find her own destiny.
