Time passed and they were pushed themselves to the things they desire to see. They reached the foot of the mountain for the very first time of their life. Even their body were paled because of tiredness and fatigue, they continued walking till they reached the most beautiful placed.

Wearing a smile out of their tiredness, Jenny bring down her baggage and sat on the huge roots of the towering trees that growth at the foot of the mountain. Marcus walked toward her and do what Jenny did. Jasmine made a deep breath and let her heart to rest. After she felt that her heart beats normally, she take off all her things and stooped at the ground to know if there something that might placed her in dangered. When she notice that the ground was safe, she sat on the root of an huge trees. Claire rolled her eyes and tauntingly moved her lips as she saw some insects that flying at the cold air and there were crawling at the woods and leaves. She take off all her things and kept on standing at the dry ground. She felt itchy because of some insects that accidentally touched her legs as they flew. While Ken still looking for something that could be the place to let their tired body to take a rest.

Ken walked away from Marcus, Jenny, Jasmine and Claire to find nice place to make their DIY tent. As he walked, he notice that the peak of the mountain was too high to climb for almost a days. He get his mini book and think all strategies that they might do to conduct the research about the mysterious plants that only the forbidden forest had.

He looked everywhere, and a moment passed and he finally saw a better place that might be the place to laid for an hours.

He turned back where his team taking their rest. His voice echoed at the entire place. For that reason, Marcus and his team mates looked at the placed where the sound coming from. " Guys! Come with me!" He screamed far away while waving his hands.

Marcus stood and lead his hands to help Jenny to stand up. When they were prepared, they walked in common direction. Their were all quite minded following the command of Ken to go at the place where he was.

They reached the said place and it's nicer than before. They walked around and choose their location to take a rest. Claire took some make up inside her bag and fixed herself and she did not remember that the necklace that she hid was inside the bag. She continued getting inside her things and fixed herself. The necklace was fell on the ground and it covered by dry leaves and bushes.

After a while and Claire put back all things inside and the necklace remain at the ground. The time passed and the day seemed getting dark. The bluish color of the sky sudden become yellow with orange ray at the sky. They witnessed the sudden change of the sky that time. Jenny stood and stare at the sky same as Marcus,Jasmine and Claire. They widen their eyes as they saw how the time collapse for an instant of time.

Ken was walking alone to study the location that they choose to take their rest. He saw some interesting thing that sorrounded the whole place. There were thorny bushes that covered the towering trees seemed like they protecting each other.

Ken was amazed at the beauty that shown by the forest. He looked around and he noticed that the sorrounding was getting dark. He walked away and went back to their camp. Far away, he saw Marcus building his tent same as the three ladies who were preparing their own tent to build. He immediately walked down to the slope and helped his team to build the tent to become their shelter while conducting their research. After all tent were created, they go inside to take a rest.

The night was come and the sorrounding become colder. Jenny wore her jacket to feel warm. She took her tumbler that had a coffee and drunk it. She opened the zipper of the tent and she amazed as she saw the light that created by the fireflies at night. It's seemed like a thousand of gazing star at the galaxies which flew down to earth to enlighten the darkness of the sorrounding. She smile and wore her shoes and tightly closed her jacket. She stepped out on the tent and walked around. Because her tent was at the middle of Claire and Jasmine, she noticed that they were taking their rest.

She continued walking and from the distanced she saw the tent of Ken and Marcus which have light inside. She saw the shadow of Ken who was reading inside but when she stared at Marcus's tent, she did not find any shadow that could be considered as him. She billowed her eyebrows and thinking some thing that might bring her at the bad mood.

She drunk her coffee and gasped. She wanted to find Marcus but her mind wanted to explore that night. She made a couple of stepped away from the tent of his team member and watched the beauty that the fireflies made. She happily stared at the gazefull night that covered the whole forest. The chirp of the night bird beautify the silence of the nature who were sleeping.

She drunk her coffee once again and the tumbler become empty. She made another stepped and wanted to touch the thousand of lights at the front of her that made the tumbler to fall at the ground. She stooped below to look for her tumbler, but instead she find the tumbler,the things that she find was the shining thing that glow in the dark. She wandered at that things and she kneeled slowly, as she was too close enough to that thing, she groped the dry leaves that covered that thing. It's brighter than the thousand of fireflies and she was amazed because as he picked it up, she was attract by the glamorous golden necklace with crescent moon pendant that hanged on the middle of the lace. She stood quickly while staring at the beautiful things that she holding that time.
