Dark Truth

18

During our conversation, we stopped near one tree. It was hot and I could not bear the heat. I needed some rest.  I saw one couple kissing on the bench. They are so romantic. Beautiful day and beautiful love. I remember kissing Fran's lips. It was just like kissing peach. Juicy and sweet. I miss those lips.  I hope that we will kiss again after this. Tremor pointed to the sky. He wanted to show me their species of birds that they have. Again, even birds were a combination of our two species. Sparrow and mocking bird in one. Can you imagine that? Such a weird but beautiful world. After we rested, we continued our path. We came across one man who asked Tremor for some directions. Tremor explained to him that he did not have been here for a while so he had forgotten where everything was. I tried to speak to but the man seems to ignore me. The man went his way and Tremor said to me:

-“I told you, they won’t communicate with you.”

Yet again, I felt abandoned. Not even in this world, people wanna talk to me. I must say that I am blessed that I have Darius as my friend. He always visits me when he is most needed. While we were walking through the park one bird came to Tremor’s shoulders. The bird started singing. It was like an angel sang. A thought came to my mind. How come the ruler of this world is so cruel and yet he has this beautiful world? It was like putting the devil inside the angels' chorus.  Tremor looked at me and said that we really need to hurry and try not to stop anywhere anymore if we want to make it in time. He is still eager to help me even though it can cost his life. I am glad that he is with me. We came to the gate of the park that led to the lake that we needed to pass. We tried to open the gate but we could not. The sigh that was there, the golden one, said that the gate opens on itself every hour for thirty seconds. We did not even know how much time is it. I told Tremor that he should ask some people for the time. He replied that no one here knows what time it is because they don’t need one. They don’t have anything to do. So all we had to do now is sit and wait for the gate to open.

We waited and I felt like I have been waiting for ages. But, eventually, the gate opened itself.

-“We lost one more hour. I really hope that we will make it in time. – Tremor said.

We rushed a little bit. Now, our step counts as two. We rushed through the gate of the park and come to the lake that was wide as the ocean. How will we cross this lake? We could not swim for that long. Tremor said that he will try to find the way how can we cross the lake. He started asking around. No one wanted to go over there. They don’t have a reason. I spotted one old man sitting on the beach with a little ship that he had. It was those kinds of ships that only two people can come on it and be steady. I said to Tremor that he should go and talk to him. Tremor nodded and said to me that I should wait until he does that. I was looking from the distance. It was like they were arguing. It is not normal in this world to see two people arguing. Every person that walked pass them did not even look at them, not to mention tried to overhear the conversation. That is uncommon in my world. I remember when I walked by a two-man fight and I tried to overhear what were they fighting about. I always start with myself when it comes to judging. The tremor came back to me.

-“It is settled.” –he said. –“We are going with this man with his boat to pass this lake.” –he continued.

-“How did you arrange that to happen?” – I asked.

-“I needed to promise him some stuff that I will get him when we come back from the castle.” –he said. –“Something valuable for him. He wanted one vase from the house.”

-“Vase?” –I asked.

-“Yes, apparently that vase was a present to him when Fero decided that he wants it for decoration.” –he said.

I am right. They are afraid of Fero. All of them. They need to obey him. What he says that must come true. It was always like that. So he is the dictator here. I must stop him at once and save my precious Fran.

-“When are we going to sail?” –I asked.

-“In seventeen minutes.” –he said.

We waited. I was looking at the distance between the old man and his boat. He was preparing to sail and was taking some necessary stuff with him. It doesn’t matter how he looked like or what he said because he was ignoring me like the rest of the people here. When it was time to sail, we jumped to the ship and sailed away to the castle. I could see the castle In the distance. I guess we are going to sail for about an hour or two. The time is ticking.

Sailing gets you eventually in the middle of the lake. Everything around us was emerald blue. Sun is bouncing off the water and is making water sparkly. The water is unusually calm. I wished that I could see what kind of fishes existed here but there was no sign of them. I guess this is the dead sea. I wonder if it is salty. I grabbed some water to drink it but Tremor stopped me.

-“Are you insane?” –he was scared that I was about to drink this water.

I stunned.

-“You want to drink poisonous water?” –he asked.

Tremor explained to me that this lake was famous for its poison. There is no living creature in it and therefore no one dares to even look at the lake. Their ocean was different. I remembered then that we saw a bunch of people enjoying the other beach. This lake only exists to be one wonder of Tabular city.  I could have died.

We arrived near the castle. There was one more way that needed to be passed. The garden. We stepped out of the boat to wet sand. Tremor said to the old man that he will get him his vase as soon as possible. The old man nodded and that meant that he agrees. We stepped aside.

-“Is there anything I need to know about this garden?” –I asked Tremor.

-“Hm… Let me think.” –he started thinking trying to remember what was in the garden.

A tall and big gate was before us. I was a little bit scared of what is inside. When we were in the dining room hiding behind the curtain I only saw through the window a part of the garden. It was enormous.

-“I think there is something you need to know.” –Tremor said. –“It is about something regarding Fero's pets.”

-“Pets?” –I asked.

-“Oh, didn’t I mention? –Tremor laughed. –“He has pets in his garden. I think it was one snake, one wolf, and one hawk. But they are not anything like you think they are.” –he continued.

Great. I needed to confront those obstacles too. Is this adventure ever gonna end? I hope this will not be the bad end like it was in my hell. I need to prepare myself.

-“Shall we go in?” –I asked.

-“After you.” –Tremor said.

We went inside the garden. Oh, such beauty. I can’t help myself admiring everything here in this world. I wonder how his pets looked like. I started searching for them. Maybe they are friendly. If I have that thought maybe that will come true. After all, I have some of Fero's power. Tremor looked like he knew the way. He started walking towards the castle and I was following him. Pets were not found. Tremor also looked for them. He expects from them that they would jump and scare us. We found some bones on the green grass. I noticed that even the grass is greener here than in my world. If there are bones here that must mean that we are about to encounter Fero's wolf. As I assumed, so it happened. Wolf came and started to roar. He was trying to taunt us. He thought we were the enemies since he could not recognize any of us. Wolf was taller than me. I guess I should call it dire-wolf. It was enormous with big teeth and sparkly green eyes. His white fur was reminding me of snow and instantly I called him in my mind snowstorm. Suddenly, when I was expecting an attack, dire-wolf put his tongue at and started acting like he wanted to play. The dire-wolf recognized Tremor. They remember the smell. The dire-wolf lay on his back and put his paws up. He wanted the belly rub. The tremor started to pet him.

-“Who is the good boy?” –Tremor was saying like he was saying to a little baby.

-“You are a good boy.” –Tremor continued.

When he started speaking, the rest of the Feros pets came to us. The snake that was larger than a tree and a hawk that had wings more beautiful than Kanas. They were also white.

-“How come they are all white?” –I asked.

-“They are rare species that don’t exist anymore, not even in our world. They are last of their kind. It is hard to think about it. Makes me sad. After them, no one will remember them that they existed. It is a horrifying thought. –Tremor said with sadness in his voice.

The snake crawled around him and Hawk was at his shoulder.

-“I used to play with them all the time during my preparations for guardian job.” –Tremor said like he was missing that time. –“Those were the days.” –he continued.

It is a good thing that Tremor is with me. I would have to fight them if he was not around. This way, we can go faster to the castle knowing that they won’t hurt us. Tremor said goodbye to his childhood friends and we went through the garden to the castle. We finally arrived. Now it is time to be scared. We were about to face our destiny to see what will happen. I hope I win. I don’t want to die. I can’t be in my hell. Just when we were about to enter the castle we heard music playing from the garden.

-“Oh no.” –Tremor said. –“They were about to be wed in the garden. Come we must hurry.” –He said and ran towards the music.

I stunned. Come on my feet and go and save my precious little Fran. We need her. If we could not save our mother let us please save our love of our lives. Somehow I managed to get my feet to work. I started running too.
