WHAT A JOURNEY: Chapter 1 – The End
Salvador turned to him “hey guys, what’s up, can we have a chat at my mansion” he repeated.
“Well its too late now” he screamed at him while we all tried to surpress our laughter.
“there was a guy who gave my mum the book 3 years ago, she had the box but the man gave her the book, who was that man?” Marichuiy asked out of the blue.
“No, she took the both things from the temple, she tried to get rid of the book by burning it in my brother’s lab just because she couldn’t understand anything in it.
And that man was the dragon lord, I’m guessing the spirit of the dragon lured him to the book, he saved it and brought it back to your mum and asked him to take it back to the temple” Salvador explained.
“So that was why she was begging him that day”
“But why couldn’t the dragon lord take the book and the box back to the temple with him” Bathny asked.
“He wanted to punish the offender.” Salvador replied.
“But wait, back up everyone, if this story was 300 years ago, how is it possible that the dragon lord is still alive?” Kiwi surprisingly asked.

“Ever since I got to know you, this is the smartest question you’ve ever asked” Henry said to her and she rolled her eyes at him.
“Sincerely speaking, I haven’t thought of that” Salvador said as he touched his beards.
“Maybe the dragon gave him immortality power before he fell asleep” Ruby stated.
“Or maybe he can’t die” Michael added.
“I’m gonna support this one that looks like a penguin” Salvador pointed at Ruby.
“Umh the name is Ruby” Ruby corrected but Salvador didn’t pay attention to him.
“Well, whether he is immortal or not, I don’t care…” Marichuiy blurted out. “And you sir, you said you didn’t believe this story at first, So why did you bring us here?” She asked Salvador.
“I wanted to Use you to get to your mother, so that she could take me there but now you are completely useless to me since you don’t know where your mother is, I don’t know if I can kill you now or…”
“What!” Kira, Michael, Henry and Ruby exclaimed.
“But why do you so much want to go there, you never cared?” I asked him.
“Because I want gold, a lot of gold” he screamed.
“But sir you are already rich” Kiwi mumbled with her cute tiny voice.
“Oh, sweetheart, you are so adorable…..” Salvador said as he caressed Kiwi’s cheek, I felt like killing him, how dare he. “Maybe when you grow up, you will realize that being rich is never enough” he stated and tapped her.
“Never touch her again” I warned him and he shrugged.
“I thought you were a good guy” Bathny asked.
“Didn’t you hear when I said I chose to be bad or did it skip your memories?” He fired at us. He turned back to Maricbuiy and asked. “Now how are we gonna find your mum so that we can kill two birds with one stone, you get free from the curse while I get the golds”
“If I knew how to find her, would I be asking you?” Marichuiy asked back.
“But wait, you said you stole the book from Your brother’s lab….?” I asked Salvador.
“Yes, why” he asked.
“And Chuiy you said your mum took the book when she left?” I asked her but she twisted her brows at me.
“I’m sorry chuiy?, did you just call me chuiy?” She asked with an amused smile.
“Just answer the question” I smiled back.
“Yes she did” she replied.
“And if Salvador saw the map in his brother’s lab, that means…..”
“My mother was in the lab” she completed my thought.
“Great, see we are making progress, the Earlie we find her, the better for us all, I’m gonna call my brother and ask him” Salvador stated, he stretched out his hand, one of the guards gave him a phone, he typed on it and them placed it his on his lap.
“Hello” a deep voice of a man spoke from the receiver.
“Pedro, been a while brother” he greeted.
“Urgh, please not you again, why are you calling me?” Pedro asked him in a little bit of anger. Seems like they are not in good terms.
“I just want to ask you one thing, please there’s a woman who was in your team that time you went for that temple search 16 years ago, you probably still know her”
“Only one woman went there with us, why do you ask, have you been admiring her?” Pedro asked, I tried not to laugh while Marichuiy surpressed her anger.
“What! No!, what’s her name”
“Clara, why are you asking Salvador, I don’t trust you” Pedro complained.
“Chill brother, i mean no harm, have you seen her in the past 3 years?”
“Well, she came here about 2 years ago asking for the map of Kuluvanda, she had taken something she shouldn’t have taken and she wanted to return it, I gave her the map but I didn’t want to go with her, going back there is suicide mission, we barely survived the last one, she should carry her cross” Pedro explained, I saw tears roll down Marichuiy’s cheeks, I went to her and held her to my chest why she sobs.
“How long does it take to get there?” Salvador asked.
Pedro was quiet for a while before speaking up. “Salvador what are you up to, why do you suddenly care about that temple?”
“Just tell me”
“Well, it took us a week to get to the temple, and that because we were many and well equipped for jungle travel, we were a team and we always look out for each other, but for two people like Clara and her husband, it might take 3 weeks especially when they don’t get along, they were fighting like cat and rat when they left my lab”
“Her husband” Marichuiy sprang up and slipped out of my hands. “Did he say her husband, as in my dad?” She asked.
“Maybe, or does your mother have another husband” Salvador replied.
“Who’s that?” Pedro asked.
“No one you should know, Pedro is there a way we can get a copy of that map?”
“Say please” Pedro instructed.
“That will never happen” Salvador stated with pride.
“OK, have a nice day”
“Just say please” we all screamed at him.
“Fine, please Pedro”
“Good, I’ll send it to your mail”
“Excellent” Salvador said and hung up.
“But wait, it’s been two years, how come your parents are not yet back?” Kira finally asked like a normal human being.
“And how come they left the book and the box in the lab?” Bathny added.
“We will find out when we see them, brace up and get ready kids, we are going to the jungle…..” Pedro announced.
“Whaaaaat” we all exclaimed.
