WHAT A JOURNEY: Chapter 31 – The End
Chapter 32
We got into the left path, it was quiet at first except for the singing birds.
The atmosphere made everyone scared, I mean why not, we’ve passed through a lot, so everyone was expecting the worst.
We got to a spot, dad signaled us to stop, we did.
There was a huge metal door standing right infront of us.
“Could this be the temple’s gate?” Kiwi asked.
“Is this where Marichuiy and I will answer a riddle?” Mum asked as well.
“Well I don’t know how temple gates look like but if there’s one thing I know, it’s tunnel doors and this one standing here is one of them” dad stated.
“How do we open it?” Salvador asked.
“How you open doors” dad replied. He walked to the door, held the both hands and pushed it with all his strength, the door opened only for us to be faced with complete darkness.
“Jesus Christ” Kira exclaimed.
“I never knew you knew Jesus, I thought you are the daughter of Jezebel” Ruby snarled at her.
“I thought she was the reincarnation of Morgana from Merlin’s movie” Henry added.
“Idlots” Kira fired at them, we all laughed.
“We all have flash lights in our backpacks” David reminded us.

We fished out our flash lights well except mum and dad. I gave dad mine cause I know he will take the lead, Salvador doesn’t look like he has the courage to go in there first.
“Do you guys really think entering this tunnel is a good idea” Kiwi asked with a paranoid voice.
“Kiwi this is the last path, it has to be through this tunnel, don’t worry we will be fine” mum assured her, she nodded and went to Ruby.
Dad took the lead, salvador followed, mum and Ricky followed and then the rest of us, while Salvador’s men came behind.
“Ricky join me here” dad called out to Ricky.
“Why?” Ricky asked.
“I don’t trust you” dad complained, mum looked behind and winked at us, we laughed, but the two ‘boys’ doesn’t know why.
“I don’t need your trust to be walking on my own” Ricky complained.
“Dude if I meet you back there, you will forever h*te me” dad threatened.
“Fine, I’ll join you, I don’t know what your problem is. Jeez” Ricky surrendered and went to join dad.

When he got there dad patted his shoulder. “Good choice” he said.
We walked through the tunnel for over an hour, I bet it’s already night outside.
“Ouch” david robbed his face.
“What is it?” I asked him.
“Cob webs” he complained, as he was robbing his face he mistakenly flashed his light up and there sat like a Thousand and one vampire bats which were once asleep but were awakened by David’s light.
“Guys” David called out.
“What Is it?” Dad asked him.
“Ruuuuuuuuuuunnnnn” we both screamed as the bats began their attack on us, everyone took to their heels, lucky for us we were almost close to the tunnel door.
Dad was the first to get out. “Come on guys” he screamed at us, when we finally got out, he pushed the door closed with the help of Ricky.
“That was insane” Kira breathed out.
“Why, those were your siblings, instead of you to join them in seeking for food, you were running” Ruby asked her.
“OK, I think it’s high time I dealt with you” Kira snapped, she wanted to bounce on him but Michael held her back.
“Save your beautiful knuckles babe, He’s not worth it” he said, Kira eyed Ruby while he gave her a mocking smile.
“Wow” I heard David breathe out.
“Its amazing” Kiwi added.
I turned around to know what they were wowing about, damn.
Below the valley laid a beautiful but abandon 17 century city, but the center of attraction was the magnificent golden temple which stood in the center of the city.
The temple was shimmering under the moon, and beside it laid a sleeping gimongous dragon.
“No wonder why they call it the dragon king” dad commented as he stared at the dragon.
“So that’s the Almighty temple that almost cost us our lives” Henry blurred out.
“Well what are we waiting for, let’s go down to it” Bathny screamed and wanted to rush of but Mum held her back.
“We can’t” Ricky and mum said at the same time.
“Why not?” Dad asked.
“Yea, why? The temple is just down the valley,it will only take us like two hours to get there.” I Backed up.
“Last time we came here, we got here at night. We tried to get down to the temple but after walking for hours, we realized we only went round the valley and ended up back at the gate of the city” mum explained.
“Well, that’s weird” I blurted out.
“Yea, pedro was so eager to get to the temple that he made us try it 3 times and still ended up at the gate” Ricky added.
“So we are to camp here until morning?” I asked mum.
“Yes baby, the most important thing is that we are here, we just have to wait for a few hours for daybreak” she assured me, I nodded and hugged her.
We all set down our backpacks and set camp.
