********
The World of Arollia, the sky was painted that strange salmon pink, clouds hung idle in the sky. The sights and smells of the forest were always special. It was spring; the rain and sun had worked its usual magic on the plantlife. Everything was in full growth because it was too soon yet for the country to start drying out. Numerous small creeks could be heard making their way down to meet their larger brethren and the soil and compost beneath a pair of paws was moist and smelled delightfully earthy and alive.
“My feet are hurting, cant we stop Jasmine?” asked a voice.
A wolf/cheetah hybrid came along the trail, she was covered in a close cropped black fur with white spots, white chest. She was wearing blue bodysuit with a tan tunic worn over it.
“Hmm yes we should stop it’s getting late for any more traveling Arden”
Arden Silverbrook shrugged and let the camping roll fall to the floor, the calico furred feline started to put up the tent, he was sure he spotted something in the nearby bushes but wasn’t sure what it was. He was wearing black bodysuit with a tan tunic worn over it. Jasmine or Jazz to her friends started to gather stones for the fire. After a small while the two were ready, above the stars shone down. Arden or Ardy to his friends put a small kettle on to the fire.
“Cup of tea?”
“Please, I managed to catch some fish in the stream nearby. We should clean and gut them and get sorted with the canteens”
********
The fish supper quite hit the spot, the two had been talking but they felt like something was watching them. A pair of eyes could be seen and Jasmine raised an eyebrow.
“Whatever you are move from the bushes and into the light slowly” Arden commented.
A blue object came out of the nearby bushes, it settled it’s self out and looked at the pair, it was joined by a green friend. They where about a foot high, they had a small beak, cat like ears a shot tail and what looked like the feet of a bird.
“What the hell are you?” questioned Arden.
Jasmine grinned she knew what the little colourful little fellows were, one had red fur the other green.
“Haha they are lops, they are only found on Anonia” explained Jasmine.
“Yes, yes we’re lops..what’s this?” asked the green one.
The green lop was soon pecking at what looked like a small pile of objects in one of the packs. The lops head was inside it and it was pecking away.
“Hey stop eating our supplies!” Arden commented.
The lop looked up and giggled before hopping away a little from the bag.
“You know I should get some sleep” Jazmine replied.
The two lops watched the pair as they got ready and went to sleep in the tent.
********
The day had dawned still and clear. There was a chilly bite to the air that made it all the more refreshing. Arden was feeling the slight bite of the air a litte. The two packed up the tent and began their hike. The hike would soon warm him up and the weather promised another hot day. There was no rush, and we could take greater care negotiating the path, the trees shaded their way along for the most part till they cleared the forest into the warm open area. The sunlight was reflecting off ripples on the lake to the east and a flock of birds was noisily making its way to some feeding site. Everywhere else was virtually unbroken green and to the two it was beautiful.
Maron pass was ahead of the two they needed to be careful, you could find creatures and sometimes if you were very unlucky then you might run into brigands. After about an hour of walking, the trail started winding its way down the mountainside and out of the pass. The two stopped to have a snack, backpacks where put on the ground. A head the valley opened up into a small strand of trees, something was moving in them.
“Let’s get em boys!” a voice shouted.
Several beings came out they where all shades of red and a very dark blue. They had two small horns on the top of the body, a large mouth and a pair of legs. A patch of hair could be seen between the horns. Jasmine and Arden took one look at them and picked up and ran, they ran and ran towards the valley.
As the creatures chased Jasmine and Arden the pair near knocked into a Perlan. Perlans were strange they looked very much like humans this one was busy collecting firewood. He had white hair was slightly balding, wearing a blue shirt and pants with black shoes, he had on a lab coat with several objects in his pockets. As Jasmine and Arden passed him he looked around.
“Help!” shouted Arden.
“Hmmm oh dear...plibs you ran into plibs, yes well here’s one for you, one for you and lets not forget you either”
As he said this he put a stick into each open mouth when half the sticks he had collected had gone the plibs turned tail and ran away.
“Thank you Sir you saved our lives” commented Jasmine.
“Umm think nothing of it, I’d do anything for my guests. Hmm yes and good riddance to the little scoundrels...now we should really um, yes return to my home, I’m Newton Gizmo by the way, I’m an inventor”
“Thank you for your help, I’m Jasmine and this is Arden”
“Ummm nice to meet you”
“We’ve come from Anders Valley on Ranonia, we’re on a great adventure to find the lost city of Ut” explained Jasmine.
“Well umm, well then why don’t we go over to my house and get a bite of lunch” answered Newton.
********
Newton’s house revealed it’s self to be a large cottage in the valley, from what he had been saying he lived mostly on his own in the area, he did have one neighbour who was more of a nuciance than anything.
“Well anyone heading to the valley is normally coming to see me” explained Newton.
Jasmine brought out a map it showed the entire continent, including the islands that she and Arden had come from. On the bottom of the map was some writing, it said: Where sky and water meet, Where the waves grow sweet, Doubt not, You will find all you seek.
“Hmm well yes it’s not a lot to go on..umm Jasmine..is there anything else?”
“Well just this half medalion it is missing the rest”
Jasmine pulled a necklace from around her neck and showed it to Newton it had three words: Spirit, Treasure, Ledge.
“Mmm yes well if this map is correct, it seems to be an old map so I would think it is the map is pointing to the city of Ut, that is quite a trek, even from here….perhaps my new invention can umm help” commented.
There was a sudden boom as something hit the ground some distance away. A few motions of dust dropped to the floor. Jasmine and Arden went outside, about twenty meters away was a little hole.
“Hmm seems my neighbour is still taking a pop at the cottage, he’s never hit anything umm I doubt he ever will, we’re quite safe. Hmm yes well with my new invention we can float umm perhaps I should say fly over the deception mountains which are indubitably on the map”
“Perhaps we should start out tomorrow, we’ll need supplies and others things” Arden advised.
“That’s true enough, why not come with us Newton, we can share the treasure”
********
Not far from Newton’s house a telescope was looking over the valley. The tiger using it was named Jack Dikta, he was wearing a purple robe fastened with a golden clasp , he kept watching the cottage.
“Why, why can’t I turn lead into gold, I mean Newton always has the ingredients I need. Bean where are you, you worthless Plib!”
“Yeah yeah, I’m coming, I’m coming!”
A yellow Plib with brown hair came into the room, the tower looked over the valley where Newton lived.
“Where have you been?”
“Arn’t ya gonna ask me about my news Boss?”
“What news!”
“Newton’s got visitors and they have a map to the city of Ut, seems they are going there in the morning...something about a treasure”
“Treasure...are you sure Bean?”
“Yeah heard them talking about it when I and the boys tried to scare Newton out the valley…”
“This changes everything...with a treasure I could even get into...dare I say it the villain and blackguard organisation!”
“Rigght...going on ya current plans of turning lead into gold I wont hold my breath”
“What was that?”
“Sorry I was saying you better hurry up before you get old”
“See if you can get that map Bean!”
“Yeah, yeah I’ll try” replied Bean.
********
Bean watch for his chance the Plib had managed to make his way down from the tower and close to Newton’s cottage. The night was closing in and dusk had already taken the valley. Perhaps it was a little to easy. Bean listened as he sat carefully, easing a window open he settled himself on the floor, With a few easy movement he brought out a false map from a small bag and replaced the real map with it. He grinned left the cottage and made his way back to Dikta’s tower.
