The sun peered through the curtains, birds were chirping and the wind was whistling. Flafe opened his eyes and got up, he still had his aching chest pain but it felt better than it was from yesterday. As he got up, he saw some food on a desk. There was a note. “Eat up!” Yawning, he started to eat.

     After eating, he equipped all his gear and exited his room. 

“Leaving so soon?” Asked the lady on the desk.

“Yes, I have to go somewhere,” Flafe replied

“That will be 12 Jabloons please.” reaching into his pockets, Flafe took out 12 Jabloons and gave them to the lady.

     Flafe opened the map and saw that if he had to get to the tree of life, he had to go through slimy swamp which was his next destination. It was close by so it wouldn’t take him too long to get there. As he ran he felt a sudden change in air, as if something bad was about to happen. It felt familiar.

     In the distance, he could see the swamp. An uneasy feeling crawled on his back. Flafe cautiously entered the swamp, there was an eerie silence. As flafe walked through the swamp he felt something touch his back, he turned round. No-one was there, he turned back. A tall, green figure loomed over Flafe.

“No, It can’t be you!”
