Part 2 of Journey to the Five Mountains

Jane stared round to see towers of soil but no plants or inhabitants anywhere. Looking back across the rocky, misty shore all she saw was the sky ship sadly floating away into the distance. Like a knife to the heart, the shock of looking up to see flying oak tree was amazing. Towering over Jane the large tree sunk further and further to the ground. In the nick of time a weed grasped on to the rough surface of the tree pulling it up again before it squished Jane.

Why aren’t the plants allowed to touch the ground? While Jane was figuring that out, Benjamin was busy building a sand castle with very weak sand and it kept toppling over every time he built one.

Once Benjamin had given up on sandcastles, the blur came back. Well not a normal blur, it gathered dust and objects as it got closer. Mist hurdled over the floating oaks and leaves propelled of the trees, willows bent in the wind and as the island went dark the blur got closer and closer.

As Benjamin ran he got tired and had no choice but to rest for a few seconds and then carry on soon after, but Jane had other plans. She carried on. The two siblings ran as fast as their hearts desired, Benjamin tired and Jane desperate, panting and pacing to as far as they could go…

Smack!

Benjamin had run head first into a squishy and slimy liquid whereas Jane had bounced straight through, liquid seeping through the gaps of this odd structure.

As the dust slowly disappeared out of view the situation was easily discovered. The shining golden sun lunged into the sky creating the liquid to melt. Jane crept out, head to toe in juice and Benjamin rubbed his nose better. There was a whispering noise, strange and quiet. There was an animal with horns and a cat tail in the distance. The myth was true…
