As the forbidden scroll unravelled before them, everyone took a step back. April held her breath, and it seemed as though all the warriors around her were holding theirs too. ‘The past held mighty wars between palaces, everyone was forced to flee to the forest. We were powerful and strong. We fought for our citizens and brought peace between us all. But one day, it all ended. Once the elder guardians came, bad things began. The war lasted two years. We thought it was over, balance restored, until the Matric guardian. Destroying all hope, slaughtering our entire community. Our city crumbled, our hope going with it. That is why we’ve hidden all these years,’ spoke the king. 

Meanwhile, the Captain was sprinting through the long hallway of ancient artifacts. He was so worried about finding April that he felt his heart racing more than ever. 

Leaving the library of legends, April and the Jades headed to the core of the palace where the lake of warriors lay. In the middle, floated the most sacred item known to Jades, the Ultra Sphere. Legend had it that this artifact had the power to recreate the Earth or bring destruction to all life in the solar system. The Jades had been looking through the Ultra Sphere for the crew’s entire journey and sent them home with a gift.

The Captain suddenly saw a bright glow through a closed door. Slowly creeping in, he saw April, as a goddess! She had a beautiful white dress with golden flowing hair and a soft, echoing voice. She was warm with a golden tinted glow around her body. She had been blessed.

Flying the Captain back to the skyship, she talked to the Jades through her eyes; the power she had been granted was a permanent transformation. She could recreate the Earth! All because her mind was now the Ultra Sphere. Her next mission was to see her brother once again.

After returning her father to the Black Plague, she headed to a snowy mountain, where a boy named Owen now lived again. She flew him back to the Black Plague, heading home. Landing in a beautiful sunny area, on the shoreline of a beach, in the crystal clear water of a coral reef, was the gang. They had made it home.

April was proud. She was immortal now, doing good deeds and giving birth to new life and planets. She had recreated the Jade city and had the power to change the world, but the best part of all was, she had brought her brother back to life.

Running in the direction of April’s last appearance, Captain Oschó feared he would lose her once and for all. What made him most worried, however, was April was in fact the Captain’s daughter. Dashing through the dense forest into a rocky area, he saw a magnificent structure. He caught a glimpse of April speedily approaching the entrance to the Jade Palace. He accelerated rapidly towards his daughter, concerned about the secrets of the past that might lie within. April, on the other hand, was quite enjoying the experience. She had always thought of life as a jigsaw puzzle, and this was the next piece. Finally, she arrived at the ancient forbidden palace of mighty warriors. April was greeted by the guards, the warriors, and the almighty Matriculation King. She was the first visitor to enter the temple in 58 years. The secrets of the Jade Palace unfolded before her and a reflection of the past was finally touched. All the Jades gathered for a forbidden secret. 

After a recent landing, the crew left the Black Plague in order to get used to their now murky and mysterious surroundings. As Captain Oschó left the skyship, he stopped to think about what had happened earlier with the matric guardian. While he fought for control over the ship, Owen and April were forced to battle with only each other. Was that why Owen jumped off, because of how difficult the challenge seemed to prove? Or was it simply because he was not prepared to keep April in danger for so long? Overall, the question was so confusing, that he decided it was best not to ponder about it.

April was now alone on the skyship, crying softly at the thought of what the future might hold, with Owen, as a puddle, slowly evaporating when memories of him were in the minds of his loved ones. However, if the best memory was ever to be touched, visions of him would be projected into the minds of all who loved him, slowly progressing to one final wish to release Owen from his dead body. His spirit would undermine the Earth and create new life, forming new memories, thoughts and life, all powered by the sacred item…    His family Tree.

Trying not to think about the rough times ahead, April marched on, ready to face whatever challenge stood in her path. Eventually, they found signs of previous humans attempting to make a home here. Mossy cobblestone buildings that once must have been beautiful now lay in ruins. Pillars stood weak, some even cracked and crumbled far beyond repair. It was evident that human inhabitants were definitely not meant for this overgrown swamp. Clearly they were not in the right atmospheric area either judging by all the fog, dead corpses, now skeletons, and the eerie silence that had fallen upon them.

Suddenly, the ground shook. Captain Oschó saw a gigantic hill slowly moving closer to the group, rumbling as it came. It had sensed their arrival. 

When the Captain turned round, he saw no April…

Have you ever gone on holiday? To a warm sunny climate with a luxurious hotel? You have? Ok, how about a winter wonderland with whirling blizzards and igloos? With snowmen and angels and snowball fights and dens? Yes? Well, this is less of a holiday, and more of a dangerous exploration to the marshy swamps of the great matric river located deep in the heart of the cubed plains, in Moncravia.

As the other participants of the black plague boarded, Owen hung back and stared at the skyship, knowing that something was lurking up there, awaiting discovery. His younger sister, April, was excited to finally be flying high in the sky for hours upon end with the roaring wind blowing straight into her smooth, rosy and chilly face. The only downside to this experience though, was that there were dark, black clouds filling the air, blocking out the only source of light, the moon. That’s right, they were camouflaged in military clothing on a mostly black ship with tints of bright, limy yellow as a strip on the lower left and right side of the ship’s bow, the tailfin, and the small pectoral fins for gliding. A rough ride was clearly their  next challenge to face.

Captain Oschó slowly arose the black plague and yelled, ‘risin’ ‘er up, ‘old tight!’ Obediently, the two children gripped the poles fiercely, as the captain full – throttled the threatening engines. It was mid flight that they had to face a storm cloud in their way, but, It was in those seconds that Owen realised. He realised what had been awaiting their arrival all these hours, The Matric Guardian…            … They had found it. Cube shaped and dangerous, floating strongly in the air with his electrified trident. It was simple. Take out the trident, take out the guardian. Although the difficulty proved to be the greater challenge. His breath was a lightning storm. Even Captain Oschó was fighting for control over the ship with this beast around. Sadly though, sacrifices must be made and so now the two crew members, Captain Oschó and April had to say goodbye to Owen once and for all as he sacrificed his own life for the survival of theirs, and luckily, his life ended with victory. The trident and guardian were no more. And so with that, they landed, yet to discover what was next to come…
