Cyber burst and the Mirage temple

Chapter 3: The Journey

After waking up somewhere that wasn’t his bed, Cyburst took a look at his surroundings. Realizing what happened the night before, his blood turned to ice. He got out and sat on top of his sleeping bag and thought. He has to venture into the Everfree forest! Everyone told him it was dangerous but never told him why. Where there scary monsters? Was the sky green? Could you even see the sky? Cyburst was so deep in thought that he didn’t notice that Candy corn had woken up and sneaked around his back.

“Boo!”

*Silence*

“I said, BOO!”

*More silence*

Cyburst was almost in a deathly state. Cyburst got scared you see, but he never shouted out unless really angry. Cyburst was 1,000 pounds lighter when he turned around and saw it was only Candy Corn.

“Candy, you scared me!”

“I… I did?”

“Yes, you did. But you know what’s even scarier? ”

“No, what?”

“AWORLDMADEUPONLYOFDONKEYS!!!”

Candy giggled, knowing that Cyburst was only kidding. She then remembered what she promised to do last night and her eyes widened with fear.

“D-do I still have to go to Froggy Bottom Bog t-today?”

“Yes, a-and I still have to go into th-the Everfree forest today.”

Before they got to say another word, Candy Corn’s parents came back down the stairs of the house and said it was time for Cyburst to go home. Cyber Burst reluctantly got up and packed his things and sat at the table to eat breakfast with Candy and her family. They two children sat next to each other and started to plan how they were going to get to their destinations.

“Ok Candy, you and I will meet at the border between the Froggy Bottom Bog and the Everfree Forest at noon.”

“Ok, and from there we will split up and search our respective areas for the places. If that’s alright with you, Cyburst?”

“Yes, and we won’t stop searching for them until we found proof that they do or don’t exist, Ok.”

“Ok”

During the rest of the breakfast, Candy gave Cyburst exact directions to the Everfree/Froggy bottom border. After the party of four finished eating breakfast, Cyburst’s mom came to pick him up and brought him home to let him unpack.

Cyber Burst unpacked and then got the only thing he thought he would need on his quest. After he got his Ursa Minor tightly in his mouth. He bravely ventured to the EverFree/ Froggy Bottom border when realized,

‘wait, what time is it?

Cyburst used the sun to judge the time. It was only eleven thirty! What was he going to do for the time being? He decided to scratch a note in the ground for Candy corn.

Candy,

           Gone ahead to find the place.

                             Cyburst

Cyburst didn’t know how to write the word “Building” because he was only five. He started to trot into the forest, noticing the pretty flowers and the trees. He actually never had gone into the Everfree forest before. He thought it wouldn’t be hard to get lost in a place he’d never been before. While thinking this, Cyber burst got another brilliant idea. If he dragged his left back hoof in the dirt that now made the forest floor, he could create a path for him to follow back. he thought that this was such a good idea that he started dragging his hoof immediately. The only problem with dragging your hoof in the dirt, it makes you go a lot slower than you would think.

After about an hour of his hopping, dragging motion which he has to do to keep his hoof on the ground, he saw the most beautiful flower in his life. (so far.) he went up to smell it, and it smelled ten times better than it looked. After he was done smelling the flower, which he could have done for ages, he notices something familiar, no, not like something he has known for a while, but something he subconsciously saw. The shape of the trees. The pattern of bushes on the side of the path. He had gone in a full circle! He was in so much shock that all he could do was say,

“Uh-oh”

He started to panic when he found this out. He looked left and right to see if he could see the bog. He couldn’t. He even looked up and then down. Once he saw the ground, that’s when he got scared. The ground had no trail on it. Not because he stopped dragging his hoof, but because he dragged his hoof so much he made the ground almost level. Once he looked back up, he was so scared he dropped his lucky stuffed Ursa Minor. Right in back of him. He could feel a Manticore looming over him.

He dared not look back. All he could do was swiftly pick up his Ursa Minor and run for dear life. He ran for at least a hundred feet before realizing that the Manticore didn’t give chase. Cyburst thought this was strange. He looked back to find that the Manticore was only a misshapen tree. Cyburst thought he may have accidently gone to the little boy’s room right then, but didn’t look down because now he was more lost than ever. He then thought that this was great. Candy said that the Building could only be found if the person was lost. He started to walk and surely enough, the ground eventually turned to sand. And right in front of him, was a large pyramid like building.

From where he was, he thought he could see the pyramid shift, left and right, then up and down. As if the pyramid itself was a wave.as he walked up to the wall of the pyramid, he could see that the building looked like it was used for terrace farming, but instead of dirt in the (with lack of a better term) place where the plants go, there was only sand. Upon reaching the top of one of the ninety one stair staircase, he found the entrance to the pyramid, an elevator with a pressure plate, and an inscription that read.
