《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 13 (Part 3)
Advertisement
Back in the Land of the Unknown, Antonio, Tommy, Maggie, and Ruth crawled out of the monolith in exhaustion. As they emerged, they saw the area looked like a forest again instead of the Rocky Mountains with fog. Maggie also noticed Ringo and Riley walking around a pool of water as if on guard duty, making sure no one suspicious showed up.
“Guys, we’re back!” She called out to them. The Thescelotitans turned to see the others have made it back safe and sound. “Did you miss us?” Maggie chirped.
The two dinosaurs nodded as they rushed over to give everyone a snug cuddle, all except Antonio, who kept his distance away.
Antonio cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention. “Well, it’s great to know that once we turn in this gem to Amy, we’ll be halfway done with our journey!”
“Yeah,” Tommy agreed. “So let’s get going and—”
“Wait; hold up.” Ruth interrupted. “Who's Amy, is she a friend of yours?”
“It’s, uh, hard to explain...” Tommy scratched the back of her head, unsure of how to put it into words.
“Classified!” Antonio responded in a joking manner. Silence followed soon after, as the others looked at him. “What?”
“Seriously?” Tommy and Maggie rolled their eyes in disbelief but chuckled under their breath.
Maggie then remembered something. “Hey, Ruthie, do you remember when that girl helped us calm the Loch Ness Monster?”
“Oh, you mean, that was her?”
“Precisely.”
“But is she going to fulfill that promise and help you get out of here?”
“We hope so; it’s the only chance we got...”
The group took a break and rest up near the pool of water. They ate, drank, talked, and relaxed for a bit before picking themselves back up and heading back.

Maggie, Tommy, Ruth, and Antonio rode on the backs of the dinosaurs as they all continued to traverse the area. However, Maggie looked up and noticed that the sun was setting again.
Nobody in the group knew for certain how long they had in the pylon for, or what the time-zone was for this place. Regardless, it got late, and they had to hurry and find a place to stay in to avoid the predators. Fortunately, the group remembered the shelter their dinosaur friends made the other night and headed there. Tommy informed Ruth on how their quest had gone so far while on the way to their current destination.
Antonio took out his phone and tried to access the flashlight app with the device still low on battery. Abruptly, a bright flash of light kicked in, startling Antonio and causing him to drop the phone nearly. He used the phone to shine the light on them and discovered the strange fort still standing.
The group slipped off of the dinosaurs as Ringo and Riley moved over. They stuck their heads inside the hut to have a little peek. The two dinosaurs noticed some snakes inside and roared at them to make the reptiles flee in panic.
“That was close.” Antonio sighed in relief.
“But why were there that many snakes in there?” Tommy questioned, scratching his head. “Do you think they like to hang out in that hut?”
“Ah, who cares?” Maggie retorted. “All that matters is that Ringo and Riley protected us and scared off the snakes for us!” She petted the Thescelotitans with a smile. “Do you have any berries?” She turned to Tommy and asked. “I want to give them both rewards.”
“Oh, ok.” Tommy took out his blue backpack and searched around for some treats. To his surprise and dismay, he appeared to be low on berries. “Uh, oh, we don’t have a lot left.”

“What?”
“I can get more for you if you want,” Ruth spoke up.
“Oh yeah, you can see in the dark, can’t you?” Antonio remembered.
“Ok, let me go with you.” Maggie volunteered. “It’ll be easier if more people find and bring back some.”
“Meanwhile, Antonio and I can go get some wood and build a fire,” Tommy added.
“Great, we’ll meet back here in a couple of minutes.”
“Sounds good.” Tommy nodded in approval.
The two split into groups of two and went their separate ways, while Ringo and Riley waited beside the hut to stop any predators that come their way.

Coalescence of Two Lifetimes
Cilen was you typical, run-of-the-mill kinda guy. Well, until his parents passed away when he was 17 forcing him to learn to grow up. Fast. He figured it wouldn't be that bad. He had a house, he had an inheritance, he had friends that kept him company. And at first, it really wasn't anything But sometimes, the loneliness just gets to you. Sometimes, the expectation to not disappoint just gets to you. Sometimes, life just gets to you. And it brought Cilen to his knees, lamenting, cursing, questioning, "why?" "Why did his parents pass away as they did, forcing him to fend for his own?" "Why wasn't he born in a rich household, with a silver spoon in his mouth that catered to his every need?" "Why was every step forwards so difficult, in this accursed society?" He wished that everything would be easy, like inside the worlds of the wuxia novels that he had grown up reading. Special constitution, lucky breaks, fast powerup, get all the chicks and defeat the big evil guy. Simple, easy, satisfying. But life ain't cut out to be that way. The main actors were already set, and there was no changing them. Unless, you moved to a different stage... But this ain't one of your friendly neighborhood transmigrations. It rewards those that are patient, creative and willing to adapt. But perhaps Cilen is able to make use of this opportunity and become something more. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ This story is a personal love letter to all the pieces of fiction that I have read.

Its gonna be a slow ride but worth it. Promise. Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash
