Rabi of the Marshland
Darline’s knuckles tightened up, walking towards Kent who was lying on the ground looking at the night sky above her, “your fault!” pointing her finger at Kent.Kent tilted her head slowly, looking at her friend’s raging face. Kent couldn’t utter a word, she knows she should be the one to save Christian, but she didn’t. She’s still powerless. Protecting herself from her classmate’s rage could only spark another conflict. She decided to just agree and listen. That’s the only thing that she could do.“How could you? He’s our friend! Our classmate! You let those creatures eat him!” Darline’s tears continue to fall to her cheeks to the dry ground, making it the only liquid that nourishes the now dry soil.Still processing the dreadful experience, Gloyd, Ivan and Maeje sat down to the dry land, gazing at it, different emotions taken from them, leaving only the sadness behind. Alex moved tow

Meeting the Carthae
The dark sky soon gave up into light as the sun started to rise. Its joyful color burned the night of loss into a memory of tragedy.Heavy footsteps sounded as they followed the slow rushing sound of the lady’s tiny leafy feet who introduced herself as one of the guardians who ought to protect this world, as she had said.“Where are we going?” Alex asked.“To death.” Rabi replied.Faces of extreme confusedness flooded on the students’ expressions.“You’re joking, right?” Gloyd said in disbelief.“Not really. The place where we are going is the place of death. The creatures there are responsible for every death that happens in the marshland, we call them the Carthae also known as the scavengers of death.”“Are they the gods of this world?” Alex asked.“According to the legend, they were the first species who lived in this world, not us,

Glad and contended of the news of Christian being alive, the students began to set out to a new journey. But the poetic scavenger of death still left the team with a mind, so confused they stopped for a moment of thoughts.“leisurely but extremely mighty, I cudgel with a stick to beat. Beware the earth that is soft, my house isn’t worth to carry.”Alex repeated the poem. It may have been said once by the carthae but his ability to recall words is a topnotch in their past world. He put his spiky weapon on the ground, that was given by his classmate Jay for protection, and bit his lip. Alex’s lip biting is common to see in their past world. To him, it helps him think harder than what an average thinker would do.

He asked his classmates. He

The Turtle Monster
Their screams were deafening as they watch the turtle-headed man walk towards the entrance of the cabin. With a bloody bludgeon in hand, he whacked the wooden door and its broken pieces revealed the terrified faces of his victims, isolated in the corner of the cabin, trying to protect themselves from the terror of the killer. The seven-foot-tall killer had never shown any weak spot for them to attack. There are seven of them inside, it's logical to win against one. A strong impact to its turtle mask could've prevented them to be in such position. "kill" spoken by the killer with a hoarse sound showing its utmost desire. Not intimidated by the number of its victims, he swung his weapon in the air. The six students immediately ducked. With the killer's large body and them being smaller, its movements were slower therefore, easier to dodge.They immediately hurried to the sides where they scattered after the attack and ran towards the exit. "Help!" said Maeje crawling its way to

Everyone continued to destroy the cabin. May it be from the inside or the outside, Alex, together with his friends, smashed, kicked it with their strength and sliced the wooden walls with their spears, leaving the turtle in an excruciating pain.The tide seemed to turn in favor of the humans when the earth suddenly trembled. "What's happening?" Darline said. The ground's movements put the destruction of the cabin into full pause as they grabbed the foundations of the cabin to get hold of the sudden tremors.Alex looked at the monster behind him and noticed that the monster stopped and gave out an evil smile. The soft ground became softer as the ground continue to tremble, the swamp around them seemed to get closer as water rose from back of the cabin and still rising towards them."Guys! The swamp's getting bigger!" Ivan shouted.Gloyd moved away from the inside of the cabin, "It's sinking the whole place!""Everyone, get out!" Alex shouted. Everyo

Ranthi of The Void
The trees swayed as Noel pounced from one tree to another, leaving marks so that the others would be guided as they set their foot after him – as what they have primarily planned.Moving in extreme speed, the cold breeze kisses Noel's fur.

 Alex was thinking. And he's sure that she's the sister of Rabi who claimed herself as the guardian of the marshland. She must have been really the reason why we were ambushed back when Christian was captured and the reason why the marks were stopped in the middle of the mission – the routes we were taking."Hey, does that mean she's Rabi's sister?" Darline asked.Everyone nodded. "Yes, maybe that's that.""How did Noel get captured? He can be invisible during the night?" Gloyd argued."Then Ranthi can see through him, she's a guardian after all. They possess immense power like Rabi." Alex said. "I think he's still safe. Rabi don't seem to be hostile towards us. If we're lucky, maybe her sister, is, too." He added.Gloyd sighed, "I hope he's okay. Ranthi is from the void, maybe her character's evil."Gloyd was right, we have always been taught that creatures from the void were barren of goodness. Although we saw it just fr

Fast Relaxation
Sleeping on a bed, made by his fellow classmates, Alex woke up late. The best must have done the job well, giving comfort to Alex's tired physical body and even mind. But still, he still has a job to do, and that's to find someone that he doesn't know where to find in the first place – Rabi, one of the eight from the Roceiae tribe who long guarded the marshland for centuries. Alex decided to stand as he opened the wooden door from his room. They used wood for doors since using the hardened nectar would be trivial for a simple reason that it is not suited for it because of its texture. Walking on a gold-plated floor, barefoot Alex was guided by the golden lights towards the main hall where they eat. "I see that you're awake now." Darline said, eating her lunch. Alex approached her slowly and sat beside her, "Yeah must have been really tired." "We all are. You deserve a good rest too." Darline said while she continues to put food in her mouth with a gol
