Chapter 3: Into The Unknown He Rode

 

Klajo woke up at the shore confused and chilled to how he came here but there he saw an energetic brown horse at the end of the shore drinking water from a small pond beside it had little grass, he went, caught the horse from the tail, the horse knocked him with his legs in his head, impacting his body to fall with  a severe headache in klajo head but that horse is truly a marvelous creature when he saw him down, his hands over his head, he came close and licked klajo hands, when he rose up from the ground the horse lowered his neck offering him to ride in his back , he rode the horse entered the jungle with no handles speeding the wind  into the depths, after two  days traveling without rest, he founded a village in it living creatures who wore dark clothes, with no legs but flying without air  or planes he was amazed but in his mind he was repeating that this is all a dream. He went to the nearest creature and asked where am I ? the creature just looked at him and went around him going circles and touching his face and legs . and told him who are you? Klajo didn’t know how to reply because he still doesn't know if he's an alien or a human beside them so he replied I'm a Klajo, so the creature was stunned saying "it’s the first time to see a Klajo he told him we are the people of the mist and there are other tribes people of Fire and people of Mountain, and the people of Water . you should be proud son of Klajoo that the dragon didn’t see you", Klajo was amazed asking "There is a dragon still living ?" the creature told him to follow him took him to his hut in the woods outside of the village , his hut was no ordinary hut like the one he used to see in books this hut was shaped with dark, gloomy  noodles stacked together with glue, hovering a bit above the ground with no basis to hold it but still the noodles managed to stay still , he went inside the hut . the creature said my name is Mostical what is your son of klajo? Klajo replied my name is Klajoo .

Mostical  told him that his in one of the Mist small villages and there are five other Mist villages because they couldn't  go along with each other, because their culture, where is the weak creatures are to be ruled by the powerful, strongest in the land, he shall provide food and safety, and you shall obey him. Tried to let him embrace it, but Klajo didn’t like their ways "culture", and asked him do people get ruled by kings and queens, Mostical said no only one who rules the entire continent and his the dragon. Klajo was amazed that a dragon controlled all four kingdoms ( the Mist,  Fire, Mountain, and the Water kingdoms ). Klajo asked him, why are these four kingdoms not up roaring for their freedom? Mostical told him how can bird fight an eagle? , but the eagle does feed the birds, his a monarchy. You son of Klajo should bring your people and share our land, But for now, you  should rest, there is a small sheet at end of the hut you shall find rest there.Klajoo tucked himself with the sheet thinking, diving in what has happened, how did he came here without knowing where the women with the snake, what mystical journey she sent me, but the most question which was pinging in his head was why are these people are following the dragon. When Klajoo woke up he asked Mostical where is the sunlight ? or did I sleep long ?, Mostical laughed and told him sunlight doesn’t visit this land, so Klajo asked him if he can roam the mystical  Mist land's, Mostical said, I shall guide you. Mostical took him to a temple which looked dark, and gloomy from the outside floated inside a swamp with big trees around it with no leaves. They went inside, there was a big statue of the dragon, Klajoo asked is that the dragon? ,  Mostical told him that is our God. And you Klajoo should embrace him also as your god for which he is generous and kind. Klajo didn’t like the idea of a creature being called God, but he couldn’t tell Mostical that for which he will offend him, and may spark a hostile spark which he can't afford at the time being. After they saw the temple, Mostical offered Klajoo a dinner at his hut and to rest for another day, he accepted it, after they eat Mostical went to sleep in a strange way his head faced the corner of the wall, floating but sleeping which gave the creep to Klajo, after taking deep thinking, he took the bravery guts and fled from Mostical hut and, the land of mist to see the land of Fire which seemed to him the strongest people , Klajo didn’t know where the land but he was objecting for a big torch to light in this dark night where the people  of Fire rested . but he didn’t find any fire, just whispers and a chilly night in the jungle, he noticed a tree with big leaves where he can sleep above from the ground.
