The Legend of Azhakkstadd

CHAPTER LXVI : THE SUNSET AND THE VEHICLE

-Harald-

            “We did it?” I asked as I was about to put down the metal glass that I made with Kurezma but I doubted since maybe those creatures are still out there waiting for us to remove our cover

            “I think we did…” Kurezma agreed with me with a glimpse of happiness and excitement in her voice

            “Let me take a look…” Hazol said while looking right through the metal glass we made “They’re gone” he said as he looked down towards me, his x-ray vision is amazing ahahaha I wish I had those too

            “Yes we did it… that was amazing!” I exclaimed joyfully as I put down my hands and the metal glass we just made suddenly disappeared. I went back climbing immediately so that Vedasto and the others won’t have a hard time carrying us. But he sure is very strong, we don’t seem to bother him, it’s like he can carry us all the way up here

            “Yes, we totally did it…” Vedasto spoke excitedly agreeing with us. Success really tastes better when you do it all together, haaaysss

            “That was great we drove them away” Kurezma said proud of herself and for all of us

            “We actually erased their existence ahahaha” Hazol cut himself off correcting Kurezma with what he exactly did to those cockatrice ahahaha well, she suggested it

            “Oh…” Kurezma ohh’ed as she realized what really happened to those unfortunate creatures, I hope Malikstar and the legendary creatures guide them as they go to their next lives

            “And we didn’t just drove them, I can see the peak. We’re almost there, so let’s climb faster” Vedasto spoke again informing us that we are almost there, it made me feel excited so I have to be careful not to fall off

            “Ok, be careful everyone, now’s not the time to fall ahahaha” Eeya said reminding us all. Suddenly Vedasto started pulling us all upwards which made us stop climbing anymore. He really is so strong, he’s like the combination of all of our physical strength, all fifteen of us.

            No wonder why he got those nice biceps, I also have mine. His biceps looked better though, and it’s stronger, but at least I’m not weak ahahahaha.

            “Woah…” I gasped as I turned my head to see what’s in front of me now, it’s so beautiful, I mean it’s magnificent, it’s wonderful… I don’t know how to put this in words. I can’t believe that this beauty is dying soon. I hope we can do something about it.

            “It’s majestic…” Kurezma said as she got mesmerized with what she is seeing right now “I wish my brother could see this now” she added still keeping her eyes on the scenery.

            We really are so high above, this mountain is just perfect to see the beauty of the aquamarine ocean as it sparkles with the sunset. It’s like the suns are bidding us farewell with their glorious goodbyes. The white foggy clouds did a perfect job blending its beauty with the ocean down below.

            I can’t put in words what I am seeing right now. This world is just so beautiful to stare at. The orange gold stretches far and wide, the color of fire hearths and tangerines. It smoothly crawls all over the vast ocean like how the colors play with each other giving us the best that we could ever see.

            It’s as if our eyes get locked and lost in the rhythmic percussion of waves on sand despite us being way too high from it. Our eyes are steady to the horizon upon us, face aglow with the last orange rays before twilight gestures the stars. Our lips couldn’t even lie what happiness we are feeling right now.

            The whistling of the wind is like a music in our ears, while the sound of the waves harmonizes with it, and the sounds of these sweet creatures flying up in the skies sing along. Our eyes and ears could never get enough out of it. The whole scenery little by little started to get dark.

            The aquamarine ocean is gradually turning into dark blue and the white shore is getting covered with the pleasant darkness of the moon Goddesses. Stars stared to twinkle one by one as they show themselves to the whole Azhakkstadd tonight. The clouds are slowly moving slowly showing the moons that will shine up above us tonight.

            “Uhmmm… excuse me?” we all turned around to see who dare interrupt us as we stare at the scenery as if it’s one of a life-time experience “Don’t you have something to do?” he added. It’s the same man who talked to us before we get here. How did he easily get up here anyway?

            “Yea right, let’s go everyone” Hazol said as he walked towards the man “What are we going to do next sir?” he asked the man. Suddenly the man raised up his hand as if he’s handing something to Hazol. After a few minutes, his hand glow brightly then something appeared from it.

            “It’s a diamond shard, you need to finish all your challenges to get all of its parts… now go, get it” the man said as Hazol raised his hand as well. The diamond shard suddenly transferred into Hazol’s hand, as he put down his hand, the diamond shard disappeared into thin air as if it never existed ahahahaha that was magical.

            The man suddenly disappeared just like how the diamond shard went gone.

            “Where do we go next?” Kurezma asked Hazol after what happened. She seemed to be excited ahahaha it’s still not late though, we could at least do another challenge for the day.

            “It’s an independent Island. West of Air Empire, and 330 degrees Northwest of State of the Earth Metals” Hazol answered looking at the map he’s reading “According to the map of the Air Empire, we’re very far from there. We’re ate the very Northeast of the country, so it would literally take us a lot of time to travel” he said as he looked at the map of the Air Empire.

            “I know that Island…” Harald spoke “It’s called the Vikhahr Island, it’s named after the person who discovered it. They say that this island is home to many minerals but also deadly creatures. Only the bravest would survive” he added

            “Then let’s get there now” Kurezma excitedly said

            “Are you kidding me? It’s the whole Air Empire that we are going to travel, we won’t get there in just an hour. Plus, we have to get out of this island first” Zexal told Kurezma

            “Look, let’s slide down there…” Eeya pointed as she saw a ditch going down below

            “Good idea, but how are we going to do that?” Hazol said as he looked down below trying to digest Eeya’s suggestion

            “Kurezma will get our boat back there where we left it, she can teleport there already since she knows how to get there already. We’ll use that and some ice to slide us down to the other side of this island. There, we can use that boat again to get to the mainland” Eeya explained to Hazol

            “Seems acceptable. Kurezma, you go get our boat please” Hazol said agreeing with Eeya

            “We can improvise whenever something happens, like if we will bump into something, try making a force field to help us avoid it. I saw you doing that once and you were very good at it” Eeya added suggesting to Hazol

            “Yea right, you’re smart ahahahaha and look there are woods we can use to make a better boat. Let’s just upgrade the one Kurezma made” Hazol agreed with Eeya

            “And I’m sure I can find some metals in this mountain that I can use for the construction. So we can use that as our transportation for air, land, and water… isn’t it great?” I interrupted myself

            “In that way, we don’t have to bother Zati draining all her energy to become a dragon to get us to places” Vedasto continued adding his thoughts

            “This is amazing, let’s get to work as soon as Kurezma arrives” Hazol spoke as we waited for Kurezma to get back here with the boat we used a while ago

            “I’m here” after a while Kurezma came back with our boat

            “Vedasto, you get some woods that we could use to make our boat larger” Hazol commanded Vedasto “Do you know how to do this?” he turned to me and ask

            “Uhmmm… Mortals are very good at crafting, but let me try since we also learned crafting from them. We’re neighboring countries” I answered him “I’ll go get the materials I need first, while Vedasto is getting those woods for us, you also start making the design” I said and started looking for minerals and metals from this mountain

            I touched the ground to feel anything from it. I continued looking for anything… steel, aluminum, titanium or whatever, anything that I can find that I can use. Though I could just make one with my hands, but not that much to create an aircraft or a boat. It would also drain my energy.

            Here… I can feel there’s something in here. I just have to pull it up. I started focusing myself so that I could feel where exactly that metal is and connect with it so that it would go up. There, I can feel it. Wow. I started pulling them up with my senses, I can feel there’s a lot of them and it would be enough.

            The ground started to shake a little as I pulled these metals from the depth of this mountain. This makes me feel good. I like it. As soon as I got all of it, though I still have to metal bend in order to forge these metals, I quickly came back to them with everything that I got.

            “Woah… that’s too much ahahaha” Hazol said as I came back with everything I gathered “How did you get that?”

            “Well, you know Teras ahahaha” I just said, they know it already, how we get all the metals we use

            “So here’s the design, I draw it. It’s everyone’s ideas” Hazol said showing me the design of the vehicle they draw in a paper. I also noticed the Vedasto is here already with the woods he’s asked to get

            “We have to expand it so that we will all fit here” Hazol started explaining to me about their plan. It’s just simple though. We’re keeping the initial design that Kurezma made with the woods, we’re just adding up space so that we will all fit. They also put on walls, and roof, with chairs inside.

            “It doesn’t look good, let’s change the shape. Though your ideas are nice” I said suggesting to change the shape, since it was just a plain rectangle a while ago. I started building our vehicle with their help, I just added something at the edge that make it looked like an arrow. That will be the front part.

            Hazol and Kurezma pasted the woods so that they won’t go off. I made a metal flooring on it so that it would look better not just those plain woods again ahahahaha then I started with the wall higher than Vedasto since he’s the tallest among us here, so that we can also stand.

            I left half of its height opened for our window, and a space for our door. Then I made the roof as quick as I could. Hazol and Kurezma once again used their power seal everything to secure our vehicle. Then it’s finished

            “It’s beautiful ahahaha” I said as I looked at it. I never I knew I could make such beautiful vehicle in just half an hour. I should do a lot more of these “Let’s go in!” I said, we all went inside it

            “Oh, I forgot about the chair ahahaha it’s not nice to sit on the floor with a sophisticated vehicle as this” I said bragging our work. I started forging the metals left as benches inside this thing.

            “Amazing” Kurezma commented as she sat down and leaned herself on the back rest “Let’s go” she said inviting us all

            “Right let’s go” Zexal said

            “Wait!” I suddenly remembered “What about the engine? How do we drive this thing? Ahahahaha” I laughed as I suddenly remembered that we forgot to get this thing working. I was wrong, I shouldn’t do a lot more of these ahahaha. We all laughed with the thought

            “Wait, Eeya can drive when we’re in land, Kurezma when we need to travel by air, and Zexal in water… right?” Zati suggested

            “Yea, right… that should do it…” I said as I took a deep breath. Good thing she thought of that, and we have these people “Next time, if we plan let’s include how we get it working ahahahaha” I added

            “Just like earlier, about the mountain climbing, nice planning huh? Vedasto cut himself in reminding us about that

            “We should create good plans next time ahahaha” Hazol commented

            “But it’s so nice that we succeed though we don’t have a nice plan” Zati said “It’s because we’re working together” she added making the mood so dramatic

            “Aww…” Kurezma said “Let’s fix your dress first…” she added bringing that up

            “Oh right, I was topless the whole time ahahaha” Vedasto exclaimed pointing at his shirt as the only thing that Zati is wearing
