The Crystals - 36 Continuing the journey.

As soon as Zohaifa’s Yellow Splash and Oar’s Orange bomb touched each other, a dark reddish smoke covered the area with a scorching sound. Everyone was in anticipation of what will happen next. But when the smoke cleared, Zohaifa stood out on top. Oar’s dress is torn at the chest where the Yellow splash had hit.

“What? This can’t be. The Yellow Splash is greater than Orange Smoke?” said a flustered villager.

“No, we must’ve chosen a bad representative,”

“Oar would have won if he was serious. He always gets stronger when the rubber hits the road”

Oar punch the ground in desperation with an angry, frowned face. Zohaifa went on to Oar and lend out his hands. He immediately changed his expression and smilingly accepted it to stand up.

“I should’ve expected this from Lazuli’s student. But remember, you are the student of Lazuli herself while I never even met Smomb. So, don’t think Yellow Splash was better.”

“I won’t,” said Zohaifa, thinking Yellow Splash was indeed better than the Orange Smoke. In fact, he considered it is an evolution.

“Hey Oar, can you find me a place to stay for the night?”

“You can just stay at my home. I would be happy to shelter a warrior like you in my home.”

“Thank you.”

Zohaifa chuckled being addressed as a warrior. Zohaifa stayed there for the night, had a nice dinner, and departed the next day early in the morning.

“Leaving already? I wanted to train with you.”

“Sorry I am off to exploring Cant World.”

“Exploring Cant World? That will never end. Plus, you will get lost.”

“I won’t. I have been going in one direction from Yellow city.”

“Ok, take care.”

Then Zohaifa got out of the village again through the tornado. He smiled at the fact that he could defeat someone with letting out that strong of a presence.

“That must mean I can defeat Flirtic too. I wonder if the others also feel a presence like that when they encounter me.”

He then moved on through the desert. It took him a day. He thought he would die starving. At last, he resorted to eating spiders and other bugs.

“Eww! This is so disgusting. But I will probably die if I eat nothing. I can already perceive myself as a Zombie. I should have stayed in the forest.”

He could see greeneries in front at a fair distance. That motivated him to move forward, to see another day filled with adventures. He had to crawl over to get there.

“Finally!” he exclaimed finding a river. The chilly water moistened his tongue and quenched his thirst as it splashed the walls of his throat.

“So, relaxing!” saying which Zohaifa splattered the water drowning his face. “I will have to be more conservative now.”

He crossed the river. collected fishes and conserved them this time.. The journey led him to a forest. It was easier to survive there. He ate fishes and birds. He at last came across a town. At the top, it is written: ‘Crazy town.’
