Ally's skyrifter landed its wings gently on the mysterious land. her protective clothing covered fer entire being. she didnt want to risk being bitten by a Gallor Mornacot or any poison creature, for all she knew, this underworld could have been wildly more dangerous than the Temptatche Jungle above her at the place where she left from only hours ago by escaping her home. she was a criminal now in the eyes of the Alemii Rulers, and amongst her departure, she had one last "crime" to commit.
her boot-covered feet set step on the unknown land as she jumped off her skyrifter. The world she was in was so mysterious, so lost in life for a fact that was so ancient to her or anyone she knew. through her protective gogles, the sight she basked upon was infeact as beautifull as she imagined it would be, only more mythical in all it's glory. poisonous plants roamed this place, like back in the Temptatche Jungle. bright and dull shades of blues, purples, grays, greens, and even whites were painted here by nature. Ally smiled. "it's as beautiful as i imagined it would be" she whispred. It was hard to believe, she thought, that such a beautifull and deadly poisonous place would be so misleading, so feared, by her kind.
young Ally walked around the jungle, grasping it's deadly beauty. Back in the sky; her home, she would always bring five viles with her to place her magificent findings inside and study their mysteries. Now it seemed that to commit such an act to this world down here was too selfish, to cruel to even consider. she did not want to take away even a fragment of dust away from this deadly place. it was alive in Ally's eyes; this place. like the Temptatche Jungle above her, it had life, a steady, beating heart beat. You could even hear it. In the wind, the chirping noises of the winged creatures, the rustling of the exotic and poisonous plants, it buzzing of the microcreatures. it was a steady and dead heartbeat. Ally listened to it. she walked around this place, getting lost in her steps as she focused on the poisoned jungle. She held a connection to it somehow. somewhere deep inside her being, she felt the warmth of this place, the welcome it gave her. The heartbeat of this place seemed to intertwine, to fuse with her heartbeat. Ally heard what the jungle heared, saw what it saw, felt what it felt. it raged throught her with every step she took. She had no direction, no destination. She was just running to feel the jungle. She wanted to understand it, understand the reason for it existing, the story of how this world came to be so deadly, so beautiful. Her heartbeat reced with the beat of the jungle, they were running at the same step. faster, they ran, faster they felt the adrenaline rush through them, until she had no breath did she stop running-NO, SHE KEPT RUNNING. SHE DIDNT WANT TO STOP HEARING THE JUNGLE- she was winning, she was losing, she was right beside it, she was losing again, winning again, beside it again. all adrenaline seemed to built inside both of them until they found no reason to stop. they were alive, sustaining each other, supporting each other knowing that this very action was the very reason she was imprisoned and banished from her home. The Alemii Rulers forbade this, but she didnt listen. Ally was feeling the jungle, they were running, they were one. faster and faster they accelerated, they listened to each other. "IM GOING TO WIN!" they screamed at each other, then she felt it, she had to stop here. "ok, I'll stop, I heard you" Ally whispered. the feeling in her gut cramped her stomach with pain. she had lost her breath from all that running. Ally fell to the ground like rock, her body felt heavy, tired. for ten minutes she layed there on the soft poison grass. it was quiet now, she heared the life of the jungle once again. the heartbeat pounded inside her with all it's force in the world. it felt good; to be alive, to be the only one to take it all in. "Im here, i want to show you something, Ally, Ally, Ally, i need to show you why i took you here" Ally felt the jungle, she felt it's need, it's want. the girl slowly got up and dusted herself. then she looked up and what she saw was, the most elegant, beautiful, mythical thing she had ever seen. the girl seemed to be in the center of ancient ruins. "oh...im, i heared you....i found you" she whispered. the ruins stood as high as her eyes could allow her to see. no ceiling, no people, just arcs that stood high in the sky. white towers and destroyed walls that was all covered by the poisonous vines and plants that reached to the peak of the ruins. the light of the blue and gray sky reflected off the white tiles on the towers and high arcs and plants, it was beautiful. then Ally looked forward and found that many feet away were a flight of steps that lead to the seconed floor. small steps, she took as her eyes basked upon what seemed to her, the very heart of this poisonous place. as she steped closer; right in the middle, Ally looked straight up at the sky, and saw the shattered cieling of this ruin. long vines hung from atop this and fell all the way to the ground, like long arms of what used to be life. she looked srtraight again, and saw the flight of stairs getting closer. she stopped at the front of the first step. she took a deep breath, and took the first step without looking towards her. one step, then the second, the third and the fourth, then the fifth and the sixth. it was until she reached the fifteenth step did she the girl look up. then she took the sixteenth step; the second floor of the ruins. the white tile was covered with poisonous dust and sprouting weeds and plants. then she looked at the wall in front of her and widened her eyes as she noticed the ancient markings that covered the whole wall. they etched from atop the ruin wall to the bottom of her eyes. Ally closed her eyes as she placed her palm on the ancient marking in front of her. she tried to picture what kind of life raomed this place when it was alive; before it died. it was a question that had no answer, she could only guess at it. then, with hesitation she retrieved her hand and then she remembered what she had studied all those years ago at her uncle's house. Uncle Yuka studied ancient runes. he was an eremrion ogf knowledge, a term in which everyone considers legend. it was true though, the content of what she studied with her uncle, it came to her, like a spark to a flame. There were 26 markings that the ancient civilization used and 10 seperate markings to find the amount and value of things: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Ally studied these markings until she learned to put them each together in countless combinations to make what are called words. she learned how to read ancient language. then Ally opened her eyes, looked up at the markings, and read; "HERE LIES THE ANCIENT CHAPAL OF WEN KROY. THE ALMIGHTY CHAPAL OF ALL THAT IS GOOD. IN HERE LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE ADOLESCANT EMERY CASTER STOPPED THE POISON BREATHERS IN THEIR MISSION TO RENEW THE WORLD OF THE LIFE THAT IS THE CAUSE OF ITS DEATH. HUMANS AND ANIMALS WILL BE RESTED OF THEIR LIVES IN ORDER FOR RENEWAL TO COMMENCE. IT IS NOT IN UR DEEPEST FEAR THAT WE ARE THE CAUSE OF OUR OWN DESTRUCTION, BUT THE CAUSE OF WHAT DESTROYS US. HERE LIES THE SOULS OF THE DEATHLY DEPARTED, THEY ARE THE MEMORY OF WHAT EXISTED IN ITS OWN FAULT. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IT IS THE SAKE OF FUTURE LIVES THAT WILL EIXST OF THEIR OWN FAULT SOME TIME, AND IT IS IN THAT TIME THAT A NEW LIFE OF EXISTANCE WILL EMERGE IN THE NEVER ENDING CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH. THAT IS WHAT THE ERA OF POISON HAS LEFT US, TO BASK IN ITS BEAUTIFUL DEATH. AND IT IS IN THAT POISON THAT HOLDS THE TRUE MEANING OF HOW TO LIVE. LONG LIVE OUR ANCIENT SAVIOR; THE EMERY CASTER"
and then the young Ally of fifteen star degrees (fifteen years of age) knew what the jungle had told her to do. she turned around and looked at the floor below her and saw the many, many tablets and stones that stood above the tiles. she never noticed them before. then she knew what her crime was, she knew why the Alemii Rulers banished her from her home, why they imprisoned her. why it was so forbidden to enter the Temptache Jungle above her. it is because of what she believes in that she is the fault of life. the era of poison is beautiful beacuse it is the next life that is meant to exist after her. she is not supposed to exist in this world, that is why she felt the poison of this place. then at that moment, that very same heartbeat faded, like a failing spark that fails to illuminate a fire.
