46 A Wisp of spirit consciousness (1/2)

As they entered deeper into the forest, Ajax heard the sounds of various spirit beasts.

After travelling for some time they finally found an altar which is only three meters in height and fully covered with bizarre patterns on it.

”Let me inspect, what it is??”, Lewis whispered to others and cautiously scanned the altar.

” Be careful with it Lewis, We don't have any inkling about it”, Paulin warned Lewis.

Nodding his head, Lewis sprinted to the altar and scrutinized it like an adept.

”Stop behaving like a professional, Lewis”, Jeff criticized Lewis at his acting.

” Actually, I am a professional when it comes to mysterious runes and markings, Jeff”, Lewis proclaimed himself as professional and continued, ”If you don't believe me, come and see for yourselves”.

Ajax and Paulin giggled at Lewis words and moved towards him dragging Jeff along with them.

On the altar, a small white gemstone is embedded on it.

” What is it, Lewis???”, Paulin raised a question about the white gemstone to Lewis.

”ahem”, Lewis cleared his throat and started his explanation about it, ” I heard from my grandfather that, if a green coloured gemstone is embedded on an altar, then it will heal all your injuries when you touch it”.

”Then what about this white coloured gemstone??”, Jeff urged Lewis to explain quickly, about it.

” This..this.., I don't know”, Lewis mumbled embarrassed.

”What happened to the professional in you then??”, Jeff ridiculed Lewis reminding his earlier words.

Lewis's face turned even more red from embarrassment when he heard the ridicule.

” Stop it, Jeff. Let's identify what will happen if we touch it?”, Paulin, as an eldest among the group, tried to pacify the situation between them and proposed to touch it.

Before Paulin even moves his hand, Lewis touched the stone without saying anything and disappeared from everyone's sight.

”Where did he go??”, Ajax stunned and asked others.

” I don't know either”, Jeff shook his head.

”I saw him touching this gemstone before disappearing. I think he was teleported to into the altar” Paulin said as he guessed the later part.

”Then shall we also try it”, Ajax suggested paulin and Jeff.

” Let's do it, brother Paulin”, Jeff also agreed with Ajax, without any hesitation.

”Let's go then”, Paulin finally said after thinking for a moment.

Soon Paulin and others touched the white gemstone and disappeared into the thin air.

Inside the altar,

The area looked like a big cave with many passages in it. It is very quiet and peaceful.

Suddenly, a portal appeared in the quiet and peaceful cave. From the portal, a young men fell on to the ground with a 'thud' sound.
