9 Chapter - 9 (1/2)

Sussan looked around her and found a water stream nearby. She started walking towards it but David held her hand and stopped her.

”Where do you think you are going alone?” David asked with frustration.

He thought she could leave him any time she wants and he needs to live in constant fear of her leaving. This made David really mad at her and he held her wrist tightly.

”David, you are hurting me, so leave my hand. I am not going anywhere without you. I just saw the stream nearby and wanted to get some water for us. It is a tiring journey and I am thirsty.” Sussan understood his fear but did not show it on her face while she tried to explain patiently.

”Why am I here for then? If you need anything, just tell me and I will do anything for you. I will go and get the water, so give me the pouch” David said.

Sussan sighed and gave the magical pouch to David and reminded him that, ”Before you can fill, do not be so impatient and hurt the pouch. It is just a baby”.

The baby pouch yawned and blinked his eyes. Seeing that David is the one holding him and not Sussan, it started crying.

Sussan immediately took the pouch and gave a pinch of Asher's dust. Then it became happy and opened its wide mouth to show that it is ready to fill the water.

Brenda got up from where she was sitting and came to the arguing couple.

”You guys cannot live a day without arguing. Come on, let us go” Brenda moved forward towards the stream.

From where they stood the stream looked near but once they started moving, it felt like the stream was moving further away from them. It made them blink at each other. They kept on walking for more than half an hour but the place where the stream was not any nearer to them anymore.

They all sat on the huge rock to rest before they could start once again. But the moment they sat down, the rock started moving and lifted off the ground.

It flapped its wings and they were all pushed into the center and were carried in the air. David tried to hold its huge neck but was pushed backward, so Sussan held one of the wings in one hand and the other she held David. Brenda held the other wing.

When they were high in the air they saw the stream below them and it is not a normal stream, it's a flying stream. It moved around and they couldn't see the end of the stream.

The bird flew above the stream, as they saw that it was the only option everyone jumped into the stream. But what they did not realize was that the stream was super hot and not a cold stream. Luckily, the stream moved away again and they fell on a giant leaf.

But what they did not expect was that the giant leaf rolled and closed itself and pulled them along with it under the ground.

They felt like they were going down a giant slide and it was like forever and there is no end to it. They started doubting if there will ever be any ground.
