The voice showed itself. It was a bald female person. “My name is Ru Shinyi. I’m a monk. Anyways, when Yvon first stole the egg a month ago, his thugs came to our village and captured some of us. I tricked them and said I wanted to join them, so they brought me back here. I’m been planning to steal back the egg for ages, but now I have more people to help me. Wait. You three will help me, right?” “Yeah, actually, the king sent us to get the egg.” I said. “Alright.” Ru did something, and the metal bars opened. “Now, follow me.” We stealthily walked, hugging the walls. Eventually, we reached a big chamber where a large egg stood on a rock. A French person was sitting down, writing something. We crept up to the egg, but just when we were about to get it, the French guy noticed us. “INTRUDERS!” he cried. We picked up the egg and ran. “That’s Yvon, I presume?” Vandrel said as we were running. “Yup,” Ru said. We attacked some guards who were chasing us. After that, we ran out of the cave, and Lin punched the rock. I was about to tell him to continue running, but then the cave shook. A cave-in. We slowed down a bit, and quickly walked back to the palace. “Ah! Very good! The egg! Thank you!” the king said. He gave us 10 golden cubes, which I guess were valuable here. Suddenly, a vortex appeared, and we were back in Alaska. I’m glad we were back, and that we survived that adventure.
