Outside, the sun shone brightly through the thick clouds of Yunnan. Bennie, Goblo and Matulo walked
into the bustling markets in Deqen. Bennie exclaimed,” Whoah! I never thought that there was a city in this
remote place in Yunnan!” “Well, there are always things that you never know,” Goblo replied. They
walked to a mountain, and Bennie grumbled,”We have to climb this mountain?? Well, I guess I signed up
for this…” “Here, I have some supplies for you. Take this sword, it can slay goblins of any type. And take
this bag of wind, when used, it will blow a huge amount of wind that can help you escape. I’ll give you
later.” Matulo took a sword and a duffel bag from its pocket and handed it to Bennie.
Bennie put it back on his back, just like any other hero would do in a show. They walked up the snowy
mountain road, which was slippery and windy. Bennie and Matulo walked up the road, as a band of goblins
rushed towards them. One of them held an axe, one of them held a shovel, waving them as they attacked.
Bennie felt a rush of adrenaline, and took out his sword, and swayed his weapon against a goblin’s neck. It
cut through the neck like butter, and the neck fell to the ground. Bennie swung his sword again, and
another goblin fell to the ground, but there were too many of them.
More and more goblins came running in, and Bennie couldn’t handle them all. “There Goblo,” Bennie
shouted as he tossed Goblo the bag of air. Goblo jumped over the attacking goblins, carried Bennie and
Matulo, and opened the bag. A whooshing sound came out, and the trio flew away.
“That was good teamwork right there, Goblo and Bennie! I don’t think I could have survived without you
two.”
“Yeah, it was good teamwork. Well, we’re almost landing here, so prepare to continue.”
They dropped onto the ground and continued to walk up the road again. They came up across a very high
ledge, and no one was able to climb it. “Here, we’re gonna need all three of us to get through. So Matulo’s
going to use the final charge of the airbag to blow himself up and drop a rope down on us.”
“Thanks, Matulo. We couldn’t have done it without your help,” said Bennie, as they climbed up on the
rope.
They finally arrived at the temple of the oracle. They had become very close friends, they would help each
other to overcome challenges, and they provided aid to any other person on the way who needed it. Bennie
asked the oracle, “Are we near the treasure?” The oracle answered calmly, “The treasure is very close to
you, as it is in your hearts. The treasure is actually of adventurers to acknowledge the power of friendship
and helping each other. Congratulations, you three have finally achieved the true treasure buried in your
hearts.”
