Supremacy Games

After the girls and Bodidi said their goodbyes to the villagers and the chiefs, they grouped up with Felix in the training ground.

"Supreme Elder, we would like to get teleported near the Mire Marauders." Felix requested politely.

The distance between the two tribes stretched beyond the horizon...Felix didn't want to travel on foot with his party as he knew that it would take way too long.

Since he never visited the Mire Marauders' territory, he couldn't open a dimensional mirror to it...The same applied to Bodidi as he needed exact coordinates or visited the place once.

"That will cost you a food container for each member." Elder Strauvis anwsered.

Felix agreed to the payment and beamed the food containers to the side...He had to add another one since Miss Monaka was going with them as well.

Without further ado, Elder Strauvis teleported them a couple of kilometers outside of the Mire Marauders' Tribe.

The moment Felix and the others opened their eyes, they realized that they were placed within a gloomy vast forest with pitch-black leafless trees.

The sky wasn't as sunny and welcoming anymore...It was covered completely in gray gloomy clouds, making the atmosphere unpleasant and somewhat harrowing.

"The tribe is in front...Please, follow me." Miss Monaka requested as she floated deeper into this nightmarish forest.

In a short while, they encountered a huge, ominous swamp, which seemed to have absolutely no end.

The scent of decay was overpoweringly unpleasant, and the earth seemed soft and mushy beneath their feet as if it would give way at any second.

From the murky waters, tall cypress trees with twisted roots grew, creating unsettling shadows on the calm surface. The creepy feeling was heightened by the way that hanging moss swayed in the light air.

The air was filled with a disturbing cacophony of buzzing insects and croaking frogs in addition to creepy unfamiliar noises.

"Be careful." Felix warned as he noticed a large green alligator with three heads moving stealthily across the water with its eyes fixed on them.

"I will handle it." Selphie said as she pointed her wand at the alligator.

With a soft audible murmur, the alligator seemed to have been affixed in its place like it was paralyzed. But everyone knew that she had frozen it in time as the water around it was also unmoving.

"Gives me the creeps every time I see it." Bodidi murmured to himself.

"It will be released after a few minutes." Selphie shared with a faint smile.
