THE Wall That Altered Destiny

Not long after we managed to find a little space with small pebbles scattered around.

I was glad that I no longer had to walk through knee-deep grass.

The area that we managed to find was small. The grass was gone, which was strange, but now instead of grass we have sand, but I was not going to complain. I would accept anything right now if it meant not being buried alive by grass, which was also getting extremely itchy at this point.

I waved my hand in defeat and sat down in the sand. Cathy however showed no sign of being worn down and was energetic and ready to go on.

"Wait .. wait. Let's haaah take a little break."

Cathy looked back and saw me sitting on the sand recollecting my breath.

"You know this is why I tell you to get out of your books and exercise," She said in a snarky manner.

"Excuse me" I replied in the same tone. "I don't know why I don't have the stamina of an idiot, but I don't have it, okay? "

Cathy scoffed but agreed to let me rest for a few minutes. She however didn't sit but kept looking around.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I looked around the place cause I was curious about the sand but there didn't seem to be anything special about it other than the fact that a literal dessert was in a forest. It was now possible to see the sun, which had been completely obscured by the trees prior to this point, and the sunlight was making the atmosphere as hot as possible.

As my thoughts were running wild a cute creature named Moss came into view. It was small barely the size of my hand, jumping on the sand.

This creature got its name from well moss cause it looks like a clump of moss but has the intelligence and functionality of an animal.

For some reason walking is replaced by jumping so they just jump around and look absolutely adorable when doing so.

Cathy still seemed to be surprised about the sudden sand and hot weather. How could she not be? Yes, where we were sitting it was hot but not a few steps away from us were trees.

But I pointed at the little moss who was bouncing away from us. We looked at each other, nodded, and began following it.

It came to realize that it was being followed and turned up his pace.

But we weren't going to give up either! Heck, we made it this far and we'll stick to it to the end.

Walking turned to running in a matter of seconds as we raced the cute moss that was trying its best to shake us off its trail.

Just as we were catching up we were stopped at what looked to be a dead end.

We were confused. I didn't understand how a dead end was even possible because it's a floating island! if we did run into a dead end we would see the ground ending not a giant wall!

The moss that we were chasing showed no hesitation and just when it looked like it was about to hit the wall he went inside it. It was as if it phased into the rock.

"Um, Cathy"

"Yes"

"I just saw a moss go into a wall right?" I said shocked.

"Gulp, Yes yes you did," She said hesitantly.

A rock wall huh of all the things I was expecting to find in this forest my familiar being one of them. A giant wall in the middle of the forest wasn't on top of my list. But I won't put it past this forest as well.

But what surprised me was that the creature went inside the wall without a hitch. Could this wall be an illusion? I began thinking, like I said I wouldn't put it past this forest.

But even before I could say or do anything someone also had a similar idea and decided to act first.

'Thud'

The noise pulled me out of my thoughts and I instinctively looked at it.

"Ugh"

"Cathy!" I yelled. "What in the mellis(world) are you doing?"

"Ouch... it hurts" she groaned.

"Of course, it hurts you idiot you freaking ran into the wall head first! what did you expect"

I ran towards her who was crouching on the ground and holding her head with both her hands.

" I thought it was an illusion Okay!" She murmured in pain.

I sat down near her and turned her head toward me.

"You of all people should be able to know if the wall was fake or not," I said whilst i monitored her condition to make sure she wasn't badly hurt.

"Well, that's the point!" She said.

"Huh?"

"I couldn't feel it it didn't seem like a wall to me"

"What?" I was confused.

How could she not be able to feel if the wall was real or not? It's her we're talking about.

"Hmmm," I went silent for a couple of minutes. "It could be that it's made of something else."

"oww yeah that could be it but if that's the case how could the little guy manage to go past it but not us"

"Yes, but we also have to understand that it was a part of the forest however we are not we are merely guest visiting for a short while."

"Yeah, so what do we do now should we head back then?" She asked.

"No, there is no way you want to give up do you?"

She smiled and hurriedly got up " Well then I guess we should start searching for a way then"

I couldn't help but smile as well.

"Hahaha well then we better start"

I stood up from where I was sitting and she followed after me. i touched the wall and it was just as it looked, it felt like stone.

" Haaah this is weird," She said rubbing her head.

She was as confused as I was. How could something that looks and feels like a rock not be a rock? And what's more surprising is that she can't feel its presence as if it doesn't exist.

I looked around and walked along the wall to see where it ended but it seemed it went on for a while. I looked up and the wall was the same height as the trees.

"Do you think if we climb the trees we can see the other side?"

"Hmm" Cathy nodded. " I'll take the trees you try to see if it ends"

I agreed.

"Hooh" Cathy took a deep breath gathered her strength and lept forwards.

As Cathy's jumped from the ground the land itself followed after, creating a pillar for her to step onto.

Though I have seen it many times I still find it captivating as the land beneath her feet rises allowing her to move as she wishes.

Cathy steadied herself on a piece of land that was following her feet and kept jumping till she landed on a tree.

She looked at me and I nodded as a form of okay and In a matter of seconds she was out of my sight.

"Ah, be careful not to mess with anything" I yelled.

But it seemed like she was already in a place where my voice could not reach. I sighed and began walking.

"This much walking is killing me" I grumbled. " I was not expecting this day to be this tiring... First this morning and now this"

I shook my head and kept walking while touching the wall as I went along.

This place was different than the forest, well I guess I shouldn't say that since this is a part of the forest. But man is this getting tiring after getting out of the forest I thought I could find some land but now I have Sand.

"This place just feels like a dessert"

I was starting to lose hope. The wall didn't show any signs of ending and there was nothing but sand no matter where I looked. When we found the wall only the path was covered in sand but it was still surrounded by trees but now I can't even see one.

"Did the forest suddenly change itself?"

Considering all that's happened that would be the most logical explanation but the problem with that conclusion is that the forest usually takes a few days to change and doesn't allow anyone inside it during that time period, but the fact that we're here means that that is not the case.

"You should really give me a break you know" I yelled in anger.

Who was I yelling at? The forest itself of course, i'm pretty sure that it's watching and listening to us. But when I yelled all I was met with was silence.

Ugh, this makes it clear that it had no intention of helping us.

"Ahh, I can't anymore"

Not being to take it anymore I sat down with my back against the wall.

I flicked my wrist and cupped my hand, the palm of my hand which was empty and dry was now filled with water. I drank the water and got rid of the thirst which was troubling me for a while now.

But while I was drinking it a few drops of water fell from my hand onto the sand near the wall. That's when I heard.

'Crack'

"Huh," I looked back and saw a crack in the wall. "Was this here before?"

I touched the wall but when I did another crack appeared under my hands. I was taken aback and withdrew my hands.

Wondering what caused the cracks to suddenly appear I looked down at the hands resting in my lap. I raised them and they were still wet.

"It can't be right?"

I had my suspicions and in order to confirm them I placed my hand on the wall again and just I expected a small crack happened.

"Aha, I was right"

I got up moved a few steps back and took a deep breath.

I placed my hand on my heart and began concentrating.

I called out and my call was received.

I cupped my hand and the hand which was empty was now overflowing with water which was dripping from my hand constantly the water falling, clumped together to form a giant ball of water in front of me.

As water kept overflowing in my hand, the water ball became wider and larger.

It wasn't long till the giant clump of water became larger than me. It looked like that was its limit. There were some droplets escaping the large body of water but were sucked back in.

"This should be enough I think, but is this gonna take a lot"

I touched the massive ball and it felt wet.

"Not surprising, I guess"

I pushed the water with all the force I could muster and it collided with the wall.

When it hit the wall it was like a water balloon hitting a hard surface and popping.

The water covered the wall making it wet, well at least that's what it looked like from where I was standing. There is no way I would have been able to cover the entire wall not since I'm sure it goes on for miles.

I waited for a while but nothing happened. Disappointed I said.

"Did I get it wrong?"

I started walking towards it when I heard the sound again.

'crack'

But this time It was louder.

"Eeek" I flinced and covered my ears."The wall it's ...... Ahgh!"

The wall cracked even more.

But this was different from before. The cracks before were babies compared to this.

The sounds were loud, loud enough to shake the entire forest and the cracks that kept appearing were getting larger and larger.

The ground under my feet roared and shook.

I tried to maintain my balance when.

'Boom'

The wall exploded causing debris to come flying at me at high speed. The effect of the explosion sent me flying and I hit the ground rolling.

My vision became hazy.

"No, not this again"

I started losing focus and the scene in front of me became blurry. My eyelids grew heavy, I slipped in and out of consciousness till finally succumbing to the warm embrace of sleep welcoming me with open arms.

The crumbling of the wall being the last thing I see before I lose consciousness.
