The tale of Josh

.

.

.

As the group of new fr friends set off the work at first bold and majestic, but to a few miles away they became exhausted and walked sluggishly.

But for Josh, Skype, Aniline and Jack, these few pretend to be strong and ignored laziness with Juliet resting her head on Josh's shoulder as they went on.

The others demanded to camp at Five o'clock when at most, few eyes grabbed the presence of a huge iguana-a reptile, about 3ft high in size approaching their presence.

Josh commanded that Constant and ben take the two ladies to safety while the rest stay back and bring the iguana to its knees.

All actions were taken and as the other four hid, the nine others and Felix drew out their swords and confronts the deadly reptile, each attempt was to nothing.

"How dire of much consequence it would be to attempt to destroy the little magic creature of my fathers!" A voice screamed through the echoing forest towards the scene of battle.

As the person that had the voice appeared and proudly ordered the iguana. "Be calm little, I said. Harm them no more!"

Josh who would always show presence as the leader exclaimed in a challenge to proceed kill. "Speak if I may know you better."

The little boy of fourteen of age opened his lips. "I am Jimmy Tarland, and this is my gift from my dad, see!" The boy looked at the iguana. "He protects me all the time and can destroy five able men at a twinkle of your sexy eyes."

He looked at Josh and the other men. "Please move no further, it is friendly to people." He smiled and look at the iguana. "I say calm, calm boy." He told it and it calms.

"His name is bully. He is friendly as I said earlier, my father used him to hunt and for me, since my people are no more, I use this to help any human in need of companionship to a dangerous journey." Jimmy explain further.

Josh who seems impressed walk closer and touch the little boy's head. "Now you see boy, I need help in this my quest, I and my crew and I need your companion to journey northwest with me."

He looked at the iguana and then back at the boy. "But now you see, we should camp now and julificate before dawn approach for any move at hand."

Josh turned to his left and shouted. "Please show your presence my dears! Come out and set the camp."

Juliet, Skye and the others came out from their hiding place and the whole place was filled with good food and Skye returned to her real face and altogether the others started the loving gaze already.

Josh and Juliet, the discussion was far from over not to be detailed, while few friends laughed all night to their satisfaction. Finally, they bit their lips to the calm and quiet night.

...

The next morning, they all gathered leftover prepared meal of the past night and eat little till they set off.

Only wise Zeugen would hold his breakfast and chew at an interval as he walked on.

He normally stays in the middle, saying to the others. "Many benefits those the middle man gains." And the others would take it as a joke.

But the word Zeugen uses to end his speech is. "A joke is a serious thing." But the others still laugh it off.

And each time they move, he would make another joke and would say. "A team of quiet friends is not friendly at all."

"Peninsula!" Anikene joyfully exclaimed. "We would like it here because I love watching things that would attract my pleasure such as this great mushroom I see here."

Anikene continued as he moved to pluck one mushroom and drawing it close to his nose to smell when at most, he perceived danger approaching his sight.

Before he could alert the others, unknown soldiers surrounded the family of friends.

And the soldiers looking much like the Bush kinds, threw ropes immediately and tied them all including the smart Anikene.

Josh who looked smarter cut the ropes which rolled to his shoulders before it could tight and rushed the crowd, but can one man conquer this way? No!

He was made to lay flat on the ground as a female warrior whacked him by the face. "Master!" Juliet screamed.

And the lady who seems to be the Head of the warriors gazes at Josh again. "Master right!" She said to the others.

Realizing he was the leader of the crew she smirked. "Take him to Corder and destroy him to the reptiles." She ordered some of her warriors.

They move to take hold of josh. The cry of captivity took the voice of the rest to another direction where Josh had no idea of detecting.

The tale of Josh.

.

.

.

As Josh Squint to the cloud with his hands tied backwards, he tried to get up and finally, he succeeds to be erect.

And him turning round and round, he saw cone nets and huge trees and to his back, the gate with little roddy openings.

And he ran towards the person on which he saw in one of the cone nets far off to his watch.

As Josh approached the cone, a voice of an old man raised an alarm. "Come in quick!"

"Which way?" Josh exclaimed. And then the old man pulled up the cone net and let him through.

Josh who is exhausted fell to the ground and plead that his hands be loosed.

"How did you get to Peninsula?" The old man asked Josh as he loses the rope tied to Josh's hands.

"Journey and quest I known to have no idea, but as my people bold my heart, I am here to witness how dreary it might be in the awful decision," Josh replied.

Josh looked around and turned back to the old man who helped him sit up. "So what is this place?" He asked.

"My name is Stone. Welcome to the world of Cordor the zone of flesh destruction." The old man told him.

"Flesh destruction you said?" Josh said as he intended to speak continuously, a huge reptile known as Sauropodomorpha came forth groaning.

And immediately it began to speak, to Josh surprise, and stone immediately faced the Sauropodomorpha.

"Please my lord, leave this little for me!" Stone cried in a loud voice. "I have sacrificed much to your throat and stomach, even my best friend and now I have nothing left apart from this stranger."

"I beg you to let him be for this evening and the next morning our de rigueur deal will proceed. Exercise patience." Stone pleaded on his knees.

Then the Sauropodomorpha hit the cone net at which it cannot reach the inside and then it stepped back and moved on.

After some shocking surprise, Josh began to speak in fear for the first time. "What was that, and what does it want from you, and how did you become its friend and how did you both come to have a deal, and even so, how did you get here?"

Stone could see the fear in Josh's eyes. "Be thou still and fear not. You talk too much and ask many questions." He paused. "At first you look tame, but suddenly no more of that category."

How can anyone be calm after seeing that kind of creature? Josh still was euphoria to get all stones details, when at length Stone told him that he must escape through the night to the last cone net if he must escape death otherwise the next dawn.

And josh who kept asking. What benefits has the cone net at the end of the yard and how does that lead to the outside?"

But the old Stone told him about the past friends he had and what they suffered to make a tunnel through the ground inside the last cone net.

And all the suffering that end them dead even to the most belly tummy of many awful dinosaurs which further end their history.

As the dark evolved, Stone gave Josh a crystal stone to point the apex at an eye of each creature which confronts his part and that if he does that he could never be seen by the creatures.

So many weapons were given to Josh by stone, and Josh trusting him turned to Stone. "Why not you join me?" He asked him.

But Stone disagreed with his request and Josh having no say no, took his leave and headed for the last cone net.

On his feet, as he was about approaching the net, a Bald Eagle flew past his head as it headed for a large Pterosaur insight of Josh's view.

They both made a bombia-bombia friction sound to begin a fight and Josh being on his right foot of boldness moved quickly to stand his ground for a slay.

Since the action was going on at the front of the last cone net, but he suddenly got interrupted when another danger approached his left.

"West boy, West boy." His brain recorded to forsake the forward scene and take action.

He turned to the West-his left side, and groaned in anger and exceeding readiness to attack or cut every move made by the ichthyosaur.

As the action commends, a huge dinosaur showed up and the golden Eagle helper also attacked the Pterosaur with the Bald Eagle. Just as if the gods sent help.

Josh ran into the cone net and shut it close and he stood for a while gazing at the play and later he turned to recognise he was in danger when he looked downwards into a hole behind him.

The hole was full of cobwebs and then he lit the glowing magic crystal and used his sword to separate the joining of the cobwebs to his entrance.

And so, he stepped into a long tunnel and he stood for a few moments soliloquizing to himself. "Stone was right, this place is of a sure true."

"I would never forget him nor his friends who contributed to my escape from Cordor, and it's true now I see that am nothing but a glutton human as most friends conclude."

Then he moved on to the inside and as he approached the round hole of light, a huge spider of probably his height creep forward to eat up his head from behind.

As the spider creep forward to eat Josh's head, he immediately brought forth the crystal stone from his bag and as he pointed it forward, a right glittering light ray incidence at the eye of the giant spider.

And the spider came trembling backwards and Josh the smart, moved quickly to action and cut the abdominal part of the spider, and the spider went bursting.

After a while, Josh gasp and soliloquize further. "Good magic from a good name friend, this crystal stone, Mr Stone would keep recalling your help to my memory."

Then Josh who had many jobs to finish stood up again and began to widen the hole to see daylight.

As he hit the muds, the morning light splashed through the hole and at last, he meandered out and laid like someone having to go to fall ill of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME).

After some few moments, he perceived footsteps approaching by, he then came to full strength again and ran to hid behind a pyramid to wait patiently for the slight moving human close by.

As he watched two warriors come passing the edge of the pyramid, he throws a short smart knife on one head to make it prick into his head.

And the other warrior who was still talking to a dead standing man caught notice when at once the warrior fell to the ground.

Before the other warrior could raise an alarm, Josh was too close and he cut off the other throat and made it roll to the ground.

By these actions, he just brought down the two warriors and Peninsula decreased by two.

Josh pushed the two bodies to the hole he had earlier came out from and headed forward to find his group.

The frost and dew actions made the day visibility very poor and josh who suddenly appeared to the cage at which his friends were after much search, broke it open.

"Friends! Time to kick some ass and move on. " He said to them in a low voice.

Then the whole friends moved out and each spoke at the same time with sad voices. "Ben and noble are gone." They all chant.

"Clear me to brief," Josh told them quickly since he didn't understand what they meant by gone.

And so on, sad Zeugen sang softly. "Oh, my dear, they are dead, and then what a piece of flesh of me is left." He wept.

Josh was in anger as he roared like a lion and it went so far and echo all way round the city.

Then he grabbed firm to his arm his sword and a lighted fire burning with flames on a stick and he began so, to set each net on fire in the village.

Burning every house and slaying each warrior of the town that confronts his part and so on the friends gave a helping hand.

As they moved on, fighting and killing, it seems to others, the gods of their principal world just possessed the captive to be unconquerable.

And so at length, they wandered away as the town of Peninsula began to burn.

Into the bush and running towards coats island and then they all rushed into a ship which waved them by the wind of daylight all around the water bodies out of the reach of their control till they were deposited at Albany river again.
