Chapter 44

Because the mine here is sealed and it is forbidden to use power stones.

Okay, and why? Suzu looks strange.

You can't really tell.

Ok, so you don't know why the developers removed it.

Yes, that's right.

Ok then let's just keep walking.

I think we are faster on the road if we ride on Mauzi.

Yeah good idea you're not that stupid.

Mauzi turns back into a big cat suzu climbs on Mauzi's back and may pleads on his shoulder.

Mauzi runs at full throttle and they pass goblins and turnoffs but Suzu says.

Mauzi always run straight ahead.

Meow.

And after they have been running for about 30 minutes, a gorge appears in front of them.

In the middle of the gorge is a swedish island. And on this island burns a green flame.

What is that and how do we get there? Suzu asks.

I don't know, but it looks very strong.

Yes, and green flames are rare?

Yes, very. Says Mai in a strong voice.

Okay, and how do I get over there?

Suzu climbs off Mauzi's back.

That's about 100 meters, right?

Yes, it should be there. Says Mai in a questioning voice.

What do you want to do Suzu?

I'm wondering if Mauzi can jump that far.

Please what if you fall under it you'll be back at the tower.

Suzu walks to the edge and looks down into the gorge.

I can't see the bottom, how deep is the gorge?

They say the gorge has no bottom, and if you fall in, you'll keep falling without ever reaching the bottom.

Suzu swallows and says ok.

Yes, and that's why I would consider just trying to jump over there.

Mauzi comes running forward. Meow.

What is Mauzi. Rauuu.

Can you make the jump or what do you want to tell me?

Meow Rauu.

Do you think we should try?

Mauzi nods his head.

Ok, if you believe that, let's do it.

Suzu climbs on Mauzi's back and says.

Mai come on.

Yes, but I warned you.

Yes, come on now.

Mai jumps on Suzu's shoulder and Mauzi runs back a bit to get started. Mauzi runs and jumps off on the last centimeter.

He flees through the air in a high arc. But just before he reaches the island he goes down.

Mauzi can just hold on to the edge of the island and pull himself up.

Puu. That was close but well done Mauzi.

Meow.

Suzu strokes Mauzi on the head.

Suzu runs to the green flames.

He reaches out his hand may scream.

Stop do not touch.

Suzu turns around with a questioning look and says.

Why should I?

Then what are you going to do? Mai asks.

I wanted to see if it was an item and if I could collect it.

Achs so sry then go on.

Suzu puts out his hand again and looks to see if it's an item.

I can't open a window.

Then it's not an item, what do you want to do now?

I don't know, but how do we get out of here?

The island is too small for Mauzi to get to.

So what do we do now?

Meow Rauuu Meow.

Mauzi starts to panic slightly.

A piece of the island breaks off and falls into the gorge.

Mauzi turns back into a little cat.

Suzu opens the window but can't press the transform button.

Mai, why can't I press the button?

I don't know. But if he keeps doing that he's going to push us down.

Yes, I know you can't force him to transform.

Yeah, I can't.

More and more of the island is breaking off and falling down the gorge. They keep going towards the green flames and can't get out of the way.

Mauzi calm down but everything will be fine just turn back.

Mauzi looks at Suzu with a frightened look and starts to whimper.

Everything will be alright Suzu strokes him on the head, you just have to change, will you?

Meow.

Mauzi is about to turn back into a small cat when a loud scream can be heard through the shadows.

He immediately turns back into a big cat, but the island can't stand it and keeps breaking.

Mauzi everything will be fine.

The green flame goes out Suzu doesn't notice because he is busy calming down Mauzi.

Mai notices this and says to Suzu.

Suzu turn around and look what is behind.

Suzu turns around and sees a book floating in the air.

What is it? Suzu asks.

Mai answers a grimoár.

A grimoar...?

It doesn't matter, I'll just take it.

Suzu opens his inventory and puts the grimoár inside.

At the same moment the whole island falls apart.

Aaaa. Suzu screams and falls into the abyss.

Him the tiffe black uncertainty.
