Adrenaline

Dash ran fast to go straight to his house, packing up an antique that he thought was a fall from the sky.

"I'll be rich!!!" He said all the way home.

'Crack'

He was silent for a moment when on his way home, he suddenly heard a broken branch around the bushes right on his left.

He stayed motionless all, as he slowly turned his head in the direction where the voice came from. When Dash turned to his left, he saw a large black shadow hiding behind the bushes. The moonlight that night helped him know that behind the bushes something was lurking with those glowing eyes.

He squinted his eyes when he saw that something was shining from behind the bushes.

Dash widened his eyes when he realized that it was the lord of the hill who was stalking him right now.

"Cheetahs!"

Quickly without thinking Dash ran with all his might to get away from the cheetah that had been stalking him.

But the cheetah was attracted by something that moved at night, especially with the thing Dash Hale was carrying that emitted a little light. Make the animal happily chase after him now.

Dash jumped high as he crossed several small rivers on the border and soon he should be at the end of the border.

He looked back to see if the beast was still chasing him, he slowed down when he felt that the beast was not following him.

"Aaaaa!"

But his guess was wrong because it turned out that the beast was still chasing him. Quickly Dash returned to running with all his might to escape from the beast.

The shortcut that he took was impossible for him to go back because it would be very dangerous and buy time if he had to go down that steep descent.

Dash immediately changed his way home to a cliff not too far from him.

"I swear, I don't want to die first! This could make me rich!" He said while holding the thing he had packed in his cloth bag now.

The cheetah that was chasing him was getting closer and closer and it felt like there was less and less the beast was able to grab Dash Hale's leg.

"Okay, I'll bet this!"

He jumped off a cliff so high to dodge the attack from the Beast that had just chased him, and nearly took his life.

And this time it turned out that he dared to jump from the side of a cliff that was a bit far away from the shortcut, it turned out that Dash had dared to jump into a fairly deep river at the cliff top of the hill.

"Well, I hope I don't die!"

He said and after that, he fell into a river that was so calm yet so deep.

'Byurrr!'

With the sound and splashes of water created by the free-fall, he did manage to make a sudden noise and bustle in the calm waters area in the middle of the night.

Dash held his breath as hard as he could and moved his legs to swim toward the surface of the water.

"Ahhhh woahhhhh!"

The roar of his breath was so short, that it made it difficult for him to breathe again after he reached the surface of the water.

He quickly swam to the river bank.

Dash immediately spread his arms and lay on his back on the river bank.

"Huahhhh! Yes!" His scream echoed through the cliff that was now right in front of him.

His eyes did not stop looking at the towering cliff in front of him.

He didn't expect that he jumped off the cliff he was now measuring with his hands. He closed his eyes and then measured the height of the cliff with his fingers.

"Huh yeah, you're great Dash!" He shouted once again satisfied with his achievements tonight. And he realized after the jump he was carrying a very valuable object. But when he was on the river bank it was no longer with him.

"Huh, where is it!" Dash said as he looked around for what he found.

"There it is!" He immediately ran in the direction where he saw that the thing he was carrying was floating on the surface of the water, and was now almost swept away by the current. Quickly Dash threw himself swimming to retrieve the object he found earlier.

After much effort, the thing he had found earlier in the forest had managed to return to him.

"Thank God! I'll be rich soon!" He said once again while hugging and kissing the thing he found, in the forest earlier.

Little didn't he know that the thing he was carrying now was the last Griffin Egg.

Dash immediately decided to go home because it was late, and maybe if he went straight home his Grandmother would be very angry with him, for being too late on the hunt.

And the other hand that he didn't bring any meat to take home.

So he decided not to go home, instead, he went straight to the barn where his grandmother's corn and tubers were stored.

The barn wasn't too far from his house, but there was already a place where Dash used to rest. Because he rarely sleeps at home when he has to meet his older brother because he is very lazy if he has to be teased by his older brother.

Dash went into the barn and then removed the wet clothes that were still clinging to his body.

He dried his wet clothes by the fireplace from the stove in the barn.

Fortunately, the drying area was usually also inside the fairly large barn, so it was very easy for him to get a change of clothes for him to wear that night.

After changing, Dash headed straight for the thing that fall from the sky and was still in his cloth bag.

He took it out, looked at it carefully, and then shook it, but there was no sound coming from inside.

"How did you float earlier?" Dash said while paying close attention to the object he was holding.

"It's too heavy, it should sink! But come on, I have to rest tonight, and tomorrow I will sell you!" He said as he kissed a few times the oval red object that he was now carrying.

"Tomorrow we are rich!" He said while hugging the thing he was carrying lying with him.
