Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 24

"What? Crystal?" Asa clasped his mouth and shifted closer to his twin.

 

He looked around the dome; there were a lot of crystals there, but all of them were big. Too big to be taken and carried around. Asa wasn't even sure they could pick those crystals off the ground.

 

"Something you can pick up?"

"I think so," Kar nodded. "It's small. It has mana inside."

 

Asa gasped and did a little dance with his feet. He had almost given up and had been devastatingly thinking that he might have to catch one of those glowing bugs or worms to be presented as a gift. Weird, he knew, but strangely enough, Nari loved weird things like bugs and worms and other small animals even though Uncle Shin abhorred them.

 

But if he didn't have to catch any bugs or worms, Asa would be the happiest boy!

 

"Should we go there?" he whispered eagerly.
