SIRAOKI MOUNTAIN

Siraoki mountain

The four friends stood in stunned silence, processing the gravity of Mason's realization.

Mason: "We're inside a storybook, and to survive, we must complete all the levels presented to us."

Owen's face paled as he began to tremble.

Owen: "What? Are we trapped in a deadly game? Mom, I miss you!"

Lian and Sophie, overwhelmed by fear, joined Owen in his distress.

Seeing his friends in despair, Mason took a deep breath, determined to stay strong.

Mason: "Guys, crying won't help us now. Time is ticking. We need to focus and figure out how to stay alive."

Luna nodded in agreement, her expression resolute.

Luna: "Mason's right. Let's pull ourselves together and face this challenge head-on."

Mason recalled details from the Suzan book series.

Mason: "According to the books, each character possesses unique superpowers. We need to discover ours to progress."

Owen wiped his tears, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Owen: "Do you think I have a superpower too?"

Mason: "Yes, we all do. We just need to uncover them."

Lian closed his eyes, concentrating.

Lian: "I feel... I can sense energies, like a beacon guiding me."

Mason: "That's incredible, Lian. Your ability can help us locate the 'manis' we need."

Suddenly, they noticed Sophie conversing with a pink rabbit.

Luna: "Wow, a pink rabbit!"

Owen: "Forget the color; she's talking to it! How is that possible?"

Sophie turned to her friends, her eyes wide with wonder.

Sophie: "I can communicate with animals and plants."

Mason: "That's your superpower, Sophie. You can gather information from nature."

Owen looked at Mason, anticipation evident on his face.

Owen: "What about me? What's my power?"

Mason: "We'll find out soon. Let's stay alert."

Lian focused, sensing a strong energy nearby.

Lian: "I sense a 'mani' within a deep lake ahead."

Owen: "But none of us can swim that well."

Mason stepped forward, a newfound confidence in his voice.

Mason: "I believe I can control the five elements: water, fire, air, earth, and ether."

The group stared at him in astonishment.

Luna: "That's an incredible power, Mason."

Mason: "Let's test it."

Approaching the lake, Mason concentrated, and the waters parted, revealing a path.

Owen: "Unbelievable!"

They ventured into the lake, following Lian's guidance.

At the bottom, they discovered a glowing object inside a clam.

Mason: "This must be the first 'mani'."

He retrieved it, and a booming voice echoed around them.

Voice: "Congratulations on obtaining the first 'mani.' Six remain, and you have five hours left. Fail, and one of you will perish."

Fear gripped them, but Mason remained determined.

Mason: "We can't afford to waste time. Lian, lead us to the next 'mani.'"

As they journeyed, the sky darkened.

Lian: "The next 'mani' is on Siraoki Mountain."

Sophie: "Let me ask the trees for directions."

She approached a nearby tree, placing her hand on its trunk.

Sophie: "Dear tree, can you guide us to Siraoki Mountain?"

The tree's leaves rustled as if whispering secrets.

Tree: "Beware, child. Siraoki is a haunted mountain."

Mason: "Did the tree tell you the way?"

Sophie: "Yes, but it warned that the mountain is haunted."

Lian: "We have no choice. Four of the remaining 'manis' are there."

Sophie: "The tree said to follow the bird it will send to guide us."

Luna: "Then let's move quickly."

A small bird appeared, chirping softly.

Owen: "Is this our guide?"

Sophie: "Yes, let's follow it."

They trailed the bird through dense forests and rocky paths until they reached the base of Siraoki Mountain.

Owen: "It seems eerie."

Mason : "Yah i know but we have to climb the mountain we dont have time"

They started climbing mountain as they start a mysterious shadow appears and comes towards them...

"Who are you ?" Shadow said.
