Of The 4 Temples: Northern temple


Cliff Rocks… Don’t know what day it is.

I woke up, I was still in bed on top of Cliff Rocks. The wind blew strong, rain and snow were piling up on my roof. Wait a minute, I’M ALIVE! How!? I thought I died… My cabin was full of spiderwebs and dust. I walked outside my cabin, and I saw an ENTIRE village in front of me. How did they manage to climb Cliff Rocks!? How long have I been gone for!? I walked up to a young girl. She looked so surprised to see me! I looked at her in wonder.

I asked her what day it was, and you wouldn’t believe what day it is! It is the 22nd of January 2021! I was asleep for 100 years! Then the girl asked me who I was, I’m Maverick Jenson I said proudly. “I’ve heard stories about you! Wait, you were the first to climb THIS MOUNTAIN!” I nodded in pride. “Woah,” Continued the girl. “We all thought you were dead! Are you a ghost!?” “No, I’m as real as ever.” I said with a confused face. The girl called out to the village. “EVERYONE! I THINK THIS IS MAVERICK JENSON!” Everyone gasped. “HE WAS LIVING IN THE HAUNTED CABIN!” “Wait, wait, wait. Haunted? My cabin isn’t haunted,” I screamed. “a boy once went inside, and never returned. That’s why we think it’s haunted.” “Well I was there the whole time.” I said. The girl looked at me in surprisement.


Cliff rocks… 22nd of January 2121 - 27th of January 2121

The girl called the village and rang the bells. Instantly people started crowding me, and asking me questions. I felt like a Celebrity, I enthusiastically answered all their questions with a smile on my face. I returned to my cabin, and started to clean the spiderwebs. When I was dusting my bed I felt something under the covers. I lifted up the blanket and inside I saw Pickles, but he wasn’t alive. His heart wasn’t beating. Wet tears rolled down from my eyes, to my chin. I picked up his body, and made a grave for him in the yard. All that happiness and joy that I had in the village. All turned into dust, Pickles’s face blurred in my mind. His chubby cheeks are full of carrots.

Then, an old woman put her hand on my shoulder. “My name is Hakada, I know the pain and misery you are going through. I know of 4 energy globes that might help you. They can bring your sweet pig back to life, it is hard to control. So I promise, if you give them to me. I can use it’s magic to bring your pig back to life.” “Really!? Oh thank you so much Hakada! But where do I get them?” I asked quickly and happily. As I wiped away my tears. “You get them from the 4 ancient temples. 1 in the north, 1 in the east, 1 in the south, and one in the west. It will be a treacherous journey. No one, in search of the energy globes. Has ever gone in, and come out.” “I will do anything to bring Pickles back.” I said bravely.


27th of January 2121 - 1st of February 2121

I happily went to bed the next day. The next morning I took my ENORMOUS backpack, and started climbing down Cliff Rocks. No one knew I was leaving except for Hakada. I figured if any of the villagers knew I was leaving, I would be stuck in the village forever. So, as Hakada waved goodbye to me. I headed North towards the 1st temple. The wind blew in my face, and my food supply was running low. I started to feel dizzy, so I slept in the cold under a cliff. I used my body warmth to keep warm. I shivered all night, the cold icy wind blowing in my face.

As I woke up the next morning I continued walking North. I was braver, and stronger than yesterday. I ate some apples for breakfast as I walked up a steep hill, without stopping. I missed home, I missed my parents. But I couldn’t give up, Pickles meant too much to me. I will do whatever it takes to bring him back. I swam in the cold icy water, climbed some of the tallest mountains, and explored the deepest caves. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find the Northern temple. I was bound to give up, sooner or later. The snowy wind blew my face, and I saw some light. So I walked towards it, it was a village.


1st of February 2121 - 10th of February 2121

I walked towards the village, closer and closer. I bought some carrots, munching on them slowly made me think of Pickles. I slept in an inn for the night, and the next day I bought some more food. As I was about to leave, I saw a huge house. I walked inside, a huge warm fire was flaring inside. There was an old woman sitting on some pillows on the edge of the room. “I was expecting you.” She said wisely. I looked at her in amazement.

“My name is Anita, we met when you were very young. As you disappeared for 100 years, you became a LEGEND… You climbed CLIFF ROCKS!” She said with enthusiasm. “You are a strong person, Maverick. I can only tell you one thing, the energy globes, they can bring and heal multiple people and loved ones back to life. Here, in this village. We have so many injured and dead, we hope you can return and save our humble village. There is a lookout, here on your map.” she said pointing at a dot on my map. “That lookout can surely help you find the Northern temple.” “Thank you, Anita.” I said as I slowly walked out. I walked north, towards the lookout.


10th of February 2121 - 20th of February 2121

I walked down the mountain which the village lay on. I climbed down, into a river. As the current shifted me around. The wind blew in my face, as the warm light brushed my face. The weather was perfect, I felt like I was floating on air. But that feeling didn’t last long, the rain started to pour from the clouds. Thunder and hail bagan striking the ground, but I wouldn’t let the blizzard stop me. It blew away my favorite lime green and brown bag, the one where pickles used to sit in. I ran until I caught it on the edge of a tall frightening cliff. I continued walking towards the Lookout. After a few hours of walking painfully in the rain. With the hail scratching my face. I saw a tall tower, and I walked up the stairs in wonder. As I arrived at the top, I could see a glowing dot. I took out my binoculars, and looked towards it. IT WAS A TEMPLE! But it was far, far away. Hidden, I looked at it in awe. But I only caught a glimpse of it, as the ground started to quake! An EARTHQUAKE! It wasn’t too strong, but it was strong enough to push me off the tower! I fell butt first towards the ground. As I thought I was going to die, maybe for the second time. I didn’t! I was on the ground. Struggling in pain, the massive height from where I fell felt much higher. I Fell to the ground in agony, but I walked North. Hoping to find the Northern temple, as I was limping the whole way long. As I finally arrived, At the Northern temple.

The Northern Temple... 20th February 2121- March 1st 2121.

I slowly walked inside the shivering cold, but also warm temple. As I entered, I was not aware of what was coming for me… I pushed open the enormous, rocky doors bravely. Inside I saw 4 hideous monsters. Controlled by the worst person ever lived… HYDRA… He is crazy good with machines and war. And he has managed to keep the war going for years… Hydra is nothing but a person full of envy and evil. I grabbed out my boomerang. And hit them with all my might, as the boomerang flew back into my hand. “Come and get me!” I said under my breath with frightening terror in my voice. The monsters hurled towards me in rage. Their faces are bright, in all kinds of colours in rage. Their sharp soulless bodies kicked me hard. Their heavy wooden clubs pierced into my skin. Leaving a cut full of blood, it healed quickly as I squinted my eyes. Trying not to feel the pain. I had enough of fighting, I won’t kill the monsters. They need to live, they are alive just as I am. I got my rope out and tied the monsters up to a pole. I walked slowly towards the glass case with the energy globe. Clutching my arm in pain. As I received the globe, I put it in my favourite bag. As I put it inside it glowed… And I knew that it was calling for the next globe…
