"Where is he? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Smith remained silent. He had just finished setting up his tent, and he was waiting for Joanne who did not return after bringing fruits for them to dinner.
"Is he lost? It's good I'm looking for him, afraid he's lost." Smith stepped away from there to find Joanne who never returned from looking for fruits.
...*...
"This is real gold" said Joanne, smilingly looking at the gold in her grasp. But suddenly without warning, a flying creature moved as fast as lightning grabbed the gold in its grasp.
"Hey!" Joanne was shocked. He hurried back to chase the creature until all the fruits he was carrying fell on the ground.
Joanne continued to chase until she unconsciously ran to the cliff. "Stop you!" Shouted Joanne as she continued to run. His loud voice managed to be heard until Smith's ear which was not far from the scene.
Smith who heard Joanne's voice rushed up to chase after the girl.
Joanne kept running until she arrived near the cliff. Upon realizing there was a cliff ahead; rushing the girl jumped up and pulled the tail of the creature that had just brought her gold by force.
"Because of you!" Shouted Joanne with a smile, his hand managed to grab the tail of the creature.
He was stunned as soon as he realized that he was floating in the air, under which such a high abyss could be seen very clearly.
"YESY!!!" Joanne screamed in fear, she spontaneously tightened her grip on the creature's tail.
"Joanne!" Smith shouted.
"Smith! Help me!!" Shouted Joanne to Smith who was still searching for her whereabouts. Not yet had Smith found the origin of his voice, the creature had moved to take Joanne away from there.
"Joanne where are you?" Shouted Smith as he continued to step forward to find the origin of the voice he heard.
Smith reflexively ran following the origin of the sound, until arriving at the cliff. He was so surprised to see Joanne who is now brought light away by a strange creature with long tail.
"Joanne!!!" Smith was only able to scream without being able to reach her, Joanne's body was already far from his reach.
The creature continued to carry Joanne from there, until it disappeared from view.
"Aragh!" Smith was upset. Now it's not just Jackson who's disappeared in a flying creature, but Joanne as well. Now Smith is alone.
"What should I do?" He muttered softly with a troubled face.
...*...
"Here?" Jackson asked Laurence's old man.
"Yep." Laurence nodded his head. They had just arrived at the place where Laurence was showing that was none other than the place where Jackson was being carried by the eagle.
"This is where I fell, but where's the nest? I didn't see him at all."
"There." Laurence pointed towards the towering cliff somehow reaching how many meters upwards.
"Where?" Jackson didn't see it.
"Behind this cliff, there's a secret place back there. And you'll see it when you get in there." Laurence Obviously.
"But how can I get in?"
"We wait until the eagle returns and enters the nest. He'll be back soon. He usually goes home hunting in the afternoon before dusk. But in order for the eagle not to know we're tailing him inside, then we have to hide." Laurence was obviously on him.
