The One Who Collects

In the middle of the desert, you can see five people walking while wearing cloaks and had the hood covering their faces. They were moving sluggishly around each other.

Of course, this was Adam and his group. Back when they had just escaped from Sand shark, they had been arguing with each other for months trying to see who will talk last. Adan will keep saying 123 while either Adam or Agate will talk after that, and then it will continue again. However, that energy had now faded, and the entire group was just moving forward like mindless drones now, having fallen into a dead silence. The game had no winner. They all stopped talking at the same time. Like someone pressed the stop button.

The clock they are wearing was what Adam got from his starter pack. Since the system didn't have an inventory, Z had to teleport the cloke close to their location and told Adam where it was. Adam led them there and they then found this 'mysterious' cloke.

It has been five years since they had run from the sand shark. To quenched their thirst, they had to drink cactus juice. However, the liquid contained a powerful hallucinogen. The first time they drank the cactus juice, Adam started talking about death, Aaron and Aerin kept repeating whatever Adam said, Agate kept resisting all the poem he ever read While Adan kept saying shut up.

After the hallucinogen wore out the next morning, they fell and slept on the desert floor for three days. They didn't like the hallucinogen the cactus juice gave them but they had to drink it in other to survive.

The second time they drank the cactus juice, they fought each other nearly to death.

The third time they drank the cactus juice was after going without water for over a month and this made them hallucinate. Aaron and Aerin started fighting each other calling themselves monster. Adan thought he saw a beautiful girl so he ran off somewhere. Agate thought he saw a floating library so he too ran off somewhere. Adam thought he saw the death reaper so he too ran off. Therefore they separated.

Adam kept running for a long time until he fainted. When he woke up, Z told him something.

*Flashback*

"Where am I? Why is everything dark? Am I dead? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."

[Shut up, you are not dead. It just night time.]

"Ha... HAHA... HAHAHAHAHA... I thought I was dead."

[You are stupid. Ok now,]

"Yes?"

[I have something for you.]

"Huh? What is it?"

[These.

Elemental change Fire seed.

Elemental change Water seed.]

"What are these?"

[You can give this to your group. If a fire bender takes the Water seed, their element will change to water.]

"Uh-huh. But why are you giving me this? I thought nothing is free."

[I like those boys so I gave them to you. I mean, they are going to be your group while you do your mission yeah?]

"Yeah."

[So that all of them cant be earth-benders. One of those big boys have a high talent for earth-bending and the other doesn't have any bending but like his muscles, so the fire seed and the water seed should be given to Adan and Agate.]

"Oh ok. But how will I find them?"

[Why you asking me? I am not going to help you.]

"Then I got to find them my self."

*Flashback End*

After that, he walked for a month looking for them, drinking cactus juice when he got thirsty. He finally found them when he was running to a cactus for its juice to quench his thirst. They met and started fighting for who will get the cactus. Adam won because he finally used all his other bending except water because there is no water in the desert.

They were surprised and called him the Avatar. He said he's not the Avarter and lied and said he mistakenly stumble into the sprite world when he was away from the group. He found a seed and thought it was food so he ate it and it gave him the ability to control all the elements. He even exaggerated the story saying he had to fight a 1000 man army of sprite before he could leave the sprite world with the seed.

He then showed them the water and fire seed. Agate quickly took the water seed and ate it. He then tried to control the cactus juice, but it didn't work. Adam then told him he needs more practice to be able to move the cactus juice. The twins didn't want the fire seed because they liked earth-bending. Aden took the fire seed happily. He started sooting small fire out of his palms laughing calling himself the fire King. After that, the journey continued.

Agate kept practicing water-bending with a cactus he carries around. Aden kept practicing fire bending, while Adam kept practicing all element water, fire, wind, and sand bending. The twins too practiced sand bending.

And like that five years went by. Drinking cactus juice when thirsty. Hallucinate. And anytime they saw any sand sharks, they use it to practice their bending.

That was first happy with the new things they could do in the desert, yet now, all they could feel was fear toward the desert.

Every step they took, their feet sunk down into the sand. All of them soon drifted into daydreams of delusions and despair...

Where are we?

How long will it take before we can get out of this desert?

Why does this place feel so familiar? Are we walking in circles?

"Hey Adam, do you think we are walking in circles?" Agate asked.

"No, I don't think so," Adam answered lazily dragging his foot.

"I think we are. Look I saw that stone three times again. Adam who is in front of you?"

"Adan."

"Then who?"

"In front of Adan is Aerin. In front of Aerin is Aaron. And in front of Aaron is... You. WE ARE FOLLOWING EACH OTHER!" Adam screamed in disbelief.

"That why we haven't found a new cactus juice for a long time," Adan said slumping down on the ground.

"Yeah." Aerin and Aaron said.

They just sat there.

*A long-time later*

"Hey, I see a river. IT REALLY A RIVER!" Adan shouted and started running toward the river running crazily while using fire to bost himself.

"HAHAHAHA!!! YES FINALLY." Agate said running.

"HAHAHAHAHA..." They all laughed crazily as they ran toward the river as fast as they can.

*BAM*

"AHHHHH!," Agate screamed in agony.

"What did we ran into?" Adam said rubbing his head that bleeding.

"It a... Tower. IT REALLY A TOWER." Adan shouted happily, "Look, there a window up there, Enter it! ENTER IT!!!" Fire came out of his hand then he rocketed himself up and through the opening.

Adam spun around and used air to push himself up into the opening. Aaron controlled sand and made a stair toward the window. Agate, Aerin, and Aaron then climbed the stair. When they entered the window they fell two stories down. They saw Adam and Adan standing in place looking at a particular place.

"What are you staring at... Oh my Jesus. Wait who is Jesus? It a giant owl monster. Kill it." Agate shouted.

Adan quickly shoots a blast of fire at the Owl. The fire blast his hit the Owl on its beak.

*Shriek*

Aerin then stomped and two pillars of stone came out of the floor and hit the Owl on its abdomen, blood gushing out its wound on its abdomen.

*Shrrrriek*

It tried to fly but Aaron jumped and grabbed it left and right talons, he spined three times while holding the owl and tossed it toward a row of bookshelves. It slammed and knockdown about five bookcases.

"Quick open its mouth," Agate shouted running toward the giant owl while the cactus juice was flowing around him.

It kept struggling while Aaron tried to pry open its mouth. Adam stomped his foot and a small boulder rose up in front of him. He then did a punching motion and the small boulder launched toward the Owl head.

*Bam**Shrrrriek*

It stopped struggling and Aaron managed to pry open its mouth. Agate did a slow body motion and the cactus juice flowing around him entered the owl open mouth. Aaron then let go of it.

The owl flapped its wings and a powerful wind pushed Aaron back toward a bookcase. The Owl started dancing. Doing front flip, backflip, and singing.

"This hallucination won't last long, we need to kill it," Adan said looking at the stupid giant owl.

"We can just run..." Agate said walking toward the window.

"And leave this place then go back to that scary desert? No thanks. A new fire king like I, need a palace to start my journey of concurring and building my kingdom. There is a palace right here for me to concur as long as we kill that Gaint Owl." Adan said sounding mad.

"You, a King?" Adam asked confused.

"Yes, I am going to be the new fire king. Now how do we kill this Owl?" Adan said solemnly.

*Shrrrriek* "You greedy human." The owl shouted after getting out of its hallucination.

"It's awake," Aaron said getting in a fighting position.

"Everyone, move behind me," Adam said taking out a glowing stone from his cloak pocket.

"What that?" Aerin asked moving behind Adam

When everyone got behind Adam, he threw the stone at the owl.

"Seriously? A stone?" The Owl said. It then tried to hit the stone away. But once his Tallon hit the stone, it shattered and s.u.c.k.e.d the Owl in before it can even be surprised.

"What is that?" Agate said shocked. They all looked toward Adam.

"You know how I found the fire and water seed?" Adam asked. They all nodded, "Well I found this stone too. I didn't know what it could do so I just kept it in my pocket. I guess it could take someone to the sprite world."

"You know, I never believed you when you said you went to the sprite world, I thought you created it and was the. But I guess I do now," Adan said astonished.

"I am the Avatar I can casually change anyone's bending," Adam said sarcastically.

[Become the master of Wan Shi Tong's Library: Completed]

"... WHAT???" Adam screamed.s

"Wait what happened?" Aerin and Aaron asked looking around.

"No nothing. I just noticed my king, that we had become the master of Wan Shi Tong's Library. The Owl we just beat is Wan Shi Tong." Adam said happily.

"Wan Shi Tong's Library huh? I heard that the library is the size of a large palace. So this is it huh. This will be a good palace for my kingdom." Adan said trying to sound calm.

"You really want to be a king?" Aaron asked

"No seriously. I don't want to rule. I want to be a true fire-bender that no fire bender will all respect me. And they will worship me after I pass away." Adan said seriously.

"What of you Agate?" Adam asked

"Me? I want to be just like Adan but with water nat fire." Agate said.

"What of you Aaron?" Adam asked Aaron.

"I want to be the strongest man physically and very muscular since I have no bending," Aaron said.

"I want to be the best earth bender and be respected by all earth benders," Aerin said smiling. "What of you Adam?"

"HAHA, me? I want to be the only one to master of all bending without beaning the Avatar. I also want to be the strongest overlord that everyone will be scared of." Adam said smiling. "We should all work toward our goal together as a group. You with me?"

"..." Everyone looked at each other.

"Yeah." They all said laughing.

"What about the revenge of our brothers?" Aerin asked suddenly.

"Meah, let them be. The strong survive and the weak dies. So let get strong and not be killed." Adan said shrugging.

"Yeah, true." Adam said while he thought 'Not like I ever wanted to do it'

"We should take off this cloak ow we are out of the sun," Agate said, taking off his cloak.

"We really changed after five years," Adan said while looking at everyone.
