Somewhere in the Amazon


It has been five days since the group left the city of Manaus, a Brazilian city located in the heart of the Amazon. It was where Coswall and his expedition started from based on the notes that Lucas had acquired from accessing Coswall's house. Following the route seemed easy, but when dealing with the Amazon, a realm that none of the group had been in before. It was more challenging than thought. More so since they had to go on foot after leaving Manaus. Leaving the comfort of civilization behind, and into the green jungle that is the Amazon.

The sun was just at the highest point in the sky as its rays beat down on the group. Making the already moist and hot jungle even hotter. But with the salvation that was a cool breeze and tree cover. The group was protected from the sun. The Amazon was alive and well at this hour, birds and other life were adding to the sounds of the jungle. Along with the annoying bugs that live here.

The group has not encountered any trouble yet, except for a rainstorm on the third day of the expedition, which made everyone miserable. But still they soldiered on, led by Lucas. Mainly since it was his idea for this whole thing, and he was the one with Coswall's notes and learned the route he took. Even though he is the youngest person on the expedition. It was a burden that Lucas was not used to, but given the goal of the expedition. He was willing to bear it for now. Anything to find out what happened to his mother.

As the group got closer to the temple that Coswall claimed held the pathway to the Lost World. Lucas was half looking ahead, half looking at Coswall's notes in his journal. This had to be the way, Lucas thought hopefully. It has to, he had used enough money on this, and this is the only clue he found that can lead them to Coswall's lost expedition. This has to be the way.

But as he was half paying attention, Lucas missed a tree root and fell to the ground on some more roots. Still clinging to the open journal as he lay there on his stomach. "Urgh," Lucas let out as he checked the journal, and it was still okay. Making an impromptu stopping point, Lucas tried to get up with one hand on the journal. Making some progress.
