The Wrath of Gardenia
Have you ever wanted to become an adventurer and save the world well I didn't. Hi, my name is Ally and this is the story on how I got dragged into an almost apocalyptic situation that could've ended it all?

So where do I start? Ah let's start at the beauty parlor, when I got to work that day. So it was a normal day, I got up at 5 am and went for my morning jog and ate breakfast. Then I took a shower, got changed and went to work. I work on a table at a local beauty parlor called Flower Pastels. One day my boss instructs me to go and get some supplies out of the attic and I was a little reluctant to do it because, I have never been up there before but, when my boss tells you to do something you do it or he'll be pissed. When I went up there I got the supplies and as I was doing this something caught my eye it was an old piece of paper, a map I thought where did it lead to? I took out my phone and looked at google maps to see if I could find a matching set of land that corresponds with the map. And within 2 minutes I found it the map lead to somewhere in South Africa. After work, I went to my usual hangout and told my friends about the discovery and they were intrigued. My friends had already decided to go before I could wrap my head around it, like what was it doing in the attic of a beauty parlor and where will it lead us?

Then in the middle of my thoughts, I was asked by my friend Carol, "So, are you gonna come or what?"

I thought for a moment and said, "Well, I need to take a few weeks off of work-"

"Come on what's the worst that could happen?" James interrupted

"I guess you're right" I just couldn't help wondering what if this was up there for a reason that we couldn't possibly understand. So I took 4 weeks off and bought a plane ticket to South Africa and so did my friends. We all decided to pack tonight and leave the next day.

"Isn't this exciting?", said Carlos.

"Yeah, what do you think it is?", asked Carol

"Personally I don't care what it is, all I care about is the adventure" James proclaimed.

I sighed and said to the three of them, "whatever it is, it might be dangerous so let's not get our hopes up and keep a close eye out for danger." They all agreed. We got on the plane and flew to South Africa, I could tell you everything that happened on the plane but nothing really happened except for us just dreaming about what could be at the place indicated by the map. When we landed it was dark so we rented a room at a hotel and decided to start asking about the place shown on the map. When we got up we decided to start in the center of the town. It took a while to find someone who spoke English but, when we did the discovery was thrilling.

I was the one that asked, "Do you have any idea what is out there?"

He said, "Yes"

"Can you tell us?"
