Jason woke up in his small shaggy hotel room and opened his brown bag. He pulled out the map inside and took a glance at it. The next place he saw, was called Skull Rock Volcano. Jason put on his clothes and tied his belt around his pants, then he slid his sword in it's sheath and went outside. Jason started walking a couple of steps and to his left was a  stable. He knew he needed a faster mode of transport so he entered it. He went up to the counter and gave the stable owner eight gold shillings. The owner escorted Jason to a beautiful white stallion and Jason hopped on the saddle. Then he exited the stable on his horse and they started to ride to Skull Rock Volcano. Moments later Jason stopped and got of the horse. He sat on a nearby log and opened his bag. He pulled out a sandwich and fed the horse a juicy, shiny apple. They gained their energy and Jason continued to ride. The sun shone in the skies above and after all the travelling Jason had been doing sweat dripped from his clumped body. He grabbed out some water and drank it, but the effects weren't anything too big. He found shade under a small tree where he relaxed for a bit. He woke up to a couple of goblins trying to rob him. They were small, green, irritating creatures that loved gold, in fact they adored it. He sent one slamming to the ground with his elbow and ripped the other one of his bag and threw it at a tree the other one held a dagger and he circled Jason, sometimes staggering. Jason went to slice at it with his sword but he missed and it clambered up his arm and jabbed Jason's hand he yelped and punched it in the face, then it ran off. Blood dripped from Jason's lowered hand and he slowly opened up his bag searching for bandages, after a while he found some and wrapped them around the wound then he tied it off and put them back in his bag he knew his injury was too severe to continue on so he went back to tied his horse to a tree and went back to sleep, but before he had a quick glance making sure no other goblins where close.

Jason awoke and pulled of his saggy bandages, the dark blood was dry and he decided to continue on. There was a soft breeze that every now and then brushed past Jason's face. His soft hair waved in the wind when he was riding on his horse that he had recently decided to name Lightning. Lightning had a black spiky mane, black eyes and a strong white body with steady hooves. Over the short time that had past there bond grew stronger each second. Lightning strode of to Skull Rock Volcano and after a couple of hours they were finally there. The ground grew harder and more rocky and heat radiated of the Volcano onto their bodies. They realised how the daring Volcano got it's name when they saw the Skull clenched into it. It's mouth gaped wide open and stairs led up and followed threw the mouth into the volcano. Jason kept his mind on the task there was, find the gem and get out that's all that mattered.

Jason pulled one leg over Lightning and dropped to the ground then he started walking up the stairs, alone. He made it up to the top and entered the seemingly dangerous place. Stone brimmed wooden torches with a furious flame were held on either side of the dark and mysterious entrance and Jason pulled on out and held it in front of him when he walked. The light from the torch guided his way and finally the tunnel came to an end. He opened his eyes to a wide, open village with wooden huts scattered around. Suddenly he heard thousands of small footsteps and small people with Tiki masks surrounded him, they flew of ropes and circled him while chanting. They held small spears with stone blades and sharp tips. Jason grabbed out his sword and held it tight he swooped it at the people and they dodged he kept focused and made sure any didn't surprise him. Then he jabbed a couple and hit others. There chanting got louder and heavier and they swarmed him he kicked, dodged, ducked and then from out of nowhere a spear swooped his face and a cut appeared, thick blood dripped from the edges and seeped of his face, to the floor. Jason's rage grew faster and his eyes turned dark red, an energy flew around his body and curved around his sword. Energy surged within and Jason panted, he stabbed, swiped killed and soon after all the Tiki masks lay flat on the ground and blood painted the room. Jason went back to normal and felt his cut, but it was gone. Whatever happened just before was unexplainable. Jason whispered to himself,

"What happened to me, what did I just do,"

But he had to stay focus and think about what just happened later. He saw another carved out stone stair case leading up to a platform so he climbed it. On a pedestal was a small book and Jason opened it. Inside where pages carved out and in the gap a red diamond shaped gem lay. Jason picked it up and when he was leaving accidentally knocked the book over with his elbow. He heard a rumble and suddenly lava started to appear out of cracks on the sides of the volcano, it was erupting. He sprinted down the stairs and jumped over rocks and terrain. The lava was flowing behind him and he continued to run. He found the exit of the volcano and just before he became toast jumped out of the edge. He bent back and slowly slid down the volcano, then dropped. He landed with one knee down and got up wiped off the dirt and got on Lightning, then strode off. He needed to get somewhere to rest for the night so he searched. He found an abandoned cave in a forest where a bit of light shone threw the top. He got some leafs from outside and placed them down in the cave and him and Lightning lay down. Minutes later they were fast asleep thinking of the adventure ahead.
