Sion was an intrepid adventurer. He had an interest in traveling to new places since his childhood. He used to plan his journey through various stories read in books. One day, a local found an old map pointing to an unknown island. A strange excitement rose within Scion as he took the map into his hands.

“I must see that!”—thought Sion. He immediately began to prepare. With a few essentials, food and his favorite sighting telescope, he crossed over.

After starting the journey towards the island, the waves of the sea were giving him a new feeling. After a few hours, Sion saw a strange sight. The island in the distance was covered with gray clouds, as if he was calling someone.

After stepping onto the beach of the island, Sion realized that there was something unusual here. Surrounded by mysterious trees, strange creatures, and it seems to him, there is a force within the island.

Sion was looking around with his telescope. Suddenly a pink colored bird caught his attention. The bird came to Sion and said, “Why have you come here, adventurer?” Sion was surprised, “You are talking?”

“Yes, everyone here talks. But beware, there is a deep secret hidden in the island,”—warned the bird. Sion began to think, "Deep secret? I came to know that.”

The bird pointed a path for him. “Go this way, but be careful. Terrible creatures are here.” Sion started walking with his brave attitude.

As he walked, he saw a shower. The water was flowing like golden color. Sion thought, “Is this real or just a dream?” Sitting next to the shower, Sion rested for a while. But suddenly, a horrible sound was heard from behind.

Sion turned around to see a giant snake coming towards him. The snake was metallic in color and had a blood red glow in its eyes. Sion froze in fear. But he thought to himself, “Now is not the time to run away. I have to be brave.”

Sion started running. He ran quickly through the trees. The snake was chasing him. In an instant, Sion managed to climb a tree. The snake went back disappointed.

Sion watched from above, the snake went and entered the mouth of a cave. Some stones were placed in front of the cave. Sion realized, there was some important information here. He went down and noticed on the rock, there was an ancient painting.

As shown in the picture, there is a special stone in the center of the island which controls the energy of this island. But the stone is guarded by dangerous creatures. Sion wanted to find that stone.

He went back to the bird. “Where is the stone?”—he asked. The bird said, “The stone is inside the den of the evil snake. You have to be brave.”

Sion started again. Now he has to think and act wisely. Reaching the mouth of the cave, he waited for a while. Observing the movement of the snake, he made a plan.

“If I can distract the snake, I can take the stone,” he thought. Sion dropped some stones in front of the cave. The snake heard the sound and came out.

Sion then quickly entered the cave and started walking towards the rocks. In no time he saw that particular stone. The stone is beautiful and shiny. But then the snake came back and saw Sion.

“You're here again!”—roared the snake. Sion gathered his courage and walked towards the rock. “I'm not here to scare you. I want to help you!”—she said.

The snake stopped for a while. "How?" asked the snake. "If the power of the island is used for good, we will all benefit," Sion said.

The snake thought for a moment. Then he said, “You are really brave. I agree to your proposal.” A new friendship developed between Sion and Snake. Together they began to discuss the power of the stone.

Sion brought the stone and took it with the snake to the other animals of the island. Everyone blessed him and the snake. With renewed energy they began to improve the environment of the island.

Sion learned, through courage and friendship, something extraordinary can be achieved. The creatures of the island greeted him, “You are our friend. You are a part of our history.”

Finally, Sion returned to his country after completing this journey of mystery and friendship on the island. He had a new experience in mind. He knew that with courage and love one can overcome any obstacle in life.

Sion realized that traveling anywhere brings not only new surroundings, but also new friends and new learning. That trip to the island gave him a new perspective—life will never bring true joy if you are afraid.

Thus Sion began a new chapter in his life, one filled with courage, friendship and new experiences. He knew there were many more expeditions to go in the future, but that was where his real journey began.
