Chapter 9 A New Friend

Shining went inside and saw that it was in ruins. He knew that he would have to be careful inside the palace. Shining walked down the old hallways and went into a back room. He saw that there was a large chest. Shining put the key from the chest in the hut and turned it. The chest clunked as it opened up. Shining opened the chest and saw that there were a pair of silver gauntlets.

Shining put them on and went over to a collapsed wall and tried to lift the rocks without using the gauntlets and he couldn’t lift it. He put on the gauntlets and tried it again, much to his surprise he could lift it with ease. Shining saw a marking of a bee in the room near the stairs to the boss chamber on the map. Shining went into the room with the stairs and saw that the door to bee location was blocked of by a fallen column.

Shining tried to lift it but even with the gauntlets it was too heavy for him. Shining thought of a new idea, he took out a bomb and placed it next to the fallen column. Just as he got clear it detonated. He went inside and saw it was a beautiful garden full of statues and cacti in bloom. Shining saw a dead cactus and decided to cut it down. He heard a buzzing noise as he cut down the cactus.

Shining got out his butterfly net when he saw it was a bee. He put the newly captured bee in a bottle and heard a small voice.

The voice said, “Thank you for freeing me from my prison in that dead cactus.”

Shining asked, “Who said that?”

The voice responded, ‘Look in the bottle and you will see me.”

Shining opened the bottle and the bee flew out and landed on his muzzle and said, “I shall serve you my new master.”

Shining was surprised to hear the bee speak to him and he asked it, “Do you have a name?”

The bee replied, “My previous master called me Gi-Gi.”

Shining asked, “What can you do to help me?”

Gi-Gi replied, “Can sting with this special barb on my rear. I do only one hearts damage with it.”

Shining asked, “Can you go back into your bottle?”

Gi-Gi replied, “Of course master.”

Shining closed the bottle and went over to the stairs and went down them. He knew at the end of this hallway was the boss chamber. He pulled out his lantern and went down the tunnel and saw that at the end of the hall was a metal gate he stepped through the gate and saw a door and a stone tablet.
