What The Luck!?

Onyx lead them in to the cabin, there were four rooms all that seemed to highlight different subjects. The room that Jackson was in Was full of books and other documents. The pictures on the walls were hand drawn explanations of plants and their uses. Some even showed harvesting methods and temperaments.

"Onyx! Get over here, this boy is great. I want you to take him to learn rock climbing tomorrow." Garnet was shuffling through the books on a shelf.

"I would prefer to learn more in the other classes. I want to learn shelter building, tracking, surviving in different environments, really anything like that." Jackson tried to voice his opposition but Garnet was not paying a single bit of attention to him.

"Look I already gave him six different books on edible and poisonous plays and he knew the majority. The ones that he doesn't know he is already starting to memorize. By the time night comes, I can take him out to do some practical training." She looked proud to have a camper that was so adept.

"Jackson are you really that awesome with plants?" Asher was curious if his true strengths were really his mind and not his super power at all.

"Well, I really like plants more than anything. Before I had this power I was pretty small and skinny. I prefer the peaceful things. If I end up like a hero or whatever I would prefer to focus on rescue. I guess I can't really go off and start a farm if I have the potential to help others. It would be a waste."

"That's pretty noble of you. I'm planning to be a hero too so feel free to lean on me for help." Asher and Jackson affirmed a strong friendship right there on the spot. Knowing that someone had made some sacrifice to do the greater good was a respectable action. On top of this, both of them knowing that they shared a similar goal sparked a bond.

"So why did you bring these two here? They can't have enough points to take my class yet? I am sure that they did not want to take the class anyways." Garnet gave Asher and Laura a look of pity. They had missed a huge chance to learn for free and jumped right in to training. She had seen this mistake way too many times.

"About that, Kid show her what you fund after we climbed down from the top of my cliff," Onyx spoke with a slightly softer voice trying to hide his excitement at his soon to be surprised sister's reaction.

"Oh, well Laura bumped me because I was messing around and I fell." Asher pulled the golden egg from his pocket along with the ticket that showed the points he gained. "And in the little den in a tree stump, there was this."

Garnet's face was frozen. She was still giving them the look of pity but her mind was miles away. When she finally spoke up her voice held some anger and dismay. "How did you find that, I personally hid that somewhere where no one has ever found it. Those trails get changed daily!"

Her voice had become louder and louder as she spoke becoming a yell by the end of it. "Like I said...I fell…" Asher was thrown off by her yelling. It was a little too much for him to handle after she had been silent for a few moments.

"I know it's really hard to believe but it looks like the luxury cabin will need to be cleaned after tomorrow and his points need to be updated." the slightly mocking tone in Onyx's voice was enough to direct all the frustration to himself.

"Oh, I see how it is. You just happened to take them through the trail that leads them past where I had hidden the golden egg." The venom that dripped from her words was enough to make Onyx realize he had just poked a sleeping bear.

She was about to reprimand him more when she remembered what he had said when he first told Asher to show her what he found. "Did you just say that you and him both climbed down from your cliff? He made it to the top in the first try and found his way there?"

"Well I can't say I have any idea how he got up there, but yes. He made it up to the top and then needed help climbing down. He needs to learn to climb. This one here made it to the cliff and got stuck. She needs to take a few classes so she can learn how to think. I really don't feel like having to rescue more people than I need to from the cliff this month." Onyx's weary voice made it sound like helping campers was a massive chore.

"I know you would much rather sit up there on the cliff and train but you need to help us with the camp. It is the family business. Now you," Garnet turned to Asher and looked him dead in the eye. "How did you get up on top of the cliff?"

She wanted to know how someone could make it up to the top of a cliff that most campers would not even make it to the first time they started off on the trails. It was a literal maze made to train tracking and endurance.

"I just stayed right. I didn't really follow the trail specifically but when it looked at a split I went right. I barely had to climb at all.' Garnet looked just as lost as Onyx had been when Asger had said this.

"There is no way, we don't have a trail that you can climb that would avoid the cliff." She was very sure about this because the entire family had world hard to design the trails in such a way.

"Onyx doesn't believe me either. Should I just show you?" Asher had started to smile as a plan started to form, he had the perfect idea to make this second hike worth his time.
