n the deep of the Gobi Desert, there is a pearl called the Desert’s Eye. If someone tries to steal
it, the evil curses will be fall on them. The one who has it can rule the Gobi Desert. But who
wants to rule a desert?
My name is Jimmy Potter. The whole class, even my friends don’t know my real name.
Ida Folb is an evil girl in my class. Only I know her surname because I see her writing Folb. One
day, Ida disappeared in the PE lesson! Then she popped up on the fourth floor. She was holding
something like an iphone charger. She pointed it towards us and pressed a button. A beam of lime
light shot me and my best friend, Jonathan, and some other guys. I couldn’t see them because the
light blinded my eyes for a second.
‘Yikes!’ yelled Jonathan. We landed on some soft sand. Harmony, Ida’s close friend was there
too. ‘Where the hell are we?’ asked Harmony. ‘We are in the Gobi Desert,’ I answered. We were in
great pain, as if fire was running through our bones. Then we heard an evil voice, ‘Find the Eye or
I’ll kill you.’ Some sand burned up and formed a word ‘Ida Folb’. ‘Never!’ I yelled out. Jonathan and
Harmony fell down onto the sand, screaming for help, ‘If you don’t do it, your friends are going to
DIE!’ ‘Don’t!’ said Jonathan in a painful voice, ‘I’d rather die!’ ‘Don’t do it, Jimmy.’ Harmony said
‘Shut up! You two.’ They yelled louder because Ida cast more curses on them. ‘Okay, I will help you
but let my friends go,’ I said. The voice continued, ‘I warn you, Jimmy, you and your friends can’t
get out of here until you have found it.’ The voice became smoke and formed the word ‘Folb’.
‘I can’t believe that you will help her,’ said Jonathan. ‘But I can’t see you guys die in front
of me, right?’ I tried to explain. ‘But where should we start?’ asked Harmony. ‘My grandpa once
told me that one could find it easily if one would not use it.’ I saw a bit of sand glowing. I ran in
front of it and dug very fast. ‘Come on and help me dig the sand. The Desert’s Eye is here. Come
on!’ They jumped into action quickly, but the harder we dug, the more sand appeared. ‘No, we
can’t just dig forever. We’ll surely die of hunger!’ I said. ‘Jimmy’s right. Hey, we can blow it up!’
Jonathan said, ‘But we can’t blow it up without gunpowder.’ ‘That’s true!’ I said. Then Harmony
took out a box of matches and some grayish powder from a bag. ‘Ida gave me this last Monday,’
she said. Jonathan lit up the match and yelled ‘RUN!’ We ran as fast as horses. Suddenly we heard
‘BOOM’ and we looked in the hole that just formed. ‘Jump!’ Harmony and I jumped into the hole
quickly but Jonathan stood still. ‘Jonathan, come on!’ I said. ‘Ouch! I can’t move,’ he said.
There was some smoke behind Jonathan. Suddenly, Ida popped up and said, ‘One person will
die by the end of this day.’ She put some spikes around his neck. ‘JONATHAN!’ I shouted. ‘Give
me the Eye and I’ll release him. Otherwise, Harmony will be the next one,’ growled Ida. She and
Jonathan became a puff of smoke. ‘There’s something glowing over there,’ I said. We walked
towards it. Harmony can’t see anything but I saw a table with potions and a piece of paper. On the
paper was written:
‘There are seven potions on the desk. There are two bottles that contains wine, one makes you
drunk and one kills you. The two are on the right. In the middle, is the drink takes you one step
closer to the Eye. Next to the middle, the second killer stands beside his brother. The next to the
middle stands a healer. It heals everything, drunkenness, pain but cannot save you from death.
