Today's #flashfiction #TheUltimateTreasure

“The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed.”
March of the Penguins*


Today I saw what why kids like the sweet taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

The Ultimate Treasure

       Adventures of the powerful and brave kind went down into a legendary dungeon. They were close friends who had been through many dungeons before. A few wizards, knights, a ninja, even a reformed pirate stood among their ranks. Oh, and a psychic who did respect your personal thoughts like your personal space. Or so he claimed.
       They went after this treasure like they did so many others. In this legendary dungeon they heard from the most powerful seer and prophet in the land there would be the ultimate treasure. They vowed that no matter what happened they would get this treasure. Among treasures they'd gotten before were magical items that allowed them to do good everywhere. A magic staff that could control plants. They not only saved a village from bandits but then saved its crops. The adventurers sold very little of their treasure. They saved most of it for doing good on their quests.
      And they kept their heroic vow for delving deep into this legendary dungeon. A legendary and dangerous dungeon. Half of this mighty party of adventurers died. And they were among the most powerful in the land.
The treasure laid at the very bottom of the massive maze on an obvious pedestal. A beautiful glowing red orb. One of the wizards touched it. Immediately afterward they were all outside the dungeon and all their comrades were revived. The wizard who touched the orb now held it in hand with it having no glow.
The adventurers looked at each other and the other treasure they had gathered and other adventures, magical swords, shields and all. They thought indeed, their fellow adventurers and friends were perhaps the best treasures of them all.
