The night is starting to close. There is no moon either. The team has been preparing since the afternoon. The women and Cloudy were nowhere to be seen.
Five men walked through the darkness of the forest and the tall trees. They followed the direction decided by Dr. Chandra. They believe in the instincts of the ruler.
For more than half an hour they walked, and Chandra stopped. Others followed. Doctor Chandra floated up the trees. Others also followed until they arrived at the top of the tree.
"We follow this forest to the shore." Dr. Chandra pointed one way.
"Where is our goal?" dean asked a little confused.
"Russia!" replied Dr. Chandra sure.
"The ruler, from America to Russia, is very far away. We have to get through the vast Pacific Ocean" Robert said.
Dr. Chandra asked. "Are you not sure you can get through it?"
They looked at each other doubtfully. If they are unable, they will fall into the vast sea without borders.
"Ruler, that barrier across the Pacific, not just the ability to fly. But the views of the supervisors of each country. Also from every passing ship" Dean said.
"Then, what's your advice on getting there?" Dr. Chandra asked.
"Hemmm .. combed North America all the way to North Russia" replied Dean.
"In that way, we will pass through various cities. And that means it's slower to travel, because we can't fly." Robert chimed.
"But we try to keep going through the forest and mountains. However, the air will definitely get colder later," Dean added.
"Like that's good, too" said Dr. Chandra.
"In fact, why should we go to Russia?" ask Sunil.
"Last day, my soul tried to find a connection to this world with another world. And I feel there, there's something" said Dr. Chandra.
"Is it possible that the teleportation door was once used by Prince Felix, Glenn's father?" ask Robert to know.
"I don't know if it's the same teleportation door. But, if the teleportation door in the Elf world was already closed, then there must be another exit. Or ... it could be a different teleportation door altogether."
Doctor Chandra shook his head.
"I can't be sure of that without trying. I just felt his presence. But the circumstances behind it, remain a mystery, until we cross it."
"good. We trust the intuition of the Ruler. But, it's safer if we follow the route along North America" Robert said.
"It will take longer. But we do want to remain undetected, so as not to undermine the theory of cause and effect or probability, as Dean says," Robert added.
"Alright .. we follow that way." Dr. Chandra agrees.
"I know this forest path all the way to the Canadian border. Come on!" robert said, flying ahead.
Five people darted through the darkness of the night, trying to camouflage themselves among the treetops. Sometimes they have to wait for a quiet area when passing through a large open place.
With persistence, they had finally crossed the Canadian border.
"Near morning. We're tired too. Better find a place to rest" says Dr. Chandra.
"Good."
They are looking for forests that are further away from the tourist hiking trails.
"It looks like there's nobody here" Sunil said. The forest is dark.
"Yes, just here." Dr. Chandra agrees.
The other four team members immediately prepared a place to rest. Dean took out a mountain stone slab and made a shelter for them to sleep in, at the waist of the mountain.
Nobody talks anymore. Everyone fell asleep exhausted.

"Ahhh .. a very beautiful place. If it wasn't for the administration, I really wanted to stay here" Niken said.
"Most forests in Canada are conservation areas. There are several places that can be built cabins, with permits, of course. Elsewhere, there is a campground for climbers or nature lovers with campervan," explained Dean.
"Earth in our time, even a small island the size of a football field also belongs to a certain country. What else is the forest in the vast plains of a country" Marianne explained.
"Hemm, what if after returning later, you guys come to where I come from? We can enjoy the natural atmosphere together!" cetus Dean's.
"That's a good idea. Remembering the journey and the other friends who lived and preceded us." Sunil greeted Dean's idea with enthusiasm.
"Yes. We should do that. And don't forget to visit Alan's grave near my cabin" Robert added.
"Of course."
Throughout the day, they just rested and recovered. Widuri, Niken and Marianne did not bother the men to take a nap. The three also just lay lazily enjoying the occasional sunlight breaking through from behind the leaves.
The second, third and fourth nights, they did the same. Fly through mountains and vast forests. But the longer it went, the cooler the air was. They have entered the Northern area of the earth. Several mountain peaks, seen still covered in snow. But there was no other way, other than flying at night, through the cold. They were wearing jackets and plated clothes.
"We've reached Alaska" Robert said.
"Have you ever been here?" ask Sunil.
"Yes. On the honeymoon." Robert smiled faintly. "It's a beautiful place, isn't it?" said again.
"Yes. I must admit its beauty. Even at night" I'm Sunil.
"We're looking for a more beautiful place to rest. Come on!" take Robert.
The others followed his direction of flight. They reached the edge of the forest. In front of there a vast savannah covered in snow here and there, unfolded. Aurora Borealis rays in the sky present a beautiful light that sometimes seems to dance. Small rivers that divide between them, refract the beauty of God's creation.
"Let's get off!"
Robert immediately found a place to enjoy a dish that can only be found in the Northern hemisphere. Four of his friends followed him down to the surface. Their views are hard to shift to anything else.
But Dean immediately took out the stone slabs for their resting pedestal. Then the women were expelled, in order to be able to enjoy the atmosphere that night.
A cry of amazement immediately sounded.
"Wowww!"
"Amazing!"
"That's great!"
"I love you, Dean," said Widuri happily. Hugged Dean immediately.
On the other hand, Niken was also happily embraced by Indra. "Do you want to stay here too?" Indra Goda.
"A beautiful place. But if it's winter, it'll freeze the bones" Niken replied.
"I can hug and warm you every day" Indra still wanted to tease her.
"I can melt faster if it keeps getting warmed up" grumbled Niken.
"Mahaha ...."
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
They lay down and looked at the beauty of the northern sky. The look of admiration was unfettered from the eyes of the team members.
"If you want to take a walk tomorrow, maybe you can," said Robert.
"really?" Niken looks enthusiastic.
"Did our appearance not look strange?" ask Widuri.
"You're always beautiful" pleaded Dean.
"Buck!"
Widuri removed Dean's face from his face, as it disturbed the beautiful scenery in the sky.
They sleep under the beauty of nature.
