The burning fountain

The burning fountain

Night falls and Moko, having followed the footprints in the snow, reaches the seemingly uninhabited village. He notices a young boy by a shrub who is cutting firewood. He introduces himself as Alarick and invites Moko into his home. Along the way, they hear a great rumbling sound that startles them, like the breath of a monster. Moko wants to go to the source of the noise, thinking it is the reason for the villagers’ hiding. Alarick then leads him to the back of the village where he shows him a geyser and a pool of hot water. Moko thinks that Alarick must know a great deal of secrets about this new land and decides to stay a while, the end of the world can wait for now.

Extrait du livre The burning fountain

The burning fountain


The wind was making the strange white powder, that covered the landscape, swirl in the air. Moko was walking through a forest of trees that had very peculiar leaves. As he approached the village, Moko was getting colder and colder.
Suddenly, a young boy appeared. He was sliding along the ground and standing on a cart that had no wheels ! He wore a heavy coat made of wool. Hi! My name is Moko! I'm looking for the edge of the world. Is it here? No. This is my country. My name is Alarick.
Suddenly, a noise, like the scream of a ferocious beast, startled them. Then, a strange cloud appeared along the edge of the forest. It's the monster of the great cold, said Alarick. He spits out his anger when anyone goes near him. It is said that he can turn people into statues of ice! I can try to speak to him like my friend Mei-Li taught me, suggested Moko.
