Chapter 41 - New Riddle (1/2)
”We're back?” Hermione asked.
”I suppose so,” Chris said.
”Looks like I brought you back,” Prometheus said. However, when the three turned their heads around, he was nowhere in sight.
”I'm in the diary right now,” Prometheus said. ”Before I brought you guys out, it was able to imprint the way for me to go inside the diary. So now I'm inside the diary speaking directly to your minds. All you have to do if you want to talk to me is to think it rather than saying it out loud and you'll be able to contact me. Of course, I can't just snoop into your mind so you don't have to worry about that,”
”Alright that's good to know,” Chris said. ”So do you know what this diary is or who made it?”
”While I have information about most things under Mount Olympus, this diary is something I do not know about. It might be a secret weapon created by a titan or even one of the primal deities in which case, it's out of my league. For now, all I know is that this diary is not here to harm you or any mortals for that matter,” Prometheus said.
”So wait, there is a question I'm dying to ask,” Kristine said. ”You're part of Greek mythology and you're obviously very real. So I'm guessing everything from Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and etc. are not real?”
”The answer is not one of those black or white answers. It's a pretty complicated system that will need a bit of time to explain,” Prometheus said. ”I'm sure that you'll find the answer soon on your own. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that no time has passed since you were transferred into the space I was trapped in,”
”So why did the diary call you the ”piece of hope”?” Hermione asked. ”I thought that they'd be talking about a magical weapon or an ancient wand?
”I'm not too sure. Everything that has been happening for the past couple of centuries have been quite chaotic to say the least. I ȧssume that due to the information that I have within me, I'm considered the ”piece of hope” that the diary describes,” Prometheus said. ”However, what I can currently tell you is that I'm almost out of power due to bringing everyone out of that horrible space. Oh yes, I also forgot to mention that no time has passed since you went inside the space. So with that said, I'm going to sleep. I won't wake up for a while longer so only when there's an emergency should you call me. Well, I don't know how much help I'll be, but if it's information that you need, I'll be able to help you,”
Chris saw the diary shake once more.
”Guys, I think it's a new riddle,”
Hermione opened the diary to the next page and sure enough there was a new riddle.
Before they could properly discuss what the diary said, Bradley went up to them.
”Kids, we have a lot more places to go!” Bradley said.
