53 Door and Clues (1/2)
Olympia was confused as to why there was no response from the trapdoor. She looked at Brad and asked, ”What's wrong, Master?”
”I can sense something, but can't point it out what it is.” His eyebrows scrunched in concentration again. He tried to sense his surroundings with his consciousness, but was unable to do so.
”Master, this is important for us. How do we know what to do?”
”Aren't all legacy(1) accompanied with some ancient texts?”
”Should be.”
”Let's search for it together since we don't have much time left..”
Olympia nodded and walked towards the eastern corner of the room, while Brad moved towards the North.
They searched through various items as their eyes searched for some ancient battered text. There were many items in the room - mostly junk. Searching through them was hard. Broken items were scattered across the floor and they rummaged through all the nooks and crooks of the room, but nothing caught their attention.
”Master, how can this be?”
”Is there no way to enter it?”
”There must be a way. Let's do this together.” Brad suggested.
”How?”
”Even I don't know, but something inside me says that if we do it together, we will achieve success.”
”Where to start?”
”Let's do one thing.”
”Wait, what is that?”
”I'm sorry. What is what?” Brad asked.
”That thing over there. Look!” Olympia pointed at a brand new book at the corner of the room. As they were looking at all the dilapidated things, they overlooked this book.
”Hmm? Let's go and see what that is.”
Olympia and Brad went to the farthest corner of the attic, and picked up the brand new book, and tried to open it, but no matter how much they tried, it didn't open. Olympia went as far as to insert her fingernails(claws) to pry it open, but to no avail. It did not open.
They looked at each other and a fleeting thought crossed their mind together. They looked at each other and then placed their hands onto the other and then focussed their energies onto their palms and placed it onto the book.
Under the element of Ice, Fire and Darkness and Light, the book opened. A blinding flash of multicolored light illuminated the entire attic. It was so mesmerizing that instead of covering their eyes, they opened them wide.
Among the myriad of colors and auras, there was a saintly semi-translucent figure floating inside a halo.
”So you found me?” The saintly figure asked.
”What do you mean?”
”I am Boyd, the protector of Demiden Legacy. No one other than the rightful owner of the legacy can spot this book.” Boyd pointed at the book lying in Olympia's hand.
”What is this Legacy?”
”Ha ha ha ha ha. I won't tell you that. Rather, I can't. You got to find it out yourself, and there is a time limit of 6 hours only. You need to find the legacy before the sunrise, otherwise, it will vanish for another 1000 years.”
”But…”
