447 CDXLVII. A Star To Resurrec (1/2)
”What? Who?” Kranus asked, who wanted to know his opinion.
”The author of this book. He or she was definitely an enemy of the Frostsinners, otherwise, he wouldn't have enclosed all this important information in here. But if everything was written from the beginning... why me?! Why is it up to me to handle this heavy burden? I'm just one of the many Earthlings that have been sent here, what's wrong with me?” Dag continued, putting his hands in his hair and squeezing his brains, failing to reason lucidly because of the agitation of his recent discoveries.
”I think you already know the answer, within you. Until the instant before you faced Trako, I thought you were just a kid full of himself... but your powers... you're the only one who can manipulate the Dark Matter, like a real Frostsinner. This makes you the only warrior worthy of fulfilling the prophecy described in the book” the Ice Mage replied, attempting to reason with Dag.
”What else does it say? Does it describe the person who will use the Fire Crystal? What's it like? Does the description match me?”
”No, it doesn't describe anything. It only says that a group of warriors from Earth will succeed in putting a stop to the domination of the Frostsinners and restoring peace, resurrecting the Sun and again fueling life on Earth.”
”Resurrect the Sun? Not even the greatest magician of all time could do such a thing! And then, from the drawing I saw just now, it seems that the Crystal allows you to travel only between the six planets created by the Xis! How can you recreate a star that died so many years ago out of thin air?”
”Even this is not explicitly explained... but there is only one possible solution” Kranus continued, resting his hand on the handle of the Giantbane.
Dag lifted his axe and looked again carefully at the red crystal embedded in the deer's eyes.
”How does it work... I want to know how.”
”Keep flipping through the book...”
The young Master obeyed without complaints and a few pages after the first figure, another one caught his attention.
This time, the crystal depicted was not just one, but there were six identical to the first, next to each other, with the Sun above them, as in the previous image and a single planet below.
”What does it say here? What are these other gems? More crystals? You said there were no such powerful relics!” Dag asked, on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Kranus placed his hand full of wrinkles and scars on the dusty sheet of the book and with his finger, pointed one by one at the six crystals.
”Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, and Darkness. This is what is written under the six crystals” the magician replied, with a solemn air.
