Chapter 6: Stone of Lightning and Energy
Jack slowly walked through the halls of the ruins. Everything seemed amazing here with so many different and historical drawings. But it was huge once you started walking within it even more than before; He didn't know how Keeo and Domo managed to memorize their way around this place.
"Where on Earth am I supposed to find a hidden cave in here?" Jack muttered. "Am I even going the right way?"
He turned as he heard an electric crackling sound a bit farther down. He looked around a bit when he noticed a small lightning bolt on the wall, anyone would miss it at first glance. He touched the lightning bolt and felt an energy surge within him, but nothing opened.
Jack looked around for something to open it when he noticed the sun shining against the floor. 'This must only open when the sun's hitting it,' he thought.
"I can't wait here that long, though," he began. He then noticed a shrine that had a mirror on it that would obviously reflect the light. He grabbed the mirror and kneeled towards the sunlight. He placed the mirror and began to angle the light bouncing off of it around the wall. "Come on already…" he muttered.
Eventually, the light hit the symbol and the symbol grew bright. After a few seconds of holding it there, the light shot out in the form of a doorway before the wall retracted to the right and left to leave an opening. Jack put the mirror back exactly as he left it and walked through the tunnel.
The tunnels crackled with power and sparked with electricity here and there. Jack stepped on something and barely missed being hit with two lightning bolts coming from behind and directly in front of him.
Jack sighed in relief he didn't get hit. He carefully and cautiously kneeled down a bit and snuck under the lightning bolt in front of him. He then began his walk through the tunnel again, being a lot more cautious as he stepped through the tunnel and paying close attention where exactly he stepped.
He heard another crackle of electricity and saw a flickering light in the distance. He slowly stepped towards it and when he reached the end of the tunnel, he found himself in a circular room with a ledge holding the glowing, yellow stone surrounded by a small ring of lightning. The stone was in the shape of a perfect sphere and was about the size of the length between the center of his thumb and the tip of it.
When Jack reached towards the stone, a bolt of lightning was shot at him from the ring which he just barely managed to avoid. He growled a bit in frustration before with lightning fast speeds grabbed the Stone of Lightning and Energy from its placement.
Jack sighed when he turned and saw several bolts of lightning form and block the exit point. He looked at the stone glowed brighter in his hold. He turned back and looked at the lightning. He snapped his fingers and a bolt of lightning shot the the stone he was holding. It pierced a hole in the electricity that was big enough for him, but it quickly closed again.
Jack took a deep breath and got a bit closer to the lightning bolts. He snapped his fingers again and the hole reopened. He hurriedly stepped through the hole and walked again.
When he reached the exit leading back into the ruins, he saw the same thing again. Jack did the same actions as before only this time the lightning moved within the current of the wall of lightning bolts.
"What am I supposed to do now?" Jack asked himself.
"Hold me in the center of the lightning," came a voice. Jack looked at the stone. "Yes, I can talk to you. But we can focus on that later." The Signer turned as he noticed the lightning wall from behind him beginning to move towards him. "Place me in the center of the lightning wall. Quickly!" Jack didn't question it as the approaching lightning was getting to close. He put the stone in the center of the wall in front of him. It grew bright before the wall retracted. Jack stepped out just as the wall behind him hit the edge of the tunnel. The doorway then shut behind him. "That was close…"
"Thanks," Jack told the stone.
"You are the Priest of Lightning and Energy. I must protect you so you can protect the world," the Stone of Lightning and Energy responded. "You must hurry back before the world gets ruined by the will of that man who took Fire. Now it is up to you to fix it. But beware of the wolves in sheeps' clothing. Beware of those who call themselves trustworthy. Only trust yourself, the stones, and your fellow Priests."
"What's wrong with Keeo and Domo?" Jack asked.
"They hide their true intentions with the intentions they wish were true," the stone explained. "You will learn from them when it is time, Jack. Now, hurry. The other stones and I can only be combined and bring balance again during the Time of Descent and Rise."
"Time of Descent and Rise? Like the sunset?" Jack asked.
"The sunset is the modern term for the Time of Descent and Rise, I suppose. There is only one moment where the sun and moon cross at this time and it is very hard to get right. You must be ready to combine our energies by then, or else you will not be able to do it. And by tomorrow, it will be too late," it replied.
"Right," Jack answered. "Let's go, then." He hurried off to meet with the others with the stone held close.
