Chapter 7
The Surface of the Secrets are scratched
SPYRO
Welp... here is the 7th chapter finally... I know, I know... it's been taking too long.. DON'T RUSH ART!!! In this chapter, it's the fisrt time I put every new dialogue by someone as a new paragraph to make it easier to read, so it might look alot longer than usual... This is probably the longest chapter in the 'novel' as I like to call it. I'm calling it a novel because it turns out it's gonna hafta be alot longer than expected, A WHOOLE LOT LONGER... mainly because of details and crap like dat... just lean back in your chair, and read in relaxation...
We finally made it to the temple of Tahla*. For the goddess Tahla this temple was, but in the southwest wing of this very structure sat a shrine for Althena**, this was a bad idea if you asked me... To put a shrine of one goddess into the temple of another goddess... Sparx flew through the many halls and corridors to a northern area. He opened a door that said "AUTHORIZED PERSONEL ONLY!" and told me to wait there... After a long period of time that I spent sitting and watching bored-looking priests and priestesses walking by me, Sparx came back with the head priests assistant. He was a male faery with a long ceremonial robe that he always wore, and he had a receding hairline. I'd never met him, but he acted as if he knew me...
"Spyro, my friend. When was your last visit to the temple?" he asked with an inquiring and suspicious sound about him.
"Just a couple of weeks ago, thankyouverymuch!" I said retaliating.
"Come this way." he said and walked down the hallway and we followed. He lead us through many awkward winding passages before he finally said "My name is Madjok. These are the inner chambers of the temple. Usually, no on is permitted here, but you two are a... uhm..." he paused momentarily "a 'special' case" he said stressing the special. "There are many secrets beheld to these dark halls" he said. We'd planned on leaving for the worlds trading centre tonight, but it seems as though we'd been held back...
"What time is it?" I asked.
"I have no idea... sunlight doesn't reach this far down, which is why we don't have windows down here..." he said.
"when we got inside the temple, it was dusk..." Sparx said.
"Great... so much for leaving for the worlds trading centre today..." I said unhappily. This statement seemed to knock a spark in the back of Madjok's mind.
"Did you just say you were going to the WTC!?" he suddenly asked.
"Yeah. Why?" I asked. Sparx and I looked at him.
"Nothing. Nothing at all..." he sad, but then quickened his pace suddenly. "Come, we must hurry to the tablets. Time is of the essence!" I had to run to keep up with him... Sparx had no trouble though since he was flying.
We finally reached a slightly large round room. We had to follow an extremely long path that went downwards to it. It smelled musty in here. There was a small cutout circle in the stone floor fillied with water, and walkways acrros it to the stone circle in the center. In the center of that stood a large rectangular prism made of stone. I was stood upright, and had writing on all sides. Madjok made his way to the tablets, pull out some glasses and began to inspect the inscriptions. Sparx and I looked at each other and sighed, for we knew this would be taxing time-wise.
"Hmmmm" Madjok said as he scanned through the engravements. "young dragon, come here... Take a look at this, the inscriptions we're looking for should be in this area... call out what you read, we'll do it in turn until we find something" and so he assigned me an area and took an area for his own, and we began to call out what we saw one by one, starting with me...
"Spring-Legged Teddy Bears?"
"Spit-Fire birds"
"Lazer shooting SPACE MONKEYS!?!?"
"Club-wielding Ice Behemoths"
"Madjok, what is all this!?!?" I asked. all this was so hard to understand... He turned to me and said,
"these are predictions... They say that these creatures will come and help the gifted One in his time of need."
"I don't know any creatures like that..." I said. Sparx had to make a comment, so he did.
"Not Yet..."
"HERE IT IS!" Madjok suddenly exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and said,
"Finally... What's it say?" he just replied
"you can read, come find out for yourself..." so I trodded over and looked at them. The first set read:
Thousands of Dragons, gifted will be many,
But from those gifted, only one will rise from teh dust,
to save the worlds and protect them from any,
Who dare to endanger these worlds with their lust.***
"What is that supposed to mean?" Madjok said,
"in lamens terms, if you're the gifted One, then this is talking about you.. Read on..." The next set of inscriptions said:
To determine the savior, look for these things,
One who is orphaned, one who feels low,
One who is young with very fragile wings,
One who is followed by the sun's golden glow.***
"I still don't get it!" I complained.
"Look kid, the point is, if you're the savior, than your'e an orphan, you feel bad, you are young and fragile, you've lost everything you can call your own, you're gifted, and you're followed by the sun's golden glow... Understand now?!" He was starting to sound angry. I supposed I was a little rude. "The only descriptions that don't match you are you're an orphan and you have something material to call your own..."
"what about the sun's golden glow thing?" I asked. He pointed to Sparx and said
"Look at the way that dragonfly friend of yours glows. I'd say you're followed by the sun's golden glow..."
"oh... well, I'm not the one" I said shrugging to Sparx. "We've still gotta go check on dad at the WTC, so let's go home and get ready to go tomorow, that is, if we don't get held back AGAIN..." I complained.
"Don't worry. It's not like the worlds are depending on it. We can leave whenever you're comfortable leaving..." Sparx said. We walked a short distance and I stopped and said
"Ya know, I just wish we wouldn't have wasted all that time though!" I said unhappily. He just added a pick-you-up and said
"who knows if it was really wasted... Tahla works in mysterious ways..." he said, and it cheered me up more than anything... I got very cheerful and said
"yeah, you're right. Never lose faith. We'll be together throught this whole thing, all the way through it, friends forever. And with the two of us sticking together as buddies, we're invincible!" I said loudly, and we made our way back home joyfully laughing, joking, and talking. Yet unfortunately that mood wouldn't last long, and another prophecy about me was about to come true.
And there you have it, chapter 7... I'm so close the finishing chapter eight right now I can taste it...
