6TH Chapter.
Footsteps echoed down the empty streets of Del. The loudest noise that could be heard was the walkers breath.
Jasmine looked aside at her father. She had woken him up soon after Dain had finished his speech on The Belt of Odyssey and unlike Jasmine he had acted calmly towards Dain, but with a threat that if Dain was lying he would personally rip he up like there was no tomorrow.
Doom was walking behind Dain with his hand on his sword. The palace walls came nearer into view and soon the three had passed through to the palace.
Since Deltora's return to peace the palace had underwent huge changes and so had the whole of Deltora for that matter. The palace walls were renewed in there past beauty and gardens again flowered with life. [I'm getting corny ~_~]
"Jasmine go and get the others. We will meet in the dinning hall." Doom said to Jasmine never taking his eyes of Dain. Dain was probably the only Ol who had ever fooled him and he was not going to let that happen again.
~ * ~ "He's what?!" Barda roared. His face was a mask of anger and Doom had to use all his strength to stop him from lunging at Dain.
"Returned? So soon?" Sharn said angrily.
"Stop! Before we do anything else, I think we should at least listen to what Dain has to say." Jasmine said ignoring the glare Barda sent her way.
Dain looked grateful and smiled at Jasmine, which made her stomach turn in knots. The jealousy in Leif's eyes went unnoticed. Dain explained everything that he had said to Jasmine and at the end of it, Barda still looked like was going to explode.
"What do you take us for?! You filthy Ol! Why the thing I wish the most right now is to drive my sword into you." Barda yelled. Jasmine had never seen him this angry before.
"Yes. You have a lot of nerve coming back here, Ol." Leif said in a softer voice than Barda. Even though the closest people to her believed that Dain was lying, she still felt that he was telling the truth.
"Odyssey! Why of course!" Josef who had come later to the palace than Jasmine and Doom was now quickly exiting the room.
"What could he mean?" Marilyn said confused. She reminded Jasmine of how she felt when herself had first heard Dain's tale of Odyssey.
"Josef will probably be off to the library. Jasmine and Leif why don't you follow him the rest of us will keep an eye of the Ol." Barda said gruffly.
Leif and Jasmine agreed and walked out of the room and followed the way Josef went.
"Do you believe Dain?" Leif asked taking Jasmine's hand.
"Yes." Jasmine said. She avoided Leif's eyes, she didn't know whom to believe but for some reason she couldn't get the name Odyssey out of her head.
"It could be dangerous. Dain has not even told were to find this belt and what about this heir?" Leif didn't sound angry and for that she was relieved.
Jasmine saw Josef coming down the corridor carrying a large book. Leif went to Josef's side and took the book out his hands. Josef gave a slight bow and huffed out a thank-you.
"Josef? What is this book about?" Leif asked.
"Ahh, wait and see." Josef replied.
~ * ~ Everyone went around Josef as he began to read a passage from the book he had brought.
"Yes, it explains everything that Dain told us." Josef trailed his finger down the page." The belt has seven gems, but none were ever recorded. I would believe they would be close to The Belt of Deltora gems though. That's strange, Odyssey was beyond Pirra. Never as there been any knowledge of land beyond Pirra."
"Why, of course not. No one has even past The Shadow Lands or Pirra. What else does it say?" Doom interrupted.
"If all the gems are collected they will all be useless without the heir, or I should say the ancestor of the heir. Once the gems are together they will point to the heir, all the gems connected to each other form a belt. But it doesn't show how to get the gems or what places to go to. It is useless!" Josef sighed.
Everyone glanced at each other, what could they do if all they had was an unreliable book to help them? Jasmine looked at Dain, she believed him but there was no point anymore.
"I have thought ahead." Dain spoke up for the first time.
Jasmine's hopes went up higher, Dain was really telling the truth. "What do you mean?" Jasmine asked.
"I have a guide who knows everything single detail of Odyssey and with her help we could find the gems." Dain said simply.
"A guide? Who is this guide?" Barda said scathingly.
"Her name is Gaze of Odyssey, the heir and her are the only ones left from Odyssey and she, like me is a slave to The Shadow Lord and together we hope to destroy him. To do that we need your help we can't do it on our own. The plan is, if you wish to follow it, is to meet Gaze in the Forest of Silence and from there we will go straight to Odyssey." Dain said.
Gaze? Jasmine felt jealously sweep through her but shook it away quickly and reached for Leif's hand.
"When do we leave?" Barda asked. Jasmine looked at him in surprise out of all people he was willing to go with Dain?
"Tomorrow." Dain replied.
Heheheheheheh. I'm now up to 900 something words per chapter!! I'm going for the four-digit mark! *Starts climbing, then decides to stop for Gatorade* I LOVE GATORADE!! DO U??
