Peace cannot be kept by force
It can only be achieve through understanding
-Albert Einstein-
The Glathanion Diamond
Jim unrolled the parchment revealing a small letter written in the most elegant cursive Jim had ever seen. Jim read through the letter carefully. It was from King Athenor of Montressor to King Amus of Mondernor. It read:
To King Amus of Mondernor
This quarrel between our worlds has long devastated our worlds the Etherium itself. If we could call a peace between is it will helps us to not stray on the path of destruction but into the path of serenity. Let us end this quarrel our let it guide us to our devastation. To show our friendly intentions we have given the Glathanion diamond of Montressor. Long has it been a symbol of our world and we offer it to you to end this war. I am also terribly sorry of you son and I assure you it was not of my making.
Sincerely King Athenor of Montressor
Jim rolled the parchment and stuck it in his pocket. He then turned to the cabinet and seeing a larger coffer sitting beside the first. This coffer was made of pure gold and richly decorated. Jim opened the lid of the coffer slowly. Suddenly filling the room was intensely bright light making Jim to shield his eyes. He used his hand to feel what the coffer contained. It was a large diamond.
Jim closed the lid and carried the golden coffer in his hand. He closed the cabinet doors and turned towards the doorway when suddenly appearing on the door was Athinel. He held his pistol up high towards Jim. His gazed turned from Jim to the coffer.
"Give me that box or I will kill you," said Athinel with an angry slow tone. Jim stepped back until he hit the desk, "Go ahead," said Jim his that held the coffer hand outstretched towards Athinel. Athinel stepped forward when suddenly Jim opened the lid of the coffer revealing the white light. Athinel cried out shielding his eyes from the intensity of the light. Jim raced through the door and out into the deck.
The night sky was dotted with stars as Jim raced down the gangway into the cavern ahead. Blasters began to sound behind Jim as he ran. He ran through the entrance heading straight for the stair case when suddenly a large tremor began to shake stopping Jim in the spot. He ground before him began to split into two creating a deep ravine before him.
He stood on the edge of the deep ravine. Every step he took was an inch closer to death. Cold winds began to flutter all around him. He was going to fall. Large tremors continued to shake the dark cavern of gray stone. Large boulders began to drop from the ceiling. Jim was at the very edge, he looked down in to dark abyss. A rush of energy began gather at the back of him pushing him forward by some invisible force. He fell into abyss screaming but quickly grabbing a rock that protruded out of the wall.
He was dangling in the air. He looked up and suddenly appearing on the edge was Athinel pointing his pistol towards Jim. With a victorious tone he said,
"Agonwel1 Jim" sudden a loud shout sounded from behind Athinel saying, "Take that!" and then a small rock strike the back of Athinel's head knocking him forward. He fell into the abyss screaming trying to get hold of something but didn't. Jim looked towards the abyss staring after Athinel as his outline became smaller and smaller. Jim looked up seeing BEN's metallic head staring at Jim over the edge. BEN shouted at Jim saying, "Jim are you all right?"
"Yah I'm ok just help me up," replied Jim as BEN's metallic arm reached down grabbing Jim's hand that was outstretched. BEN lifted him out carefully from the ravine. Jim stood up and patted BEN on the back, "Thanks," he said with a smile. The jumped over a narrow place in the ravine and headed towards the staircase. They ascended the stairs and came out of the cave and began to scale down the mountain's slopes. Upon reaching the bottom the headed towards the long boat and jumping right in. Jim powered up the engine and began to shot threw the air like a bullet. They flew upward into the night sky heading back to Montressor with the Glathanion diamond. His fight with Athinel was over, thought Jim as they escaped the thick atmosphere of Aprixae IV.
