Chapter 6: Power
Entry five
Something unusual happened to me today. Remember those "walks" I told my leader I was going to take. It happened on the trail of a bounty. I stumbled onto a strange place just south of Baskar Village. I just got curious and climbed up the stairs. I felt strange on the top of that tower. Everything turned from gray to white. I felt a sharp pulse inside my head. I felt something worth of true power. Those four strange stone plaques lit up, and suddenly I could read them. I felt all four elements of Filgaia surging through my body.
A blinding red jewel appeared right in front of me. Something just told me to pick it up. I heard strange voices talking to me. They said that I am now keeper of the jewel. It can be used for peace and justice or death and destruction. The voices told me there is another, a person who is the keeper of the Eternal Sparkle. I'll never show it to my team members or leader. I found out something even better. I can trigger the jewels powers just by focusing it's powers. What should I do with it? What is something worth of power to me? And why did they choose me? I don't know if I should kill or save. For now, I will just have to keep it a secret. The infinite jewel is in my hands. The world is in my hands.
Clive was baffled at the entry he read. The teams were frozen in shock.
"So, this means that the person who wrote this has the infinite jewel," said Virginia stunned.
"We must find that person!" Maya said with determination. "I need that jewel!"
"Stop Maya," everyone's eyes directed to a small figure. "It is pointless, sis, we're not going to find this person anyway."
Maya exploded with anger. She pointed towards her brother. "It was you! Alfred! Give me that jewel!" No one ever expected this to happen. Maya rushed over to Alfred, arms pulled out. "I'll kill you for it!"
It was too late. Maya pulled out her handgun and shot Alfred between the eyes. Alfred's eyes bulged with fear. Virginia put her hands over her mouth. She gasped in horror. Everyone froze and the world appeared to slow down. Everything went back to reality. The bullet sliced through the air at unbelievable speeds. They thought it was the end.
But was it truly?
