Following Luz, the triclops saw an opening reveal itself as the glyphs flashed at it! The path to the Monado was here all along, hidden in plain sight!
"It's right through here." Luz said.
"How did he manage to keep this place hidden for almost three centuries?" Boscha asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because people don't know about the spell glyphs or he kept it hidden from specific people." Luz suggested to Boscha.
"Well, let's go." Boscha said, "My grandpa's sword is there. We need to get it."
"And we should hurry before everyone notices we're gone and comes looking." Luz said to Boscha as they hurried into the cave opening.
"I'm pretty sure we'll be fine for bringing back a historical legend." Boscha said, not nervous about getting in trouble.
'She may act like a jerk sometimes, but I always admired her confidence.' Luz thought to as the glyphs continued to lead them to the Monado.
The two walked into a large underground cave, with water so blue it was glowing, along with a large force field, with a red sword floating in it.
"Woah, this place is amazing." Luz said, looking at her reflection.
The glow of the water gave the room, and them, a faint blue glow. The two paused as the glow spread throughout the cave as the force field slowly faded away.
"Boscha, is that it?" Luz asked in awe but was cautious, not wanting to repeat her first adventure to the "Crystal Lake."
"Hex, yeah it is. That's THE Monado." Boscha said with awe, her eyes sparking at the sight of the sword.
Boscha walked up and grabbed it.
"Now, let's... get... going!"
She pulled on it, but it wouldn't move. The triclops tried again and pulled harder but the sword wouldn't budge from its floating spot!
"Urgh! Why won't you move?!" Boscha grunted out in frustration!
"Well, I don't want to say it but…. maybe you're not the destined witch?" Luz asked carefully, remembering the story and comparing it another legend from Earth.
"Then why don't you try it?" Boscha asked, letting go of the sword. Luz shrugged, what's the worst that can happen? Luz walked up and put a hand on its handle and pulled it. To her surprise, it came out. Boscha gasped as Luz held the sword with ease, not believing that a human could be the wielded of the Monado.
"B-But how? You can't do magic!" Boscha said in shock.
"I know….but I use…the glyphs." Luz said, pulling out the glyphs from her pocket and see them glowing again.
Suddenly, the Monado began to glow as well with the glyphs floating from Luz's hand and into the hollow opening in it. So, each glyph flashed in the hole in the sword before it went back to normal.
"What. The. Hex?" Boscha asked, she grabbed Luz's hand and started pulling her, "We're going back and when we get back to Bonesborough, we're looking through my grandfather's notes!"
"Boscha, I'm sorry that you aren't the one-"
"I'm not mad about that, I'm honestly happy for you, but if there's one thing you can't do, is understand how that works. I'm going to help you figure this out."
Luz wasn't expecting this but she was thankful for the help. How else was she to use this magic sword?
"But what about the others? Can I at least tell my friends? And how am I supposed to carry it?" Luz asked as she lifted the Monado up.
Almost like on command, the Monado gave off a flash of light before it shrank down to the size of a house key on a necklace chain.
"Oh! Instant jewelry!" Luz said as she quickly put it around her neck.
"How do I look?" Luz asked, moving her arms up, causing the water to freeze.
the two looked at what she did.
"You... you just froze water." Boscha said, "Have your eyes always been bright blue?"
I have a job interview this afternoon, wish me luck. Follow, Favorite, and Review for more.
