Chapter 26: Caiyi
"Dang it!" I shouted aloud in frustration. "How do we get Shirley back?!"
Suddenly, Jessica's head turned, green mist flowing from her mouth and eyes.
"Approach, seeker, and ask." the Delphi rasped at me.
I was dumbfounded. Why me? Why not Pranu? It usually was her who got all of the quests.
"How do we get Shirley back?" I asked again, timidly. The Delphi's gaze bored into my skull, seemingly looking not at me, but through me, and then she spoke:
"The sun that had set might once again rise
Should the half-blooded search for it, land and skies
The followers of the moon shall find the ones they seek
at the meeting of river and mountain peak
Two others will go, one to chase
the sun to the east in an ancient race
The other shall seek the secrets of the soul
so that the curses of age will take their toll
upon even the immortals who look on from up high
and one other who'll give an eye for an eye
Fragments they are, and they will converge
Into one whole to the foe they shall surge
The losses shall not be many, should the bonds be true
and friendships that were severed will begin anew..."
