Chapter 2 Nine Sacred Gems (Part 2)

Chapter 2 – Nine Sacred Gems (Part 2)

Everyone wake up again in the unknown place, but it was not the uninhabited city where Benz, Que and Ton came. They were standing on softy cloud that wide till out of sight like the sea of cotton wool. They were looking at point that the sea of cloud met blue sky.

“I’m waiting for you,” A softy smooth sound loud. When they turn back, they met a lady standing in front of them. She was Navaratanadara. Her smiles still sweet that can melt eight hearts of the boys who were standing there. “This meeting shows that you your opportunity which want me to help you. What is that?”

“Do you know we will come back?”

“I know, I know. The destiny leads you to me.”

“Destiny? Oh! Yes. Last time you said to me that my friends are the guardians like me. So, I want to prove that it is real or not.”

“I can’t keep the truth to secret, or not, it’s mean I refrain my obligation that keep the truth to you. Every words that I said to you is true, it can’t be wrong.”

“Well, is it true or false?” Kyo ask Que with his confusion in Navaratanadara’s speech. Que tilt his head, his eyes were focusing on her. “So, you will give the holy sign to them like me?” she didn’t answer, but she tilt her head instead. Safe ask her to give him the holy sign because everyone seem ready to be the guardians, except Mod and Bim who were look hesitate.

“Er…, dear friends. Are you sure to be the guardian?”

“Yes, yes. Are you sure?”

“We haven’t any chance, Mod, Bim. Our friends are getting problems. If we are not help them, who can help them? Although it will be hard or danger, we must help them because we are friends.” Mod and Bim surprise in Safe’s word because it seems that a person who spoke those speech was not Safe, it’s like the other said, but they understand in the reason of everyone. So, Mod and Bim agree with them.

“Because of your wish, I glad to do.” Navaratanadara touch on their forehead softy and spell the magic formula to them. The holy sign appear on their forehead and decrease quickly. “Now, you can occupy the sacred gems. If you get any problem, please open this book. It will lead you to me. I suggest you something that not only everything in this world had something specific matched to them, nine sacred gems stay in the places that match with them also. If you haven’t any errand, my obligation is ending now. May the highest heaven bless you, the guardians”

Their bodies soar up higher and higher until out of sight. They wake up again in the library that they were stay before. Benz was still holding the golden scroll. When everyone sees that scroll, they realize that their obligation is beginning.

“Well, what should we do with this scroll?” Bas ask while he was looking at the scroll.

“I think we should open it.” Kyo present his thinking.

“I…Is it good?”

“If you do not open it, how do we know what are there inside?” Although most of them are waver, from Champ’s speech made them want to know more till their anxiety and their hesitation are lose. They choose to unfurl that scroll.

Benz pulls red ribbon that tie on the golden scroll slowly until the scroll was slip off from the tie that binds for many centuries. Although the outer surface of that scroll was coat with gold which was hammered until it was very thin and the highest technology machine in the present time cannot do it, when they slip off the scroll, they found that is an old papyrus paper inside. The perimeter of the scroll was dark brown because of the time. But the most surprise thing is on the scroll, there is nothing on the scroll!

“Hey!” Safe exclaim “Why this scroll is blank?”

“No, no. May be it has something hiding in it!” but when Kit turn it back, there was nothing change.

Suddenly, the light was shining from the scroll. Kit keeps it on the table quickly. The sounds of musical instruments play joined with the voice that singing the song both men and women, like the songs that sing in the church when celebrated the holy ceremony to praise everyone who live in the highest heaven. Although that song was melodious more than the songs they were listen, the rhythm and tone of voice were conceal with sadness, missing and seeking the lovers deeply. They were silent standing, listen that mysterious sound like they were a victim of magic. Every eye was focus on the scroll without any movement like the time on the world was stop for a time. And that, the thing that made everyone who standing around the scroll shock was appear. The English alphabets were soaring out from the scroll to the air by the aid of magic and mixed up in the air, over head level. Those alphabets arrange their place to the words, sparkling to the third floor of the library, showing an enigma that Navaratanadara was remark to them. An enigma of the place of the first gem!

“Building at place where King’s purpose is,
To prevent everyone from danger and disease,
Once was dead, but now reborn again,
At the place of worship nears an elephant.”

That enigma show on for a time before the last paragraph was disintegrated to the golden dust until the other paragraphs were disintegrated too. The golden dust was scatter to the scroll like the golden rain was rained to the world, show the enigma on that scroll in the same time that the song which singing was end. The silence of library was come again.

Everyone just amaze with everything that they met and didn’t think that the nine sacred gems were wake up from sleeping for long time and knowing the appearance of the first scroll!
