Chapter 2 Nine Sacred Gems

Chapter 2 – Nine Sacred Gems

Three boys regain their consciousness again and found that they are standing in a wild and uninhabited city.

“Where is this?” Benz asks.

“I don’t know,” Ton answer while he considers around him with his suspect, “it’s not familiar for me.”

“Look that!” Que sign on the square building where in front of him.

“That is…” While Benz is saying, the white light is flowing down from the dark sky. That light is bigger, bigger, and bigger. The boys are standing only. Their astonishment and their fright make them cannot move their legs. No sooner, the light appears in front of them and changes it to a white lady, her black eyes fitting with her prominent nose and her egg shape face. Her eyelashes set up perfectly included her curved eyebrows like an artist’s masterpiece drawing picture. Her red lips like a blossoming red rose. Her black hair like a clear midnight in winter which different from her white clothes that she is wearing. The golden crown, ornament with nine gems, is colorful shining. Her white wings on her back spread like the eagle’s wings when it fly on blue sky that make her look afraid. She smiles to the boys who standing in front of her. Her smile is the most gentle that everyone never see.

“Don’t afraid me, the guardians”

“Who are you?”

“I am Navaratanadara, the angel of nine sacred gems. I am a messenger who brings a message from the highest heaven to the guardians.”

“Guardians? What’s an item that guard for?”

“You are the guardians whom the highest heaven choose, and seven friends of you too, to finish an important mission that necessary to use your power to collect the nine sacred gems which vanished since more than 200 years ago. Because of this vanishing, this civilized kingdom was destroyed before the time it should and this kingdom was erased from the world history forever.”

“How can we know where are these sacred gems?”

“Each the sacred gem has their own golden scroll which record an enigma that refer to the place where the sacred gems stay. A person who can answer the enigma in the scroll is necessary to get the holy sign from me. When you can collect the first sacred gem, you must answer an enigma that record to the place where the next sacred gems stay, but the sacred gems cannot live over fifteen nights since its own golden scroll was opened. I will give the holy sign which is the important evidence that show you are the guardians and a golden scroll to you.”

She reaches her soft hand, touch softy on their heads and spell the magic formula to them. They feel their body light like a bird feather blow up slowly. The sign of the guardian appear on their foreheads and decrease quickly like water on the sand. After that, she gave a golden scroll to Benz.

“I want to warn you something. Before you can collect each sacred gem, you must pass the testing from that sacred gem. Nobody knows how they are wanted to do, except you. My obligation has just finish. May the Highest heaven bless you, good luck, the guardians.”

Her wings move slowly and quicker. Her body blow up to the sky until unsighted. Benz, Que, and Ton feel the land that they are standing is shaking like earthquake and break down quickly. Suddenly, they fall to the under ground. No sound left from anywhere except the sound of breaking land like the world is destroying.”

They regain their consciousness again on the table in the library. The red book falled besides Ton.

“Am I alive?”

“Are we just dreaming?”

“Not at all, Que. Look at this!” Benz hand in the golden scroll which it had red ribbon bundled to Que. The scroll lighten when it touch the light like the golden sun rise in the morning. The red ribbon makes everyone feel hot as fire. They are looking at that scroll and look at their friends face with their astonishment and think review to the situation that they just met.

“It’s mean…”

“Is it real story?”

“Of course, Ton. If it just a dreaming, how can it come?”

“What are you doing, darling. Why are you too late?” Bim’s voice loud from the ladder. Benz hides the scroll behind him by Ton and Que standing besides him.

“Er, Bim. This time you have English I class, aren’t you?” Que ask her for change the issue.

“Oh, yes, but the class has just finished. When I came to the faculty’s table, our friends told that you went to library for one hour. So, I come to find you.”

“Where are the others?”

“They are coming.”

“Hey! You are here!” Safe said and everyone walking after him.

“Why are you standing like this?” Kit asks

“Are you hiding anything?”

“No! No…nothing.”

“Don’t tell a lie, my friends.”

“I said nothing, Champ.”

“Que, don’t keep it secret. How bad temper am I!”

“OK. It’s up to you. If they want to keep it secret, don’t force them. Let’s back to our table. I regret the time that we anxious you.” Bas sarcastic his friend, turn back and walk down while Benz, Que and Ton turn their face together like they ask ‘Should we tell them?’

“Wait!” Benz shouts “I think I have something to tell to you.”

Bas stop his walking, turn his face to his friend. “What?”

“It was…” They start to tell their experience that they had met since they hear the mysterious sound in this library until they regain their consciousness again before their friends come up. On the first time, everyone seems unbelievable in their friend’s story but they know that their friends are not lying man. When they listen the whole story, Champ show his opinion that opening the book again to prove they tell the truth. When Ton open that book, the golden light come out from that book bundle their bodies and lost in that book again…
