Chapter 20: 20 Quest 4: Unlocking the Ancient Scroll
"Can anyone possess the power to wield magic?" Zephyr inquired. "Certainly! Cherry has the ability to command fire, while Gannon can manipulate the element of air!" Mr. Eldric exclaimed. "Ah, splendid! I require their presence alongside the light wielder behind the ancient scroll," Zephyr declared, envisioning the combined forces of their unique abilities.
"Seraphina, could you stand beside Mr. Eldric and me to assist the children in unlocking the scroll?" Zephyr asked. "Absolutely!" Seraphina replied with enthusiasm. "Children, let's make our move!" Zephyr exclaimed, and they all proceeded forward. Gannon and Cherry Zephyr hovering behind them, joining Noid on the platform. Zephyr positioned himself in the air, facing them, ready to guide and support their efforts.
"Alright, children, this is how we're going to unlock the scroll! Some of the writings have a corrupted pattern that needs to be removed," Zephyr explained. "But how can we do that?" Cherry asked curiously. "As the guardian, I have the power to manipulate the shifting patterns of the writings by pushing them into the air, and Cherry, as the fire wielder, you will burn them away," Zephyr answered, outlining their roles in the process.
The scroll before them was of immense size, dwarfing the children and evoking a sense of awe. Its golden edges hinted at the possibility of folding, yet the writings inscribed upon it were in a peculiar language. They observed that some of the writings emitted a dark aura, while others glowed with a vibrant yellow light. Certain sections appeared to be devoid of any writing, as if waiting for the appropriate words to be placed.
"Now, children, this is our plan. First, I will lift the writings into the air. If they emit a dark aura, Cherry, you will use your fire to burn them away," Zephyr explained. "Yes, sir!" Cherry replied with determination. "And if the writings have a yellow aura, Noid, as the light wielder, you will infuse them with more light while Gannon, the air wielder, will carefully place them back in their original positions. Understand?" Zephyr continued. "Yes, sir!" Noid and Gannon responded in unison, ready for their respective roles.
Sure thing! "Air, your next task is to carefully shift the writings with a white aura to their rightful places in the void spaces. You've got this!"
Gannon nodded eagerly, ready to take on the task. "Now, kids, let's get started! Are you ready?" Zephyr asked with excitement. "We're ready!" the children replied in unison. "Alright, children, let's dive in and unlock the mysteries of these scrolls!"
Seraphina observed Zephyr and the children alongside Mr. Eldric as they embarked on the task of unlocking the scroll. "These extraordinary children truly possess an awe-inspiring talent," she remarked, her voice filled with wonder and admiration.
"I agree, Seraphina," Mr. Eldric replied, his voice filled with admiration. "These children possess remarkable determination and courage. They fearlessly put their lives on the line to achieve their goals, just like true heroes. However, I understand your concern. We must ensure that the corruption of the past does not taint their noble spirits and turn them into gods of Innacity. Let us hope that their pure hearts will guide them on the right path."
Zephyr swiftly pushed the dark aura writing into the air behind him, while Cherry unleashed a powerful burst of fire, melting them down in an instant. Smoke billowed from her palm as she caught her breath. Meanwhile, Noid continued to illuminate the yellow aura writing, and Gannon skillfully manipulated the air, pushing the void space to be filled with the writings from the scroll. The children's teamwork and abilities were truly remarkable!
In no time at all, the kids and Zephyr wrapped up their work on the scroll. They managed to completely fill the writings with the dark aura, burning away any remnants of it. The yellow aura glowed brightly, thanks to Noid's skillful manipulation of light. And Gannon used his air manipulation to perfectly fill the pages, ensuring consistency throughout.
"Now it's time to switch positions and embark on the final activity to unravel the mystery of the ancient scroll," Zephyr announced, calling out to Seraphina. "It's your turn to shine!"
"Okay, I'm on my way," Seraphina replied, her excitement palpable. She then approached Mr. Eldric one last time, expressing her gratitude. "Thanks, Mr. Eldric, for the wonderful time. Now it's my turn to take on the task!" With those words, Seraphina gracefully took to the air, with Zephyr flying alongside her. As they passed, Zephyr landed beside Mr. Eldric, and Seraphina assumed Zephyr's previous position. The children watched their flight with a mix of awe and intrigue.
"Alright, children, this time we're going to unlock the true meaning of the scroll. Each one of you needs to tap into the flow of energy within yourselves. This unlocking will guide you on your final quest and lead you out of the cave tunnel," Seraphina explained, her voice filled with anticipation. The children listened intently, ready to embark on this mystical journey.
"Children are you ready to unlock the scroll?!" Zephyr exclaimed beside Mr Eldric, excitement evident in his voice.
"Are you ready to unlock the scroll?"
"Yes, we're ready!" the children replied eagerly, their voices filled with determination and anticipation. They were prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead in their quest to unravel the mysteries of the ancient scroll. Seraphina flew behind them on the platform and said, "All of you, place your hands inside the scroll according to the writings that correspond to your elemental powers!" The children followed Seraphina's instructions, placing their hands on the scroll. Seraphina placed her hands behind Noid's back, channeling her energy through him. She asked, "Ready?"
"Let's do this!" they replied enthusiastically, ready to unlock the hidden secrets of the scroll. Together, they place their hands on the scroll, feeling the ancient energy coursing through their fingertips. As they concentrate, a soft glow emanates from the scroll, illuminating the room with a warm, golden light. With a gentle tug, the scroll unfurls, revealing intricate symbols and writings that hold the secrets of the ancient mage. "Now, children, listen up! I'm about to explain the meaning behind each symbol. The one with a clever mind will be able to grasp the true significance and help complete the ancient mage's quest. Only then can you venture into the Perilous Wilds," Seraphina explained, Cherry's eyes widened with excitement as Seraphina confirmed that the next adventure would take them to the Perilous Wilds, starting from the cave tunnel. The thought of exploring such a mysterious and dangerous place sent shivers down Cherry's spine.
"Wow, the Perilous Wilds! I can't wait to see what awaits us there. Let's prepare ourselves for the journey ahead!" Cherry exclaimed in her thoughts, eager to embark on the thrilling new chapter of their quest.
Seraphina explains the significance of each symbol, helping the children understand the wisdom and power contained within.
