24 Final Bend of The Labyrinth 1 (1/2)

'Herald had no idea what to do..

Standing in front of the Gate wasn't going to change anything,'

'It looked like it's midway through the day. The weather is very sunny and it's making Herald even sicker of his situation.

He looked arround and thought about laying down under the trees of the little tropical jungle of the island.

It will help him think in a clearer way.'

'Herald goes there and enters the little jungle, he wasn't afraid of meeting a wild beast because it's an island, no way there could be one.'

'But he was cautious of the little creatures, insects and probably snakes..

Fortunately nothing scary met his way, he found a pretty nice spot to sit in.'

'He looked up and noticed its some big coconuts laying down from the tree.

Only then he remembered that he had not ate anything the whole day, this tree will provide him with both food and drink.'

*On the other hand.*

'Everybody gathered together in front of the Gate.'

'Their faces weren't very bright though, even for people who only met Herald for the first time today!

They were worried, it's the first day and already one of them is left alone to face a tough fate.

Anyone can be next...

That's what they all thought at the moment.'

'Oumad was the most worried and sick about this. He's now recalling what he saw using his powers.'

”...What was that?

We were outside and i didn't see any other building except this one..

Maybe it's another hidden building..No, surely it is!! Maybe another Illusion??

It looked like a Labyrinth for a second..

Damn me!! I wasn't that focused...I only wanted to know if he's gonna be fine at the end...”

*Ayla looked towards Oumad and felt his gloominess.*

In a low voice she said. ”..What is it? You're worried about your friend right?”

Oumad looked towards her, then towards the ground. ”..Yes I am.”

Ayla put her hand arround Oumad's shoulders and said.

”..Don't worry! He'll be fine i am sure.

And if he wasn't, we'll do anything to come and save him.”

Oumad. ”That's sweet from you, but i already know he'll be fine.

In fact, he'll join here...

Tomorrow.”

*Outside the Castle.*

'Herald is sitting there eating the coconut he worked hard for to get and open.'

'After finishing it, he can say goodbye to his human needs for sometime.'

'Although he is worried about what he's going to do if he didn't figure out the way to enter the castle before night comes down...'

Herald again grabbed the paper Elara wrote him and read it carefully.

”...I am what i don't realise i am...

Why did they have to leave a mystery in my hand, as if we're not already in a bigger one.

I was just yesterday laying so comfortably in my bed and now am left on an island..Literally!

But anyways.. Stop bitching Herald!!

Solve this and join the rest.

...The rest!! Hmmm, it seems like i lack something that the rest have. Which allowed them to pass unlike me.

What could it be then?

We're all Atlanteans, We all got special powers...

Although mine seems to be the weakest and most useless...

Is that why i wasn't allowed to pass through? That makes no sense...It isn't like we chose our powers by our will. It was Thoth who bestowed them upon me... For some fucking reason the 5years i spent with him in the dream all vanished from my head...

I am pretty sure he teached me a lot about my powers...Yet i cannot remember!

*Herald took a moment off of thinking, and looked arround him.*

”..It isn't the best of situations but it surely is a beautiful place.” He said.

”Oh yeah! Oumad said something about our last conversation...

We were talking about our powers as well and what Guiado told him about the Atlantean's powers...

Does it mean...I haven't discovered yet my powers?

Impossible!
