Trapped With No Future

Chapter 6 The Start of Eliathem and the King

With illuminating glaciers for eyes, Eliathem awoke around thirty minutes of dawn from her sleep. Which gave her enough time to meet again with the King. Eliathem started to get ready and grabbed everything she needed. The key, the cylinder with the keyhole in the middle of it. She packed the folded page with her scruffy, brief drawing of all of the keys and symbols placed together. She packed some other useful items that might come in handy as well. Then Eliathem jogged over to the front and main forest with much time to spare. Eliathem then got everything ready as she waited for the King's arrival to join with her plan.

Eliathem was waiting so calm and collectedly that she was almost feeling hostage in her own mind. Did not the King say strictly, to be here at exact dawn, and now he is an hour late, Eliathem thought with frustration running through her veins? She was thinking that this King thought he needed royal treatment while everyone is dying from his mistakes.

Finally, the King had arrived and Eliathem was relieved and intrigued for what was going to happen with the discussion.

"Over here, come here please", Eliathem called as calmly and nicely as she could.

"Oh, there you are Ellie", the King said callously.

Eliathem felt a little angered by how he just randomly called her Eli with no regard for how she felt about that name and said it was carelessly and tiredly after being over an hour late. Not that time even mattered in this messed-up world.

The King and Eliathem started to get to work. Eliathem grabbed everything out and started showing him the keys and symbols. The King was shocked and overwhelmed by what she was showing him. The King was more interested in the messy sketched drawing of the symbols altogether. So. Eliathem started to explain it and give some of her insights into what she believes it could all mean and have to do with saving this treacherous world-life.

"So, these symbols are shown on this key which is the first key I found. Now here is the cylinder I found with the keyhole in the middle of it. The next symbol is a heart with a cylinder shape in the middle of the heart. I had the vision to find the next one and I am hoping that I will somehow be able to find the next symbol which is supposedly the heart-shaped symbol with a cylinder shape in the middle of it", Eliathem said.

As the King complemented everything Eliathem had uncovered, he leaned down to wrap his hand on both sides of the paper. Glowing lasers of lightning wiggled out of the page like snakes and showed the same thing that demonstrated that Eliathem was correct about the symbols going together. However, this vision also showed clues to the destination of the heart symbol with the cylinder shape in the middle of the heart. This part of the vision was only visible by the eyes of Eliathem. The King saw nothing else but the symbols all put together in perfect harmony.

In Eliathem's vision, there was a luminescent chest hiding in a mouth of a cave that was so dark, that the luminescence of the chest was only able to burst out a fracture of a faint and plain bloom of light that floated around that the fog of mist on the edge of the cavern. This cave seemed familiar. Eliathem assumed that the cave was sticking around a cliff of the fragile, frosty mountains about a mile south of the town.

"I think I may have an idea where that cave is that we just saw", Eliathem said quickly.

"What cave", the King grimaced with much confusion?

"The one from that holographic vision we just saw come out of the page", Eliathem replied annoyingly.

"There was no image of a cave being projected", the King responded arrogantly.

"Yes, there was. We just saw it! We're you not paying attention or something", Eliathem blurted out sternly.

"Yes, I was! I saw the symbols being put together like your sketch. What did you see", the King asked with shock?

"I saw the location of the next symbol. How did you not see it", Eliathem said with surprise?

"I did not see that. Probably, only you can see the visions because in my spell I said only one person will be able to save this world", the King explained.

"I guess.....you are correct", Eliathem replied with paranoia.

"Alright, but, you can still help me, right", Eliathem asked carefully.

"Of course", the King said with joy.

"Great. Thank you", Eliathem said tiredly.

"No problem", the King said rejoicing.
