The Celestial Nobles (The Awakening of the Phoenix) [Completed]

Chapter 51: Hint! (With a pinch of Deja Vu?)

"Guys, I have something here." As Jade said those words, we all went closer to him. "It says here that the only way to open the gates, is if we use the main keys." He explained while pointing to the written page.

"Keys? Then does that mean that we need two of it?" Guinevere asked.

"Probably." Jade answered. "But the question is how? We don't even know what those keys look like." He said and we all went in silence as we look in the book.

"There must be something in their than meets-the-eye. We need to see the other pages." I said and Jade just agreed and started to flip to the next page. There we saw some kind of instructions that we don't even knkw the meaning. But the only thing that made it familiar was the two gate-like structure in the left side of the book.

"Aha! Here it is!" Jade exclaimed. "To open the gate~
Two must become one~
Find the keys to the door been told~
But worry no more, because they're here and not gone!" He read.

"What would that even mean?" Rose asked with a questioning gaze at our reader. But he just shrugged his shoulders.

"There's also another text here that says...
The keys are not hard to find~
In fact, they are already in your hands~
The wonderer's crystal is already found~
Therefore, you may use it to enter inside."

"I don't even understand what that text is saying! Why does it have to be complex anyways?" Rose asked and we just tried to think of an answer.

"Actually, I think it's not that hard, I mean... The clue is already here, I can feel it! But I think we're still missing something." Guinevere said.
"Let me have a look." She borrowed and when she read the book. She squinted her eyes.
We kinda waited for about a minute when... "Tracey, look at this." She called Traceler and when he read the text, he smirked.

"I now know what it means." He said and looked at everyone of us. "Guin's right. It's not that hard.ook at this part. The wonderer's crystal is already found~
I think, it's telling us to use our gears. But specifically, just two of our gears." He explained.

"How can you say so?" I asked.

"Simple! One key is on me, which is... The old wonderer's sword!" We all chanted in unison as he show us the sword that he got.

"Oh! So that's what it meant by the wonderer. But how about the crystal?" Mye asked, and we all looked at Tracey.

"That I am not sure. I think it's either, the formidable crystal, or Guin's orb." He explained.

"Why don't we try it then?" I said and everyone looked at me. "We won't make any progress if we don't try." I continued.

"Doing such thing might put us in great danger! We must plan everything carefully. We aren't at the palace, nor the academy. We can't just simply be some simpletons here." Granger said, and even though he's out of line, he's still right.

"I think Traceler is right about the first one. But the second one, nope~" Marc said. "It didn't said that there are two different things that we need to combine. I think it means to combine two similar things, but of different origins?" He explained, and we also agreed to this.

"But what could it be?" I asked, and when I can't think of any answers anymore. I gave up and just trued to use my ability. Maybe I could help.

I started to wave my hands. I focused of things and thought of what I wanted to do. If I could do it, then good, if not, well~ at least I tried. After taking full control over myself, I trued to find the answer I was looking for. I faced my palm in front of everyone to find any source of aura which can predict of the keys, but as I was about to feel their presence... Everything around me started to change. And like deja vu, I was back to where I was at earlier.

This seemingly familiar place. The forest, the house in the middle, the man sitting in front of a table, looking around as if he was in a new place, exploring everything. Then came this woman with the tray. And everything that I saw earlier, lies in front of me again.

"What the hell is really going on here?!" I asked, but like earlier, whenever I try to walk closer, it just felt like I wasn't able to move from my place.

"Wake up~" I heard a voice say. "Wake up! Hey! Both of you!" I heard again, and this time. It was getting clearer every second. So I looked behind me, just to be back at the dark loop again.

I calmed myself down. Only then I realized that I was actually tensed, so I breath slowly and focused. I faced my palm in front of me again, and didn't mind about other things, and when I faced my hands in my left. Their I saw what I was actually looking for.
The keys that we have to find, lies in front of me. And Marc is right! We aren't supposed to be looking for a different combination, but a similar one with different origins.

After that, I stopped what I was doing and went back to the real world. Where everyone looked at me with worry.

"Are you okay? You're sweating heavily!" Guinevere asked, and I just nodded.

"Both of you needs to pull yourselves together!" Marc said and only then I saw Granger also being supported by both Marc and Jade to stand up.

"What happened to him?"

I asked myself as I worriedly looked at him. But after remembering what I just found out, I looked at the gates and said.

"Tracey, Mark? May I borrow your swords?" They all looked at me with curiosity after that. "I just want to try out something." I explained.

"Give it to her, she already figured in out." Granger said, making me surprised. Also, everyone did.

Both gave me their swords, and at first, I looked at both of it, and I couldn't really say that it is a key for some reason. I just don't see a key from both these things. All I see are just plane ol' swords~

Anyways, I after checking them both, I looked at the gate's lock and then look back at the swords. That's when I figured how it would work. I pieced them both together. I put them side to side on each other and then I borrowed Jade's book.
There I saw a chant.

"Now that two has become one~
There are no other things to be done~
The only way to open the gate~
Is by using the most common bond~
The bond of love, not of hate~"

After reading that, we looked at each other. Unable to really tell what this means. But Granger held the swords or should I say, keys that I am holding while I am still holding it.

"We have to do this. Both of us." He said and looked at me. "You know what I mean." He looked at me in the eyes, as if he was trying to talk with me telepathically. And I somehow got what he meant by that, so I nodded in agreement, and we went in front of the gate. "Ready?" He asked, and after seeing me nod, we both pushed the key and turned it around three times.

To be continued~
