HOLD MY HAND THROUGH THE WAVES

CHAPTER 20

            WE SHOULD BEGIN SOON

        “You did??” “Of course..It belongs to or was meant to the Devil Prince, Flip the paper it’s written there.” Adam flipped the paper and nodded in realisation. “Is Devil Prince written there?” “Yes, Do you know what it means?” Derek asked curiously, “No I don’t it’s just a Weird name don’t you think so too? Rainier replied scratching his head. “Any ways Derek continue..” Adam and rest of them moved closer to him. He took an another paper from his pocket and opened it,  
“Follow the stars... At last, deeper the darker, Harder to hear, Pulled inside either you die airless or eaten. Even if you lay your hands on it will 'it' let you leave with it?” Derek closed the paper and looked at them, “It’s what it says..” “Good job Derek..” Wolf patted his fluffy hair. “Yaah stop treating me like a little kid, I’m older than you all.” “Alright...” Wolf raised both his hands above his head giggling. “So It’s a riddle..” A wide grin appeared on Adam’s face and he turned Ezra who was already looking at him with a smile. “So..It’s pretty easy if you ask me.. Follow the stars have to do with something with Nolan’s locket and The second answer is a water body, Deep down it has something we want but it might be guarded with something.” Everyone’s jaw dropped at Ezra’s sudden discovery. “What? She’s always been good at riddles, Don’t you guys know that?” Adam shrugged at them all and continued, “As we found out the note and riddle, Before we move on to the Locket we shall play..” He turned to Kai. “Ooh yes I almost forgot, As we have one more player we don’t need a look out Agnes can be paired with Derek.” “Okay!! Partner if you are excited say Fighting!!” “Fighting~...” “Oh-That’s a lot of energy..” Derek replied to Agnes’s dead response.

       All lined up for the game, It was Arthur and Ezra who were up first. “I’m counting on you Future King of Lorelei..” “What the hell- NO! I’m counting on you, Future Queen of Miriana..” “Does that mean we both don’t know how to play?” “In case you don’t know too then yes..” Ezra and Arthur whispered to each other. It was between Arthur and Ezra and Veronica and Wolf. The first round begin with Arthur’s throw, It was no where near three inches from the spike. “What? It’s heavier than I thought.” Said Arthur to Ezra who gave him a death glare. “Pray for me Arthur..” She picked up the horseshoe, “God it’s heavy..” Said Ezra grunting. She threw with all her strength and One of them reached within 3 inches. “See..I did it!!” “Yes!!” Arthur and Ezra jumped in happiness holding hands. Next team came to the point, “You ready?” Wolf asked, “Yes!!” They both put their hands together, “Aargh!!” Their scream made Adam choke on his strawberry. Wolf made his first throw and It landed within 3 inches and next one was a RINGER!! “Oh my god Wolf!!” Veronica and Wolf clapped their hands together. Both of Veronica’s throws landed inside 3 inches. After four more turns Veronica and Wolf won. “It was a fair play, Wolf and Veronica wins with the score 40 : 23” Announced Kai. Now It was time for round 2 between Adam and Kai and Derek and Agnes.

       “FIGHTING!!” “Fighting~” Derek and Agnes made fists at each other.
“Should we do something like that too?” “Should we?” Kai and Adam stood there blinking at each other as Derek opened the game with his throw, RINGER and RINGER again. “Watashitachi wa shinde imasu~” (We are dead~ (Japanese)) “maj-a hwagsilhi eiseuya~”(Right, He is an ace for sure~ (Korean)) Adam and Kai whispered to each other. “Didn’t you guys just curse at us in different languages?” Derek interrupted their private conversation and moved from the point for Agnes to play. He crossed his fingers and prayed for her to land near 3 inches at least but, “ije huimang-i saeng-gyeossseubnida..” (We got hope now..(Korean)) “Hai hai burazā~” (Yes yes Brother~(Japanese)) The happiness was visible on their glowing eyes. Adam and Kai was ready for their turn. “Oi! Senpai, saikō!!!!” (Hey! Senior, The best!!!) “You are embarrassing me Kai Chan!!” Adam took a deep breadth and made his throw both of them were RINGER! Kai already knew he could ace this game that’s why he chose this. Both his threw were RINGER too. After an intense game, Adam and Kai won with the score 52 : 32. They were on a discussing which team will have to compete with Rainier and Fox before the final match.
