The Granddaughter of Mnemosyne

atapos niyon ay agad naming pinuntahan ang library. Doon ay di na kami pinahirapang maghanap ng card dahil kusang iniabot iyon sa'min ng librarian. For the first time in history, makikilala mo ang pinakamabait na librarian sa balat ng Earth — madame Teresita Salve — ang matandang dalagang nag-iisang librarian ng Mnemosyne Academy.
“Now, what's written on that card?” tanong kong muli kay Denver. Siya kasi ang tumanggap ng card.
Denver's lips carved a grin smile before me. “This time, easy peasy na ulit siya.”
“Kneel on him like the son of Odin
Kneel on him like the fifth planet
Look around and see the spartans
Behind my number where it I'd left,” it read.
Mabilis na sumagot si Gabriel sa binanggit ni Denver. “That's Zues Building behind the room number three-hundred. There must be the next card is located.”
Teka! Saan niya naman pinagpupulot ang sagot na yan? Karirinig ko pa lang ng riddle, ah. I'm about to try anlaysing it pero may sagot na siya! How could it be?
“How did you get it?” usisa ko rito.
“The son of Odin is Thor; the God of thunder, the fifth planet is Jupiter; the Zeus of Romans. Thor and Jupiter are both God of thunder which are the counterpart of Zeus in Greek Mythology. There where I get the Zeus building.” May bahid ng kopmiyansa ang mga tinuran ni Gabriel. “Moreover, the word spartans refers to the movie three-hundred. There where I got the room number. Behind the number is common sense.”
Gayundin ay nagtungo kami sa kinaroroonan ng mga binanggit ni Gab.
“Look! There's a letter on the back. It's letter A,” ani ni Denver at ipinakita sa'min ang tinutukoy niya.
“Tignan mo ang ibang card kung meron.”
“Itong isang card galing sa librarian, meron din. Dito naman, letter D ang nakalagay.”
“How 'bout the sticky note?” tanong ni Gab. Umiling lang naman si Denver sa kanya bilang sagot.
“Okay, let's continue. Basahin mo na ang next riddle,” pag-uutos ni Alex. Ewan ko kung sino ang mas matanda sa dalawang 'to. Hmm, it makes me wonder for awhile.
“He is the teacher of the teacher of my teacher of the west
When the king of colonization starts to make an interest
Under of my statue where my message stays at rest
To finish this sole mission you should pass the final test,” it read.
“It's in the museum. On the great philosopher's section. Under the statue of Socrates,” mabilis na sagot ni Gab.
Huh? Teka! Time pause! Kababasa pa lang ni Denver, eh. Ang totoo? Siya ba gumawa ng riddle na 'to?! Unbelievable!
