Chapter #21: [DEATH PLANE: 3]

The Shrine is riddled in Runes just about everywhere and it would take years to finish up if I tried to read every single thing, so I, along with Lisa, explored the Temple further more to try and find something that we could start on.

The place was also very dark, but thanks to my Light Element Powers, it was easily overcame. After wandering for a few minutes, we finally found something. It was a black stone slab, made from similar to the ones made in the Shrine's doors, and it looked quite like the tablets containing a monument's description, if we were on Earth.

We walked towards it, and upon looking, saw that it was filled with similar Runes. However, there was also something different. The Runes were noticeably distant this time, each Rune were also lined up perfectly on each other, making it appear similar to a crossword puzzle, except that it's just a Runic crossword.

"Runic...", Lisa muttered besides me. Raising her hands, she focused her power on the tablet to try and analyze it. However, I interrupted her.

"There's no need. I'll do it.", I said to her, closing my hand upon hers and bringing it down.

Strange, her hand seemed to heat up for a bit...

"Alright...", I heard her reply, and I let go.

Hovering my palms on the tablet, I begun to scan.

In my eyes, the Runes seemingly glowed as they were slowly being translated into my preferred language. It happened in just a few seconds, and all the Runes were translated. Analyzing it carefully, I began to read out loud.

"Here lies the Lady of Woe."

"The Weeping Angel who wishes for everything to stop."

"Never had happiness once in her life."

"Only had a life of bland gray and endless sorrow."

"Till her end, she never achieved colors."

"Once this is read, her life will be told."

"The story of the Lady who tried to escape the world of dead colors."

As I soon as I finished reading the last part, the place shook and rumbled, making me and Lisa immediately put up our guard. However, it only lasted for just a few seconds, before it suddenly halted, as if it never came in the first place.

Looking around to see what happened, we were caught off guard when the Runes on the Tablet that I read suddenly let out great amounts of energy, making it glow and light up.

Soon, the energy traveled down to the floor, spreading quickly. The lines on the ground that were once barely glowing were now emitting much more light, making the place quite visible.

I dispelled out my Light, as the energy now reached the walls. We both looked in fascination, as the Runes and giant drawings which most likely depicted the Deity and her life glowed and lit up the place even more.

Soon, the whole place was now well lighted, making the giant room that we are in and the hallway behind us very visible.

"The Lady of Sorrow.", Lisa said beside me, bringing my admiration to a stop and turning my attention to her.

"You know the Deity of this place?", I'm glad that this girl's quite well informed and is willing to share it with me.

"From the books only. She wasn't a Deity that died in the Falling, but was rather betrayed by the one that she loved.", She explained to me.
