Fade: The Eternal Saga

Chapter 7: Land of The Forsaken

It was dark. The atmosphere was cold as ice. The skies were coated with dark blue. The sun never shed light upon the land. clouds were flying above. The land was filled with the ruins and remains of the capital city of Antalon. It was abandoned for millenniums of years that it had aged over several periods. The castle of the kingdom where the monarch lies. It still stands today after all of the different ages that had passed. Amongst this land were Rayquill, Monera, and Kathyrinn as they walked towards the castle. They saw the ruins and decaying of the homes nearby. They were chilled to the bones of how cold it was. Seeing several abandoned and forsaken homes from a forgotten Kingdom only made them fear more for what remains left to be discovered from the castle. When they were about to enter from the gate. Rayquill spoke to Kathyrinn.

"This city.... it makes me uneasy of how many people have been deceased and to rot from this land. I can't seem to imagine what could have possibly happened here."

"I also feel the same way. As we explore and investigate further on the castle. Upon discovering such important information and historical pieces than we must leave this thrilling place immediately. It is quite cold that it just makes me feel uneasy as well." Kathyrinn responded.

"I absolutely agree with what Kathyrinn has to say. I don't want to remain in this place for much longer." Monera spoke.

Rayquill nodded. As they spoke amidst one another. They opened the door towards the castle. The castle was quite dark due to the dark-blue atmosphere. It was still manageable to foresee, but it was still difficult for them to see on their surroundings. They advanced further to bestow themselves upon the throne of the king. They had a chilling feeling as they encountered the throne. Kathyrinn was surprised.

"There's something going on this castle. There are somewhat no corpses that we have discovered yet." Kathyrinn spoke in confusion.

"Yes, it is strange. I have a surreal feeling about this." Rayquill responded.

"Me too." Monera responded.

"Pehaps we should explore further beyond these corridors. Let us not be separated from one another." Kathyrinn responded.

They all ventured deeply into the castle hallways. It was dark. It is almost pitched black. they looked around their surroundings as they were moving. The walls were old. It has shown several cracks and moldering amongst them. The castle was quite dusty as well, for it had shown no signs of life living amongst this castle for several years. As they were observing the surroundings of the hallway. They finally discovered a door. Kathyrinn holds the doorknob. The doorknob was full of rust and dust. She slowly opens it to reveal the room. They entered to reveal that the room was full of bookshelves and books. Kathyrinn had found that this was an archive.

"Ah! This is what we have been looking for. This room could contain such valuable information that we could find." Kathyrinn spoke.

"An archive...I didn't expect that there would still be one standing somehow remaining amidst this forsaken ruins of the kingdom." Rayquill responded.

The room had several bookshelves and a desk on the far center. There was a large window behind it, making some light to enter. Joycelyn Monera walks close towards the desk. The desk was somewhat containing lots of literary and historical pieces. She found a chart on the desk.

"What's this?" She asked.

Kathyrinn progresses closely towards her.

"What did you find?" She responded as she was looking at the chart.

"This, it seems to be a chart."

"Let me see."

Kathyrinn looks at the chart thoroughly. She could see several numbers until she had realised what this chart was. She was shocked to see what the numbers had displayed before her.
