Chapter 11 - Origin

********************

Somewhere in BC, before time became important...

Jin and Silvester are out of the void. Their first adventure has ended.

now...

The second begins...

They arrive in an empty cave in Heliopolis, an ancient kingdom on continent C.

*It is really hot here*, Jin cries out loud. He isn't a fan of warm, hot surroundings.

Currently, they don't know where exactly they are. All they know is... they just jumped through a void and ended up in a cave, a massive cave, the largest cave in the world!

They walk towards the exit of the cave, which they believe to be the exit from the cave to the outside world. *Dad, how do you know this path is towards the exit?* Silvester asks. Jin starts smiling. He widens his smile and laughs out loud as he tells his son. * To be honest, I don't know man, but... I think we arrived in Anthopia—what did they call it in the past? Egypt?* He asks rhetorically and answers, *Yes, that's the original name, right?*

He continues, *Well, it would mean the path with larger rocks leads outside this cave. I feel like this is the capital city of Anthopia, Heliopolis. Judging from how young these rocks look, we traveled through time, and we are a few years after their official discovery. So this is the ancient Heliopolis, huh? Never been there personally. It is known to be the lost cave. Though there is an entrance, no one has been able to enter and find out its secrets, not in the future. Being inside here means it was never always like that. However, I have seen these cave drawings somewhere before.*

He thinks for a while...

*They seem a bit different from what I tried studying a couple of years ago—or, should I rather say, many years in the future? hahaha* He laughs at his joke while Silvester hits his forehead, shaking his head, questioning how someone like his father is considered smart.

Jin goes back to being serious. He says, *I understand almost half of what is written here.* 

Meanwhile, Silvester gets excited and curious. He asks Jin, *What do the symbols say?* He is surprised by what his dad has achieved during his lifetime.

Jin jumps back and forth from one symbol to the next; the symbols aren't read in "correct, normal order." His face and ears glow slightly red. The redness of his face can be seen through his light, almost darkened skin.

*This is a treasure house, man! It feels like I can learn more and more about history. These people write about their most important adventures. Why does this one say one was killed while he was taking the largest dump in history? No, he murdered his own ass, hahaha. Oh wait, here it says to keep the information for one‘s self, "Only thou soul, worthy to understand us, shall keep our saying." Sorry, man, I would like to tell you more, but a rule is a rule, boy!*

He sighs loudly. *F'ck it, people will eventually reveal the meaning of these symbols in the future anyway, so what the hell? Alright, most of them say how much the people have missed their protectors, the gods. The language spoken between the gods and the people is almost forgotten. In their time, when they wrote all these, half of the followers couldn't translate well. Those who did tried translating their language into new symbols, which were easier to translate. They wanted their future generations to be able to read it; there are thirty-nine different kinds of symbol languages.*

His son adds, *So it means there is a superior language that no one can understand, and it translates into thirty-nine?*

Jin isn't surprised; it is easy to understand what he just explained; therefore, Silvester has only underlined and shortened what he just said.
