The piece of paper made the least sence.
"The country that needs help, you will aid,
your chessboard is the key you need paid.
The pieces, you cannot go without,
they are the key you place without doubt.
When you are done, this paper will be held up to light,
then begin the fight.
The king and queen are in the middle of the battle on it's color,
the rooks are in the corner guarded by pawns that don't shudder.
The knights are inspecting their kings and queens,
the bishops will take the other's knights who are are not keen."
"What the heck does that mean." I said.
"Maybe it leads to treasure" she said.
"If it does then I get 3/4 of it for a new pawn." I said which was kind of mean.
"I'M SORRY THAT I BROKE IT."She yelled. She looked like she might cry.
"O.K. ,I forgive you" I said trying to comfort her.
"Still, what does it mean?" She asked.
"I have no clue." I responded.
******************************************
That night, I had the weirdest dream.
Whispers said"She knows."
"He will get you"
Then something screamed "HELP"
I woke up.
Friday,last day of the week. My morning was regular. I was still thinking about it at school and didn't pay much attention.
"Pay attention Jason" Ms. Smith(science teacher) snapped. That woke me up."Now class" she continued" What is at the middle of an atom."
Then it hit me. The riddle made sense. It wasn't to find something. It was to set it out. I couldn't wait to get home.
When I got home, I told my sister.
"Let's get started"she said.
Most of the parts were easy. King and queen in the middle of the board. Rooks in the corners surrounded by pawns. The last part was tricky but we fingered out that knights next to the kings and queens and the bishop diagonal from it.
"Now what?" My sister asked.
"We hold it up to the light" I said. So we did.
An image of a trident appeared on the paper. We dropped it. It turned into a portal.
"Where does it lead" I asked in awe.
"Only one way to find out" My sister said and she jumped it it which was stupid.
"Wait up" I yelled and jumped into the portal.
