The Game's End

Chapter 4

For the past four years we've practically been running in circles trying to find the Rebel Underground. We asked around for information to their whereabouts, but it didn't help. Although one very nice old lady gave us an eery riddle when we asked her a week ago. To find the light you must look to the center. Do not forget the reason behind the journey for there is no end, for forgetting the past is to suffer in the future. Keep your friends close, and your family closer than your enemies. Good luck in your travels and may the Eye of Xhòn keep you safe.

We've been pondering the meaning of her words for hours on end and still haven't come up with anything. Currently we were in a small cottage, who the owners are and where they might be not important to us. Just so long as we had a roof over our heads and were together we were happy. Kat was sprawled out on the bed and Shawn was on the couch curled up like a cat, twitching every now and then. They were lucky that they could sleep so peacefully at night, whereas I on the other hand was a worry wart and couldn't sleep a wink. But was instead thinking over the old lady's cryptic words. To find the light you must look to the center, well that could mean a lot of things. Thinking about my particular predicament I thought back to the long days back at the hell hole, constantly being tested like a lab experiment. What could that mean, what could that mean? I pulled my hair out of its ponytail and started fiddling with it, an annoying habit I do when I'm thinking. Hmmm, maybe it means look to the heart to see the real meaning? Maybe, maybe not, it sounded to good to be true, but I'm going to stick with it. Okay one part done five more to go. I won't bores you with the details of how I thought for three more hours over the rest of it but I'll give you what I've come up with. Look deeper into the surface to find what you're looking for, there is a reason for everything but not always will it be found immediately, if you hide from the past it is going to bite you in the butt later, know who to trust, but I still can't figure out what the Eye of Xhòn is. I'll run it past The Trio in the morning but for now I'm just going to so if I can catch some shut eye.
