T.E.L.O.W. - The Elemental Land Of Wonders

Chapter 13 | The Ancient Golem

So, I did as Boabe said and went to the temple where Aeko, a golem, is at. What strange world is this? I thought to myself as I was strolling threw the rainforest. I have already seen a titanoboa so whats next a dragon? I gaze at my watch to check the time and it was 1:49p.m. Then, getting exhausted from the humid air, I finally make it back to the temple alive. Instead of messing up on my awareness, I watch my step walking across the bridge and over the trip wire and reached the temples entrance. The entrance was dark, but I appearently had a flashlight in my backpack so I took it out. Soon, I was walking in a dark ancient hallway filled with a lot, oh and I mean a lot of traps. There was saw traps, boulder traps, spike traps, avalanche traps, pendilin traps, and worst of all fall-to- your-doom traps. Though in some intelligent and powerful way, I got past all of them with small cuts, bruises, and rashes. Then, finally the struggle came to an end as I made it to a large open area that was filled with golem statues. At the end was a golem sitting on a throne that matched the colors of the temple itself. Its eyes glowed a dark yellowy color and it had a crown that yet again, was the color of the temple, but the crown was wrapped with vines and it had a more gold tone to it. There were also huge torches on both sides of the walls, but there were not lit so it was pitch black. Then I called, "Aeko? The golem?" Complete silents rang through as my voice echoed around the corridor. Soon the statues came to life as their eyes glowed an aura of orange-yellow color just like the one on the throne. Blocking the exit, the statues pointed there spears towards me very fiercely. I turned around to see the golem starring down at me as I was breathing heavily. "Are you Aeko?" I pondered. "Kokona." He mumbled in an old ancient tone of voice. "Uh, what?" I questioned. "Kokona!" He said as the statues went back to there places. "Oh gosh! Im sorry, but I really dont understand your language! Do you know english!?" I pleaded. "Ah, sorry I haven't spoken a word of your language in thousands of years!" He coughed. "You are a human, the chosen one!" He explained. "Thats what you guys say, I believe you are Aeko the golem right? Boabe sent me here so you can tell me more about me being choosen." I said firmly. "Oh yes, I will tell you everything you need to know, but first may I see the map in your backpack?" He said slowly holding out his giant hand. I did as he said, took out the map and handed it to him. The map was nothing compared his giant, it was as tiny as a paperclip to him. He opened it carefully and crushed it with his hands, surely it has to be ruined now. Powder that seemed like the remains of the map poofed out bewteen his hands. He gave it back to me by dropping it on the floor and it looked still intacted. Quickly, I picked it up and saw no scratches, no rickles, and no damages what so ever. All that was different was the words and signs where put in their places. Also the name of the map revealed itself, it said The Elemental Land Of Wonders, Elementia. Each colored piece was named with signs saying, Earth, Ice, Wind, Water, Rock, Fire, Darkness, and Light. "Ohhhhh no no no no no no no! I am not the right person for this job! So you can pick a different person and teleport me back! Im out!" I complained and crossed my arms. "You can't just abandon the mission now! The gods chose you! Lamash theena condra!" He spoke again in a different language. "You mean to tell me I got sent here by the gods to deal with the elements?! Fire!? Darkness!? I'm not dealing with that bullshit!" I yelled again. "You can't chose, you have to obey the gods, I'm sorry, but there is no other way, it's the only way if you really want to leave!" He explained. "Fine, what do I have to do then?" I hesitated. "Ok there are eight elements seen on your map, we are in the element of earth that is why we are in a rainforest. Each element has its own biome, earth is a rainforest, Ice is a snow biome, and wind, well you will find out soon." He said pointing at the map. "Ohh! So then what is the problem?" I understood. "The problem is that the statues have lost its power and when that happens the elements corrupt over each other, like for example Ice is corrupting the forest with snow." He said getting to the point. "So are all the elements corrputed?" I asked. "Yes all the elements corrupt at the same time, the only way to restore the corruption is to collect all of the crystal shards and connect them into the statues." He finished. "That's all I have to do? Find the missing crystal shards and put them back into the statues? Nothing else? Sounds easy." I said. "The land mass of the map is not as it seems, this is a world so the land will be longer than you think, and you have a tough journey ahead of you." He pronounced. "Well it says in the map The Elemental LAND Of Wonders and is there something else I should know about throughout my tough journey?" I said being smart. "Nothing in Elementia is as you see, everything is different and you are expecting creatures, kings, and dragons." He strongly explained. "Well where do I go now?" I questioned. "The element of Ice, when you get there go see Iclo the king of Ice, he will tell you what to do next, also you might find an old friend of mine on the way there." He said. "Ok bye Aeko!" I said turning to leave. "Wait! What every you do, do not listen to..." He paused. "Listen to who?" I asked. "A person that has to do with the element of darkness." He whispered. "Ok? Well bye, I'll come back soon! See'ya!" I said as the golems moved out of the way.
