You frowned at the wordings of the document. Plue looked up at you.
"What does it say?" Plue questioned. You glanced down at Plue and looked back at the document.
"In a world which is vast, and in a place which is dark but houses the many lights of many stars. You will find what you are looking for if you travel to a land which contains perfection. A place that of preservation." You read out loud. You then hummed in thought. "I think the lines 'in a world which is vast' to 'the many lights of many stars' are a clue to the Antiquorum's whereabouts. The rest must be a clue to the next document's location." You told. Plue jumped up onto the table and looked over the document.
"Huh, so what does this mean then?" You scratched your head as you hummed in thought.
"Hmm, um, I'm not too sure to be honest." You told yourself. You then reread the ancient text and continued to furrow your brow at what the text meant. While you and Plue were trying to figure out the text's meaning, Zack and Astro were playing a game of chess while Veronica was in the bath. Zack furrowed his brow in thought while Astro smiled innocently while swinging his legs back and fourth. Zack then glanced up at Astro and moved his queen forwards. He then sat up and gestured to the board while smiling smugly.
"Check." Astro grinned when it was finally his turn and he moved his own queen. He then moved it diagonally and took out Zack's queen. He then sat back up and smiled innocently at Zack.
"Check mate." Zack stared at the board game with wide eyes. No way, he lost!? Zack gripped his head in frustration and he sighed.
"Am I that bad at games?" Zack muttered while Astro grinned, victory written across his face. Zack then sighed and stood up. "I think I might go and get myself a warm drink. It's freezing in here. I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up encased in ice." Zack muttered as he made his way to the thermostat and turned up the heat. Astro cocked his head to the side. Since he was a robot he couldn't feel the cold. You noticed that the heat went up and looked at Zack questioningly.
"Why did you turn the heat up?" You questioned. Zack deadpanned at you and rubbed his arms together. Astro smiled and laughed.
"Well Zack would end up like a Popsicle if he stayed in the cold." Astro told. You raised an eyebrow at him.
"Popsicle?" You then hummed in thought. "Popsicle...ice...frozen...preservation..." You then gasped as realisation hit you like a brick and you ran over to Astro and gripped him by the shoulders. "That's it! That's the hidden meaning behind the clue! Astro you're a genius!" You exclaimed while smiling. Astro blinked at you. He then smiled.
"I'm happy that I could be of service to you!" You nodded and rushed over to Plue who held the document in his paws and grabbed it from him. You then paced around the lounge room while reading over it.
"You will find what you are looking for if you travel to a land which contains perfection. A place that of preservation. It's obviously talking about somewhere which has a lot of ice. But which planet? There are so many of them which have ice..." You told yourself. Plue raised his paw, gaining your attention.
"Don't forget about the perfection part. That must obviously mean something." Plue pointed out. You nodded and hummed in thought. To a land which contains perfection...what did that mean? Astro watched you as you frowned in thought. He then noticed that Zack had come back in holding a mug of hot cocoa. He then watched as Zack walked passed him and sat down on the couch. You sighed and scratched your head.
"Argh, I can't figure it out!" You cried. Zack gave you a questioning look.
"What's wrong? What can't you figure out?" Zack questioned. You handed Zack the ancient document and watched as he read over it. His face then scrunched up in confusion. "What does the land full of perfection refer to?" Zack questioned. You shrugged.
