Unlocking Secrets

Back to the Tablets

After everything that had happened in the last couple of weeks, Teigra was eager to work on the translation of the third tablet with Dale. They had long since figured out the second tablet and found the third, which did take some time and the translating was even harder. Everything was in a language that neither one recognized.

"Have you figured out any part of the tablet?" Dale asked Teigra.

Dale took off his glasses feeling very frustrated. He had written down the words on the tablet for himself on a piece of paper, so that Teigra could hold the actual tablet and possibly sense something from it.

Teigra shook her head, "No. I'm not getting anything. I think it's time to consult with someone."

"Who?" Dale wondered, but before he could get a response from Teigra, Grey walked into the room.

"General McCabe and Colonel Molloy wish to see us in the briefing room. Dr. Procter has made a discovery about the Tellus Saeclum." Grey explained

Dale nodded, "Okay." He turned to Teigra, "Stay out of trouble."

"I know. I will." Teigra promised.

Teigra watched Dale and Grey walk out of the room. Once they were gone, she closed the door and then shimmered out of the room. She had to go home and find five candles. She needed to hold a seance to consult with her father. He was the one who had found the first Tellus Saeclum. She knew that he knew the language that was written on the tablet.

Teigra found the candles and then returned to Dale's lab where she summoned her father with the seance spell, but instead of her father coming it was someone else.

"Who are you?" Teigra wondered, "Where's my dad?"

"I'm his mother Lamia." The woman said, "They feel that it's too soon for you to see your father."

Teigra furrowed her eyebrows, "It's been three years."

"And you're still not over it." Lamia added, "What do you need?"

"I needed to talk to my dad about the language on this tablet." Teigra stated as she held up the tablet, "Do you happen to know what this says?"

Lamia studied the tablet and then shook her head, "No. No, I'm sorry. I don't know what language this is."

Teigra sighed, "Yeah. That's what I was afraid of. Who would know?"

"Uh..." Lamia started as she thought carefully, "There is one person, but it's too dangerous."

"Just tell me." Teigra insisted

Lamia took a breath, "Sarrin Focnor."

Teigra gulped. She had heard of Sarrin. She was the most evil demon in all of the underworld. 'What am I supposed to do now?' Teigra thought, 'Sarrin is not an option. She's too dangerous.'.

"I have to go now." Lamia uttered, "Blessed be, my sweetling."

"Bye." Teigra replied as she sighed and thought, 'Well this isn't good. I need to talk to General McCabe about this.'

    Meanwhile in the briefing room with General McCabe, Alexandra, Addison, Dale, and Grey. Alexandra was talking about the discovery that she had made about the Tellus Saeclum. About the energy reading that it was giving off and what she had discovered about it.

"Like the Pure told us, I don't think it would be wise to open the Tellus Saeclum, but it is giving off an interesting energy. Grey and I discovered..." Alexandra explained, "Well, why don't you just show them, Grey."

Grey had gloves on his hands as he held up a piece of some type of poisonous plant, "Just watch this." He rubbed the plant against the Tellus Saeclum, and then the plant was pulled into the machine like a vacuum.
