Minecraft- the Legacy of the Caster's Gauntlet [Book 3]

Chapter Three- Forbidden Archives

 Steve, Alex, Oxin, and Hazel ventured through the strange old library. "Is there an exit or a way out?" asked Steve. "I got no idea how to get out, but there has to be some clues, right? Because why would there be a library under a small village? Is there a reason for this?" asked Hazel as she flashed the light from her gauntlet onto some bookshelves. She spotted some strange carvings on the wall of the library. "Guys? What's this?" asked Hazel. "Only if Leo were here, I bet he could've cracked this code," replied Steve. "Hey, I kind of recognize these runes! I think it is the galactic alphabet!" replied Alex," but I still don't understand the language." "Maybe one of these books can show us how to read this," replied Oxin as he started looking around. Oxin went up to a bookshelf and saw a strange book that was sticking out of the shelf. "Guys, this book has a square on it. Is there like a symbol or another place that has the same symbol?" asked Oxin. Steve looked around and found a different symbol on the wall. I found a symbol, but it is a circle, not a square," replied Steve. "Wait so there are more books with different symbols?" asked Hazel. "Yeah, I guess so. Whoever built this library must made it confusing to unlock a secret or something," replied Steve.

 Alex found a book with a triangle on it. "Triangle? We are finding random things! None of these matches up" replied Alex. "Guys, I found the square symbol! It was hidden under the pile of books. Oxin, can you place the book onto the symbol?" asked Hazel. He placed it into the square, and it perfectly fits. Suddenly, a part of the wall started opening up revealing a strange staircase leading down. "Should we investigate?" asked Steve. "Yes! There might be a way out," replied Alex. They walked down the staircase, but suddenly, the door shut behind them. Steve tried to open it, but it was locked. "We are trapped," explained Steve. They continued down the halls, and they spotted three Ghouls charging towards them. "Watch out!" shouted Hazel as she used the light of her gauntlet to melt the Ghouls. They all disappeared, and they kept going. They found a circle. "This is the circle that needs to fit into the carving!" exclaimed Oxin. Once he picked it up, he heard something rushing behind the walls. "Uh, we better RUN!" shouted Oxin. Water burst out of the fragile walls and started to flood in the halls. They reached to the closed door. "Oh no! I forgot the door is locked!" shouted Alex. "Is the water rising?" asked Hazel as she began to rise up. "Yes. We have to find a switch, pressure plate or button fast!" shouted Steve as they barely had any breathing space left.

 Steve swam down into the water that continued to rise. He looked around frantically, looking for a possible wall to open the door. Then he turned to the spot where they found the circle. He swam back up to tell the others. "We need something heavy to lay on the pressure plate!" shouted Steve. Hazel looked at her gauntlet. She knew that she had to lay the gauntlet onto the pressure plate because it was the only object that can weigh the plate down for a long time. She swam towards the pressure plate and dropped it onto it. The door slowly opened, and they splashed out of the dangerous room. "Phew. That was very close. Let's place the circle onto its rightful place," replied Oxin. Another door opened on the other side of the library. The triangle carving was inside of the room. "This is where we put the book with the triangle symbol into the slot!" exclaimed Alex. They went back into the library to get the book. "This could be another trap, so be careful," replied Steve. Alex placed the book into the slot and quickly ran towards them. Suddenly, the ceiling began to crumble! They dashed out of the room quickly. "That was all the puzzles, so where is the exit?" asked Oxin. Suddenly the wall lit up showing a big map, and four strange items next to it in a picture, Then, the floor dropped, and a lectern appeared in the middle of the stage with a mysterious book on it.

 Steve turned the first page and read, "Long ago, an all-powerful being and his brother was to might wizards that had magical abilities gifted by their Gaunlet Guardians. years later, Goliath, the young wizard was corrupted by the power of dark magic and wanting the Caster's gauntlet for himself. he searched far and wide for each gem, The gem of Calmingness, The Gem of  Fury, The Gem of Darkness, and The Gem of Light. These can activate the Casteer's gauntlet. But little did Goliath know, his evil was no match for a single touch of the Casters gauntlet. Once he touched it, darkness and light engulfed around him, melting him and drowning him. If he were to be touched by it two more times, he would be destroyed, but he also twists the powers for evil to weld it too. Only the one with kindness, courage, bravery, and the pure mind heart and soul can weld the Caster's gauntlet. To find calm, one must not count each grain of sand of the desert but see through the pain. Looking straight forward is always the answer. This is where your journey will begin.". "Wow. We should bring this book with us so we can search for the Gems and craft the Caster's gauntlet. But we have to get out of this world that Goliath put us in," replied Steve.

 Suddenly, Goliath appeared in the library! "We got to hide!" shouted Steve. The climbed on of the ladders leading up to a bookshelf. "I know you are here. Reveal yourselves!" shouted Goliath. They didn't answer. "Well then, if you don't reveal yourselves, I will politely remove the knowledge of this once peaceful realm!" He threw a fireball at one of themselves, and the library started burning down quickly. "We got to get of this self and escape the library!" shouted Steve. The fire spread towards the ladder and burnt it.  Steve jumped off the self and he grabbed a vine and swung towards the others he grabbed three differents vines while he swung towards them. "Grab on!" shouted Steve. The wood underneath them started burning into ashes as they jumped. "If we fall, we would fall into the flames! What do we do?" asked Hazel. "Swing towards the water room door, and open it, it will wash out the fire!" shouted Oxin. Steve ran towards the water room. He opened the door to let the water flow in, and it started to rise inside the library. "I see YOU!" shouted Goliath. The fire burnt down supports of the library's walls and roofs, and then it started crumbling down almost crushing Steve in an instant. "Quick! Go next to the whole we came in from! The water will rise and shoot us out!" shouted Steve. The fire blocked Alex's ways of escaping the library. "Help!" she shouted. Steve grabbed her and pushed her into the water, but Steve accidentally let go of the book. He dived back into the water and grabbed the book. The water had already flooded the entire library, and they shot out onto the dry sand.
