The Yellow Crystal

Chapter 34

I stood stunned. For a moment I thought that Jaime and Dao tricked me into coming here, but the two don't have enough brain power. But I still didn't brush off the idea. "They very clearly tricked you. They threw rocks on you from that one side, which forced you to come this way. It was very well planned and carried out." said my crystal. I thought about what he said and then stood up and tried to do something that I have only done once before. Turn into my ghost form. Since it isn't required here in Ka'ar, I haven't attempted it again. Honestly, it is an easy thing to do. Just create a pulling sensation in your gut and hold it for a few seconds, and next thing to accomplish, you're a ghost. How wonderful. So I followed my own pointers and guess what, I became a ghost. This was absolutely necessary, as then I could survey the birth grounds of the Sentinel and attempt to take it down before it rises.

The crystal was uncomfortable. "You can also stop this from occurring by taking me away from here, right?" he asked. "Well yes. But aren't you tired of running? Is running for the rest of your life what you want. How long do crystals usually exist for? A few centuries right? So is that what you want to be known for? Running away from your problems? Or do you want to be known as a key member of the group who took down the sentinel? Your choice. Whatever you say next, we will do." I said, trying to lift my crystals spirits.

I could hear the kinks working out in my crystals magic brain, and then he said, "Call Orvax. Tell him to get the other two and come to this area. He knows where the rising grounds of the Sentinel are." said my crystal. I smiled and said, "thanks. It is not only you who is burdened by this. For me its my brother, and for my father his two sons. For Orvax, it means the two dimensions and their safety, and for Tiara ... I don't know." we both chuckled at this, and then I proceeded to make a mental call to Orvax, and then, without any formalities, asked him, "Do you know where the sentinel's rising grounds are?" "Well, um, yes." he answered. "Come there. Fast!" I said, emphasizing on the last word so that he knew the importance of it. 

Before he could ask questions, I cut the 'call' and started walking around the boundaries of the cave, trying to map the entire area, when I heard it. The sound of at least 1000 giants, bombarding the entrance of the cave, so everything echoed also. Dao, burnt but alive, stood at the entrance and counted and motivated the giants, while Jaime came riding in on a giants back, and jumped down and stood next to Dao. Once Dao stopped counting, he announced the number of giants. "Perfect all 4000 giants are here!"
