D...d...d...don't leave me. NOOOOOOOO!

          The Elders in our village like to stick to the ways of the older generations; always telling us of the many prophecies written in the ancient dialect of our ancestors. There was one prophecy that caught my attention, in connection with some antediluvian ruins entombed beneath the crust of the Earth; those are only a few words of the riddle that i understand thoroughly.

          Those strongly pronounced words echoed through my head day and night-as I studied the prophecy ceaselessly. I always asked the Elders if they would give me a few more clues, however the reply was always the same; no matter what questions were asked i kept getting the same answer-as if it had been rehearsed and retold many times before. It infuriated me ever so much knowing i was on the brink of the answer yet still so far away. It just wasn't clear!
