** An Ancient Scroll Part 5**

Journal Entry 5:

As I swam out from the brook I was still stunned by the talking trout. “Didn’t realize they could do that, but I guess anything is possible.” I said to myself. Theabelle and Red Raider stood there looking at me, watching me as I spoke out loudly to myself. “How did you both know about the talking trout?” “The rainbow trout has been here for years, everyone knows about Xae’tut.” Red smiled. “It has a name? Hmm…well I got my next clue. I think I have an idea where this is.” I said loudly to them. “You need help?” Theabelle said as she held on to Red tightly, seemed that the horse was getting restless, moving from side to side. “I sure can! I have to go to the light house near Qeynos.” “Well let’s get going!” Red said as he began to gallop away. I ran behind them once again out dodging any dark paws. We passed the merchant, the farming fields and finally got to the coast. I was so out of breath my lungs felt like they would explode.

There she was the beautiful white light house, “The beacon,” She was made out of marble, standing there erect for all to see. She was the first thing I saw as a refugee to these shores, I remember feeling the beams from the light house absorb into me, as if hope was returning back. It was a comforting feeling to be aware of, I’ve drawn numerous etchings of the lighthouse, almost knowing it in detail. “Here we are” Theabelle said. I smiled, “Sure thing; just need to make camp, I’m a little famished and it’s starting to get dark.” “Sure thing we’ll start a camp fire at the coast, there our friends are suppose to meet us.” “Sounds like a great plan!” With that I smiled and we set up camp next to the light house. What was nice it wasn’t windy at all, it was a calm evening with pearls in the sky twinkling down at us. Theabelle pulled out a large kettle that went on the fire, she started adding all these wonderful ingredients. “Wow that smells wonderful Thea.” With each sniff my senses were dancing and my stomach was just singing out, what ever she was making just made my mouth water. As I began to eat the food she had given me I felt rejuvenated, I notice I was making yummy noises as I ate her delicious cooking.

As I stretched out I thanked Theabelle for her delicious food, she smiled; “no problem.” I started to walk to the tower which was behind us. I climbed up the stairs to the top to find the Taskmaster, and there she was. Standing there mumbling to herself. “I can’t believe how messy all these work orders are. Now I have to organize it all over again.” She definitely wasn’t happy about this fact. I cleared my throat, “Excuse me, Excuse me!” I said a bit louder. She continued rummaging thru all the papers, “yes, yes…speak…I can listen…see I’m busy!” She said frantically. How do you tell someone that you were sent here by a trout? I was trying to find the words. “Well you’re wasting my time…quickly speak or leave me alone.” “ok..ok…a trout sent me here to ask you about something…Once again I recited what it said to me,

“Beacon of light will guide your way,
Top the spiral stairs will be your next clue
Seek the task master; she will lead u to one

The One becomes the many,
Into the Dark Caverns the
Venture will continue.”


I stood there, feeling really stupid. She stopped what she was doing and handed me a scroll. “Here, seek out the Royal Guard and they can help you on this mission. They are an excellent group, speak to Xajin, ok?” She turned and continued to her mumbling. “Oh…oh…ok.” I said not knowing how to react to this. “By the way the trout works for me, just so you don’t think you’re going crazy.” With that I left. I returned to Theabelle and RedRaider The Great, “So dear what she say?” Thea said as she handed Red another plate of her food. “Well I have to search out the Royal Guard, and speak to a Xajin.” “That would be me, a voice came out from behind me.” Startled I turned around bearing my weapon. “Well hello there Mi’ Lady, he said to Theabelle, Hi Red my friend.” He walked up to Theabelle and gave her a hug, and than hugged Red. They seemed to know each other very well as if they were family.

“Hi” I said. “Well hello, so you need to talk to me?” “Yes, I was told by the Merchant in the Lighthouse tower to seek you and the Royal Guard.” He was an interesting man, another barbarian with tribal tattoos all over him. From what I could tell they were shaman markings. I explained my journey to him and how I met up with Theabelle and Red. “Wow you’ve done a lot today. Well the Royal Guard is at your service.” With that Theabelle and Red added, “Yes we are!” and she smiled. “What does the scroll say the one she gave you?” Xajin inquired. “Oh I forgot!” I quickly unraveled the scroll and it was a map pointing us to the FireMyst. “Oh my goodness; we have to go into firemyst!?”

Don’t worry we can get all the Royal Guards together and we can accomplish this task, we have to get everyone together and make this a raid. We will get what you need from there. With our help it will be no problem.” With that I smiled, what an adventure this has turned out to be, I thought. “Well we have a long day tomorrow let’s rest up.” Red said.

And the ADVENTURE CONTINUES into FireMyst the Royal Guard will venture.
