Episode 11

(at the cave)

"Thank God we have arrived " we managed to open the cave .of a truth we had no idea of how the cave looked like .But the cave was really big and dark. we saw bones and skeleton. we guessed must have been the bones of the ones who tried to retrieve the book . we didn't know where to start looking foe the book since it was like one opening lrd to many. we started from somewhere at last. we touched walls and floors to know whether of there were any secret doors or place that could lead us to the book.

we stayed for six days but found nothing ,at some point ,we thought.maybe that the book never existed and other things. Thank God we had some breads and cans of water with us. we arrived at the center of the cave and found some riddles and some statements. " only the strong can continue, for the task aheD might take your life, make your decision now whether to go back or continue.." we read . " place your hands on thr floor and say the words " shaham" Immediately we said the word , light shined upon us from above the cave and the whole place seemed like another world.

there was a door few steps from us, and the walls were sculptures of people and words were written under the sculptures.

we went close to the door and found out it was locked and needed a key to open.

that was another problem, where can we find this key.

( AT bordoracks palace)

" old woman where is your daughter and my son? asked the king to Lydia's grandmother.

" the two has went in search of a book that would save their love ,my lord " - Lydia grandmother said to the bordorack's king. " don't you know that the ancient book can't be found, many has tried but didn't succeed in retrieving it ,rather they never returned, those who came ,were have dead,some came back dumb so that they won't tell what they encountered ! the king said fiercely to Lydia's Grandmother.

" my king I am aware of all this ,but there love story is different. they shall succeed and this I bet with my life,for I know the grandchild I have . This is her destiny and our ancestors cannot leave her to perish on the course of fulfilling her work on earth" Lydia grandmother said confidently.

woman I don't care in whatever you are saying, but I give you five good days ,for my son to return to this palace if not you will be persecuted for luring my son into death through your grandchild....... if I knew earlier I wouldn't have contacted you grandchild for my son's treatment, the enemy is no how to be trusted..... - the king lamented. " Guards take this woman to the Palace prison ,lock her up until the Prince returns safely. Lydia's grand ma was dragged and locked up as instructed by the Bordorack's king.

( at the cave )

I and the Prince decided to look for clue in order to find the key. we read everything written on the wall but found no clue.

on the seventh day, we were exhausted and decided to rest so that we can regain our strength. while I was sleeping a had a dream, in that dream a woman came to me . she was dressed in a red gown. her hair was very long reaching to her waist level. she held me by the child and led me to a hidden place in the cave. here was one of the sculptures she touched the hands of the sculpture, closed her eyes and said the words written below the right handside of the sculpture, she kept on repeating meditation, honesty and true love . she repeated the words for three times and disappeared while she said" follow your hear...still saying the last word .I immediately woke up and noticed it was a d dream. the Prince who laid beside me ,woken up by my shout asked me what was wrong. I narrated to him what I saw in my dream and the woman's word.

we figured out that the woman might be telling us how to open the door. we did as the woman said; we went to the sculpture , touched its hand and repeated the words with a great sense of feeling. be hold ,the key was drawn at the gand of the sculptur but it can only release it to those who came with a pure heart and meditated on the words on the wall. the key fell from the hands of the sculpture to ours. we were really excited at that moment.

we went forward, towards the door and opened it. what we saw was really out of what we thought. The book was placed above above a tall tree which was covered with strong roots. on the floor was a bridgewhich was built narrowly with a rope, and down the bridge was a big river, this bridge which demarcated the tree and the entrance of the door. on the left hand side was a big sculpture of an Eagle while on the

left hand side was a big stone.

The Prince told me to stay at the entrance while he go get the book. I didn't allow him to go rather,because I didn't want to loose him. I told him let's go together but he didn't agree so we decided that no one should pass the bridge. I remembered the words of that woman in my dream, " FOLLOW YOUR HEART" I went close to the sculptured Eagle to see whether I can figure out something.

Immediately i touched the Eagle and said " please can you take us to the book we need it to secure our love " first I thought magic could happen but nothing happened. I was depressed and started crying . The Prince xame to me and started consoling me but the magic really happened. the drop of my tears touched the Eagle and it started transforming to a live Eagle.

THE Eagle 🦅 said yes my master, what do you want from me, I told him to cross us over to the tree and bring us back. your wish is my command ,hop on for I shall take you there since ,but you shall offer me one thing in return . I offered the Eagle the necklace my mother gave to me and it took us to the tree ,we quickly grabbed the book and came back to the door entrance.
