Chapter 6: Finally, The Castle of Rhea!
1052 Words
Running down the Bumpy Rubbles is definitely fun. Because it gives me more speed. Every time I spotted a Rubble, I always time it perfectly to make it as an extra platform to boost on...
And after I arrive down the rubbles... I crouched down and it kills my speed perfectly. I stand up and then grab my Flashbang, Sound Bomb, and a new Blue Bomb, A Fire Grenade...
Now, Fire Grenade is pretty dangerous... Because it summons blue flame upon activation... But it's only for small duration of time. I use this to make a campfire in an instant...
And of course~ I can also make a quick wall between me and something on the ground... I have one last Grenade colored Green... And that is an Actual Explosive... But I can't use it in here. I can only use it later in the mainland. Because this has the purpose to kill enemy... It's a one time use as well... So I have a lot of stock of Explosive...
Anyway! Walk into the Castle... It's dark, as expected... I'm in a dark corridor... There's a lot of room that is open... But there's really nothing inside... I guess, this is just the normal and useless room... The main thing is probably upstairs then...
I quickly make my way upstairs to search for something... And eventually... In the Throne Room... I found something... After searching through the entire castle and find nothing... I finally find something...
But that something is really suspicious though... A Black Monolith in the middle of the room... It's dusty, and on top of the Monolith, is a Red Orb rotating around in the Monolith...
"... That's the Stone of Life huh..."
I hit the jackpot... The Stone of Life. Something that has been keeping this Rhea Island approachable...
"Let's go and check it out..."
I muttered to myself... I'm a bit wary about this Monolith... But My instinct doesn't tell me that I should run away... So, I approach the Monolith...
I tap the Monolith. But nothing happened.... I look around the Monolith and see no clue whatsoever...
I look at the Rotating Stone of Life and wonders... I take off my Left glove and then take off my Bandage...
The blood that are stop flowing, started flowing out again... And then, I put my Blood into the Stone of Life...
"Oh???!!!"
I get excited. Because the Stone of Life rotate faster... And eventually, the Monolith opened up! And then, a Screen appear. A Black Screen...
'... DNA aren't registered...'
'Do you want to Register this DNA into the Monolith???"
The monolith screen started to give me message... I put my Bandage back on and put my glove back on... I immediately press the 'Yes' button on the screen and then the Monolith receive the information.
'... Registration completed. Do you want to rewrite the Stone of Life Effect?'
I pick the 'No' button. The Stone of Life is already perfect as it is... So I don't want to mess it up. And a new message appear in front of me...
'... Acknowledge. Do you want to take 'Rhea Absolut' with you?'
... I was silenced for a moment... Rhea Absolut? What is that? In the catalogue of Ancient Legacy... I've never seen anything that says anything about Rhea Absolut... So it piqued my interest. A lot!
"Rhea Absolut? Let's see..."
I just picked 'Yes' without any hesitation. And the Information was sent to the Monolith... And then... The Stone of Life stop rotating... And it stop giving power to the Monolith...
The stone of life was ejected out of it sockets and then head straight toward my hand... I quickly grab the Stone of Life. And then wonders... What's going to happen...
But fortunately... Nothing is happening to the island... I'm worried that the Castle or the Island would be destroyed... And I don't want anything like that to happen...
Strangely, I don't feel the barrier around the Center of the Island disappear... Meaning that, there's probably a separate barrier stone in the center of the city...
And that's... Really nice to know... Because I don't want the Animals in this island to die being attacked by the beast outside.
I put the Stone of Life into my pocket and immediately make my way out of the Castle... There's nothing more that I can do in this Castle...
After coming out of the castle... I quickly look at my map and cross out the Castle... As the sign of me finished searching for anything in the castle...
Now... I'm started thinking about the next possibility that I can do in Rhea... Do I want to explore other parts of the city? Probably not.
The castle itself is empty. What can I found other than nothing in the other part of the city? Probably nothing at all...
Now... The sun is going down fast as I'm standing over the rubbles... I don't really know what to do... I can't really check the Stone of Life right now... I don't want to destroy anything still...
Hmmm... What should I do? I obviously need to make my way back into the Shore and started to make my way back to the main land... But I don't want to make my way back there...
It took probably 30 days. And also, 3 days of preparing the boat... Aaaah... Even though I want to go back to society... I too, don't want to go back to Society...
I just want to rest for a bit... And if I make out of Rhea alive... People will only ask me a lot of question... And I don't want that...
I think some more while laying down on the rubbles... The top is pretty flat, so it's fine for me...
I heat myself up once again and continue thinking... What do I think about? I don't know...
... I can't seem to remember about what I think about... It's the usual whatever comes up, that's what I think about. And it won't give me any memory of it...
I fell asleep on the rubbles... Waiting for the Morning to come...
I've made my decision... I will make my way straight to the shore early in the morning and find out what Rhea Absolut are...
