THE PRINCE CRACKS THE PUZZLE
633 Words
Never before seen such a thing, the prince was filled with awe. " Why is your ring glowin' like that? Its beautiful but what does it mean?". Grendale earnestly thought for a while....... and then replied," I don't know for sure but one thing is certain that, this must definitely be a clue to something. The last time something like this happened it was when i was face-to-face with the dark minion for the first time". Goltimer was still moving around the place and searching for clues, when it's eyes fell on a strange symbolic writings on a far wall. Coming near to it and observing, it called the others," Hey people, this may not be much but i think we might have a clue here ". " This looks like an ancient language of kings", said Grendale examining the writings. " You will be able to decipher it, right?" doubtfully asked the golem. "I am afraid not. I have never seen nor read about this anywhere. This is as new to me as it is to you, " Grendale admitted sadly.
All were silent for a few moments, until suddenly the prince started jumping up and down with exhilaration shouting, " Oh My God! I got it, i got". Looking at their startled faces the prince slowed down to explain. " Guys, this is actually is th' long lost ancient elvish language. Aha ha ha! I can't believe i had forgotten that." When he saw both Grendale and Goltimer sharing blank looks he burst out laughing. " Let me explain. Ye' see, whenever i got free time between classes or after classes, father always used to take me to our grand library to show me all th' works and collections that my ancestors had handed down from generation-to-generation. There one day i found this diary with similarly strange letters like this wall here. When i asked my father about it he told me that it was the diary of my great-grandfather who loved travellin' and learnin' new stuff. Father even taught me how to read and decipher symbols like this."
The fallen face of both the hero and the golem lit up once again. Feeling excited and hopeful Grendale asked if he could decipher code for which the prince eagerly nodded but added all the same that he'll be needing a little time as the symbols look a little complicated. Happy on landing upon a clue Grendale and Goltimer left the prince to do his thing and went around looking for more of such clues. After some fruitless searching by the time they went back to the prince, the symbols were deciphered and ready. They were greeted by the happy squeaks from the prince who was besides himself with joy in the excitement of solving a complicated clue. He turned to the two full of smiles and with great happiness said, " Th' symbols have been deciphered successfully. This is what it reads:-
" FEEL THE MAGIC INSIDE YOU,
BECOME A STRIKING BEACON,
FIRE THE STONE OF BLUE,
HIT IT ON THE DEMON."
Grendale blinked a few times unable to understand anything. " Umm..(gulp) are you sure that's the same sentence you got from the symbols, your highness?" carefully asked Grendale. " I am absolutely positive. Possibly it must be linked to somethin'." Right at that time the prince's bulb lit up. " Ooh.. hey do think that these sentences are related to that glow of your ring or somethin'? I mean look at it this way , you touched that crystal and your ring stone glowed right? maybe this has to do something with that."
What could this sentence mean? What sort of a new puzzle will the trio face now?
