Chapter 20 The Shores of Bykar

The Six traveled down a cobblestone path for a few hours until it was almost noon when they reached a large sandy beach that had a large dock. " this must be the Shores of Bykar." Ralingar said as they walked towards the dock Victor stopped and saw that in the middle of the ocean was a thousand islands of all shapes and sizes. In the center was the largest island that had a large clear dome over all of the islands . " am I the only one that sees that is contained in a clear dome?" there were a few seconds of silence Adam was the first to speak up. " Victor I see it as well." The rest of the all said they saw the dome as well and agreed that it was not normal. They reached the dock and saw an older man sitting in a rocking chair next to some boats Ralingar and the Six walked over to the man and saw that he was very old and wrinkled he wore a dark hood and a long black cloak as he spoke he coughed and wheezed . Adam asked the old man " Sir what is that strange thing that is surrounding the Kingdom of One Thousand Islands it does not look natural." The man laughed and said as he coughed and then leaned in close and said: " you are right it is not natural." He paused and said, "are you the ones that everyone calls the Ones of Legend." The man pointed a long boney finger at Adam and said: " is he the Warrior of Light?" Adam replied, " yes I am the Warrior of Light." The man burst into tears and cried out " Thank the Gods I have been freed from the curse that was put upon me!" the man looked at the Six and said, " many thousands of years ago I was told by a Seer that I would be told a dark and evil secret and that I was not to die until the destined Six of Legend and the Warrior of Light came to me and I told them my dark and evil secret for this will help the Six of Legend and the Warrior of Light in there Epic Quest." The man then remembered that they did not know his name" I am sorry for not properly introducing myself. I am Dax the Wise." Ralingar and The Six bowed to Dax. " please Dax tell us this dark and evil secret that has kept you alive for so long." Ralingar said as he and the Six sat around Dax. Dax the Wise breathed and started his tale of his dark and evil secret.
