The New Mission 2

Aaron was excited to know more about the stone that Diana mentioned. Finally, there was some hope to cure his mother's illness.

- This is our chance to save Anna. We don't know if we could find another way in such a short time.

- I know that, but Aaron, we shouldn't act hasty. We don't know anything about that woman.

- What you said is true. We don't know her intentions yet, but we don't have any other choices, we will be cautious. You are strong and I became stronger too. There is nothing for you to be worried about...

Tarou sighed:

-Fine, let's hear what she's going to say. Promise me that you won't do anything without consulting me.

- Alright, I promise...

Anna was against all of that. She didn't want her children to be involved in her mess.

- I have never wished for this...please Aaron. You must get rid of that black power. I'm dying anyway...I don't want to see you suffering.

Tarou and Aaron sat beside their mother to calm her down.

- As Aaron said, we will find the cure for you then we will take that black power out of his body. Don't worry, I will make sure to do the right thing. You trust me, right?

- Yes...I do!

- Good, now I want to see you smile.

Anna hugged her two sons while holding her tears back:

- Please, be careful!

The next day, Aaron, Tarou, and Sarra headed to the town. They went directly to the library. Aaron was worried that Diana won't come.

- Do you think she will come?

- I don't know.

- What if she changed her mind?

Sarra suddenly stopped:

- LOOK, she is standing in front of the door waiting for us!

When they approached her, Aaron took a better look at her face.

" Is that her? "

She seemed different from the day before. Maybe he didn't notice her beauty because she was covered with dust, and he was too busy saving their lives.

She looked very beautiful with long silver hair and big black eyes. Her small nose red lips and ceramic-like skin made her look like a doll.

Aaron was quite surprised. He kept gazing at her for a moment until her gentle smile blew him away.

She was happy to see them again:

- You came! I thought that you refused my offer to help.

- We didn't accept anything yet...We came to know what is this stone exactly.

Replied Tarou.

- Let's get in, there is something I want to show you.

They followed Diana and entered the library. It was very big and full of books. Aaron couldn't take his eyes off Diana, but due to his brother's glares, he pretended to look around:

- Wow, do humans read all those books?

- Yeah, that's the source of their knowledge.

Diana Asked them to sit at a table, then she disappeared between the library's shelves.

After some moments she came with an old book

She put it on the table while smiling:

- This is what you need.

- What is this?

- This book contains The information you need about that stone.

She opened the book, then started turning over the page cautiously until she stopped and pointed her finger at a stone that have a combination of black and rainbow colors.

- This is the stone. It is called The magical Rainbow Obsidian. This stone allows helps to bring emotions to the surface so the sick person can acknowledge them, release them, and fill those spaces with love and light due to its magical powers. It can heal any disease.

- Where can we find such a stone? Asked Aaron

- That's the hard part, its exact location is not known, and we need to search for it.

Diana went again to search for a particular map, but she couldn't find it.

- I didn't find the map I'm looking for...

Sarra stood up:

- I will help you, let's search more.

- I will ask the librarian, maybe he knows something.

Diana called for him:

- Sir, can you help us? We are searching for something.

- Alright, I'm coming, miss...

After some minutes, he came.

What a surprise, it was Dylan again. When he saw them, he come in a hurry.

- Hey Tarou, we meet again. Then he looked at Aaron:

- Oh, Aaron! It has been such a long time. You grew up very well. You were about ten years old when I left the land.

Aaron was very surprised to see Dylan.

- DYLAN? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- We met him yesterday when we went to the town. I will tell you later what did happen.

Dylan approached Sarra:

- The beautiful sister is here too, I'm happy to see you again.

He tried to hold her hand, but Tarou got in between:

- So, you are the librarian. Why I'm not surprised.

- Yeah, books have been always my source of joy...By the way, What all of you are doing here?

- We need something. I hope you will help us find it.

- Of course, I will do anything for my best friend. So, what do you need?

- A Map.

- A Map of what?

Diana replied:

- The Map of the hollow earth.

Dylan looked very surprised:

What? Are you serious? That Map is very rare, you can never find it here or anywhere else.

- Are you sure? Is there no hope?

- Why do you need it?

Everyone kept silent. It was obvious that they didn't want to tell him.

- Come on, Tarou, I'm your best friend, we know everything about each other, just tell me maybe I can help you.

- Fine, come here.

Diana showed him the stone while Tarou told him about his mother's condition.

- So, what you're looking for is in the hollow earth?

- Yes, that's why we need a map that can lead us to it.

- I'm sorry, there is no such map in this library.

Everyone's face turned gloomy:

- So, there is no hope...

- I said there is no map but I didn't mean that there is no hope.

- What do you mean?

- I know a secret way to the hollow earth.

Aaron's face shined with hope and joy:

- ARE YOU SURE? WHERE IS IT?

Dylan put a big smile on his face:

- It is In our land "The Land Of The Monsters".
