...The Key Of Life...

Dylan drew the temple and the symbols that they found according to their position.

They kept looking at it, hoping to figure out something.

- These are all the clues that we have.

- Now what? Are we hitting the wall again?

- I'm sure that these symbols were put in those places for a reason.

- In the Pyramid, we saw the first clue after splashing blood on the walls. Maybe we should do the same thing.

- I'm not sure about that. We will go back tomorrow and try it. We won't lose anything anyway.

Sarra, Laila, and Annie went to their room, while Dylan and Aaron kept searching through the clues hoping to find something.

- Dylan, I think we should sleep. It is getting late.

- I can't! I feel like I'm missing something here.

Aaron threw himself on the bed.

- I'm really tired, I used most of my power in flying to check up the top of all the columns, while you kept your feet on the ground.

Dylan stood up suddenly:

- WHAT DID YOU SAY?

- I said that I was flying the whole day, didn't you see me?

Dylan pulled out his notebook right away and checked up the symbols higher.

- How did I miss that! I was too concentrated on knowing the meaning that I forgot about that matter.

- You mean the height of the symbols?

- Exactly, let's see their heights.....They were engraved at different heights, according to their power. The most powerful one, which is Zeus, is the highest. Then next, the others who were less powerful.

- How can that help us?

- Mmmm... I will rank them...Zeus is number one, then Poseidon number two...Then Ares...

Dylan ranked the symbols from one to twelve.

Then he wrote, on the picture, beside each symbol, its number. Finally, he drew a line following the order of the numbers.

- 1..2..3 ..4...12

Surprisingly a different symbol was drawn in the middle of the temple's picture.

- What is this symbol? Is it another god?

Dylan became confused, he kept looking at the symbol without saying a word.

- What is it, Dylan? Do you know it?

- What this symbol is doing here? It doesn't suppose to show up in this place! Am I wrong? No, that's impossible. I can never be wrong about it.

- WHY? WHAT IS IT?..... ANSWER ME...

- This is "Ankh"

- what?

- The Ankh symbol, is considered the key of life 

- Why it doesn't suppose to show up?

- Because it is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol. It represents the word for "life" and, by extension, as a symbol of life itself.

- an Egyptian symbol? Are you sure?

- Yes, I will never mistake that symbol. I used it to bring Katrina back to life. It created the link between her soul and Sarra's body.

- STOP, I believe you. I don't want to hear more details about that incident. So you are saying that an Egyptian symbol was hidden inside an ancient Greek temple?

- It became clear that those strangers did that. I think I was right...They were the gods.

In the morning, Dylan told Sarra and Laila about the new symbol he discovered.

Laila was very surprised:

- THIS IS AMAZING! THIS CAN BE THE BIGGEST DISCOVERY IN THE HUMAN HISTORY!

- Not now, we must keep the matter secret until we find Tarou.

The group went back to the Parthenon. They checked the new symbol place.

- The ankh has a cross shape, but with a teardrop-shaped loop... It is too big...Aaron, try your blood.

Aaron put some of his blood on the columns, as expected nothing happened.

- The Ankh is the key of life.....water is life!

Maybe we should put some water. Nothing can symbolize life more than water.

- You are right, Laila! Try it.

Laila splashed some water, but still, nothing happened.

- We failed again!

- No, we didn't. Something else symbolize life in Egypt...The Nile.

- The Nile?

- Yes, The Ankh is also known as the key of the Nile, which is the source of life in Egypt. I think we should put water from the Nile. But how are we going to bring water from there?

Aaron stepped forward:

- Did you forget that we are monsters? I will go bring some.

Aaron disappeared right away. Then, after a short time, he appeared again while holding a bucket full of water.

- I was afraid that you will get lost.

- Well, it will be hard not to notice such a big river

Aaron splashed water on the columns and at that moment they all glowed in blue.

- IT WORKS!
