...The Unexpected Discover...

Dylan grabbed some sands and kept looking at them for a while.

- What's wrong Dylan? Did you find something?

- Sarra, what was the color of the sands that we found inside the treasury?

- I think they were white, why are asking that?

- These sands are red!

- What's that supposed to mean?

- It means the clue that we have been looking for was right in front of our eyes.

- Are you saying that sands are the clue?

- Yes, we have been looking for something more precious which made us not notice the sand. Actually, no one will notice those sands which make them the perfect clue.

Aaron took some sands as well:

- But the sands are everywhere! Look around you.

- No, these are special. I think that they are not from this area. Look at the vivid color and the silk texture.

- Alright, if what you are saying is right and the sands were the clue, then what's there after that?

- We found until now two boxes, maybe there are more. We will search the rest of the monuments for more boxes.

- Fine, let's see where this path will take us.

Aaron, Dylan, and Sarra went back to where Laila and Annie were waiting for them.

- Did you find anything worthy up in there?

- Yes, we think so. We will continue our search but this time we will look for more boxes.

- But there was nothing inside!

- That's what we thought at first, but the boxes were filled with sands. That's what we will look for.

The group restarted their search but this time it was much easier since they have a precise thing to look for. surprisingly, they found two more boxes in different monuments and all of them contain sands in different colors, which made them more certain that they were on the right path.

They went back to their hideout at the end of the day. Dylan took out all the types of sands that they found and put them in front of everyone.

- So, we have white, red, black, and gold sands.

- Yeah, we found four colors.

- Are you sure that there are no more boxes left somewhere?

- Yes, I'm sure. We searched the city very well. There are only four boxes and they were all put in a high place.

- Now what? What should we do with these sands?

- I still don't know, Aaron, but we are getting closer, we will figure it out. Instead, there is something else that wonders me more.

- What is it?

- How could Tarou find all of these clues on his own?

- What do you mean?

- I think Tarou wasn't alone, someone was helping him to find the clues...Sarra, didn't you notice that Tarou was meeting someone?

- Sarra took a moment to recall what did happen months ago. Well, we met a lot of people during our trip, but no one accompanied us. Or that is what I thought. Now that you bring the subject, I remember hearing him talking when he entered the bathroom, the matter was repeated several times.

- Didn't you get curious to know who was he talking to?

- Yes, I did. I opened the door out of a sudden, but he was holding a book, so I was convinced that he was reading from a book out loud.

- Didn't you hear another voice except for his?

- No, nothing.

Aaron lay on the ground while stretching.

- Well, this is another secret need to be solved.

Dylan looked at Laila, who pretended not to listen to them.

- So someone was helping Tarou in finding the clues. Someone was very careful to not be found by his wife...Was it another monster?

At that moment Laila flinched, but then she tries to act normal:

- I...I think we should focus on solving these sands' mystery first.

- Yeah, you are right. We must know how are we going to use these sands.

Dylan knew that Laila was hiding something from them, but at that time, he became certain that she has something to do with the disappearance of Tarou.
