CHAPTER 5 "DISCUSSION"
The codes uses and meanings they vary since they can be a combination of unique symbols for each person, can have a certain different value such as codes created only for a specific use such as Morse code; Now the one presented to Mia has certain curiosities since when reviewing the books he discovered that in a dim way the numbers of certain pages are marked although Tom Sawyer's book confuses her due to pages 37 and 40, page 40 as opposed to 37 He has a small drawing with the marker a crescent over the number should not be strange another alchemical symbol "The Moon", Dio used to tell him that the symbols of The Sun and The Moon represent life and death inversely.
The Sun is death.
The Moon is life.
For Dio the sun means death since life can also mark an end and the Moon is life contradicting the previous meaning, Mia sighed her father had endings that sometimes confuse her, even to him it used to happen even though he did not admit it, he corrected himself only in many times, even on several occasions Mía told her why give that meaning if she confused him but Dio told her that age began to affect, Mia smiled her father was really beginning to age at that time he had his own ideas without showing negative as a whole old man.
The young woman continued to review the books, noting the pages highlighted in numbering. Treasure Island had underlined page 22, a small annex with the 0 waxed in a small moon; Mia frowned is the first time she has seen this annex in the book in fact she wondered if this is really the original book she bought. book in use should be worn but this book must be new, shook his head will review later now must continue with research.
In the mountains of madness page 40 is marked and the final sentence of the page the letter N is highlighted just nth of the number 40 apparently Dio had fun not only with the numbers, the last book by Robinson Crusoe had page 3 marked and the ending 09 on page 109 underlined.
The young Sherley finished writing down the numbers, those were all the numbers, there were no more alchemical symbols from the reference books that correspond to planets that Dio described, if you put the underlined numbers together are 374022040N309 that was the entire final formation, Mia observed them in detail there was something that it did not fit his eyes, the N makes him uncomfortable despite the fact that chemistry derives from alchemy, it is not normal to have numbers and letters next to it unless it is an element but he doubts that it is referring to the periodic table then because the letter together with the numbers, you decided to go back through the books maybe you will discover something you missed.
The number 40 in Tom Sawyer and the 0 in Treasure Island are marked with opposite symbols, the 40 with a moon drawn The Moon and The Sun at 0 means life and death, beginning and end as she previously recalled.
Mia frowned, maybe it starts with 40 and ends in 09, humming taking a hand to her mentó is very suspicious if they have a beginning and an end that means that the numbers had an arrangement to read the ravenette took out the blue card again took it in your pocket for any questions you may present now seems the time to read it again.
The Code: always remember to follow the correct order one always goes first.
Mia sigh leaning her back on the back of the chair her eyes darkened at the words read, the numbers must be in order one that had discovered from the beginning wished he could hit himself hard if you look at everything in detail the code is very obvious when arranging the numbers by planetary order it can be read as:
403740N309220
They are a coordinate, as simple as that she must have noticed when she discovered the highlighted pages she massaged her tired hundred now is not the time to get angry with herself for her lack of observation she had to check the coordinate on the Internet to find out the place but when she put her hands in her pockets he realized the lack.
I sweat cold- My phone-
She is not one of the people who cannot live without the device, although she had her dramatic time where she really said that without the cell phone she would die but she grew a little and put aside that adolescent thought, Mia still usually carries the object for any emergency or boredom and now that you need it most I forget where? He tries to remember he came to the study but what else did he do before he came, humming he left his room he sneaked into the kitchen to drink water avoiding his uncles then he went to the bathroom and went to the study now he wonders where he left the phone at I don't think so the bathroom is not that type of person who plays or reads when he relieves himself so the kitchen or his room are the best possibilities if he is in the kitchen he could leave it on the table or next to the jugs of water and if he is in your room you should be charging yourself on the desk.
"I have to go out and look for it," she whispered to herself, why did her father hate computers? That could save you a lot of work and save you the hassle of being able to run into one of her uncles in the kitchen. She began to collect the books and the notes with the code, she does not believe that her family can understand it but if they discover it, she prefers to avoid any problems with them, she folded the paper hiding it in her pants pocket and put the books in the drawer She couldn't leave them on the desk her grandmother could enter and discover them something she prefers to avoid is not that she mistrusts her grandmother but there are still situations that need to be resolved, a sound startled Mia she quickly threw things into the first drawer who entered the room is forbidden to everyone except her and her grandmother.
-Wow surprise girl - Ariana showed herself in the small hallway of the entrance
Mia frowned - those are my words, what a surprise to see you here Ariana-
-Why is it my parents' house? - Ariana raised her eyebrow her angry voice as usual in the eyes of the woman to enter this room is her right at last she could see the forbidden room her father was always suspicious of his private room but now he was no longer so why Right, she and any of her brothers could enter but Ariana clicked her tongue when she saw Mia inside the room, the brat who always had access to the place and also that she questioned her presence just because Dio allowed her entry for many years. believes the brat only continues to live in this house at the whim of her mother María for the brown woman it is an insult that Mia speaks as if she had some power in the house and in Dio's possessions.
-I know now it is the grandmother's house but this place always belonged to grandfather and as long as Maria does not give permission to enter it will continue to be like that- Mia said with a scathing voice, it was not her intention to sound so aggressive but in those moments the last thing she wanted is deal with your family.
-Permission right then girl I want to tell you but the old man died so your only permission expired - the woman scoffed Dio is no longer there to defend her.
She snorted - true he died and nothing can return him - his gaze was saddened, he does not need to remember that Dio died, she knows it, she has known it for days, she has known it since the day of the testament, she knows it since his coffin descended to earth, it She knows since she went to the hospital and did not return, the death of her father will continue to be present in Mia with all the happy memories they shared and the deep sadness of having lost him will stay with her until she can move forward completely.
The ravenette looked askance at the sheet with the annotations she could still keep a new memory with Dio but for this she had to solve the puzzle completely without interruptions, Ariana noticed Mia's gesture towards the sheet on the desk the girl seemed thoughtful about the object He got closer trying to see the notes on the paper, the ravenette heard when the woman walked further into the room quickly took the sheet and put it in her pants.
Ariana clicked the tongue that her niece hides, inclined her head trying to remember something important for the girl in front of her but she cannot remember anything good, her lack of interest in the ravenette also influenced, Ariana meditated for a moment thinking more that lack of interest was anger repressed perhaps since her niece's brat was always her father's favorite in every meeting there was Mia, in every private talk, on every birthday of any of them, Ariana ended up hating Mia, I sigh to relax thinking more calmly and in detail Mia was alone in the study apparently investigating something important to hide the note ... Her brain clicked on the letters that the notary gave Mia explaining her heritage.
Ariana smiled she needs to know what those letters contained
-Then my little sister could you show your older sister that you have hidden there-
-I'm surprised since when, I'm your little sister I thought she was just a brat who talks too much-Mia answered with mockery she will not fall into such a predictable game especially with an individual who always treated her with disdain.
Ariana's mouth twisted-Remember sister that minors must obey elders-she tried to make her tone come out calm and not threatening but the words came out with a growl
-I'm sorry Sister Ariana but this is personal - Mia spoke with a sweet voice full of sarcasm
The smile on the older girl's face fell
- that you are so envious as not to show your heritage, girl-
The ravenette was not expecting that comment but she smiled a little at her aunt's response.
Ariana noticed the surprise in Mia and her smile so similar to Dio that bothered her more.
-Did you think I don't have a brainy brain! -Ariana spat out her voice lost all tranquility-father was very clever that maybe you don't know that intelligence is inherited-
The young woman walked towards the brown woman when she approached to read the note on her desk, she walked away from the door so she took a sheet of paper from her pocket and squeezed it generating a paper sphere.
Mia hummed - true intelligence can be inherited not in all cases but I do not deny that you are smart-
Ariana noticed how the amber-eyed girl approached the door
-Where are you going? -
-Although like our father I would have loved for them to use that intelligence so as not to ruin their lives alone- Mia proceeded to throw the paper sphere into the brown eyes of her aunt, distracting her long enough to go out the door and close it.
"Damn Brat!" He heard his aunt scream before walking away to the kitchen and if she heard it the others must have heard it too.
Mia cursed in a low voice she has to search the kitchen quickly before one of her uncles come in to question her as well as Ariana or worse, they go after the woman and begin to search the study, the ravenette walked slowly in the entrance of the room. The kitchen sighed with relief when he discovered that it was empty, he looked at the bar in the middle with the jugs of water positioned below it, he clicked his tongue, he did not see his phone on the counter or next to the stove.
"I really left it in my room," I whisper into the air, the object is not there so it would be best to stop wasting time and return to her room.
Mia turned to leave the kitchen when the other door on the other side of the room opened, something that characterizes the kitchen and the living room is its two doors that connect with each other, the kitchen connects with the living room and the patio while the living room connects with the kitchen, the street and two other rooms; Margot came out of the door with a serious face.
-Girl, where is Ariana? -
Mia smiled innocently
-I do not know -
Margot hummed -I am surprised because I scream quite loud you did not hear her -
"I heard her but I thought she was with you," Mia replied, her smile did not leave her face, she was smiling to hide her intentions, she could not let them discover what she was hiding until she reached her room.
-Well niece wants to tell you that your aunt went for a walk around the house so I'm surprised you didn't see her- Margot began to walk slowly towards the young woman.
-The house is very big- Mia inclined her head in confusion she should get out of there soon
Margot smiled
- yes I know it's a giant house but you didn't even see Mark- sarcasm leaked into her voice
-Mark? -
-You uncle remember it or have you lost too much in sadness - the woman saw how Mia's face twisted at the last part of the comment
-Mark also went to tour the house-
Mia trembled if her brother is also around the house hoping that he does not meet Ariana and tell her what happened in the room.
"I really didn't see it," I sigh nervously - and if you'll excuse me I'm going to go back to my room to sink in sadness - the ravenette turned around ready to leave the kitchen.
Annoyed Margot is willing to stop the young woman but Daniel and Marleen entered through the door connected to the living room, noticing Mia leaving the kitchen.
-sister what are you doing? - Daniel looked at Margot's angry face, sigh - are you bothering Mia again? -
Marleen watched her only daughter slide slowly out of the kitchen.
-Mia- she called her daughter in a low voice hoping that she would listen
The amber-eyed young woman stopped at the door, glancing at her mother from the door.
-I have to finish a job ..- the ravenette tried to get away from her when a hand grabbed her shirt
-Let me! -
Mark subject to his niece-Hey Ariana told me something interesting-
Mia frowned that maybe her family had nothing else to do, they always try to get into her life, she would like it to be for something good but they only cause problems in her life because they do it they don't gain anything by keeping her she never understood why they have such bad feelings towards her.
"What did Mark tell you?" Margot looked at her younger brother with interest.
-Hey Mark let Mia go - Daniel noticed how his younger sister's face contorted into an angry grimace, the youngest granddaughter could actually get loose from the man's grip but that involves hitting him and prefers to avoid those problems until he solves the riddle of Dio.
-Listen, Ariana told me that Mia is reading dad's letters-
Marleen raised an eyebrow - what matters they are for Mia not for us -
-Apparently they have something to do with the inheritance- Mark does not hate Mia but he needs money to support his family and for his father to cut the money to give it to a girl who had a long future ahead of her in addition to being young to be able to work Much later, she can get ahead on her own, but they who are her children abandons them and on top of that she began to charge them, it seems so unfair.
"So I left you father Mia, how much was it?" Margot slowly approached the girl, holding her shoulder tightly.
Daniel and Marleen approached removing Margot's hand and releasing Mia from Mark's grasp, Daniel is quite upset with his brothers these days only to be considered to inherit their mother's house in the future they have to stay in the house these two weeks living with each other and it seemed like hell they all fight each other yelling at each other all the time without stopping and now they are bothering Mia about the letters that to begin with no one has the right to see them unless it is Mine not even her mother Maria got into the situation about her granddaughter because her siblings could not respect their father's decisions.
-You can leave our little sister alone-
-Daniel, we are the children of Dio, we have the right to know what his letters contain-Mark claim to his older brother
-Those letters are only for Mia, they didn't include us-
-But…-
Mia took advantage of her brothers' discussion to be able to escape and finish her investigation by means of the cell phone, she must verify the coordinates of the code, Marleen observed in silence how Mia slipped away from the family discussions, sigh she wanted to speak with her daughter in these days after the testament Because Mia locked herself in her room, she thought about talking to her when she left but her daughter did not go out the first day, nor the second, nor the third until a week passed and she lacked the courage to approach so she could not speak with her since that day, Marleen decided that today she would talk to her although her brothers got in the way, the brown woman walked behind her daughter who ran away. Mia went directly to her room closing the door with a lock this time she wants to be able to finish the letters in peace, I look around her room for the cell phone on the unmade bed in the corner but there is none.
-Where is he? - he whispered, he observed every corner of his room starting to walk in circles until he hit the desk, noticing that under a sheet of paper is his cell phone, he really had to sleep a little more because apparently he was too distracted to notice the Simpler things, I search in google maps the coordinate 403740N309220, Mia was surprised, the Sevillian mansion is the marked location, a mansion and from what I can see in the photo it is quite large a semi-rectangular construction with a dome in the part of upstairs and many green areas around it suffered a little chill it really is a mansion it seems more like a very large cemetery has to go to that location in the letter it said that you should deliver the smallest envelope there is but someone lives in that place or you just have to pick up a package, God Mia felt that at this moment her life seemed like a horror movie where the protagonist has to go to the origin of evil to understand the situation. ion and then go to the conclusion of the story but this was not the case and perhaps what terrified Mia the most was that if she thought about it this was not the beginning of the end but the beginning of the introduction.
