Chapter-8: Returning Hopes

Mr. Jeviva and Zekiva had been waiting for a while now, "When is Mr. Aldric coming back?" asked Mr. Zekiva. Jeviva was pouring tea into the tiny cups and served it to Mr. Zekiva. "Soon." Mr. Jeviva replied. Mr. Zekiva sipped the tea and kept it back on the table and Mr. Jeviva took his seat. "What's the matter? Why have you been looking so ill now a days?" Mr. Jeviva asked. Mr. Zekiva was looking out of the window, waiting for a certain moment. Mr. Jeviva snapped his fingers in front of Mr. Zekiva. "Oy, what happened? You look like a wanna be painting." Mr. Jeviva asked. "Nothing." Mr. Zekiva replied totally emotionless. "That's weird." Mr. Jeviva raised his eyebrows in the sentence and leaned on his chair and stared at Mr. Zekiva for a good moment.

Yunghoo was walking towards the end of the cave when suddenly a sound like bells ringing hit his ears. "Huh? What now?" I looked up and questioned. The navigator still hadn't returned to me. I ran towards the end as quick as possible so wouldn't have to face another thing again, but you have to anyways. "Gotta run. Quick quick!" I told myself as I started running but a rock blocked my way through. "The heck!? What is this?" I stopped like 1 centimetre away from the rock and was about to hit it. "Phew... At least I didn't hit this. My face would become a flat plate." I told myself. I walked backwards to look at the rock and stare for a while. I ran towards the other direction to find another way out, but it was also blocked. "Huh? I am stuck now or something? How do I restart?" I looked around the menu button and checked each options but none had restart... "Grr... I hate this!" At that moment, I was like 'You won't let me die? You won't let me live?', it was a pain in the ass.

I sat on the ground and started thinking what to do. "What should I do?" I thought and slowly started feeling suffocated. I started to hear big foot step sounds and laughter sounded like some giant laughing. "?" I turned back to see nothing. I stared at the place for a while and a shadow could be seen from the other side. My whole body shivered. The shadow was like a giant's, in fact, 'Two' giants 'cause there were two. They were the Golem Guardians which guarded the mountain Neviseg. I instantly jumped from the ground and stood up. "Mr. Navigator, I need your help, THIS INSTANT!" I stared at one direction and waited for the guards to come. I slowly took out my sledge hammer and got ready to attack.

The Golem Guardians were speaking another language which I couldn't remember hearing before. I tried to understand as much as I could but I couldn't no matter what. I waited for the navigator, but it was dead apparently. "What? Did you die or something? Mr. Navigator!?" I asked. But I guess it was time the navigator left it all to me, I had to fight for myself!? No way, but, why am I here anyways? I need to play this game by myself.

I walked backwards a few steps and stood there still. "All right, I gotta get ready to attack quick instantly" The Golem Guards had walked and they stood there as if they looked like they heard something. The Golems Guards said something which looked like they questioned, "Did you hear that?". I was dumb enough to cover myself with small rocks, but it helped anyways. I stayed in my position for a while so the Golems couldn't see me. The Golems walked away and I ran to aim for their heads and I hit their heads very hard. " Yeah! How do you like that, huh?" I said so confidentally and stood on the ground after the Golems fell on the ground. "Oh I mean, this really helped." I looked at my sledge hammer and thanked. I found a key in one of the Golems belt and I took it. "Hm? What is this?" I questioned as I was looking at the key. I just kept it with me in my inventory. I walked away from the Golems and found out a way which leaded somewhere else. "Oh, where does this path lead to?" I questioned as I walked.

I walked for about 30 minutes which had made me very thirsty. "I am so thirsty..." I whispered. I checked my belt but I didn't find any bottle which had water in it. "Wait, does that mean I hadn't drank water from the time I came here!?" I was very surprised to realize that I hadn't drank water the whole time. That is right, I had just drank some Naim tea and nothing else at Mr. Jeviva's workshop. I found myself in front of a huge gateway. "Can this key this gateway's?" I looked at the gateway and took out the key. I tried to fit it in but it was too small. "Oh, I guess this is not it." I dropped my shoulders.

"This key is not for this gateway." A man's voice spoke. I looked around and found no one. "Yes, I am the navigator to be wondered. No need to be surprised." "Huh!? Is this how you sound, Mr. Navigator!?" I questioned the navigator as I have never heard him before. "Yes, I haven't been speaking all along and now I am. This key isn't this gateway's." The navigator pointed at the key. I looked at the key as well and asked, "Then, what do I do?" the navigator directed me towards the other way and I followed him as well. "Where are we going?" I asked the navigator. The navigator replied, "We are going to find the key for the gateway." I asked, "Then what does this key do?" the navigator replied to me, " That key does another work. It's not going to be needed until a certain time." I walked along and walked until the navigator stopped in front of a huge rock.
