"But that's in Westmister Abbey. How are we getting there?" Justyn Worriedly asked.
"That is where my son comes into play. Andre will take you there and he will help you get it," The king answered.
Andre did not look as if he wanted to do this. His facial expression told everyone that he was not interested and did not care to help them but he agreed to fix what he had started. Andre explained that only the royal bloodline has the access to teleportation abilities. They had to plan how they were going to steal the crown and bring it back to Kayode. They would not know which of the stones is the mind stone and which is just a regular saphire.
"The same way I can sense its power so can my son,Andre," The king explained.
"Now you must go on! I'll take good care of Jivan and John." Kayode wished them farewell.
Andre opened up a portal right there inside the palace where the public would not see them leave. It was the same kind of portal that brought them here. They shut their eyes and when they opened it, they were in the royal church. The church had high ceilings and the finest nineteenth century architecture. It was a sight for all of them to behold. The architecture was breathtaking.
"We have mission and I just wanna go home. I don't wanna be here so will you please hurry up," Andre interupted everyone's moment.
Everyone came to their senses and stop gazing around. The large church felt disorienting since it was a new place to them and it was so grand. It was time to locate the crown. There was no one else in the church since it was late at night but the church was dimly lit; just enough to see. The lighting was perfect. It was enough for them too and enough to hide if they needed to. They decided that the best thing to do was to split into team so that no one had to be alone while looking for the precious jewel. Andre, Justyn and Jhaved were going together and Javed, Zane and Justin were going their own way to look for the crown.
Each group stayed low just in case they needed to hide behind some chairs or other objects quickly. Justin, Javed and Zane went all the to other end of the long hallway of the church while the other searched the rooms near the entrance. To the far end of the church they found a door behind the altar there was a door behind a curtain which Justin accidentally stumbled upon. It was not very well hidden. There was only a curtain blocking it so they did not think too much of it but decided to check it out anyways.
They opened the door and there was a spiralling staircase going downwards. They thought it was suspicious and without a second thouhght the three of them slowly made their way down. The lower they went, the darker it got. They continued even if they could not see; their grip on the handles of the starcase grew increasingly stronger as their fear of the unkown overtook them. They arrived to a point where they could not see anything. All they could hear was eachother's footsteps.
Meanwhile, Andre, Jhaved and justyn seemed to aimlessly walking around. All they kept finding were empty storage rooms or storage rooms filled with junk. Andre opened the door to what seemed to be another storage room but something caught his eye. There a large object hidden behind a dusty, stained white cloth. He had no choice but to give in to his curiousity. He felt drawn to the object.
Andre seemed to draw Justyn and Jhaved's attention because they came in wondering what he was doing so long. Andre carefully pulled the cloth off of what they found out was a chest. The chest was gold and its shine could be seen throughout the dark storage room.
They knew something important must be inside. Andre used his extraordinary strength to break open the locks on the chest. What they found on the inside was an old key and a short scroll. They knew they had to open that scroll.
"Hell only exists because of Heaven.
This key only exists because of a lock.
Only the chosen can find the precious seven," Andre read the scroll out loud for them to hear
"Find me at the place that finishes this rhyme goodluck," Andre read confused by this.
'Who was trying to communicate with them? Who was watching them' All these things they wondered out loud to each other. They were scared because they knew someone was watching. They thought that it might be a trap. They had to go find the others. Andre, Justyn and Jhaved called out to the others while walking towards their direction. When they got closer they heard the footsteps echoing from the staircase and called out to them. Javed, Zane and Justin heard them calling but it was inaudible. They were so far down that the voice they heard echoed and became hard to distinguish. This scared them and they started quickly moving down the staircase.
Andre and the others heard the footsteps and wondered who was running from them. They thought it might be the person that left the note and ran after them.
Zane, Javed and Justin heard the footsteps following them and they became terrified. They were so scared they tripped and fell and rolled down the rest of the staircase which did not continue for much longer. When they hit the bottom, they saw a burning torch at the end of a tunnel. It was the only thing providing light and that was all they can see. They could barely see eachother. Andre, Justyn and Jhaved caught up with the rest of them and they all scared each other since they all looked like shadowy figures in the dark. The sound of Justyn screaming made them realise that they were all just reunited again.They all looked at eachother and wondered 'what secrets hide down here?'
