Chapter 4 - The Ancient Tablet

In an Underground City exists an Old tablet, it studs vertically at 6ft in height and horizontally is 4ft as for the breadth it can't be understood yet. At the top middle head of the tablet a crescent Moon like sculpture hover in midair but in a way that shows as if it connects with the tablet. 

The crescent side of the moon-like item is facing downward, on the tablet. Painting an image of a tablet handle. 

Well it's a handle used to carry the tablet, says some scholars. They believe that the size of a human then reaches up to 50ft in height, not by shape shifting or size enhancement, but their actual size in base form. 

The layout of the City is not known much, only the Citizen of the city knew, since they are the keepers of Old Sacred Tablet and other important guarded secrets. 

An elder with a bit of a wrinkled face, stands on an elevated position looking at this year's participants that appear in the cavan one by one. Some keep disappearing and reappear because their understanding of the Mysterious hallway hasn't solidified yet. 

But some return on their own accord to have a comprehensive understanding, most of them are from the royal family and some notable noble but few from the commoner. 

He sighs and thinks ''it doesn't matter whether one understands all or partially. What is needed is to arrive here before the Tablet activates and starts calling''. 

''Unless one wants to comprehend the mystery of Door, space, time, and bit of reality".

He gazes at one child that was sitting on a rock, the boy has black hair, and dark skin not very handsome, but he is the genius of this year's group. He has photographic memory, high comprehension, good athletic body, strong bones and well developed muscles. Furthermore, he was the first to exit the hallway.

The elder sigh again and said in a low voice ''It still doesn't matter, there will be a waste of talent, if his body, mind, spirit are not in synergy with each other.''

''Or he tries to take full symbol that he is not compatible with''. 

A voice from the air resounded beside the elder and said ''Some nobles including the royal family are trying to have Sacred Scholars from this batch.  So we might end up witnessing some dazzling fireworks. Why fret about a single individual. Besides I think this kid named Bako has a chance of success. If he isn't greedy''. 

''Do not joke about this Amelia. Beside none of those that will choose Sacred Scholars will die immediately during the ceremony '' says the wrinkle middle age man. 

Amilia materializes beside him "How so!  Are you going to interfere again? You shouldn't be doing this any longer. You did not have a breakthrough for long. And your body begins to age''. There was a worry on her face. 

While the man smiles ''She told me'' by pointing at the distant Tablet ''And beside it's not as they are risk-free. They will still die at a later date if they are not careful''. 

''That is more dangerous than dying here.

Outside there is no suppression of the Sacred City. How will the king handle this. Since it's not a matter of explosion only'' said Amelia. 

''They all have taken necessary precautions, the place where the Sacred scholars will undertake their Academic learning has been under complete monitoring, and closely guarded until they make a successful breakthrough ''. 

By the time the last person enters the cavan. The surrounding floor, walls and the ceiling lit up with complicated writings and images of Beast. 

Some animals are like domestic one, a normal chicken, sheep, and even cattle. But still the Images give a calm feeling and all the senses of the children increase in clarity. 

Those that are sitting stud up and began to scrutinize the surroundings. The enormous cave can fit at least 10 Hector of land but also, it felt as if one can reach the end in some small leap. 

Albino girl, with a disinterested look on her face, has her attention captured by the Tablet. Which others seem to ignore. 

She walks step by step forward as if answering a call from her Mother, with no hesitation. By the time she is a hundred feet away. She felt a bit of pressure seep in her flesh and bones. Her understanding capabilities reach new heights. She can vividly remember some notable thing when she was a baby. 

Grand elder Musa say'' I thought inanimate Objects shouldn't be bias, but its always start with a female''

''Heheheh. You mean all the blessed came to from females that received first guidance. The tablet is a female so why start with male''. Say Amelia by his side. 

While they are watching the interaction between the Table and the albino girl. Another elder walk toward them while saying ''Just a moment ago a gaze was cast here. That man's boldness is increasing day by day. I think Grand elder Musa should have a good talk with him''

''Let him be, if he manages to locate us, is a good thing'' say Grand elder Musa

''That will be the day that NUA kingdom will be at his hand'' Amelia say with an angry tone. 

The Grand Elder Scrutinizes her and elder Zam and says ''I think the two of you can know this. As you have already known Our city is Independent of Nua Ruling, so also some kingdom affairs. But we aid each other and most of us came from Nua''

He brings a transparent rock that has circle and written word design that keep changing shape and color. 

He put it down and continued ''There is an old rule that was set to prevent outright war between Kingdoms in this Continent. Which say (ANY SUPREME KING THAT CONQUER, THE SACRED LOCATION OF ANOTHER KINGDOM. HE HAS THE WRIGHT TO TAKE THAT SO KINGDOM AS HIS.) ''. 

''Can't the kingdom fight back'' ask Amelia

''They can if their king has the same Title as SUPREME. But if not, the must he can do is to pledge allegiance ''

''No wonder, those Kings never visited each other in their home kingdom but rather they met at Floating Marble Palace''.
