Chapter 5 - Meeting with Guardian

Crystal rocks that have been exposed to sunlight shine with the same brilliance as the sun itself. Perhaps even more significantly, the temple is constructed out of these rocks, and they make the structure look very attractive.

Even though rocks can be found everywhere, each rock has its own unique characteristics in terms of its shape, size, thickness, and so on. It's possible that they were formed like that naturally, but it's also possible that someone did it on purpose. I believe that the solution to the puzzle could be found in these rocks.

But before we go any further, let's find out if I have to figure out the puzzle in order to enter the temple.

I moved closer to the temple gates and used all of my strength to try to open the gate, but it did not budge in the least.

"The gates are difficult to manoeuvre through." That translates to the fact that I still need to find the solution to the riddle.

'Hah'

I heaved a sigh of relief after giving some thought to the mental acrobatics that would be required of me in order to solve the riddle.

I chose to sit close to the temple gates because this was the only place that was shaded from the sun and cool.

"Let's repeat all of the words he said and then decipher them word by word," you might say. ''

As a result, I reached into my pocket, pulled out my journal, and started recording everything that he said.

"O decedent of the ones who were choosen! You, who are the descendant of the one chosen by time itself, You have done very well to make it this far. .''

"I am the overseer of time and space. The passage of time has already revealed to me that the one and only descendant of the one who was selected will visit my temple. This was predetermined by fate.

"The wings of the white god will guide your way." "The white god will show you the way." However, before the door will open for you, you must first arrive armed with both intelligence and physical prowess.

"If the first sentence is to be believed, I must be a descendant of someone who was known as the chosen one," the speaker said. That leads me to believe that individual must have held a significant position in the past. But I never imagined that my family would be anything extraordinary.

"Now, in the next sentence, I asked about his identity, and he talked about him being the guardian of time and space," you might say. He also mentioned that "time" has informed him that I will come here, which suggests that he may be familiar with an astrologer or possess some ability to predict the future."

"The third sentence mentions something about a white god; in mythology, there is also a bird god, and white is one of his attributes." Hah! There is an overwhelming amount of information to process.

"Now, the very last sentence, there is no need to dissect it because it is not significant,"

I began searching through the vast encyclopaedia that is my mind for all of the gods that are either white or are birds. I had acquired this encyclopaedia after fantasising about gods in my imagination.

"Man, I just don't understand what the answer is." My research into various online mythologies did not turn up any mention of gods resembling white birds. Therefore, it is possible that it is a god from 5,000 years ago that people have forgotten about after hundreds of years.

On the other hand, I seriously doubt that he will ask me a question to which the answer is totally inconceivable. Okay, whatever, this is the perfect time for me to take a break. After that, I will find the solution to the problem.

I got out of bed and immediately began exploring the ancient temple and its surrounding ruins. During my walk, I came across a peculiar object that was lying on the ground.

"Hmm, it's odd that the feather is lying here in this particular location, and due to the mist at the top of the summit, birds are unable to visit this area."

"Hm... hold on a second, could this be?" Yes, there is definitely a necessary item missing in order to unlock the gate. It is necessary for me to bring it along and search for other items that are comparable to this one. If I've got this right, there must be more of these somewhere in the neighbourhood of here.

After a search that lasted close to three hours, I was finally successful in locating all of the feathers that were required to solve the puzzle.

I took the feathers that I had gathered earlier and went over to one of the rocks that had a variety of shapes. When I brought the feather close to the rock, both the rock and the feather began to glow; after that, the feather began to levitate and eventually disappeared into the stone.

The stones began to glow as the feathers were absorbed, and I repeated the process with the remaining feathers, holding them in close proximity to the stone in the correct order.

"I had the right idea." It is not the bird itself that is god; rather, it is a god who has taken the form of a bird. There is a story that recounts how the beauty of Leda, queen of Sparta, captivated Zeus and caused him to fall in love with her. Therefore, Zeus transformed himself into a stunningly beautiful white swan. The Milky Way galaxy is home to another constellation known as Cygnus, which can be found in its depths.

There are nine individual stars that come together to form the constellation known as Cygnus. There are nine more feathers in addition to these. The number of rocks with odd shapes, however, does not add up; there were a total of 18 of them. However, if I only use the rocks that are necessary to construct Cygnus, then I will only have nine rocks available to use. As a result, the correct response is Cygnus.

As soon as I spoke those words, each of the nine pillars began to shine more brightly, and the doors to the temple opened.

I went inside the sacred building. In the temple, as I walked along a path that was perfectly straight, I saw pictures that had been engraved on the walls. There were also letters engraved, but I couldn't make out what they said because they were written in an old language.

After leaving the corridor, I went into a room that was similar to a throne room in appearance. The height of the throne ranges between 5 and 7 metres above ground level. In order to ascend to the throne, stairs were constructed. I got up and started heading in the direction of the stairs. It took place right as I was about to start climbing the first stair.

"Congratulations! You did an excellent job of understanding the clue that I gave you."

After that, the light particles combine, and a man appears to be sitting on the throne with his head supported by his right fist.

"So it would appear that you are the watchman of the temple," the speaker says.

''My name is Aeon.''

''I watch over the ancient ruins and temple as well as serve as the sixth leader of the "Time Clan," which is responsible for controlling time. Nevertheless, I am not God. When I was younger, I was a human."

''What?''
