They all passed through some bushes and their eyes grew wide at what they saw. It was a tomb with a stream around it. It didn't just look normal, it looked enchanted, somewhat magical. With all the flowers and the dew, it was beautiful, and Manandra felt drawn to it.
The tomb wasn't normal like the stone you'll roll during Jesus' time, it had something like a sliding door. It had some ancient writing on them, and Josh the historian didn't seem to understand so he came up to take a closer look.
"Is this even real?, There's no language like this." He said
"So you can't read it then." Eric asked
"No I haven't seen anything like this before"
Daisy walked up to it and rubbed her fingers over it. She knew a good deal of languages but this was unlike what she had ever seen. It was not even familiar to Josh who studied every language, but something caught her eyes. She had studied some Asian languages due to her love of anime. And she noticed some letters and syllables. They where combined.
"Hey josh, this is a Chinese letter and a Korean syllable and this is also a Japanese vowel sound." She said pointing to them.
"Yea and this is also Russian" Josh said. I think I can make out what it says. And Josh read it out brokenly;
Which of these draws your eyes,
It may be a curse or a price,
Gold or diamonds something mysterious lies,
Open or go away and go crazy for the rest of your lives,
Wandering why, you didn't try.
It was a poem and they were all very confused. They weren't sure of what it said. Just then a hand print appeared with the phrase "Place your hands", and a unknown word written in English.
"Ohhh now it's talking in English" Alexandra said
There was this tense on eerie feeling that's surrounded the atmosphere that everybody felt. it's felt negative like as if they were in some kind of danger
"Uhmm guys... I don't think we should...." Sven said, unsure.
"Do you want to spend the rest of your life going crazy wondering why you didn't open it?" Manandra said
"I think I'd rather not do that. Because that's what they want us to think. No one's gonna go crazy for real" Sven replied.
"No that's not what they want us to think. They want us to think it's evil and miss our perfect shot to know what it actually is. This our chance guys, isn't this what we've wanted all along?" Manandra said trying to convince them.
" I think we should stay the way we are than to risk our lives. I'm not saying this because I'm already rich. Besides, the rest of us here are doing just fine. Apart from fame and more wealth, there is nothing else we need, we don't know what we are up against." Sven said.
But Manandra didn't agree at all. She had a family and so much responsibilities. This was her chance and she even felt a little greedy. Every other person took Sven's side.
"Really?" said Manandra
"He's right Mandy. We don't know what we're up against." Erica said.
"Are you guys being serious right now? We came all the way to Astoria island and all of that was for nothing?"
"Yes but do you want to risk your life for something you don't really know about?"
"This isn't risking life this is being brave! That's why we're the "TRESPASSERS", we don't listen to rules or warnings. Come on guys!!"
Mandy said looking towards the direction Alex and Daisy stood. Hoping they would have her back. like they always did . But they said nothing. Not even Alex her best friend could look at her directly.
"Fine, I'll do it myself." She said and walked towards the tomb placing her hands and saying the words " Kistros Kuresmatrus".
