He then climbed up and arrived in a desert, what he saw was a...
From afar i saw a silhoutte of a camel and a man wearing something on his head, i squint my eyes because the sun was daringly hot.
Could it be that i arrived at the cave on nightfall that's why it was very dark and i couldn't see clear. That's what i thought, but what is this land? It's sand and dry desert sand, not beach sand.
The further state in the map i knew about didn't have desert land on it, so this must be another continent. A desert nation, uhhh..
There was a story told by the grandson of the prophet, who his father had died by the raging storm in oceania sea. "His eyes were as dark as night itself, they always brought their big, tall chickens with egg on their back, they carry them around with rope", "on the dry land of Ibia, the legends of the sorcerer nation"
That grandson prophet were boasting and not making any sense were all i thought, apparently the prophet grandson claimed to have met a mysterious man in his dream when he was about to get enlightenment, i couldn't believe it.
Camels? You mean the chicken with eggs on its back? Just say camel! It's written in the clocktower books of ancient fictional history section!. Oh i remember he couldn't read. And probably since only workers were allowed access enter the library it must be hard getting the permit for him. I pitied him
It was a weird system but it worked to prevent people stealing books for magic uses, since witches and prophets in oceania uses mostly anything for sorcery. Books were used as portals and window to another parallel nation. A case 100 years ago a prophet claimed the library as his property and uses all the books as tools for his magic circle. He put it in the middle of a symbol and plant candles around them, poured some liquid he bought from another nation which then found out to be gasoline. He burned the entire library down and himself.
I wonder if the portal open upon his death i don't know i never understood sorcery, and burning yourself down doesn't seem to be an ideal way to go, imagine the pains and hurt as you screamed through your burning throat, definitely not a great way to go.
This is getting boring, i couldn't walk because my kneecaps were giving out i thought i might rest first in the cave as i wait for something to happen, the sand was blazing hot i couldn't have carried myself across the desert right now, it would be best to wait for the land to cool down. So i sat with my back resting on the cave wall and trying to see the picture and words written on it.
A bird, a bird on top of the other bird, and letters i don't understand, few waves. And a big camel. What is this a kindergarten drawing entry?
I really couldn't understand why they would carve a camel and bird and all those drawing in it, carving in cave is not very easy and requires specific tools especially if the cave is this damp and moldy.
The letters however i was very curious what it meant. I've seen ancient letters in the history section library books i read back at the states. And this one however it's very complicated, its more complex and the wet slimy wall is not making reading it any easier, the letters seemed a bit different from the ones i read in the books, i don't understand it, i couldn't read nor know what it meant.
I just searched and searched across the cave trying to understand all of it. And afternoon came, there were more people across the desert and i saw one coming this way. I waved and since my throat was hoarse as the land itself. I couldn't shout for help.
Somebody saw me, She came this way.
—
With feet buckled by the pain i gelt hope in my chest, it was a woman bringing a bandage, did she perhaps saw me in the morning or noon?, i mean she wouldn't have came here bringing bandage if she didn't know i was hurt.
She sat with her long dress and bandaged my bleeding elbow, arms and legs. She applied ointment on the back of my shoulders and feet too. The one thing that came to mind was that i've seen this figure and dress before, i couldn't really remember where though.
"Hello, what is your name?" I asked
She nodded and continue the treatment, i think she is mute or shy, i don't know which.
"Thank you" i thanked her.
She look at me for a while and continue bandaging my leg.
I really don't know where am i, who is she, and what to do. If this is really the nation of Ibia told by the prophet. Then what can i do to sail back home to Oceania? This is farther than any sails i have ever set to. State of Luchemn was the farthest i've rode to and it wasn't even a continent apart, how am i going to even live to ride back?
I'm chickening, i doubt i can think well after swept by the sea and landed in a faraway land which i'm not familiar with. Legend of sorcerers he says, that grandson prophet! Please at least explain about it he really didn't say anything else about this land, and it's not written in the books either. Only camels were written in the fictional section. What am i going to do now...
