We entered the the chamber and we adjusted to the red white orb lights hanging on the high ceiling. It gave a vampirish elegancy. It was really cool. Emily was looking around open mouthed and I was ooing while watching curious instruments whistle and blow.
'Josie look at this' Emily piped excitedly. I turned to look at the thing she was pointing. It was a vase that was holding a magnificent white flower, the filaments and petals of the peculiar flower was waving and flowing by an unknown wind. I went closer and examined. There were initials written.
I slightly touched the raised initials and felt sudden adrenaline flowing through me. I jumped back unable to hold the powerful rush. It was as if I could run a mile or two.
'Woah' exclaimed Emily suddenly.
'What?' I asked and saw it to myself.
Small floating white orb like blue fiery things were flying here and there...
Emily rushed towards one but it floated away from her.
'I think they're small ghosts' I said unsure.
Emily snickered. 'I believe they are will-o'-the-wisps'.
'Will-O the what?'
'Wisps. They are legendary- lights I think. They're not creatures as far as I've read. Some evil guy was handed a small coal by the devil and he uses it to lure travellers to their death. It's quite foolish to follow these things' she said admiring the lights.
I nodded but couldn't help noticing them making a path to a door. I elbowed Em and she noticed it by furrowed brows.
'I don't think it's safe to follow these things' she said concerned.
'We could be careful' I said. And walked towards it. Closely followed by Emily.
We stood in front of the door, the will-o'-the-wisps lead us to. Unsure but kinda determined. Emily moved the crystal like curtains from the door when she began hissing at her hand in pain.
'Emily!' I cried in a low voice. 'What the hell?'. I held Emily's hand and saw a burn.
'I never saw this before' I said horrified. 'Niether did- aah' cried as suppressed as she could.
Fuck. It hurts to see her in so much pain. I pulled her hand towards and examined. There's a big scary burn mark and whatever it is, it's eating her flesh out. 'Josie it hurts' whined Em, tears rolling down her cheeks. 'Nhgg...' she cries biting her lips...
'You can go out now. I'll complete the search myself' I said surely. 'No you need me just as I need you. I'm not leaving' she said firmly. I held her unharmed hand and said 'Yes I need you. I need you like with me onwards. And that's exactly why I want you to go back for me'.
She looked at me and replied 'Fine then. I'll actually stay here'. I agreed and moved the crystal curtains with a rod beside the vacant table. I took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy door with my shoulders slightly. 'Be safe' Em said. I took a deep breath and walked in reminding myself to close the behind me.
My eyes took quite a while to adjust to the heavy bright light of the room. When I opened them, my jaws went touching to the ground.
'Oh my goodness...'
It was a room of wonders. Or it is some kind of garden inside the palace or another wonderland.
The ground including the pillars around was covered and coated with emerald green grass. The sky above indicated the amazing night sky which was sapphire blue and lights of unknown spectrum floating around. A beautiful moon and sprinkled minute stars decorating the phenomenon. Watching the moon gave me an odd pleasantness. And I began feeling a strange force around me. Calling out to me. Trying to guide me somewhere. The force was somewhere out in the horizon... I was oddly feeling my blood flow around my veins. It's really scary but fascinating... It was really out of ordinary and underneath my void understanding.
And as I stand there confused and full of awe, I saw peculiar shadows... Shadows floating around calling my name... "Josephine...." "Come..." "We waited too long..." "Untold mysteries yet to unfold my child..." "My blood....".
I did not know where the voices were coming from. But it was just enticing and lullaby like. I searched around, frantic to find the source. 'Where are you?' I called out. 'Where are you mother' I called out without even thinking. I did not know what I was talking about. It's not my mother. But it just came out.
"My child...." "Come...." the voice said. I closed my eyes and began whispering something even without my conscious knowing why.
'Welsa salen eyes salen akuna akvagan... Help tel'quiet Wutheth salen dharasha.... Welsa salen mevari slave eyes oh lord has fasisu...' I chanted
Translation: "Open up my eyes my ancestorial powers...Help me find my destiny....Open my mere mortal eyes oh to a glory extent"
And then I felt the ground shaking. The exact feeling came flowing to me when I was in the cave. I heard rocks rumbling. A strong wind swishing from behind. I turned around and saw a small light. It was growing, the light began growing bigger. Until it formed a shape. A shape of a woman. The light was very hard bright and I had to cover my eyes from the power.
The light subsided. But the ethereal beauty of the woman floated around the magnificent place. She gave out another glorious bright glow herself. Of grace, beauty and power. Her long white flowing robes showing her magnificent curves. Her long ears jewled with curved white earrings. Her silver blond hair flowing majestically behind her like curtains. And a white jeweled crown on top her head. Her perfect nose and strong jawline. Small wise eyes giving out warmth and love. Small lips that was beaming with glorious pure white teeth.
'My blood...' she said to me in a slow steady voice that made the ground tremble.
'Queen Lavinia.....' I said, 'Mother....'. Bowing down in awe and amazement.....
