Praying for Reasoning

 

Jules expressed with his steed to the bottom of the enormous mountain of Seers of Five.  He tied up the rings to a branch that was near a creek bed for his horse to drink some water and eat up some grass.   His memory related that the correct passage was with the symbol of twin wavy lines vertically in a square cut stone.  He wrapped some cloth around a single sword blade.  It was the only lighted source for a little while.

Mists fell from the ceiling of the passageway.  There appeared to be a wishbone of paths.  One up a slight hump.  The other was down a curved slope.  Jules caught that there were two different icons of tablets above the doorways.  He carefully examined them for a dead giveaway secret hint.

The passageway one on the hump had thumbnails of twin wavy lines vertically.  Before he took one step his eyes caught a loose footprint stone.  It was an old desire trap.  Jules sighed with a deep breath.  He recalled from his assistant to be ware of traps in the Mountain of Seers of Five.  This tunnel became narrow with sharp ridged edges.  He slipped and his shoulders received a slit from two edges.  His motor skills were slipping from a trance of poisonous gel on the edges.

He twirled in circles, and his vision was getting hazel into a dazed of sleep.  He collapsed to the floor.  The blood weaved in a maze on the floor.  It was lighting a secret tablet from the floor.  There was an ancient message all around the middle of the stone tablet.  Somehow Jules started speaking a dead language that the Seers of Five could understand.

The Seers of Five magically appeared on all the sides of the stone tablet.  They leaned on it and encouraged more from Jules.  His words were feeding them an unknown powerful source.  They waited until they got their meal from this majesty.  He repeated these dead language words, “Dee Lange Fir Moot.”

They slit the wrists of Jules for his magical blood.  His blood would awaken the fire breathing dragon in the heart of the mountain.  All what the Seers of Five needed was half a cup of dripping dark blood.  The manipulation of the Seers of Five was dragging the four siblings to the mountain for trickery.

They mixed it with a small amount of BioHerdic.  There they helped Jules to sip on his own blood with BioHerdic.  His eyes glowed along with his mouth.  A bright neon blue light spewed from his eyes and mouth.  He was in another dimensional world.  There he saw an unknown man slaying with a dual battle ax.  Then a voice spoke to him from the Heavens.  It sounded like the Seers of Five.  He woke up at the top of their mountain.

There he sat up from their hay bed.  He described his vision about this mystery man with a dual battle ax.  He raised it at the end of some type of battle.  The Seers of Five tossed their skeleton bones of fingers from their skulls.  They added some mixture of his blood by dabbling it on top of the bones.  There appeared a massive cloud that was mixed with lightning and thunder.  It struck with its lightning that opened a trimix portal.

Something was drawing Jules to it.  Neither of the Seers of Five spoke a word but just watched and studied Jules.  He glared at an angle at the Seers of Five.  “What was the meaning of this?”

“Go into the Trimix Portal for your resolution on this matter.”  The Seers of Five directed with a signal by pointing to the center of the Trimix Portal.  There he slowly entered the portal.

It tossed him in all sorts of directions.  He smacked his head and lost conciseness as he traveled down a loopy river of souls.  He laid in some black particulars of sand facedown.  Some magical orbs hovered around this uninitiated being.  There were three that formed a triangle shape.

They used their healing spray that circular the entire body of Jules.  He gasped for air from traveling through the Trimix Portal.  He rubbed his eyes from the sleep.  He saw light neon colors all around him.  “Where was this place?”

“It was called Istric.  It was between your reality and either the future that was waiting for your people.”
