Chapter Four: Signs
“How much longer until we get to the city?” Marco complained very loudly now then. “Sooner than the last time that you asked, but you asking doesn’t change when we will get there exactly,” Helena said very plainly and calmly now then.
“Why is this taking so long exactly?” he said now then.
“You do realize that this is a lost city we’re talking about here, right?”
“Enough arguing for all of you, we still have a very long way to go.”
“Daring, we know that already, but can you tell us what you’re doing to help us our exactly? Because other than protecting us you’re not really doing that much.”
“Are you complaining about how I do my job and what I do too exactly? Because if you are I would very gladly let you try to do it and see how well you handle it exactly, so before you answer I would consider reviewing your words first.”
Marco glared at her with great hate, anger, wrath and fry in his eyes now then.
“Okay fine, then, alright, I’ll shut up now,” he said lowering his head down now then. “Very good then, because this is not a journey where you complain at everything, there’s already something for that, and it’s called real life.”
And with that said they continued on their way until one of them finally spotted something, “Look,” Kronos said, “I found some old ancient markings.”
“I wonder what it says,” Quentin said pinking it up to study very closely now then. “I recognize this writing,” Helena said looking at it very closely now then.
“Yes, I see, so what this message is basically about is that the city contains more gold and wealth than we can ever imagine, that’s all that I can read at least.”
“Wait, are you saying that there are parts of this that you can’t read?”
“Well yes, just like the first passage of writing we saw, no pony knows that language, but this contains traces of very old and familiar language that I do know. Though I don’t know why it would get more familiar as we got closer to the city, but then again, who am I to say what their language was like back then? I mean it could be very similar to ours in ways that we don’t even know yet fully,”
“You are so right in so many ways,” Mortimer said brushing by her side now then, “Come on now, you can add it to the pile, but we still have a very long way to go and just standing around here all day looking at that very old ancient thing won’t get us anywhere, and we have a schedule to keep so let’s go.”
And then with that said the whole entire group started to move very slowly and they then eventually reached a point where they could stop and rest now.
