Chapter 5: Mysteries Present


"I don't think this day can get any longer." JetStream mumbled to himself, he was on the couch trying to think of what to do on this seemingly boring day.

"Well, it's only 2:26pm, and actually I had an idea before we even arrived here." JetStream's ears perked up.

"What is it?" he awaited his answer.

"That, when you were more grown up, we'd explore the city together. Thinking it would pass the time one day." JetStream leaped up.

"That does sound interesting..." he looked at Myriad for a reply.

"But I'm pretty busy though, I don't know how I'll be able to do that at these times." Myriad pondered on what he'd do, then turned around, "I know, how about you go ahead and explore for yourself?" JetStream was shocked.

"You got to be kidding, you are kidding right?" he asked with a worried expression.

"No, not really. I'd like for you to go out and get some sunshine, or whatever your Mom would say." Myriad laughed.

"Well, yeah, now that I'm thinking about it, it does sound nice," JetStream headed for the front door, "See you later Dad." But before JetStream was out of sight, Myriad jumped a rule.

"But I do not want to see you out of the city lines, got it." He rose an eyebrow. JetStream nodded.

"Yes, I will." Myriad nodded back and closed the door softly. 'Hmm, I wonder how he took orders from his parents.' he stood there for a second and then went off into the stone paved paths and alleyways. 'Oh, I got an idea, I'll go from the top of the city to the bottom, yeah! That's perfect!' Now since he's got his route set, he had no worries. And as soon as he got to the most top he could get it hit him, "This is the most cool looking town ever!" he loudly whispered to himself, "... But then again, this is the only city I've been to so far." The ocean was first to capture his eyes, it was just beautiful, the whole city complemented it, the city its self was full of bright whites and blues. All the buildings were made of stone, that got smooth corners over time, and the most interesting part is that it didn't mold. The green grass reflecting the sun's light, "Ah, what is tha-, whoa!" JetStream found something reflecting a huge amount of light, "What's glass doing on a hill?... And how am I still able to see?" But aside from that, his eyes adjusted to the blinding light, "Oh, it's past city bounds..." But put the consequences aside, and JetStream went to the glassed hill, and as he went he wanted to be hidden, so he decided to stay in as much alleyways he could, they are narrow paths that are not very populated as normal city paths, and they aren't as lit. And as JetStream would trot through, the whole section that JetStream would be in, would glow the same color of his coat due to how much the light is being pressured, every second or so you would hear two to five colts and/or fillies playing at the end of a path, so it was quite quiet too. Soon after a couple minutes of trotting, JetStream made it on the outside, all that was left was the road that lead to the bridge, and a sign saying, "Welcome to Altamare!". He looked around until he knew for sure that it was the hill he saw, "Hmm, well I saw it over there, so maybe... Ahah!" It was located behind and to the right of the sign, he then started galloping, "Oh boy, it looks farther than from inside of the city. Anyway, let's see this hill." It was a huge circular glass pane on the side of the hill, "Whoa, the edges look like spikes and flowers, how come nopony's never seen this? Can I walk on this..?" But then before he even started he realized that he'd slip, or the glass would break and he would get hurt, "Nnnevermind... It doesn't look like there's a way in either." he went ahead and searched every side, but nothing. JetStream suddenly lost the time, and decided to check again, "It's 3:01pm." He decided to walk to the front of the glass again before he went home, but before then, he saw something that caught his eyes, "What does that say?" There was something sketched into the side of the rock, "It was probably sketched at that angle on purpose..." And after tons of looking JetStream finally understood it, "... 1308... and, go back to where you started?" he scratched his chin, "What does that mean?" he could think of something in forever, but he needed to get home, JetStream then pulled away from the glass and started trotting back to the city, "I'm gonna keep on to that thought though..."
