Chapter 7: Going deeper


JetStream circled himself stationary, "Come on, JetStream. There's got to be a way further!" he paused, hoping to get an answer, "Alright fine... Wait... Deeper! I'll check my bedroom!" he then turned to his bathroom, and stumbling due to how dizzy he was. He looked high and low, but all he could find was the emerald he kept, and a wooden, but polished, box. "Hmm, seems suspicious enough." he shrugged. He then grabbed it, "Oh, what? I need a key." he then decided without thinking to put it back under the bed, but then quickly brang it back out. It was a number lock, "Aghh! there are four digits! That's, like... over six-thousand combinations!" JetStream went ahead and tried a couple, "1-3-3-7?, no... 2-0-9-8, no... 0-4-4-8, no... 0-0-2-5, no..." He was actually liking the guessing game, "0-3-9-7, 7-7-7-7, 1-1-1-2?" JetStream sighed, "All no..." Then, another random number popped up, "Alright, let's try 5-2-5-4...!" It clicked open, "..." JetStream shrugged to himself, he opened it, and the only thing inside was a note.

"Gallop the hill up and vanish from the ground dwellers."

He soaked it in, 'The hill in the backyard?' he looked out the window facing the yard, 'Well, it is facing away from the middle of the city... Sure...' he smiled, 'But first...' he then went back inside, and tried to find Myriad, "Dad, Dad!"

"Oh, uh, yes?" the sound came from behind a corner.

"I'm going off to explore again." JetStream turned around, and waited at the back door.

"... Sure, but like before, stay inside the city." JetStream replied and headed for the bottom of the hill.

'If it said gallop up the hill, then I'll start at the bottom. And it's about 3:47pm so let's try to make it quick.' he reached the bottom of the hill and turned around. "So, a little gallop up this hill, and I'll be, there somehow." he has doubt to deal with, either that, or he doesn't want to smash into the house with more force this time. Then with one sudden step, JetStream was galloping up the hill, as he approached the house, the more worried he would get. "No, I got this..." he continued, and suddenly with a random counted hoof hitting the ground, "Ah, what's that noise!" It was unbearable, and soon after a part of the ground opened up, he fell through, with a sudden yelp, he landed and started tumbling as he went further, there were torches everywhere, "Am I in a, cave...? Anyway let's continue..." he tried to remember where the hill was, and then he followed certain paths, there wasn't much to look at, just dirt and torches. Finally after what seemed like four minutes, JetStream made it into a room, "Wait, is this the" JetStream looked to the top of the ceiling, and there it was, the glassed pane, "I'm inside it now." he whispered to himself. JetStream decided to take a look around, the sun's light was shining in. JetStream studied the glass more clearly, "It's tilted more, so much it looks like we have to wait till sunset... I wonder what this is used for... Oh, how do I get out of here?" he decided to stand in the sun's light so he wouldn't feel so cold, and then, with his spirits raised, he spoke to himself suddenly.

"I'm here, I made it... But I don't have the note I should've saved it... The sun just watches me, it can plainly see... If only I could stare back, without it having to hurt... If only I can make it back home... If only I avoided this bitter result all out, then just to figure without doubt." he sat there, suddenly, there was a ominous noise, and then it came to life instantly, a door was opening, it formed a small arch, "I guess that's my way out..." JetStream loved that feeling, he never wanted to let go of it, great succession and sincerity.

All the while something was watching JetStream closely, in the shadows. It had a soft and light laugh.

heheheh...
