“Ok, let’s start", she said. I don’t want to die down here. This place gives me the creeps.”
“Wise decision, Lilith. In order to start I want you to move the stone on your left one block to the front. But only one.”
Lilith saw the stone. It wrote nothing over it. She did as the bird said.
Now the stone read. “Which are the four essential elements?”
The stone on her left read “Earth, wind, fire and sun”
The one in front of her read “Earth, wind, fire and water”
The one on her right read “Earth, wind, water and wood”
“Wait, I think I know this answer”, said Lilith. I saw a few days ago a movie on TV with Mila Jovovich and the four elements. I think the one on the left is the correct answer, but I am not sure. What do you think?”
“Thank you for asking my opinion. The correct answer is to move one step in front of you. Sun and wood are not part of the four basic elements”.
Lilith moved one step forward. A sudden wind blow almost made her fall, but the bird protected her by giving her his foot to hang on.
“Thank you, you just saved my life twice”, she said. “Now what do I do”?
“Now look up and watch the flying birds. In a few seconds they will create the shape of an object. Try to keep it in your mind.”
Lilith looked up, and indeed, the birds created the shape of a bird, which she had seen very recently, but could not remember where.
“Now, please look down and see the objects, and move to the one most similar to what the birds created”.
Lilith watched the icons and saw two birds, an eagle and a seagull and a mouse. She rejected the mouse, but now was in dilemma.
“I have seen somewhere the object, but I don’t remember where, she said”.
At that precise moment, a bird made a very low and dark turn, and in order to avoid it, she heard something falling inside the same stone. It was the book. Now she remembered.
“Ah, the book! Here it is! It is the eagle!”, she said, just after catching it again and putting it inside her pocket. She thought she also saw the eagle winking at her from the book, but imagined it was her idea.
“That is the correct answer”, said Darnathil.
