Chapter 19 - The Eon’s journal: The new beginner

As Jason, Niko, and Az are in underground from the exogene cave den from bigger ceiling from crystals. They are seeing a abandoned storage with metal icons of steel and the other crystal created the enchantments and artifacts made of blueprints.

Niko was found the second riddle when a new Master Jason are help from the secret door of a bookshelf. Jason saw everything seeing the left big blacksmith from tools. And the right a workshop with blueprints from creating new parts.

Jason and Niko saw something else, with five different path tombs from different rooms of den with mark from a path. Jason couldn’t believe their eyes from a new discovery. And the King Pen was right all along for believing. Niko felt glad found a perfect place for him and himself.

“Master. We finally found it! That’s the ancestor wizard’s built are looking for.” Niko existed. “Yeah. This is incredible. And we lucky all of these storages for a mother load.” Jason said. “Let’s take a look around. I can’t wait to build myself form new parts.” Niko said. “Yeah. But we have to check five of dens first. Who knows what their rooms look like.” Jason said.

So, Jason, Niko, and Az will check of first den, to enter a room not to far away. They are seeing a first room, the training room. They are big enough to train with dummies and targets practice. Jason could be helpful with a blaster cannon for a right hand. And some lifting weights for exercise. They haven’t been for 60,000 years, he will know for not only who ever found.

“Huh. Very impressed. Master Jason, you could training here. That way you could make you strong.” Niko said. “Yeah. But the weights, I think whoever belongs to. Which means, someone who found a secrets from underground tomb. Let’s try do another side of room.” Jason said.

They went back of the exit and the next den of path. For a second den enter, the another workshop and there a covered a bigger sheet from the machine. Jason and Niko have another discovery in a workshop for making machines and build to create.

“Wow! Another workshop. What it could be built in there, huh, Master?” Niko curious. “Yeah. I’ll just have to see it what it is.” Jason said, and pulled a bigger sheet from machine built. “It’s…a Supercharger.” Niko curious, for a bit surprised. “I never seem any like it. But it hasn’t finished.” “I do seem a Supercharger’s before. I remember way back when I took a pictures from the island.” Jason said. Then he turned behind from a desk, looking at it of a blueprint to walk forward. But as who hasn’t finished not just the ordinary machine, it’s the rarest Supercharger have ever built a weapon. “Wow. So, this is why whoever built. But there are missing parts not being finished.”

So, the parts are missing not being made, but they continue to search the next den path. Jason, Niko, and Az headed the exit and ahead the third den. “Right. Let’s headed the middle.”

For heading bit downstairs and see a big door for a third room. But unfortunately, the door will not been open. “Hmm. The door is locked.” “That’s not good. But there’s a key hole. It’s impossible to find a key the entire island from a Deserve Island. That could be a problem.” Niko said. “Niko. Is there anyway you have a riddle inside your head.” Jason asked. “I like to help, Master. But I can’t. But I thought I remember the third riddle for one more, but I don’t get to rush for my memory, or I lose everything.” He said. “Great. Well, I guess it’ll have to wait tomorrow. Let’s headed the fourth.” “I agreed. And I promise, I’ll think in my head instead tomorrow.”

So they headed exit and ahead the forth den, then Jason heard the sound for engine not too far away. They made in the fourth room from a the water engine room from recycle.

“Wow! Look at all these pipes.” Jason impressed. “They’re all over the place from the ceiling. I wounded who made it?” Niko curious. “I believe it making recycle. How did it for engine?” “Look. The crystal. It’s coming from inside.” Niko said. Jason and Niko checked from the inside the engine with glass, a lightning bolt crystal for electric power for created. I never seen a power crystal before. It’s some kind of an electric crystal. Which means the wizards build the water engine for 60,000 years. And it’s hasn’t been rusted.” Jason said, gently rubbing a metal with no weak spots. “And between 50 to 72 degrees, and Fahrenheit 10 to 22 degrees Celsius for a temperature is stable. How did the recycle work?” “Don’t know. Let’s check the other crystals power inside what it looks like.”

Jason and Niko checked from the other crystal’s, but they found two other crystals with their powers. It reduced of recycle of substance discharge, water reuse, and discharge water to surface water. And that’s where the pipes go from the ceiling, still using a kitchen and bathroom.

“Wow. So that’s how the recycle works. I been using a bathroom where it goes through the sewage, it’s must be treatment plant and grow food.” Jason said. “Yes. It appears the water engine is treatment plant keeping nice clean water, the entire spread from a Deserve Island to grow random berries with a few bushes. No one had ever wasted.” Niko said. “Well. Guess we’ll have to leave it alone. For now, we’ll have to go the fifth den.” Jason said, ahead of exit for water engine room.

They headed a last den, near at the workshop. Jason, Niko, and Az saw the elevator from a switch. For a ten miles ahead, Jason pulled the switch downward, going down by level floor. The elevator going deeper and darker, the Archie stone and the Light Amulet still glowing from the light. Until for last seconds, they on a bottom level with a tomb with no glowing crystal’s on a ceiling. Niko and Az feel a bit scared from a few miles in a dark.

“Hey. You feeling okay?” “I uh… kinda scared. I’m not quite sure what it looks like.” Niko said, for a bit shivered. “Don’t worry, Niko. We’re gonna just straight ahead.” Jason said, walking forward a stone floor, with Az followed stay beside Jason. A few miles ahead, Jason finally reached at the end, seeing the three doors has been hidden room. Then Jason saw a bottom of floor seeing light by the inside. Jason won’t turn away and believe himself to let go his fear. “Do you think something was in here, Master?” Niko asked. “We’re going have to find out.” Jason said, walking forward a middle door, then reached his hand touched a handle.

He opened the door slightly, Jason, Niko, and Az saw everything in a big room. From the librarian room. But Jason feels relieved for no one ever been incredible room for many books with abandoned. And a top of the ceiling for one big glowing crystal light. Then Niko feels relieved for no one else in there. For now, Jason and Niko will look around for a histories and discoveries of Skylands.

“Wow. That was… incredible!” Niko excited. “Look it all this. This is exactly what I needed for!” “Yeah. This is an amazing place I ever dreamed of.” Jason said.

He looked at the middle of lecture covered a sheet. Jason pulled gently without by accident, took out of the sheet covered by lecture, saw a book of a journal. Then the one rare crystal of mystery, it could also who ever use it to teleport to open a portal. No matter what how it used when Jason still looking at it for interesting facts.

“Say? I seen the rare crystal of familiar.” Niko curious. “The rare one of the crystal. What’s it do?” Jason asked. “I know what exactly it does. It’s a teleport crystal to translate a map opening the portal whatever you go.” Niko said. “But unfortunately without a map, your map detector still broken. That’d could be a problem. But I know how to fix it, like I said before, it’ll take apart by few months.” “Yeah, you’re right. I never thought seeing that crystal before. I should take it what it does.” Jason said, take a crystal and put in a pocket.

Then he pick up a journal book of the lecture, looking around to sit. By a left of a desk with a chair. Jason sit down and open the book by the front page, but he’s familiar who wrote a book for a wizard with several years.

“Wait a minute. I know something who belong to. It’s gotta be… Eon!” Jason said, the Niko felt surprising from a book. “Eon? So, this is all about the wizard writing?” He curious. “I remembered that yesterday, I found out back in a big room, the book called The Three Wizard Secrets whoever wrote this is the same front page. But I haven’t read it yet.” “Came you read a beginning when Eon found a secret the Deserve Island for first place?” Niko asked. “If it can read, I’ll have to slow down. I guess I’ll try.” Jason said, then flipped a page to and read to sitting by a lean a chair.

Jason sees for a day one, for a first time Eon made a block of stones with strong bricks and some made a strong wood build with five months ago. And Jason felt surprised for Eon’s hard work by himself alone on a Deserve Island. He’s not only one of the best discoveries made a journal a blueprint with several years for imagine.

“Wow. No doubt about it. Eon build a first time for his home. And especially found another underground tomb, right here from a exogene cave.” “Indeed. Which means, Eon build a first house of five months. how interesting. And the second he built the biggest load from the underground for a winter. The woodshed.” Niko said, then Jason flip a next page and see a constructions a woodshed for top above, and below the underground for 32 loads of wood. “Okay. Let’s start a month. Beginning of January to May with a house for five months. Then by May to November with a woodshed for six months. If my cannulation I been added, Eon was alone build without powers, with almost a whole year.” Jason said. “That’s explains Eon doing a hard work by himself. It’s all make sense now. It almost reached of December, if something else it made for strong wood, he must be able make an own rooms and live here.”

Jason flip the page the next one, and see a constructions of many rooms , with three bedrooms and one bathroom for upstairs, then for a living room and kitchen. But there’s no laundry room, Jason how’s know to wash a clothes and dry outside. It also knows when Eon is very hard work for a new secret home without knowing. “23 days of finished?” Jason curious. Then he sees something else for one secret door from the underground tomb from downward stairs, Jason remembered a fake books of decoy from switch. From an end of the beginning, Jason closed a book, and lean the chair back. But he’s hasn’t fully finished entirely pages, he sighed for a bit headache to read.

“Man. No wonder how Eon did this.” Jason bit stressed, then Niko rubbed his neck to cheering Jason up. “Don’t worry, Master. You can’t give up so easily. It’s just takes time.” He said. “We figured things out. Sometimes… you just gotta find solve a new discovery.” “Yeah. I feel a bit dizzy. Let’s head back.”

Jason took an Eon’s journal with his hands. Then Az opened at the bottom indoor by a desk. A one cube, Az was seeing inside. He took out with his mouth, and followed Jason behind.

Went back at the elevator, Jason didn’t realize by a right wall side of a front a switch from a light of Archie stone. “Ah. Another switch. I believe it belongs a controller switch for elevator.” “So that means apparently, we won’t get trapped staying here for second floor.” Niko said. Then Az ran to catchup, Jason see a cube with a sheep’s mouth. “What’s you got there, Az?” He said, then took a cube and looked at it. “Hmm. A toy? Where’d is this come from?” “I’m not sure that cube what it is. Maybe by a librarian room when Az found it.” Niko said. “We don’t know what it was, we deal with it thing cube later.”

“Then, Jason pulled a switch to go up the elevator. For with two pockets in it with a journal’s book and a cube. Until it reaches a top floor and exit. Looking around from a exogene cave, completely abandoned left of blueprints at the workshop. And the blacksmith have fully storages in boxes are more enough. As Jason haven’t been making metals for a blacksmith used. For day one, Jason, Niko, and Az are solve a riddle and a discovery from the underground. And Jason, he’s need take time, and how to use it.

“So, Master. I think that’s everything. I believe you we have ours for the underground exogene cave, so what are going to do now?” Niko asked. “I do not know. I haven’t learned to use it. We should probably go back.” Jason said, and turn around ahead of big door open walking back at the tomb for the exit.

A few moments later, they made it out from the upward stairs. From in house built of Eon’s several years, Jason still felt safe with Az and Niko. So now, no one else outside from this world, only a one human survive on a Deserve Island to claim a new secret home.

“You know something, Niko. I believe Ron is only one build this house, but now, it’s only three of us.” “Certainly. But I still don’t get it, if he’s only believed reading for 60,000 years ago, how come Eon abandoned the first place? It’s been more than like… over 100 years.” Niko said. “Over 100 years!” Jason shouted. “That’s the wizard how old 65 or more years?” “Yes. They’re not only one’s ancestors of wizard species, like almost 1,000 years ago. They’ve are hidden secrets from 60,000 years with missing tablets with seven piece.” Niko said. “But the downside of their eight people, they lost a one tablet left behind from trolls.” Jason said. “That’s completely true.” Niko said, then they both sighed. “Well, master. What else going to do.” Then Jason feel a bit growl from his stomach. “I’ll say… we can eat some random berries. I haven’t eaten breakfast for a few hours.” Jason said, then a bit chuckled.

Then Jason and two friends with Niko and Az went outside going to uphill for stairs. As it almost by sunset, Jason will do tomorrow or another day how to used it. And learn to read Eon’s journal for Deserve Island of Skylands.

A few minutes later eating a random berries for early dinner. Niko was try to help him, but still need a more time tomorrow or Jason will never be used. Still on Jason’s shoulder, he’ll have to wait to talk to him.

When they finished eating, Jason lay down on a soft grass and try to think himself. But he hasn’t to teach the blacksmith and the workshop, Jason will taking care himself. Then, he’s thinking King Pen again for told, Jason did remember in his mind.

By a flashback wearing disguise mabu, King Pen taught Jason to calm down for breathing his lungs. He’s doing very well for many times. Then King Pen tells Jason to learn from used for his own skill.

“So, Jason. How’s does it feel for relaxing breathing?” King Pen asked. “I feel… calm. And… glad. I’m starting getting hang on it. Jason said. “Good. This will help you to calm you down, you’re still remembering it.” King Pen said. “Now, I’ll will tell you about the ancestors from wizards.” “What about it?” “Well, if they abandoned left behind from secret island, they will be almost extinct by the wizards. It all left behind of items for entire Skyland.” “That’s kinda true, when you told me. But… I haven’t done anything learn stuff. I can’t to do stuff without permission.” Jason said.

Then King Pen a bit laughed and looked at him. “Oh, Jason. You’re a bit strange question you didn’t learn. Unless… there’s one way to help you. Unless the journal book will might be useful to read instructions, then allow to use it.” “Me? Why am I doing that?” Jason asked. “Because someday, if you found a secret Skyland by yourself, it will all be yours. Including a journal book when it left.”

“A journal book? Is the wizard wrote all the page before leave it here?” “Yes. But you don’t have to rushed or won’t be successful. It’s not been so easy as it took. You have to be patient by following a footsteps.” King Pen said. “And like I said before, you must believe yourself to do on your own. “So I can do everything to make things?” “And you have to create. The point is… it’s your responsible for skills with a balance, then you will complete the task and every step for a day to do all over.”

“What if… I mess things up? I still not sure how to do it. I haven’t been teaching me anything yet.” Jason said. “I know you can do it. Just remember, patience. This is your key your skill and more talents to believe yourself. Someday, you’ll have own confidence. And the whole Skyland from the secrets can be yours.”

By the end of the flashback. Jason laying on a grass watching the sky. He took out a pocket of Eon’s journal, looking at it from their pages for his wrote all the notes. For some reason, Jason will read the instructions for the items and ingredients. He’s need more time until tomorrow, Jason will use it of blacksmith and of workshop to learn himself. He stands up and walked back downhill again. So, Niko and Az are would follow him.

Jason look around to became his now for a home. Now he’s doing things his talent for an own. It taking months to complete the task and follow a footsteps when King Pen told. Until Niko stand by his side to help him from his master.

“Master. I know it’s hard for you, but… is there something else I could help you. The Deserved Island is ours for three of us, well no offense a small sheep. Is there something else I could help you clean the dust, Master Jason?”

Then Jason keep it deep breath for lungs and breathe out. He turned a head and looked down at Niko and Az, holding him hand wait Niko hop on. Lifted him up to see his lizard eyes, Jason will give a task and work together.

“You know, Niko. You’re right. I think it’s time to take a footsteps, and I have a task for you to clear entire dust.” Jason said, for given a task to Niko then smiled at him.

A few minutes later back to the house, Jason and Niko are cleaning up to get rid of dust, and folded the sheets to organizing. Then, Az is helping cleaning of a small sheep, he did pulled out a sheet and give it to Jason.

Niko wipe the table and chairs, he’s cleaning wet hot towel wipe it off the dust. Jason cleaning dishes by the sink only has one hour to clean the kitchen and organized. With plates, spoons, forks, and knifes with nice and clean from dust. By any of course with big knife putting here by the cutting board, Jason can use by fruits and vegetables.

When he finishes, Jason picking up carrying the sheets, taking upstairs into his bedroom and putting in the closet. Jason folded two more sheets when it left. He’s taking time to clean, the rest of two rooms hanging covers by sheets, then heading downstairs for a next task.

“Alright, Niko. I’ll give you a lifted, I need you to wipe the windows entirely house. Can you handle it?” Jason asked, to give him a task. “You can count of me, Master. I need some hot towel, so I could use wipe it all.” Niko said, then Jason grab a towel headed in a kitchen. “Good. I make sure nice and hot. Thinking you handled your metal claws when you get started?” I could do anything I could handle.” Jason turn on a hot water, heating up a towel and head out of the kitchen, Jason’s white gloves won’t be burned from metal. “Hey… Master.” Niko spoke to Jason for one more word. “Yeah.” “I wish… I could be brave like you. And I can follow my own dreams with my footsteps.” So, Jason was understanding he hold a hand, and Niko hopped on and lift it up. “Well, I guess that’s what we have a footsteps, will think more time till the third riddle will found.” Jason said.

So now, Jason give Niko a hot towel and hanging him wipe the windows, they doing a goal from footsteps together. Niko takes time to remember the a riddle, he will find the answers have been found.

By three hours by almost even a night, Jason, Niko, and Az are completely clean entirely house, with three bedrooms upstairs and one bathroom. Then a downstairs a living room and kitchen. So, Jason will leave it open the secret door by a bookshelf. But there’s one last thing to get a wood by the woodshed, before its sunset goes out of a dark.

“I’ll be right you two. I have one last thing to do for a dry wood.” Jason said, headed outside and walked forward left.

By taking 30 minutes underground second floor from the storage wood, Jason loaded up from a wagon by using a magic podium. So it finished loading full and pull the elevator to go up. When Jason feeling a new beginner like Eon, Jason would taking few months how to take care for entire Skylands.

As he reached the elevator top a floor again, heading house with five loads inside and stack a wood a corner nearest by the stone fireplace. So then, Jason put a wagon back in the woodshed and close the door.

He back in the house, he felt comfortable for a new home from finishing the chores from entire dust. Then especially he’s need a do laundry outside on his own with sheets and clothes of three. Jason would fit to try on a different clothes.

“Ahh. It’s good to be clean everything. And it’s going to be a lot of things to do, Niko.” Jason said, then he smiled at him from a top a fireplace. “Indeed. It’ll take a couple weeks and few months. That way your place is the safest Skylands would never bothered or find us. So, what going to do next tomorrow? We already cleared the dust entirely house.” Niko said. Then Jason took out his pocket for Eon’s journal. He turned a page few times, Jason read something interesting haven’t checked the right from the sphere stone, he’ll would know by morning, and that’s why Jason started for a footsteps.

“Although… let’s check it here by morning, then I’ll have to do laundry and we have some other things to do.” “Certainly, right. It will taking time until I need answers for my third riddle.” Niko said. “Yeah. We should get some sleep. We have big day for lot’s of things, for above and below underground.” Jason said, then he put a journal book down by a table and upstairs. And Az followed him heading Jason’s room. “Aren’t you coming?” “Oh, no. I think I’ll stay up, there’s something I need to do for myself.” Niko said. “Well, if you’re sure you can handle? You don’t get wasted your energy, you get tired.” Jason said worried. “Don’t worry about me, Master. I got everything under control. I’ll be sure to stay awake until I sleep somewhere else.” “Okay.” Jason sighed. “Well, good night. And thanks for being cleaning up the dust, you’re a great friend assistant I ever had.”

And so, Niko hear it. Jason and Az went upstairs to go to bed. Niko was really happy with his new master will be pleased, he look at the Eon’s journal and open. Turning the page to create to build the machine, Niko found a blueprint made a podium of magic. And found the way to be useful.

Went in his bedroom, Jason feels exhausted for cleaning entire house from dust, but it still stuff on a bed, he put something else on a floor. But Jason looked two books from a desk, and he put a big book make room the third. But Jason still time to remember the beginning what he were in Skylands. If Jason couldn’t remember his memories for started the first story, he would be forgotten.

For that moving on, Jason looked at the middle of the window, staring by the stars of night. He’d seen a one shooting star a first time of shine, Jason still made as promised to keep going for Lieutenant Dallnix. He never letting him down for survival skills.

Then he turned, Az was sitting on a bed waiting to cuddle him, Jason smiled at him as he petting a sheep’s head. For now he’s never feel alone from abandoned house.

“I know what am I going to do, Az.” Jason said, sat next to him on an old bed. “I believe the assistant Niko called me master wasn’t that bad. What am I gonna tell Lieutenant Dallnix to see this? But I can’t connection online for my map detector, because it’s broken.”

Then Jason sighed again, breaking the rules are scum. As he’s a research and a soldier, they’ve couldn’t find Jason where the Skyland located. He still time, and on of his own to reach a goal a footsteps for himself. It’s time for a new start beginning.

Meanwhile, Niko entered underground of the exogene cave, looking around and searching for blueprints from a workshop. A one small lizard tool expert, gave the idea to make one with his size of podium. From follow the instructions, to make the most gears and magic. But Niko will always help his master by his side, he’ll make a new gadget to create together, and find the way for hope.
