Who can kill whenever he can
His eyes are gold and pale
Like a sun, but cold and stale
With skin as white and cold as the winter snow.
He now haunts every single person he knows
Who is he?
He is the one and only…
D-R—ESS
The last word of the rhyme was scratched so badly the kids couldn’t even read it. Then, Massia
quickly copied it down on a piece of paper. They then started to leave. While they were leaving,
the last word on the rock suddenly became clear. It did not read “Dress” anymore. It now read
“Darkness”. But no one knew that this was the rock’s secret. No one was allowed to see the last
word of the riddle. But it would be revealed after the seeker had gone.
Oochinata and his friends now followed the ring to wherever it told them to go. The sun was
going down, so they rebuilt the tent and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. It seems
like the voice always gave them clues when they fell asleep. This time the message was:
“The rock that tells part of the truth will reveal itself after the truce. The last and only word
you seek will come to you if it knows where ever you sleep. And when you wake he won’t be
there, but he will be watching everywhere.”
The next morning, Oochinata and his friends were discussing about the dream that they all
had the last night. They had a feeling that all of this was related to the first dream they had. They
discussed for so long they came up with the answer for the first riddle. The first riddle said that
they need to find Oochinata’s parents. Then the darkness means that the evil. The third line “your
allies will finally come to an end” was the hardest sentence of all, so they didn’t come up with the
answer to that yet. But the last line meant that the ring Oochinata was wearing showed them the
way by pointing to their destination with light. They kept on walking for a few hours until they
saw a sign. It said “Come in here and hear your future”. So they went in. Inside the little hut, there
was and old lady sitting in the desk holing a glass ball. She said:
“Come in kids, you are just in time for breakfast.”
Some minutes later, the old lady came back in the room with three plates of really delicious
eggs. Whilst they ate, the old lady was staring at Oochinata through the glass ball. Then she said
in a mysterious voice:
“Such a young boy with such a complicated future. You will be demolished by the lord of
darkness without the help of your friends, because he will destroy them before you succeed.”
Then she vanished with a puff of smoke.
PART 2
The next morning, when they woke up, Oochinata and Massia found Ottayo dead. They have
already travelled for 2 months, but whenever they reached their destination, the ring points to
wherever the new destination is.
The next day, they came across a Mongolian Death Worm. They tried to run away from it, but
it was too powerful. The Worm tried to use its electric shocks, but the ring saved Oochinata and
Massia. It created a force field so powerful that it scared the Worm away. Then, whilst the monster
