Ch 8.2- Contacting the gods
Just in front of the frozen sea, there is an altar that overlooks the sea.
Ashim: This is it. This is the altar they told us about in the last village.
Nima: You really think you can contact the gods with this?
Ashim: We won’t know until we try!
Ashim puts an offering of food on the altar and prays, while conjuring up a memory of the blonde haired goddess.
Ashim: Oh, mighty goddess, please bask us in your presence.
There is a pause, and then a voice comes out of nowhere.
Goddess: Welcome, mortal. I am surprised to see you have come this far. What is it you want from me?
Ashim: Well… We’re trying to get to the Lost Land, and I was wondering If you could tell us if we’re going in the right direction.
Goddess: Hmmhmhmhmhm. Smart boy you are. Wouldn’t it be convenient if I told you how to get to the Lost Land?
But that is sacred information. Information that I cannot disclose.
(Ashim sags his shoulders)
But if you are pure of heart, I guarantee you that you will find the Lost Land.
Ashim looks up in surprise.
Ashim: Does that mean the Lost Land exists?!
And how do I know if I’m pure of heart?
But there is nothing but silence.
NIma: I guess we didn’t gain much.
Ashim: No… We gained a lot.
He smiles and makes a determined face.
Nima, Damien, ready?
Let’s keep on going.
Nima smiles, then runs to catch up with Ashim.
