Chapter 4- The Imposing Escape
As time flew by the time was ticking and Onyx had no idea whatsoever of a plan. Before she had fully thought it through, she was insistent to at least try something. Having decided to attempt to crash the door open she stepped back and leaped towards the door, she soon found out the whole building was built with an extremely sturdy structure that’s for sure.
Soon enough she began to believe she had made no progress and was about to give up until suddenly she seen a faint silhouette in the distance, Onyx had just seen enough of the figure to just make out a little piece of clothing the faint figure was wearing; a long, flowy black cloak that was trailing behind its self, the end of the cloak was fading into a dark stone silver colour. It was very difficult to see what it looked like, not even to mention what it was!
Onyx wanted to know what the silhouette was and took some steps towards it. The figure turned around and just, disappeared. She had wondered if it was just the ‘creator’ of this game dangling a bit of hope or perhaps it was a hologram she thought and moved on with escaping. She realized what she could do to escape. Outsmart the creator. Onyx looked around the humongous space she was trapped in and scanned the walls, attempting to find a weak spot in the walls and luckily found one.
Onyx then began to take a few steps back and ran like the wind towards the wall and once again, it didn’t work. Onyx then came to her last resort. The book. She began to scan the book and found some sort of writing she thought was Greek, Onyx was lucky she had picked up on a little bit whilst in the city. Although she didn’t know what this meant she knew the writing below it, it stated as; ‘To whoever is reading this, you have found the element of destruction, fire. Use it wisely and for the greater good.’
Suddenly after she read that passage something had fallen out of the book, a ring and a pair of earrings that looked like Ying and Yang. Onyx put them on and felt a rush of power. She then read more and it said she would have some sort of ancient powers. She tried to find out how to use them but couldn’t translate it. Onyx just tried to know how to use them and it worked, the ring turned into a fire symbol along with the earrings.
Onyx began to melt the wall surrounding her and it worked. Despite just getting powers she was so happy to have escaped that place. As time went by, she got to a forest covered in vines and wildflowers, soon after she began to run as fast as she could. She then found the portal she used to get through to this Greek world and without hesitation, walked through.
Onyx ran to her house and made sure she the portal had disappeared before she left. Onyx had finally made it home and explained to her mum who obviously didn’t believe her and sent her off to bed, Onyx did realize her mum was acting a tiny bit different but honestly thought nothing of it. ‘She still hasn’t realized it’s a simulation, has she? Said the same voice from the emporium.
