Chapter 5:

A Change of Plans

Memories in Hearts 心の中の思い出


Eather says "We will change the plan we will head Southeast now where Neyad is heading now to get the eye of Etenom then we will get the white gemstone."

On their way they hear growls and hear trees getting crushed down they notice the sounds and start running fast jumping from branch to branch and as they got close they hear a scream from Uzaria then Eather goes fast too fast for the normal eyes to see and Hiyelu sees as the Etenom was about to crush Uzaria down after he had hit Neyad to be launched far from her but Eather jumps in time to save Uzaria then he calls for Tashaskuna and Hiyelu the he says to Tashaskuna "Take her to Neyad and back away." 
Then he says "Hiyelu attract him to you then climb the tree as fast as you can."

Hiyelu runs away from Eather and shouts as he runs. While Eather climbs the tree. Then the Etenom lock eye at Hiyelu and runs towards him and Hiyelu as the Etenom gets close Hiyalu climbs the tree as fast as possible and the Etenom crashes on the tree knocking it down and Eather hanged on a tree branch with a rope and leaped to get on the Etenom and Eather stabs it with tipped iron knife then the Etenom calm down then Eather cut off his giant horn with his Saken causing the horn to bleed horribly and Hiyelu feels sad for the Etenom but Eather put herbs he brought with him with Jaslin flowers to stop the bleeding. Then as the Etenom goes to sleep he gauged three of his eyes out and put one of them in a bottle then went to Leyt and gave him the bottle and told him "Take Uzaria with you and head back home." All while Eather was not very happy with what he did. It all seemed like he had to.

Then Eather and Tashaskuna and Neyad and Hiyelu went to get the white gemstone but the only way to get it is from Catin's crater which is a huge hole in the grounds in the Northeast of the forest.
They head even further to the east reaching the deepest and darkest points that are known of the forest. 

Eather says " I only came here once with Uncle Beynam and felt like I never wanted to set foot here ever again, but still there was only one person to have set foot in it and he was Dairaku from the outside world on his visit here about 300 years ago and he came here just for this white gemstone and the reason why we never tried to even get close to it is as you figured out by now it is flaming hot the deeper you go the in hotter it becomes." As they arrive the hole looks too frightening for anyone to even get close to. 

Eather says "We need to cut branches off the trees surrounding the hole to let light pass through." Hiyelu cut the branches out and Neyad took one of the branches and then wrapped a resin saoked cloth on the head of the stick and Tashaskuna took a rope saoked it in water to stay cool then he tied the rope to the the tree that is close to the hole and Eather took of his jacket and gloves and boots and a piece of cloth to wax his clothes with the Etenom's eye. 

Then Hiyelu yelled "No my king!!! I am going down the hole!" As he said while climbing down the tree and everyone stopped and went to Eather but Eather said "I have to go. I am the only one that knows how that gemstone looked like and there are many gemstones down there that look like it and we only have one chance because the rope can't handle the heat for too long and I don't know if the Etenom's eye would still be effective after one use so I must go." And so he does Eather climbes down wearing his waxed clothes and he covered his nose and mouth with the piece of cloth he waxed while hanging on the rope and holding a torch with his left hand he then goes down slowly and at first he sees yellow gems covering the walls and then he sees orange gems then further in he finds black gems then red the blue then green then a dark purple colored gem then he finally finds a white gemstones that are as big as his hand of which are smaller in comparison with the other gems. He digs the gem out with his knife and then as he climbed back up he hits the gem with the other gems until he made it to the top. And when he reached the top he said "There is no mistake this is the gemstone Beynar told me about."


Eather then said "Now lets go to the cave to get the red gemstone” then they start heading to the cave that is north of the Carn’s crater and get the red gemstone.
