Finding the Sun (Not rated)

She sat there atop her mountain peak over looking her land of eternal darkness. The full moon shined brightly above her, making her purple scales glow. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes. I am Lustra, she thought. I am destined to become something greater than a creature of darkness. When she oped her eyes again, she caught a strange new scent. Who dares tresspass on my territory?

((Can I join this? Or is it too late?))

(Of course you can. )

"Fine, thank you and how was your meal?" she asked. She had caught the scent of the charred eagle on his lips. "But what is day? I only know of night."

Lustra let out a deep sigh. "Go ahead." She stared up at the sky. "The sun hasn't risen in thousands of years. There is no day; not anymore."

(Sorry, I guess I should have explained this better. This takes place in a futuristic world where the sun has set on the world thousands of years ago. The storyline is that Lustra and Amario go out and find out why it has set. Hence the title 'Finding the Sun', do you need any visual pictures of this world that they live in? Are you still interested in the topic?)

(Hope this gived you enough of a visual. )

"Yes way, how come you haven't noticed that the sun was missing?" she turned to look at him.

"Every now and then. I've read scrolls where it says the the sun was a giant ball of light, kind of like the moon only gold." She turned to look at him. "Pardon my rudeness, but what is your name?"

"Lustra." She considered his question for a moment. "Come, I have scrolls in my liar, they should tell us why the sun is gone." She turned and lumbered into the cave behind her.

She gestured to the rolls of paper above her head. Selecting a specific one, she brought it down and changed into her human form. "Come on. Amario, can't you change into a human too?"

She led him into her personal library and up to an antique old desk. Bruahing some other papers onto the floor, she unravelled the scroll and weighed it down with a few rocks. The scroll itself was written in an ancient language that had long since died out. "Here we go, I hope you can read gujarati. These are simple notes made by a philosipher thousands of years ago."

"સૂર્ય સુયોજિત છે. આ પથ્થર તે વિશ્રામી સ્થળ પરથી ચોરી કરવામાં આવી હતી. અમે શું કરશે? અમે કેવી રીતે અમારી સોનેરી પ્રકાશ વગર ટકી શકે?....."

(Copy and paste this into google translate, and it should tell you what it says. Just a helpful hint.)

Lustra nodded. "That's what I was thinking. But the scrolls don't tell you where exactly it was hidden, they just say that there are clues all over the forest that will show us the way." She looked up at him. "Do you think we should try?"

Lustra smiled. "Of course." Taking the one that they were looking at, she carried it back to the stacks and set it in its proper place. Skimming her stacks, she found a few other scrolls. She set them on the table. "Here we go." She opened one and laid a few paper weights down.

આ પથ્થર માતાનો પા સ્થાન રહસ્ય છે. અનિષ્ટ છે. તે શોધવા ના સંશોધક અટકાવશે કે દુષ્ટ. અનિષ્ટ જ અંધકાર માં અસ્તિત્વ ધરાવે છે. જો તે બાળકો ચહેરો હોઈ શકે છે અને તે આત્મા પછી blacker હેલ ઓફ આઇએનજી હોઈ છે. ખૂબ કાળજી રાખો. કોઈ એક પર વિશ્વાસ કરો.

"This was written by the same person," she explained while he read.

Lustra nodded. "Yeah, things like zombies, demons, vampires, and werewolves. All those sorts of things thrive at night." She looked over the scroll again. "Anyway, I think this next one gives us a little clue." She laid it out in front of him so he could read it.

હું અહીં પથ્થર શોધવા લાંબા શોધ શરૂ કરવા માટે એક ચાવી છોડી છે: વૃક્ષો ઊંચા ઊભા છે, એક ગામ સુયોજિત કરે છે. સૂર્ય કમાન થાય છે. તમારી અપેક્ષા લેતો એક હોઈ શકે નહિં.

"But there's one problem with that. There hasn't been a spring sun for centuries. Plus it says "tress stand tall" why would it at the edge? What if it's in the heart of the forest?" She shrugged. "I don't know, I've never been able to figure it out."
