Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The holy grail

Hours go by and Xote and I have both found nothing walking around the sallow underground sea. Being dissatisfied we give the central island a closer look. Removing the coffin in the center I finde a bright yellow stone embedded into the floor. By touching this stone the floor begins to suddenly glow. Shouting to Xote I say. ''Xote come on this platform, I think we could go up to the sealing this way.'' ''Coming!'' When Xote is on it like the still meditating bear and the sleeping beauty I try to pull the stone out of the floor. By doing so the hole platform goes upwards, this time without the blinding halo of light. Arriving under the sealing a mechanism seams to engage, because with a single wind blow the golden walls disappear a round staircase leads down. The underground sea is gone and replaced by a sea of treasures. Still pulling the yellow stone I drag it right out of the pedestal. ''A I see you have found the treasury.'' Says Arthur with white glowing pupilles eyes. ''Arthur?'' Asks Xote his friend. ''No Art. Your friend is sleeping. Me invading into his body takes a toll on him.'' Explaines Art in the body of Arthur. ''What is all of this?'' I ask looking at all the shiny stuff all around us. ''This is the Empires hole treasury. From golden titanite to embrionic elixir every resource a kingdom,... sorry district, I'm just learning how you guy name these places,... will ever need. We created this place as a backup for the empire in case of a kindome ever has a resource crysis.'' ''Ok. This is all still your stuff Art what do you want to do with all of it?'' I ask the former King. ''Nice of you to remember this in front of all the riches, but I'm content with just living so distribut it among your selfs. I don't care.'' Says the king waving his bear claw. ''Great. District 117 appreciates your donation...'' I hear a familiar female voice say. Looking at Lith she continues smirking mischievous at me. ''... What? My titan is the only User among us.'' ''She is right. I'm only interrested in his places history not it's resources.'' Agrees Xote not really thinking it through to deeply. ''I to can agree to that, if I get access to the golden titanite for crafting purposes naturally...'' Says Arthur now without glowing eyes before going back to his eye glowing ways. With a nod I agree to his demand. ''... Good to now, but I should show you guys the most important treasure of my kingdom. The holy grail!'' Announces now Artin out of the bears mouth, leading us down the tairs to a mirror at the food of the pedestal staircase. Wiping a round in front of the mirror an indentation get freed from gold coins. ''I would nee this!'' Says the cub thit the aura and charm of a monarch to me pointing at the yellow stone still in my hand. Reluctantly I give him the stone and the bear claws begin to fiddle around with it. Now in the hands of the king I can see small movable cicles arround the stone that are some kind of fantastical padlock. ''Mutch more challenging with claws than with fingers.'' The king announces before putting the stone into the cleaned indentation. With a familar wind blow the mirrors surface vanishes and opens up a room behind it. ''My forge and Gweneras laboratory.'' He proudly announces walking right through the opening. Following after im I see a well organised on the leftside and a luxurious laboratory on the rightside of the room illustrated by millions of light stones imbeddet into the sealing.
