Capítulo 12: Chapter X: Discoveries

Aiden was shocked after reading that letter, because there was much he didn't know and things to discover, his mother seeing his face so shocked asked him who had sent the letter, Aiden had to tell her that it was a joke of Lenz and that he was going to return it. The young man decided to go this time on his bike to the high school, he passed by the park and stayed watching how they were taking out Mr. Graham's body, he felt nostalgic at that moment as when his father had died and suddenly the memory of when he was 6 years old came to him and he went to his grandfather, where the young man told him that he wanted to be a great adventurer and meet great inventors like him, between laughs the grandfather told him: -It's good to have dreams, my dear Aiden, but whatever yours are, you must always remember one thing: "See the world with the eyes of your heart, not with those of your mind". The little one didn't understand and his grandfather only said to him: "One day you will understand, little one". The young man moved on, but wondered why he felt as if he had known Mr. Graham since long before he came to town.

Back in high school, Aiden joins the others in an empty classroom and shows them the letter Mr. Graham had left with him. They were all surprised, now Emma said that to think that all this time that old librarian knew more about the secret and that if he had known before he would have helped them much more, Aiden interrupts him and tells them:

-Yes... but that's not the weirdest thing, I passed by the park on my way here and I saw Mr. Graham's body being taken out... I felt like when I lost my father it was the same feeling, I don't know... I feel like I've known Mr. Graham since before I got here... it's something I can't explain-

-What a crazy friend, imagine that you and the old man in the library were related, that would be even crazier, you would be the owner of the library, brother," says Lenz.

-Please Lenz! That theory would be absurd, there is no connection between the two of them except this letter," answers Emma; removing the letter Madysin says:

-and, according to this, he left you a chest in the library you have to go for the Aiden surely has some clue that will help us understand what we should protect-

-Yes, I'm curious to know what that chest has and what answers it can give us, -Aiden replies.

-I have an idea... How about if Emma and Lenz accompany you to the library, I will stay with Hobson to decipher the clue, do you think?

-accordingly we will do it during the recess

After planning what they would do, the young people go to class but in one of those when Emma was entering the classroom she bumps into Adyson watering all the leaves she had with her, Emma helps her to pick up and in that she observes a great fashion sketch, she is amazed and says to him:

-whoa! Adyson this very nice, you have a great talent for fashion ... -

-yes, I like fashion very much, my dream is to get to the Parisian catwalks... but that won't be possible if I fail math, I'm very bad at it-

-You know...you're not a bad person...if you want I can help you with math, do you think?

-Okay, but don't say anything about this to Bry.

-Emma leaves, and at that moment Brithany arrives and sees Adyson's sketch, takes it out of her hands and laughs:

-seriously, what? You're trying to get to this on the runways of the world? don't make me laugh - Bry tears up the page and keeps saying - let's go, hurry up we're late.

Adyson with a downbeat attitude picks up his broken sketch from the floor and leaves. Then, during the break Madysin and Hobson went to the high school library to research once again read the clue, she tells him that to start he should research that bird Ikaru, the young man opens his laptop to search and after a while he answers her:

-let's see... what we have here... this says that the Ikaru is a very ancient and sacred species of owl, bearer of all knowledge... the history of this sacred bird goes back more than 500 years, it is said that there was a tribe that fell to the edge of ruin they did not have to eat and they were less and less, until one day the chief of the tribe managed to see this majestic and rare bird in his eyes, (they were big and bright blue eyes), giving him great knowledge, with which the chief managed to get his tribe ahead, after having given him such knowledge the bird disappeared ... and every so often you could see the creature furrowing the skies, watching the carrier to do good. This did not last long and the chief became corrupt, using that knowledge to make wars, for the destruction of people and ecosystems, he already felt powerful but the bird that prowled from time to time, seeing that his knowledge was being used for evil took the soul of the chief. Since then this creature has chosen from generation to generation a person to whom to give what the tribe baptized as sacred wisdom, that is why it has been venerated by some tribes as the sacred owl.

-what a story!... then we already know that what we saw is the statue of a sacred bird. But this part "where the little one looks at the others" doesn't make sense-

-a Madysin moment... where the little one watches the others, it's like the story of Ikaru... it's a little owl, the piece is in a little owl!

-You are very intelligent, Hobson... there is the other part, "where the gift of creation is born"... it must be a place to create things, right? at that moment Ezequiel arrives saying that if where things are created and Hobson is afraid to close his laptop with one blow, at that moment Madysin says to him:

-What are you doing here, Ezekiel?

-I can't come to see my girlfriend... I wonder what you guys do at night? Maybe my good friend Hobson will tell me... he won't - at first Hobson was scared and nervous and didn't answer him, Ezekiel kept telling him: - come on... don't lie to me, you are my friend and I know when you are telling lies - Hobson took a deep breath and said to him

-we only do the science research!

-It's just homework, Ezekiel. You don't have to worry.

The young people leave but they went their separate ways because Madysin had to go to the bathroom, Hobson was walking fast and all scared but at that moment Ezequiel arrives and throws him against the lockers, grabs his sweater and tells him:

-You better tell me what my girlfriend does every night with that loser Aiden! And this time tell me the truth, if you don't want me to kick your ass! Hobson was all scared, even babbling; Madysin was going to the bathroom but had forgotten his science book in the library and when he was on his way back he saw the young people, telling Ezekiel:

-When he let go, the young woman slapped him and continued to say, "I can't believe you've fallen so low, picking on my friends... I didn't know how to tell you this, but I see you've found the perfect motive. We're done! Ezekiel aggressively grabbed Madysin's hand and said:

-Hobson, seeing his friend in that situation, he took courage and said: "She doesn't love you, and much less people like you, bullies and conceited, you mess with us, the loser is not Aiden but your Ezekiel, so leave her alone.

Ezekiel releases Madysin and they both leave, annoyed the young man kicks the lockers cursing Aiden. On the other hand, Aiden and the others were in the park behind some bushes looking towards the library, you could see that there were many guards and the young people didn't know what to do to get into what Emma sees Adyson sitting outside a store she approaches with the others, she notices that the fashion sketch she had seen was torn and tells her:

-Adyson, what happened to your sketch? -Who did that to you?

-no... it was no one, I was looking for a leaf and I accidentally tore it up- Aiden takes the torn sketch and says:

-Let me see... but this was no accident Adyson, you can tell someone broke it-

-yes... that drawing is cool Ady, and if I had seen it before I would have torn it too- says Lenz

-Lenz, you're not helping! But... Why do you say that?

-is that it's so cool, that anyone would be jealous and tear it up...-

-a person with envy uh... who we know to be like that- says Aiden. Everyone except Adyson says Brithany, the young man keeps saying:

-don't let people like Brithany humiliate and obscure you... you have a very nice talent, you must think of yourself more than anything else-

- and it's cool... if you want I can be your assistant, of course when you feel ready to pursue your dreams- adds Lenz

-Okay I'll think about it... changing the subject What are you guys doing here? - everyone started thinking about what to say to her and Emma responded:

-We have to go into the library, get a book that Aiden left behind... but we can't go in with those guards at the entrance.

-a book ummm.... But most of those go to high school, they wouldn't have to go.

-It's a family value, her father gave it to her before he died and she doesn't want to dishonor her memory, right, Aiden?

-if it's true, it's one of the few things I have-

-Okay, you don't need to convince me anymore... I believe you, I will help you... look at this- says Adyson.

At that moment the girl tells a person who was jogging around to help her with her books but to go ahead and catch up with her. When she got far enough away Adyson shouted as if she had been robbed and the guards who were in the library ran out to help her and started chasing the person who had supposedly taken her things. Taking advantage of the moment, the three young men went to the library. As they arrived, Aiden said to them: -Seriously? They had to bring my father into this... please forgive me father I didn't want to do this; Once inside, Lenz stayed watching the entrance in case the guards came while Emma and Aiden went to Mr. Graham's room, they started looking for the chest and suddenly the young man felt as if something was talking to him and was telling him to check behind the bedside table, the two of them dragged it and checked the drawers inside but nothing, again Aiden heard the voices, The young man looked at it but didn't understand it until he hit it a few times and realized that it was hollow. Looking more closely, he saw a small crack and introducing a screwdriver that was there, he managed to remove it and there it was, a chest but this one was strange, it was as big as a science book and didn't have a lock, not even one with the shape of the necklace, it was very strange; Suddenly Lenz went upstairs and told them that one of the guards saw them and they were coming here.

The young people were desperate because they couldn't get out the way they came in, but Aiden remembered the entrance and decided to go that way. In the rush, the young man went up the hill just as Lenz was passing by, and his uniform jacket got stuck. The young men pulled Lenz out, but in the attempt the jacket was torn, leaving a piece on the other side. One of the guards managed to get that piece out and immediately contacted Mayor Palk saying: -we have something sir... we already know where the guard is coming from- amidst malicious laughter Palk says: -this is perfect, I will have to make some unexpected visits-.
