Jezebel-The Sleeping Beauty (Part 5- The Secret Chamber)

(Mary was talking to Clara about Surah and her curse.)

I have no courage to act anymore and for nothing the time I spend.

Having no hope, I decided to follow the path of the fate almost to the end.’

‘You know that beyond it, there’s oblivion and death. Thus, you have to fight! ‘

‘I can’t change Surah to what I would like her to be, but you’re right.’

‘My dear Mary, I have an unbeatable plan, because the time is short.

On her birthday, when Frederick will come back with his wedding escort,

You will go to the castle to ask Jezebel to come here one day to stay.

Remember, there is no hunger when in the deep forest there is no prey.’

‘But, my dear Clara, Anne is so scared, she will never accept in that day

To keep Jezebel far away from her, though she will feel safe here staying to pray.’

‘The curse has the effect all day long, only that day, so we can be home at night.’

‘The next day, they will marry. In the darkness, with demons, I will be able to fight.’

(Surah was searching some poisoning and medicinal herbs on the wild slopes of the mountain. Clayton was walking around.)

Surah stopped to rest on a crest, and she felt something as a raindrop.

She smelled a cool air emerging from the crevice of a rocky outcrop.

She realized that a great cave could be existent in that natural wonder.

She heard a rumbling sound, and she thought that it was a thunder.

She saw the waterfall, which was hiding behind it the entrance of a cave.

The cave was too low for her to enter, and to do this she wasn’t so brave.

She asked Clayton to crawl inside, but he noticed that the entire entrance

Was blocked with rocks and vegetation, and to enter they had no chance.

‘No person ventured here to remove the underbrush and the rubbish.

I heard that a wild beast lives in this zone having the teeth very pinkish.’

Returning the next day with ten village people, they entered spelunkers.

With the aid of lights, they slowly became the beast legend’s debunkers.

They renewed their visits daily, proceeding a little farther each time.

They unlocked the entrance and entered a little room, which was sublime.

It was followed by a narrow passage, which was leading to a secret chamber.

‘I’m tired’, said Surah, ‘ because reaching this crest was a real clamber’.

They started to break an amount of rock off by using tools before

They penetrated the distance to enter the passage. They heard a boar.

‘We are inside’, said Clayton. ‘After a half of an hour, we will need a pause.’

The passage was interrupted by a chamber. There, they saw some jaws.

It was a king chamber having white walls and a height of forty feet.

‘I’m exhausted enough’, said Surah.’ I’m thirsty, and I have nowhere to sit.’

‘The walls have white travertine deposits of flagstone and brimstone.’

Surah slipped and fell down on the floor. She let out a long, deep moan.

Fossils of sea lilies, shellfish and snails could be seen in the limestones;

The slightly acidic groundwater slowly dissolved the bedrock to make cones.

Along joints, fractures and bedding planes forming passages and rooms,

They walked on a floor sounding like broken crockery and creating booms.
