Chapter 3: The Forest
"" This morning around 3:15 am, a mysterious quake shook the city of Satan City. It has been classified into Category 2 by the Scientific Center in Satan City. So it was a very slight tremor. The Epi Center can be pretty much pinpointed on a street in the city center. The scientists are puzzled because the cause of the quake cannot be determined at all. Soun Hibiki (resourceful, I know!), The head of geology at the Satan City Scientific Center, will now speak on this subject. Please, Mr. Hibiki! "-" In fact, the cause of the quake is very mysterious. Because it cannot be determined. There are no plate boundaries or volcanic activity near Satan City. There are also no underground cavities or mine shafts that could possibly have triggered such a quake when they collapsed. We are faced with a mystery. And worst of all, unless we know what the cause of the quake was, we cannot predict a new one."-" So we are helpless at the mercy of nature! Dear fellow citizens of Satan City, I ask you not to panic now. If there is another quake, lie flat on the ground. And if you are on the road at this time, beware of falling trees and falling bricks. A special on earthquakes will be broadcast following the Satan City News. So stay tuned! We'll continue with the latest sports news ... ""
“Idiots!” Diana put her books away and put on sports gear. `A round of jogging will do me good. Those idiots! You always have to panic if you can't explain something. It's always good for the audience. All of Satan City is likely to be watching this special now. With this thought, she left her apartment. She had taken a vacation (in the bar) for the next two weeks to study properly for her exams.
It was a very good decision after she was almost late for her lecture earlier this morning. But that didn't mean that she would sit over the books all the time because of it. She had also arranged to meet Videl and Son Gohan for tonight. She had found them both more than nice and after Gohan's help in the bar, she thought it was fair to invite them over for a drink.
She ran quickly but easily towards the outskirts to walk from there through the forest. That's where she loved to run. She had never met anyone there while running and she loved solitude. It was just lovely. The lush may green of the plants, the fresh air and nobody to disturb you. She still had this fondness for the forest, after all, she had spent the first 10 years of her life in one. She always felt at home and protected somehow. Hitomi was always scared when they walked deep into the forest.She had always said then that it seemed to her as if he had a soul of his own and probably didn't like her very much. Diana found her just too scared. Fear in the forest, how ridiculous ...
She had walked here so many times before, and yet she hadn't discovered all the ways. As always, she walked along the main path, but this time turned right onto a beaten path that led directly into the center of the forest. She found it noticeably quiet here today, not a bird could be heard and slowly the foliage above her grew thicker and thicker. The trees were very tall. but were quite far apart. In addition, there was hardly any vegetation on the ground. `` Certainly because of the dense canopy of leaves, hardly any light comes through. But that's strange! It's really scary here, so dark and so quiet! `it slowed down and finally stopped completely. She had never felt like this in a forest. The air was absolutely still and heavy. The atmosphere seemed almost overwhelming.At that moment she could suddenly begin to empathize with what Hitomi had always felt. `Don't piss your pants, pull yourself together! When she looked down she saw that the beaten path was no longer there. Startled, she turned around and found that she hadn't even left footprints. `Oh no, I hope I'll find my way back! Oh, I can do it! `She ran back slowly and tried to find her way around, but to no avail. For over an hour she had walked into the forest without realizing that the path was no longer there. It seemed to her that she had followed an impulse rather than the path. Standing again, she turned in all directions and tried to see the edge of the forest or at least the road, but no result. It was now 5 p.m. and it was slowly getting dark. `If only I hadn't dreamed like this, I would be a fool! `desperately she just ran in some direction and tried to find a way out.` If I keep walking in one direction, I'll be late for my appointment with Videl and Gohan, but I'll get out of here !!!`Diana ran and ran and ran. Surprised by her condition, she accelerated and ran through the sparse undergrowth. She began to sweat profusely, but it was cold sweat that only formed on her forehead and back. It was sweat of fear.
But suddenly they lost their strength. She had come to a clearing. The only problem was that it was the same one she had run past in three quarters of an hour. "Oh no," she whimpered. "I'll never find my way out of here!"
The clearing was about 10 m wide and 15 m long, so not very big. In the twilight the tall bushes at the edge of the clearing could still be seen. In the middle was a large, flat boulder.
She sat down on it sadly and looked at her watch. 19:45. `Sorry you two, looks like I'll have to move you guys! if only that were my only worry! `
With her head hanging, she thought hard about whether to spend the night in the clearing and move on in the morning, or whether to use the whole night to search.A difficult decision.
* knax * she woke up. 'What was that? That didn't sound like a cute squirrel! Stay cool, Diana, take it easy! `
Slowly she turned in the direction from which the sound had come. But she only saw the thick bushes. There wasn't much to see anymore, twilight had set in and it was already quite dark. `Just a rabbit for sure, or something ... please let it be a rabbit! No no, a rabbit is not more than 1.5 meters tall ... `
* knax * * rustle *
There it was again. With wide eyes and terrible fear that forbade her to move, even to breathe, she stared at the noisy bushes.
Chapter 4: Findings
He had spent the rest of the night in the palace library. The search had only been successful well after sunrise, however. It was called "The Seal" and he could still remember very well that he had seen it somewhere before.And he found it. In a book that a god shouldn't own, one about occultism. But under the pretext that you had to know about the techniques of the competition, he kept it at the time. A good decision! At 8 o'clock earth time, Dende came into the library with a glass of water and asked him if he had found the solution to the riddle. The older one then showed him the picture of a very wide silver chain with a flat green stone in the middle, where there is usually a pendant. On the yellowed paper, of course, none of this was so easy to see. Then he showed him the text that was under the picture and asked him to read it. `The little one should know what it was that got him out of bed yesterday. he thought. "What kind of language is that? I don't know it! That is probably a very old book, huh?" Piccolo replied with a growl and began to translate the text out loud: "The seal.Jewelry from the 2nd age, 3rd century. Served to contain magical powers. If a druid or sorcerer violated the highest commandment, this ribbon was put on him to enclose his power. It has no clasp and only opens after the wearer dies. Contained even the most powerful wizards. At the end of the Second Age, black and white magicians tried to impose the seal on each other in order to switch off the opposing party. After hundreds of failed attempts, the tape disappeared without a trace. According to a vision that the heads of both the black and white magicians had, the seal should only reappear when a worthy bearer is born. It is not intended to serve as a punishment, but as protection. The wearer is then knocked down when he has fully learned the powers of magic. Another person should then release the seal from the wearer. The seal can only be removed once.If it is closed again around the neck of the chosen one, his powers are closed forever. But if someone else tries to remove the tape, he will be sent to eternal damnation and swallowed up by the earth. "
Dende looked worriedly into the older man's eyes. "You're not going to try to remove it, are you? You mustn't! What if it's not you, what if the legend isn't true? Piccolo, that's too risky!" - "I'll do it!" It suddenly seemed as if an unbridled fire and burned the eyes of the great Namek. His curiosity was more than aroused, she controlled him. He needed some kind of confirmation that he could be of use for something. He just wanted to know if it was him. His intuition told him it was him. He didn't believe in the rest of it anyway. Just senseless chatter. If it were true, he would have noticed it long ago.
"I did not finish reading the text, it still says that the world is facing a huge danger at the same time, which cannot be removed without the bearer of the seal.It's not just about physical strength. I'll go see her tonight. I'm going to rest now. "With these words he drank the water that Dende had brought him and moved towards the exit." Don't disturb! "He added in his friendly manner and disappeared.
"This Piccolo, he'll burn his fingers. What kind of book is that anyway? Occult? I wouldn't have thought that of him! This rascal." the little one closed the book, put it on the shelf and left the library. When he looked outside, he saw Piccolo in the middle of the platform. He meditated.
"Such an old stubborn head, well, he's old enough to know what he's doing!", He left the platform, shaking his head.
