The Secrets of the Elements

Chapter 13: Time To Take Action

"Finally," said Daksh hiding behind the bushes as he saw a black car pull over.

"Wait," said Maya. "The meter shows some negative energy around."

"Should we go ahead or not?" questioned Ray. "Let's wait for a while," suggested Maya glancing at the meter.

Advika rubbed her palms and peeped out of the window. "I don't see anyone here," she said. "What if somebody is hiding behind those bushes?" wondered Zarna, pointing at the bushes on both sides of the road.

"Okay," said Maya. "All good now."

Tej stepped out of the car and put his mask on. "Feels like robbery," said Ray as he pulled up his mask and stepped out of the car. The girls followed suit.

They carefully headed towards the temple; looking around them, careful not to be seen.

"Wait," said Ray. "How did this lock open so easily?" he wondered as he pulled out the hairpin from the lock. "It's good, right? Now let's get in," said Maya. "Something's not right," whispered Advika.

Tej stepped inside; the others followed.

They headed towards the wall where they had found the symbol. Advika kept her hand on the Earth symbol, Tej on Fire, Zarna on Water, Maya on Air, and Ray on the Sky symbol.

Daksh cautiously closed the main gates of the temple behind him. "Lock the gate," he said to the old man and headed towards the temple.

The five friends heard soft music play. "Advika," said Tej and motioned her to go ahead. Advika closed her eyes and focussed on her breathe; entering the state of thoughtlessness. All she could hear was the sound of soft music. She took a step ahead towards the womb chamber of the temple and paused for a brief moment. She could feel the positive energy coming from within the chamber. The others followed her, unaware of the fact that somebody else was following them too.

It was dark in the womb chamber. Everyone except Advika removed their cellphones and switched on the flashlight. Tej stood close to Advika. "Ouch!" she almost screamed as she lost her balance. Tej caught her hand in time.

"Woooo!" said Ray. "A secret underground tunnel," he said as they looked at the sliding ground below them. "Hold this," said Tej as he gave his phone to Maya motioning her to hold it above him so that he could see clearly. "How do we go down? I see no stairs and unfortunately, we aren't carrying any rope," said Maya.

"That's because it works on the Master's command, and that's me," whispered Daksh. "But it never reveals itself, how and why did it do that?" he wondered.

"Let's just jump, can't be that deep, is it?" wondered Zarna and sat on her knees, peeping down the underground tunnel-like opening they had just found. "That's crazy," said Maya. "Tej, I'll jump and see, or you go, you're taller than me," said Ray adjusting his headband. "I'll go," said Tej and sat at the opening with his legs hanging down. "Careful," said Advika, breathing heavily.

Should I let them enter the room or no? Daksh thought. Let them go, maybe they'll get what I'm looking for.

"Make all the unseen seen," whispered Daksh and closed his eyes.
