Chapter 24 The Calling.
The sky was gray and dark as Kluna and Zin were headed for the Great Lake of Osmikea in hopes to bring light to this situation. A low rumble of thunder was heard as our heroes were passing familure landscapes from their previous oddessy. But the fimilure landscapes were dead and no life exist. The Great River of Sailas was black and an errie fog rose above it. The forest looked burned but yet the trees were not burnt but cursed by the blackness of the plegue that griped the northern land. And to Zin's thought he pondered "What kind of power or black magic does this Argalyth hold? Nothing like anything the Omega Relec held!"
Soon our heroes made there way out of the forest and onto the beach near the Great Lake of Osmikea. The lake looked dead with carcases of the lake beasts floating within and on the beach.
"This is it, we made it to the lake. We will get a raft and seek her out."
"You want us to cross that Zin. Look at it, this place is cursed!"
"So what we have been through a lot ever since we came to this cursid land! We have nothing else to do but this! I never intended this to happen to us. But it did, and we just have to live with it. We may never get back home to Mudos! I don't know whats going to happen to us but this is an adventure that only we have expierence. Just think we are now heroes to these races and soon our deeds will spread across the rest of Oddworld. When our friends back home find out about this, they will build a statue to honor us. We are kings my friend." explaned Zin.
"But I am just afraid of dieing." replied Kluna.
"Kluna we all know we are going to die one day its just a matter of how you control your life. The lake is our destiny we must seek Osmikea out and I must find out these mysteries. The Argalyth, My dealings with the Dark spirit and could it have anything to do with the Argalyth itself and do I have a connection with it."
"Then lets go!" said Kluna.
Meanwhile deep in the frozen north beyond the Junk Waist the Zileans were moveing the strange black object onto a loading platform when suddenly the object started to pulsate.
"Bleak na!" yelled one of the Zileans which ment Look!
And to their surprise the strange black rectangular lyth rose out of the box it was being held in. It hovered over all the frighten Zileans as they ran out of there into the Blizzard like tundra.
"My odd what is happening here!"
The Black Monolyth started to hum as the Zileans were looking southward towards the Junk Waists and the once lush portion of the continent of Sailas. They saw nothing but darkness that stretched for 1000's of miles to the coast. Even through the blinding snow storm they could see this phonomina. And they can see the blackness comeing from this Monolyth like smoke riseing from a large fire. But what they dident realise was that this black rectangular Monolyth that they have been holding for years of study, is the ancient Argalyth of Power that our heroes and the rest of Sailas are currently looking for.
At the same time Zin started to shake as he began to see more images of the Argalyth in his mind.
"Kluna its...its calling me. The voices the Black object its calling me!"
"Whats wrong with Zin?" said Bleak.
"Bleak row faster we have to get to Osmikea. I don't know whats happening with my friend but we must hurry! Hang in there Zin we will find Osmikea to help us out and we will find this Argalyth for what ever it is!" said Kluna.
