"How is searching and seeking knowledge a crime! Knowing is not evil! Why would you forbid it if you know that people would just want to seek it out even more!" Iris shot back
"It's forbidden because of the Risk it puts the world, and the Balance we've so carefully cultivated at risk. The research of the Poneglyphs, or of the Ancient Weapons is like building a bomb, and lighting the fuse right after you finish it." Spoke the 4th Elder.
Iris gripped her fist, and grit her teeth tight before snapping back "That Bullshit! The Poneglyphs are a Part of history! If their so bad then why not learn from their contents! Learn what not to do!" She was cut off by Feall
"Watch your tongue! Think well of your words in the presence of the Elders!" He snapped with a furrowed brow.
But the elders didn't pay mind to the insolence "If we allowed that, then the world would be in chaos from all those interpreting the knowledge differently. At least one would figure it best to use that knowledge to destroy the world, or find the Ancient Weapons. And that cannot be permitted." Spoke the 6th
"But before your punishment goes through. We would like to hear your plea in more detail. What exactly is it that you have found? What did you decipher from the Poneglyphs?" Spoke the 2nd. The elders were in the grand room on the Red Line looking between each other with serious looks. Their decision was already made, but they needed to hear just how much had been uncovered. It would be false to say that they were not concerned, each having their own thoughts on how to exactly handle this situation
"Tovara is of great use to the World Government. But with the Potential unveiling and learning of those Mass-Destructive Weapons of the Ancient World, we must know just what you've uncovered. Your punishment may not be rash if you tell the truth."
The World Government had no qualms with people partaking in archeology or old history. Tovara was a grand symbol of their Coalition to show their strength and genius to have the Island of Scholars associated with them
Iris knew it was a lie. But there was that potential truth that her daughter would be safe, and would permit them all more time to escape…As they were speaking there were at least a few people that were trying to make it to the Tovara west coast to load onto ships to leave.
Clover was keeping keen ears open to make sure that the CPA agents were right outside the Door.
"I as the High Scholar of Tovara have been the head of Research into the Blank History, and the Entire Void Millennium, we've found tapestries, tomes, scrolls, and various other articles and items that were inscribed with a language that we could not decipher."
"We've been in possession of the Poneglyph for longer than I can remember. It was here when I was first born, and before that. It seems to have been in our possession for a very long time."
This made the Elders look at each other with worry and concern. "But the only thing we know is that the Poneglyph we possess mentions that there are many more like it, and that they would contain a Grand Tale of history unlike anything seen in the world before."
"It speaks of how a Thousand Years ago, there was a Kingdom, a Grand Grand Kingdom. Its influence in the ancient world cannot be underestimated. By their standards they were advanced. But despite the supposed good that they brought, they had enemies. I can surmise this from the fact that these poneglyphs are not in a library, they are not in a grand archive. But scattered throughout the world, in the strangest of places. From the bottom of the sea in trenches where nothing can be found for miles around, to even in the sky."
"And from that theory, I guess that the only other coalition that could've faced them and won and caused them to be fearful of their own erasure from history, are those original 30 Kingdoms that formed the Organization now known as the World Government."
The Elders grimaced deeply at this revelation. Looking between each other with such trepidation that one may even consider it fear. The 4th had his teeth, fist gripped tight.
"Your silence tells me enough…Would you like to hear the Name of the Ancient Kingdom?" Iris gave a grin, body relaxing as she took a deep breath. "It's name is-"
"KILL HER!" Spoke the 1st Elder in a surprise shout that Caused the electronic to sound echoed and static filled.
Following the Order before She could finish her breath, Feall pulled a c93 Semi Automatic Pistol, his personal side arm, and fired off three shots into Iris! The lead exited through the barrel and zipped through the air! Blood spraying out the back of Iris a fraction of a second later! Stopping her words entirely…
Everyone that was lined up, watched as the world seemed to move slowly, watching the body of the woman that they all looked to, they all turned to at moments of deliberation and to learn from, begin to fall through the air with blood soaking through her tank top. Only to then fall harshly against the ground with a muted thud. Blood poured out around her.
Raven's eyes shot wide as she shot up and forward! Only for Emmetts hands to grab her a moment later! Her sobs cry out into the hand of the old man, tears pouring down her face like rivers of sorrow. "Shhh…Shh Shhhh…" Emmett attempted to soothe the sobbing child, but his voice was beginning to break as he too began to cry. "Shhhhh…."
Raven's face was red from tension, as her eyes were beginning to turn red and sore from the tears. Her small heart, left in shards like a fragile vase shattering against the ground…
