Synan has been sitting against a wall
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
in the Book Temple for a few hours. Sarah
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
has been sitting at her desk writing studiously.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Sarah, can I get up now?” Syrus asks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“No, you can not.” Sarah says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Why not?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“You know why. Never swear in my
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
temple again.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Come on, Sarah.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“No. Now just sit there and be quiet.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Syrus is really bored. He’s been doing
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
nothing but complaining all this time. Syrus takes
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
out his Gameboy and starts playing. Sarah can’t
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
hear the sounds from the Gameboy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Syrus is playing a game made by
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MystSages, inc. The game is called Cain’s Quest.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is about a kid who is mistakenly sent to a
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
strange island. Syrus hasn’t gotten very far into
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
the game yet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As Syrus continues playing, he notices
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
some major similarities between this game and
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
real life. Sarah looks over at Syrus.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Are you playing Cain’s Quest?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Yeah.” Syrus answers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Did you know that Veronica wrote
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
the plot for that game?” Sarah asks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“She did not.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Bet.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Okay, how did she?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“She knows everything, remember. She
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wrote that plot about what was going to happen
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
in the future. When you’re done with your quest
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
on The Land of No Return, you beat that game
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and see for yourself.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Sarah, I swear you’ve lost it.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Hey! No swearing! Now you have to
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
stay there for ten more hours.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Uggh!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Don’t start with me!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Syrus sits, quietly playing his game.
