Tales of the Supremes 68 SOURCE

The statues' eyes emitted rays and directed it to the trio seemingly scanning their body.

The two statues didn't see any anomaly.

"From the looks of it, your just a child. So, how could you enter here?" The statue at the right asked, but to its dismay, the trio didn't open their mouth.

Kalipsi and Uno didn't know the answer to it. But Tala, they believe he knows it.

"If you don't want to answer, then, we don't have anything to talk about." The statue at the right side seemed upset.

"I'm not sure how to explain it, so can you just brush it off?" Tala looked at them with her puppy eyes.

That earned puzzlement by both sides who looked at her with blank expression.

"Tsk. I thought my charms will work," she mumbled, but both sides heard her clear and concise.

Silence...

The left side statue broke out the silence with a peal of laughter.

It faced its co-statue. "We have never met such a funny child for who knows how long. This one seems a good one."

"Don't be fooled. They are here for the diamond for sure." The right side statue reminded.

"I know. I know!"

Tala did not waste time anymore and asked, "I bet that that diamond is losing its energy slowly. Well, no one could deny that it hang on this long."

Her speech made the two statues' sight darken.

"How did you know?" The right side statue asked with its eyes looking at Tala seriously.

"Simple. Its energy emitting is not that powerful anymore."

"How can you tell? Have you seen one beside this one here?" The right side statue harrumphed.

Tala didn't waver to nod her head.

She has seen a lot from her previous life!

At their land. Diamonds also planted on every corner of their land to protect it from outside forces.

But the diamond she was seeing now seemed a little different. She knew that the wall can allow someone to go out from inside, but it will not allow someone from outside to enter a center premise.

She deduced that it was it's characteristic.

That diamond really did loose almost two-third of its energy.

The two statues looked at each other in disbelief. That diamond could only be harvested by Guardians, so, how could the young man see one?

They could say that the child wasn't lying from his looks.

The statues became more sensitive to the issue. They thought that it wasn't a simple matter.

"Then, how will you achieve your goal?" The left side statue asked.

With her cute little voice, Tala said, "Just give me that diamond."

The statues darken their sight.

"How audacious of you!" The right side statue's voice showed a tinge of infuriation.

"That diamond has no use anymore. No matter what you do, it will just be wasted there."

If the statues could wrinkle their faces, they will be seeing their twisted expression.

Tala right side statue laughed sarcastically. "Young lass, I think you didn't know what is the purpose of this diamond. I will let you go, so go and put your words on your pocket."

"I'm telling the truth," Tala was going to say more when an annoyed voice reverberated to the hall, loud and clear. "GET OUT!" It was the left side statue. It can accept any words but not about the diamond. Their sole purpose of existing was to guard it after all.

"That diamond maintained the wall, but you didn't know that the wall is slowly crumbling. Its energy couldn't sustain it anymore." Tala enunciated.

"Wall? what's wall?" Uno and Kalipsi asked simultaneously, looking pensively at Tala.

Tala has so many secrets that they wanted to know, but they couldn't ask directly, afraid to made him distance the two.

"I'll explain it later."

The two statues became quiet for some times. They couldn't fathom the words of the young man, but they did know the purpose of the diamond. To sustain a wall of the land!

'If you're telling the truth, then, it is more right to let the diamond stay here," the right side statue refuted.

"I have the means to sustain the wall, but I need that diamond."

Tala's words earned bafflement by the statues.

Kalipsi and Uno listened attentively hoping to understand them.

Tala didn't wait for the statues to talk as she continued, "You can come with us too."

If the statues could knit their brows, Tala might have seen them.

"How?" The left side statue immediately ask. "For your information, we couldn't step out of this place. If we did, we will shatter into smithereens. So, how would you able to let us out?" Its voice was serious.

The two statues solemnity looked at Tala.

Instead of replying, Tala showed her hand. With a little wave of her it, a golden ring emerged from her ring finger.

That scene made the two statues gawked.

Kalipsi and Uno were surprised at her ring. As far as they knew, rings weren't capable of concealing under their body.

'Is it really possible?' The two couldn't fathom the situation.

After a minute of silence, the two statues kneeled down and bowed respectfully.

The left side statue parted its lips saying, "We are sorry for being blind. Our disrespectful behaviors are unforgivable. Please, punish us."

"Please, punish us!" The right side statue repeated.

"_" Uno and Kalipsi.

'What is going on?' The two were now more confused.

"I'm not here to punish either one of you. I'm here to collect the diamond."

"But-" before the two could refute, Tala stopped them by her words.

"If you don't mind, can the two of you step aside from the diamond. It will cause riffles of energy when I try to get it that may be harmful to both of you."

"As you wish," the two stood side by side with Kalipsi and Uno.

"_" Kalipsi and Uno

'When did these two became so obedient?'

Just earlier, the two statues stood almighty in front of them as if they can claim their life if they made an unwanted gesture.

That was the only moment that Uno and Kalipsi found out how big the two statues were. They looked up just to say their rough faces.

Tala approached the diamond whilst ordering, "Made a wall. A wall that will not break even with your strength."

"As you wish." The two statues raised their hands and moved it in a circle. As they did that, rays of white light followed their hands' movements until it was big enough to accommodate the four of them.

"Finished," the right side statue sounded.

Tala nodded in confirmation.

Without further delay, Tala approached the diamond. Surging her heavenly energy to her hands, covering it. She touched the diamond and slowly lifted it but the diamond seemed to resist.

Tala surged more of her heavenly energy. The diamond emitted a riffle of energy. A dazzling light seemed to dance inside the hall and winds suddenly gush circling the diamond.

Fortunately, the energy Tala was using was her heavenly energy. If not, the energy the diamond should be emitting was enough to destroy the land a kilometer distance.

Seeing that sight, the left side statue couldn't help but comment, "Really he is."

The right side statue nodded.

Its words reached the ears of Kalipsi and Uno.

"What do you mean?" Kalipsi asked.

"Huh!?" The two statues looked at each other in puzzlement.

Their reaction made Kalipsi and Uno felt something is wrong. Something they didn't understand, but they are unable to figure it out.

"Did he not tell you his origin?" The left side statue asked.

As an honest lad, the two shook their head.

"It's not our business to tell you his origin. Just ask him personally, he sure will respond." The right side statue commented.

'Did these statues knew somehow the origin of Tala?' Kalipsi thought the possibility. 'The moment Tala shows his ring, these two became obedient. Might start my investigation to his ring.' Kalipsi made up his mind.

Noticing that they couldn't squeeze much information, Uno changed the topic. "How long did you guarding the diamond?"

"We haven't seen the sun after we are made, so we didn't know much. But if you can tell us how long has it pass when the wall was built, then, that's how long we have stayed here."

"Wall? We've been hearing this word but we haven't clue what's this wall all about." Kali psi commented.

"Huh? Didn't you know about the wall?" The left side statue asked for confirmation.

Kalipsi and Uno nodded simultaneously.

"Weird." The left side statue murmured as it looked at the other statue.
