After the sorcerer left, Zainab became very anxious because, despite using magic, she could not defeat him. On the contrary, the sorcerer had threatened her. If she had not possessed the King of Sundial, the sorcerer would have burned her and her tribe to ashes.
Zainab thought that she needed to make her powers stronger and more powerful, because the one she was facing was no ordinary sorcerer. With this worry and thought, she kept wondering how she could strengthen her power and the King of Sundial. Thinking about this, she eventually fell asleep and saw a dream thatThere was a basement filled with many books, looking like a library. On a table lay a large, old book. Zainab stopped when she reached the book, and just as she tried to open its cover, her eyes suddenly opened. She brushed it off as an ordinary dream, drank some water, and went back to sleep.
In the morning, she became busy with her daily chores, but in her mind, the same worry lingered—how could she make her powers even stronger? That night, when Zainab slept again, she once more saw the same library and the same book lying on the table.That day, just as she tried to open the book, her eyes opened again. Zainab wondered why the same dream had come to her once more. While thinking about it, she drifted back to sleep.
The next day, she became entangled in matters of governance and forgot about the dream. But on the third night, Zainab saw the same dream again. This time, when she woke up, she felt a deep sense of unease.
Zainab decided that in the morning she would definitely speak to her Prime Minister about it. So, in the morning, Zainab summoned her Prime Minister and told him all the details of her dream—how for three consecutive nights she had seen the same dream, and just as she tried to open the book, her eyes always opened.
The Prime Minister decided that the royal astrologer should be summoned so he could interpret the meaning of the dream.The royal astrologer, who was very old, straightforward, and wise, listened carefully to Zainab's dream. After half an hour of calculation and deep thought, he finally spoke:
"This is not just an ordinary dream, but a sign. The library you see is no ordinary library—it is the library, and its name is The Secret Library. The book you see on the table is no common book. Within its pages are recorded the details of the most powerful magic and mystical forces in the world.
It also contains everything about the strongest magical power of this world—the King of Sundial. And within that book lies the secret of how to make this power even stronger. The title of the book is The Cosmic Codex."After hearing all this, a wave of joy ran through Zainab's heart. The dream that had troubled her for so many days was actually a sign pointing toward the solution to her worries.
Zainab asked the astrologer where this Secret Library was located and how she could reach it. The astrologer replied that only one who possessed great power could enter the library. Since Zainab had the King of Sundial, she was capable of entering it, finding the book, and reading its secrets.
Hearing this, Zainab said, "That is fine, but tell me clearly—where is this library located, and how can I reach it?"The astrologer explained: "About ten kilometers from here lies the Joshi tribe. The people of that tribe are very hospitable and kind-hearted. If someone from another tribe visits them—and is not proven to be their enemy—they treat the guest with great honor. If you, Zainab, go there with your delegation under the pretense of establishing diplomatic relations, they will surely give you a warm welcome.
Within their territory lies a mountain range known as the Al Moriya Hills. If you enter this range and travel some distance, you will come across a cave of reddish color. When you step inside this cave, you will be met with complete darkness.
At that moment, you must place the King of Sundial upon your palm and raise your hand slightly. The cave will then be filled with radiant light. In that brilliant glow, a doorway will appear on the ground. When you open this door, you will see a staircase leading downward. By descending those stairs, Zainab, you will finally reach the Secret Library."The next steps would be revealed from the Cosmic Codex. From the following day, Zainab began preparing for her journey, because she did not know how long it might take or what secrets the Cosmic Codex might hold, or how much time it would take to return.
She created a safety shield over her tribe and entrusted the governance to her Prime Minister, taking a few ministers with her as she set out toward the Joshi tribe.
At the entrance gate of the Joshi tribe, their soldiers stopped them and asked who they were and what their purpose was in entering their land. One of Zainab's companions replied, "We are from the Zargoon tribe, and this is our princess, Zainab. We have heard that your land is very beautiful, and your people are very friendly and hospitable. Our princess wishes to visit your land and extend a hand of friendship toward your governance."The soldiers respectfully seated Zainab and her companions in a camp outside the entrance gate and went to seek permission from their chief. After a short while, the soldiers returned and said, "Our chief was very pleased to hear about you. He has heard much about Princess Zainab's powers. His order is that you all be brought to the palace with full honor as royal guests."
At the palace, the chief of the Joshi tribe gave them a warm and grand welcome, showing them great hospitality. The next day, Zainab requested permission from the chief to tour the region. The chief sent one of his soldiers along with her as a companion for the journey through the land.When they reached near the Al Moriya Hills, Zainab ordered everyone to stay behind, saying that she would return shortly. She rode forward on her horse, and after traveling a little distance, she saw a reddish-colored mountain cave.
Zainab entered the cave, and as soon as she stepped inside, complete darkness surrounded her. Following the astrologer's instructions, she took out the King of Sandial, held it in her hand, and raised her arm. Instantly, the entire cave was bathed in radiant light.Zainab saw a door on the ground. When she opened it, a staircase appeared leading downward. She descended the stairs step by step until she entered a chamber resembling a vast library. At once, she understood—this was the Secret Library.
Quickly, she began searching for the book. Within moments, she found one titled Cosmic Codex. Zainab picked it up, placed it on the table, and opened it to read.
But what will happen next? What secrets lie written within the book? Will Zainab discover the mystery of power through it?
