In The Secret Library, Zainab begins searching for the book Cosmic Codex. Within a short while, she finds it. Zainab becomes very happy, places the book before her, and sits down to read. As soon as she opens the book, a bright light comes out of it and enters Zainab's eyes. Then, on the first page of the book, these words appeared:
"This light will help the reader in discovering the secrets of this book."
After that, the words appeared:
"Who are you, and what do you want to know from this book?"
Zainab said: "I am a girl, and my name is Zainab. I am the possessor of a great magical power, The King of Sandail, and I want to learn the way by which my power in The King of Sandail can increase, so that I may destroy the great evil forces of the world."
The book then displayed these words:
"Zainab, your name has six letters. But in order to begin the journey of making The King of Sandail more powerful, you must permanently change your name. You must choose a name with seven letters. Now decide quickly what name you want to take, so that I can reveal to you the next stages."
Zainab thought for a while, and a name came to her mind — it was her mother's name, "Zeeniya." She became satisfied with it. Zainab said before the book: "From today, my name is Zeeniya."
As soon as Zeeniya said this, a light came out of the book and fell upon her right hand. The moment it touched her hand, a map appeared on it. Then words appeared on the book:
"Zeeniya, this map will help you in the journey that will begin to make The King of Sandail more powerful.""Zeeniya, from here at a distance of one day's journey, there is a vast ocean called Vornessa Ocean. While traveling across this ocean towards the north, after two days of journey, there will be an island named Zaforia Island. It is an uninhabited island, and within it there is a small mountain range. In this range, there is a mountain of dark black color. Inside that mountain is a cave, whose entrance is sealed with a door. You must find that cave."You have to find the house whose entrance is sealed with a door. When you reach that door, you must knock on it. As soon as you knock, a voice will come from behind the door: "Whoever answers two out of my three riddles correctly, for them this door will open."
Inside, you must use your mind to solve those riddles and open the door. Once the door opens, Zeeniya will enter the house. Inside a chest, there are six large crystals called Harmony. Zainab must obtain those Harmony crystals and begin the next part of the journey, which will lead to Seraphian Island. The map will reveal its location.
The people of this island are very unique. On this island, there is a sacred fruit tree deep in the forest. It is the only tree of its kind on the entire island, and it has stood there for thousands of years. The people of the island guard this tree with their lives.
Zeeniya, you must deal with the people of Seraphian Island very wisely and obtain the sacred fruit from the tree. Then, pour its juice onto the Harmony crystals. As soon as the juice touches them, the crystals will shine even brighter.
After this, you must leave the island immediately. From the map, you will learn the direction toward the North Pole, and begin your journey there. The North Pole is the northernmost point of the Earth. It remains covered with ice throughout the year and is constantly swept by icy winds.In the extremely cold months, the North Pole remains in darkness for 24 hours. Right now, it is the winter season there, and the temperature has dropped to –50 degrees. For any ordinary human, going there is impossible—it would be like inviting death. But Zeeniya possesses the power of The King of Sandial, and with this power she can enter the North Pole.
Once inside the North Pole, Zeeniya must use the map to search for a special tree whose branches, twigs, and leaves are as white as snow. This is the Tree of Power, the place where The King of Sandial was born.
Zeeniya, when you reach this tree, you must place your power of The King of Sandial upon one of its branches, and scatter the Harmony crystals at its roots. As soon as you spread the Harmony crystals over the roots, the tree will begin to shine intensely, and from that brilliance, a surge of light will awaken within The King of Sandial.And then it will fly straight into your arms—that is, into the arms of its master. At that moment, The King of Sandail will become so powerful that it will be able to destroy the world's greatest sorcerers and evil forces with ease.
After learning all of this, Zeeniya closed the book and came out of the cave, returning to her companions who were waiting for her. The map was in Zeeniya's hand. She ordered her companions to return to their tribe, for the rest of the journey she would complete alone.
Opening the map, Zeeniya studied the route toward the Vornessa Ocean. Then she commanded her power, The King of Sandail. In the very next moment, her horse transformed into a flying steed. Within moments, Zeeniya was soaring through the skies, riding her magical horse. The horse flew at great speed, and soon landed on a shore where the waves of the sea were crashing violently against the coast. Zeeniya realized she had reached her destination—the Vornessa Ocean.
She then ordered her power, The King of Sandail, to prepare a great sea ship for her. At her command, a mighty ship appeared on the ocean before her. Zeeniya boarded the ship, placed her finger on Zaforia Island on the map, and commanded the vessel to begin its voyage northward toward the island.And once the ship reached the open sea, it stopped at the island's edge. Zeeniya's sea voyage had now begun. The grand ship, adorned with every luxury, greatly pleased her.
She soon began to feel hungry and made her way toward the ship's kitchen. When she entered, she saw a dining table filled with all kinds of dishes. The food looked as though it had been freshly cooked and carefully arranged on the table. The delicious aroma made Zeeniya's hunger grow even stronger. She sat down and ate heartily until her stomach was full.
After finishing the meal, Zeeniya began to feel very sleepy. She walked toward her cabin on the ship. Because of the long and tiring journey, she was utterly exhausted. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she drifted away into the valleys of sleep.
When Zeeniya was asleep, it was sunset. But when she opened her eyes, she could not understand how long she had slept or what time it was now. Stepping out of her bedroom, she saw that the sun was directly overhead. Zeeniya was astonished at how long she had been asleep.
After taking a bath and having breakfast, she kept thinking about her onward journey—what Zaforia Island would be like, and what kind of riddles she might face there. Zeeniya had always been very intelligent, and she loved solving riddles and difficult questions. That is why she was eagerly waiting to reach the door of this trial.
In this way, two more days passed at sea. Then, one morning, the ship struck against a shore, and Zeeniya realized she had arrived at Zaforia Island.
She ate her breakfast, mounted her horse (which she had brought on the ship and which had now returned to its original form), and rode toward the island.
The island was breathtakingly beautiful—lush greenery everywhere, colorful flowering plants, melodious birds chirping in the trees, and orchards filled with different kinds of fruit trees. Seeing the island's beauty and peace, Zeeniya felt great joy. She plucked some fruits from the trees, ate them, and continued forward.
Before long, she entered a mountain range. After riding for about half an hour, at last Zeeniya saw a massive dark black mountain. She spurred her horse faster toward it. When she reached the Black Mountain, she noticed something unusual: there appeared to be a great door built into the mountain, sealing the entrance of a cave.As soon as Zeeniya knocked, a voice came from within the door:
"I will allow only that person to enter who can answer two out of my three riddles correctly."
Zeeniya, who had long been waiting for this very moment, immediately replied,
"O door, ask! What riddles do you have? I will answer them."
In the very next moment, the first riddle appeared, written upon the door:
Riddle No. 1:
"It moves but has no feet,
It speaks but has no tongue,
It touches but has no hands,
It blinks but has no eyes.
Tell me, what am I?"
Zeeniya read the riddle carefully. After thinking for a while, she answered:
"Air."
On the door it appeared: "Correct answer."
With that, the first riddle vanished, and the second one appeared.
Riddle No. 2:
"A small thing on one side,
Its feet are in the ground,
It bears no fruit, no flowers bloom,
Yet every day it brings light into the home.
Tell me, what am I?"
This riddle seemed strange to Zeeniya. She thought for quite a while and then said:
"A fireplace."
The door responded: "Wrong answer."
Finally, the last riddle appeared:
Riddle No. 3:
"I always move forward,
But I never grow tired.
Tell me, what am I?"
When Zeeniya read this riddle, she became happy because she already knew the answer. She replied:
"The answer is time."
The door wrote back: "Correct answer."
And with that, the door opened and Zeeniya stepped inside.
There she saw a chest. When she opened it, a bright light shone out, and inside she found six large crystals. Zeeniya quickly took them with her and hurried out of the cave. She mounted her horse and galloped swiftly toward the seashore, determined to begin the next part of her journey.
Once aboard the ship, she placed the crystals—called Harmony in the book Cosmic Codex—into a secure box. Then she spread the map before her and placed her finger on Seraphian Island, commanding the ship to take her there. The ship set sail at once.
Zeeniya, exhausted from the entire day's quest, ate her dinner quickly and went to sleep in her cabin. Soon she was lost in dreams.
The next morning, she spent her time gazing at the vast sea, all the while thinking about her coming trial—how she would face the wild people of Seraphian Island and how she might obtain the juice of the sacred fruit.
After a full day and night of sailing, at dawn the following morning, Zeeniya's ship reached the shores of Seraphian Island. She ate breakfast quickly, hid the box of Harmony crystals inside a secret pocket of her robe, and set off toward the island.
But now the question remains:
Will Zeeniya be able to confront those wild islanders?
Will she succeed in persuading them to give her the sacred tree's fruit juice?
Or will they cause harm to Zeeniya?
We will see all this in Season 14, in the next part!
And yes—remember, the riddle Zeeniya
could not answer, you must write its answer in the comments. Let's see if you are more intelligent than Zeeniya!
