The Island of Destiny
You wander down the right passage, holding the lantern in front of you. The cave walls are smooth and cold as you trail your hand against the wall walking down the tunnel. You stop to observe some crude drawings that look like someone trying to write letters or symbols. But they appear so scrawled that you cannot decipher them into anything meaningful. There are some shapes clearly triangular but that doesn't help you understand anything either.
The tunnel continues to wind its way deeper through the rock and it gradually transitions lower into the ground. Walking downhill actually becomes tiring on your legs. You begin to contemplate your whole situation. How long have you been gone now? You had so much that you had planned to get done too the day you left too....
You pass by a section of the cave wall that is colored different than the others. Stopping and retracing a few of your steps, you realize that you actually passed a smaller side tunnel leading off to the right. There is a strange bright blue light emanating from the smaller tunnel. It looks somewhat like skylight, but something tells you that it's not.
You walk down the path and in a few minutes step in to a room unlike anything you've ever seen. You are in a room tiled with black marble stone and a small man made pool of water before you. There are some steps around the pool that lead up to a risen level with a banister. There are some statues and artwork around the room that seem to be of a Grecian or Roman influence. As you walk closer to the black stone walls, you are amazed to find small numbers etched everywhere into the wall. However unlike the crude writings outside, these are written neat and were clearly made by a meticulous hand.
It takes you a while to collect your bearings. Especially when you discover that the light bluish radiance is coming from an undefined ceiling where blue clouds and fog hang from what seems hundreds of feet above you. What is this room, you wonder. Inspecting the numbers more closely, you find mathematical operations and realize in awe that the whole room has one gigantic equation written on it. You find the three numbers from your dream "56-4-89" on the center portion of the wall. You find that they are colored differently than the others, with a tint of gold to their carving.
You brush the numbers with your hand. Behind you, you hear water begin to trickle in to the small pool from a dormant fountain. The water begins to swirl around in the pool. Standing over the banister, you watch as the lightly treading waters, grow more forceful until they create a whirlpool. You see some images flash through the water but it happens quickly and you cannot tell exactly what you see. You think at one point you see a blue-eyed woman flash across, another instance you see a pack of wolves, and even another you find yourself looking at a fantastic city.
Standing there, you realize you need to make another decision. Are you feeling up for a dip into the pool?
