Austin Candor will never forget the first time he attended a show at the Dascade Iris Playhouse. Bright moonlight spilled across the massive three-layered castle-like complex glowing bright blue in the chilling night. Austin is relatively short and slim with short dark brown hair that shifts slightly to the right just over part of his eyes. Though on this night he had it coloured blue. It glowed in the moonlight. His bright, energetic eyes shifted sideways as his face twisted in anxiety. He didn’t like how it was built, it looked like it was leaning and too heavy on the top like it could collapse at any moment. He’ll never forget that night, because he’ll never forget what he saw.
Floating bright gold chandelier lights floated by as Austin entered, then left, then re-entered, then left, then re-entered the first hall, just practicing his fast exit. He noticed a lot of intriguing places as he kept getting away from his mom to explore the playhouse. In this story, the mystery challenge for you to solve will be what feature of one of the playhouse rooms is the Daycoryay Prophecy talking about? A feature could be a light, a clock, a table, a tree, a window, something like that but it will be mentioned in the story below describing Austin’s adventure in the playhouse. There will be something significant about the feature described. First read the story, then check out the prophecy after to see if you can figure out what feature the prophecy is describing. The feature offers a clue about who the opera singer is and where she comes from. Leave a comment below if you have a guess. The answer will be revealed in the next Character Fun Facts post. Can you figure it out?
Austin saw the lights flicker as they passed by. He shook his head with his eyes slanting and moved faster ahead. Then he heard music playing. He walked along the wall, running his hand along the smooth crystal blue, just making sure it was solid, and found a large rounded door, glowing with a burning blue light. It had a picture of a face with only eyes glowing bright green. Austin stared at the face, then looked away, then turned back, then looked away, started to open the door, then turned back, just making sure the ghost face wasn’t watching him. Finally he pushed into a massive dining room. The floor was made of blue and white dazzling tiles. Flickering moonlight spilled through the gigantic grand blue stained glass windows. The light moved constantly across the room over a table with a fancy white cloth made with a design of dancing citizens and shiny dishes set on the table. Austin wanted to look out the window, and the table was really long, so he jumped up on a chair, rolled over the table then jumped over another chair. He was about to look out when he heard clanging behind him. He spun around fast. Forks, knives, and spoons were moving, clanging on a dazzling white plate, with a flower pattern engraved in it, in a complicated musical rhythm. Austin backed up against the window feeling the passing lights. This time he dove under the table, jumped up on a chair and launched himself to the door. He hurried out, glancing back several times at the green ghost eyes, staring directly at him.
Later on, Austin found himself in a small square room with really tall walls rising high. They all held dark, dusty books. Moonlight grew brighter shining through the sky window with a pattern of red, blue, and gold crystals. The light splashed down the walls. Various books began glowing in rhythm to low, booming music coming from the creamy blue spiral shaped pool in the center of the room. Austin glanced to make sure the door was close. The slim, tall door was still glowing with a burning gold light. He turned back to see one book showing a sword, another book showing an arrow, and another glowing book showed a city tower. But it was the ghostly singing, that led him to check out another room.
Austin slowly opened the fancy creaking door, with blank ghostly faces painted on it, glowing with a green light. Austin told the door to stay quiet, but the door didn’t listen. He crept along the wide circular wall of the massive ballroom with a marble white floor that had elaborate designs throughout. Bright flickering moonlight splashed through the rising grand stained glass windows. Just then a chilling wind rushed into the room. The windows went dark. Austin leaned back against the wall looking around sharply in the complete darkness. Then he heard it, a grand piano playing in the room, a sad song with a bright, energetic melody fighting through with sour notes. The piano lit up in a glowing blue light, floating around in the room. Austin slowly inched his way toward the door. Moonlight started streaming through each window one by one. One lit up showing a blue ghost staring down, another lit up showing a green ghost looking up, while another one lit up showing a a ghost staring ahead with fiery eyes. Just as Austin turned for the door, he saw a ghostly lady in a white dress glide across the floor and leave the room…
DAYCORYAY PROPHECY
When the lightning finally strikes the tower
When the dark hand finally points to the hour
The clock will slowly, slowly turn to reveal the time
Look for the ghosts’ plan to turn on a dime
The key will be to look at the three ways
They are the ones who don’t appear in the days
Read the revealing clues line by line by line
Make sure you see what’s missing in the shine
You will not want to miss what’s coming soon
It will strike like lightning out of a clear sky at noon
The shadow elite sit up high in their tower
They’re waiting and preparing for the darkest hour
The aliens have a secret plan no one knows about
Ghosts whisper in every corner ready for the shout
The ghost leans against the cold wall flinching at every tick
Blood red moonlight will slowly light up every brick
Students with determination and intense fire
Who find new ways to climb higher and higher
Are the ones the aliens want to shut down
Through the glittering lights of the crystal crown
But these students are the ones who found the clue
Maybe the aliens are afraid of what they can do
A lady sings hidden by the mist over the pool
She sings so her dream-like song reaches the school
She can’t be seen, but only heard in the moonlight
She only sings bright opera in the darkest night
She seems to have a message for those across the blue
There’s always a way through
