The Path of Light for an Archaeologist

Excerpt Page 13 Chapter 1 - Skills
"Why languages are so important to learn especially since everyone speaks common? But I'm here to tell you that learning the other languages of the world will be more beneficial to you. Knowing the languages verbal and earth will open many things in your future endeavors. I lost count of the many times that I had a door open to me because I could speak the language of the locals.

As we know the common language was given to us by the Gods. The Gods' language wasn't always there in our world, that’s why many cultures also have their own language. We have our languages are based on the ancient language and thus it is very helpful to understand them. When you are trying to decipher the ruins and hieroglyphs and other wordings on items of the past it is important to know multiple languages so you can figure out how to decipher what is before you. It is important to study the cultures and languages of the people that lived before you because knowing their era can help you understand your own"


Excerpt Page 23 Chapter 2 - Sun Shard 
"In the rubble of the broken cannon, I found this bright yellow stone. The stone was so bright. At the time I did not realize that this small stone was going to change the course of my life. I was wearing the normal protective gloves with the recommended protection charms on them.

Do wear your protective gear because it will protect you from most magic and curses. As you know the better the gear the better the protection.

When I picked up, what is now known as the sun Shard, the shard quickly melted through the glove and into my hand. It felt like I was literally walking on fire, and I was blinded by the light of the sun. This supposedly only lasted a few minutes, or so my compatriots told me later. When I came to, several days later, I no longer felt the pain from the fire, but my hand did feel weird and upon close examination, I found the Sun shard embedded in thee. "

Excerpt Page 42 Chapter 4 - Majestic Falls 
"After traveling several days in the Majestic Falls, I was spending time mapping out all the caverns. At one point I realize a small amount of water was trickling through a spot that looks like it was a blockage created by many pieces of broken rocks, probably a cave-in. I was intrigued by this spot, and I was curious to see what I would find in the space. I used my solar blade many times to clear away debris, so I used it here as well. I first cut a small hole to peek dirt just in case a lot of water came out. When I looked through the small hole and I first saw a dim light showing me a large cavern and I could smell the fresh water beyond. I saw movement and when I went to focus on it, a blur blocked my view and a blue eye looked back at me from the other side of the rock. My curiosity got the best of me, and I had to see more from this creature, so I made myself an opening. I very carefully cut the hole in the rock considering the stability and looking to prevent a cave-in. Or at least that was the hope.

The opening seemed stable, so I walked in and was happy for the fluorescent plants that allowed me to see into the cavern. Within the caverns, I saw an unknown species of animal that I called the Sea Fox . Please forgive me, as I do not like giving difficult names to things I find. Within the caverns, I looked for proof of civilization and found several broken buildings and a statue with a sea fox on top of it. The weird thing about the statue is that I only saw Sea Foxes with one tail and the statue was of a Sea Fox with two tails and it was floating on water. I called it the Twin Tail Sea Fox monument.
