I've just reached the worldly known but cannot be located city of Calipheum, an ancient city of wonders, created by an advanced civilization known as the Caliphians that are known in the books to had successfully deviced a method to alter any element's atomic number by their will, to cut it short, they can make water into gold.

Now, I, Sir Thomas Wilfred will look for answers for this mystery and hopefully finds some treasures in this expedition of mine.

"Orga", Sir Thomas calls his best assistant Orga.

"Yes, Sir Thomas, this is a Pacifist Rock", Orga says.

"Hmm...that's to be expected"

A Pacifist Rock blocks the road that they were into, the rock is not the same like the common Pacifist Rocks. The color is far from the common rocks that he finds in his expeditions, and on the top of that, the size is quite way bigger than normal. Possibly, this rock is even the biggest rock that sir Thomas has found in his entire life.

"It's the end of the line for you here", a voice says from nowhere.

"What? Whose that?", Orga says.

"There, at the top of the rock", another assistant of Sir Thomas says.

"God gracious, that's the silver ballerina in the stories, the said to be first experiment that had been successfully altered into silver from being just a human", Sir Thomas states.

"So it is true", the other assistant said.

"It is now certain Clifford, we need to catch it"

"Catch me? You humans are quite ambitious", after saying that sentence, the silver ballerina dances a ballet and jumps off the rock.

"Blaaaam", the Earth around her shatters on her fall. That made the expeditioners be moved aback and some fall by their butts.

Sir Thomas positions his cane for an attack and strikes. It hits but the silver ballerina blocks with her arm.

"You're quite fast for an old man", the silver ballerina says before jumping back and dancing another ballet.

"What's you're name cutie pie?", Sir Thomas asks.

"Name? What is that?" The ballerina says then jumps afar, "that will be your last warning, leave this place or else"

"Wait!", Sir Thomas shouts before the silver ballerina vanishes.

"Name? That's something that I don't know. Is that something that you will not find here?", the silver ballerina speaks in her mind while running away.

Sir Thomas and his crew stays next to the rock to study the things about it, "So far, not even a single clue, this one is so large and has a peculiar color but says nothing. It's just a big tablet of blank space, what else could it be for?"

"Hmm..."

Meanwhile in another entrance towards the city.

"Doctor Krypt, we already made it". a large man with a weird head gear says.

*"At last! Let's find the treasures before that old hag gets into it before us", an old guy with an all black attire says.The doctors crew then started to unpack by dropping each man's back packs to the ground.Then the backpacks started growing as if their balloons that are being pumped with air.

"Kacha", a sound it made when the bags had completely transformed. The bags turned into robotic vehicles that can be piloted by a man.

"We're ready to go!", the men shouts while in their cockpits.

"Make me proud you clowns! Take everything that has value and take them to me!"

---

"We should find the silver ballerina", Sir Thomas says.

"I don't get the point sir, why?", Orga asks.

"She shouldn't be here"

".?."

"Just focus on looking for her, sharpen your eyes", Sir Thomas said while walking into a building inside the city. Inside the entrance, he saw a torch and lights it with his lighter.

"Sir Thomas!", Clifford says, offering assistance to the old man.

"No, no, Clifford, stick with the team, I'll do my own from here, let's meet up at the center", Sir Thomas says. The old man is on his urge feel, whenever he has it, he just walks alone to work by his self.

Inside, the old man walks and finds his self in a dark pathway with mysterious writings on the walls. As the man walks, he looks at the writings.

"As expected, I should find her faster then", Sir Thomas just realizes something out of the writings and speeds up his walk. After a few more minutes, Sir Thomas finds his self in the middle of a big dark room with an altar at the middle.

*"Kahuna, the Goddess of Change, has been worshiped by the Caliphians for centuries", Sir Thomas says while looking around the altar and the ornaments around it, "interesting, I wonder how did everything ended up for the Caliphians"

"You seem to know many, but it seems that you don't know where they went"

"... Silver ballerina, I've been looking for you, we need to talk"

"Why? What's the need to talk to me? So you can find the treasures and own them?"

"No, I want you to know something about the Caliphians"

"What do you know about them? They went to a sacred journey towards Pila, they will soon come back after they get here"

"Do you have any idea on how long have you've been waiting?"

"No idea, does not matter, they will come back for sure"

"... Come with me outside this prison and..", Sir Thomas' sentence has been interrupted cause of a clamp holded him from where he stands.

*"Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, hello my dear friend, it's been a while, I didn't know you're still finding someone to date at such age. Well, who is the victim this time?, Krypt looks closely to the silver ballerina.

"Krypt, put me down you bastard"

"Wha... What, the silver ballerina, so the legends are true, there was an immortal that stayed in the city to tell the tale of how the Caliphians died"

"They didn't died, they went on a journey!", the silver ballerina says.

"They went on a journey? So there are discrepancies in the tale. This is a big information Thomas"

"What does he mean old man?", the silver ballerina asks Thomas.

"It's a long story dear... And it's not the time to talk about it"

"Every Caliphian died because of the war they made with another tribe, their weapons were so advanced that it destroyed not only the enemy but their selves as well. That war almost left nothing but the corpse of all the that participated the said war's corpses that were contaminated with an unknown compound weapon", Dr.Krypt says.

"...", The silver ballerina gets into silence cause of Dr. Krypt's statement.

"You have no proof!", the ballerina shouts and in an instant, she has been sent flying by a robot making her hit the wall in a building.

As she fell into the ground, the wall breaks that lets some light to enter the insides of the building.

"Stop it Krypt, you will find no more treasure here, just leave"

"Ha, ha, ha,, the great old man Thomas being desperate and resolves into lying", Dr. Krypt mocks Sir Thomas.

"Lying?!!", you're stupider than I thought Krypt.

The silver ballerina then stands by her feet and charges to attack. She successfully destroys two units and escapes the establishment.

"Tsk, you fools, why did you let her leave? After her!", Sir Thomas says to his men.

"Krypt! Why? Just let her be! You'll get nothing from her, she's just a victim here"

"Stop your blabbering Thomas, I will not buy any of your lies"

"Ack, for God's sake, don't let me escape from this tin can or I'll beat the crap out of you!"

---

"How could that possibly be? That's a lie, I need to make them go away from here", the silver ballerina says to her self while running.

She runs into three robot and blocks her way with an attempt to attack her. With no much effort, she destroys them and passes through. The three units were left destroyed and the ballerina kept running.

"Stop right there", but just before she could go far away, more robots blocked her way, "this is the end for you"

"No, it's you who I will end", the ballerina attacks again. She destroys one, two, three, four, five, six, until she wrecks more than 20. But her defeat was inevitable. She receives a blow from one of the robots that sends her away flying.

"Shoot! I told you to catch her, not to toss her, after her!", Dr. Krypt says.

The ballerina drops right on the front of the rock. She slowly stands and gets surprised on what she saw. The stone has a message to her.

"I can't believe it!", the ballerina screams and the whole city starts to shake.

"What is this? An earthquake", Sir Thomas says. The robot holding him gets crushed by a random boulder from the sky that made sets him free from being holded. And so, he escapes.

Dr. Krypt and his robots flew from the building and so did Sir Thomas escapes with his crew.

The end.
