Igrom slučaja ili, ako radije želite, igrom sudbine, a sudbina je često samo provođenje namjera nepoznatih sila bez našeg znanja, ovdje počinje priča o Klikeru i Solar, međuzvjezdanim putnicima koji su, putujući svemirom, upali u kozmičku oluju. Ona ih je skrenula s puta i dovela na nepoznato odredište. Na nepoznati planet. A jedino što se na tom planetu nalazilo, bila je velika, neobična piramida. Bez znanja o tome gdje su, iznenađeno su zurili u tu savršenu piramidu. Zašto savršenu? Zato što je ta piramida bila napravljena tako da bude savršena. Za osnovicu je imala kvadrat s četirima istim stranicama koje se spajaju u jednoj točki na vrhu. A ta je točka predočivala savršenstvo. Ni vjetrovi ni pijesak nisu joj mogli ništa.

-Plešuća piramida – reče Solar

-Molim?- zbunjeno je pogleda Kliker.

-Kažem plešuća piramida. Čula sam priče o njoj, no nikad nisam vjerovala da uistinu postoji.

-Gdje si čula te priče?

-Ne znam- zagonetno reče Solar. – Ne sjećam se. Kao da je ta informacija oduvijek u meni.

-Od svojeg rođenja nisam čuo veće gluposti.

-Hej, kao prvo, ti nisi rođen, ti si stvoren.

Kliker je bio algoritamsko biće koje je za potrebe komunikacije dobilo svoj oblik. Bio je mali, zeleni čupavac. Bar je on tako tvrdio da izgleda.

-Dobro, a zašto se baš zove Plešuća piramida?

-Zar ne vidiš kako vibrira?- Kliker se zagleda u golemu piramidu pred sobom.

-Primam frekvencije iz piramide. Netko nam šalje nekakvu poruku.- rečeSolar.

Kliker potvrdi i svojim kinetičkim algoritmom skenira piramidu.

-Hm, nema ulaza.

-Da, čini se nemoguće ući.

-Mora postojati način-oboje se zamisle.

U tome trenu, primijetivši kretanje pridošlica, crni čuvari piramide stanu pred njih. Bilo ih je trojica. Onako crni i bezlični plutajući prostorom bez pravih nogu izazivali su užasan strah već samom svojom pojavom.

-Moj se komunikacijski algoritam odbija od njih…

-Pusti sada priču, mislim da ovom sivilu nedostaje malo boje.- Solar se uhvati za kosu i napipa ukosnice u njoj. Čuvari se aktiviraju te krenu prema njima.

-Hej, zar djevojka ne može popraviti kosu a da je vi ne salijećete?- zagonetno ih upita Solar te baci dvije ukosnice na njih. Bile su to ukosnice njezine moći, njezino vrlo jako oružje. Pogodila je dvojicu.

Od njih ostade samo trag u duginim bojama. Treći, ostavši sam, i nije više bio toliko hrabar i jak. Pobjegao je glavom bez obzira.

-Malo boje i sve izgleda bolje- potvrdi Kliker dok je gledao za bjeguncem.

– A da sada riješimo tajnu plešuće piramide, zato smo tu, zar ne?- zagrli ga Solar i oni polako krenu prema piramidi.

Daleko od njih u svemiru, odbjegli crni čuvar približavao se prostoru bez zvijezda. Njegovo kretanje postade sve sporije, sve teže, te na kraju stane. Oko njega su vladali mrak i neka nelagodna tišina.

-Piramida je napadnuta…- prozbori čuvar. – Djevojčica i nekakvo čupavo biće stvorili su se niotkuda….

-Tajna plešuće piramide bit će dakle otkrivena.-javi se glas iz dubine crnoga prostora. Čuvar samo poslušno spusti glavu. Bilo ga je strah.

-Dobro. Bilo je i vrijeme- glas nestane u frekvencijskom šumu i pretvori se u ružan smijeh. Možete li zamisliti ružan smijeh?

The Mystery of the Dancing Pyramid – Part One

Accidentally or by a play of destiny the story of Solar Girl and Kliker begins here.

Solar girl and Kliker were intergalactic travellers who travelled the universe and got stuck inside a cosmic storm. It changed their course and brought them to this unknown destination. An unknown planet with only one building – the huge, oddly looking, pyramid.

With no clue where exactly they were, they stared at the perfect pyramid. And why was the pyramid perfect? Because, it was built to be perfect. It had a square base with a four identical sides joining in a single spot at the top and that spot represented the perfection. Nor winds nor sand could ever harm it.

– It’s the Dancing Pyramid! – observed Solar Girl.

– What? – responded Kliker with a question.

– I said, “It’s the Dancing Pyramid.” I’ve heard stories about it but never believed it actually exists.

– And where did you hear those stories?

– I don’t know – responded Solar mysteriously – I don’t remember. Seems like that particular information has been with me all the time.

– Rubbish! The greatest rubbish I’ve heard from the day I was born.

– Hey C’mon! You weren’t born at all. You were created!

It was true. Kliker was an algorithmic creature incarnated into its shape for the communication purpose only. He was a green, hairy little thing. At least that’s what he thought he was.

– Ok, let’s suppose you’re right. Then why is it called “The Dancing Pyramid”?

– It’s obvious. Don’t you see it vibrates? Like it’s dancing. I am receiving frequencies from it right now. It’s coming from the inside. Kliker, someone is messaging us.

Kliker activated his kinetic algorithms to scan the pyramid.

– Hm… there is no entrance.

– Yap. It seems impossible to enter.

– But, there must be some way.

Suddenly, with no formal invitation, three guardians of a pyramid stepped right in front of Solar and Kliker, disgusting both of them with a vague sense of fear and terror. Guardians had no material shape. They were dark manifestations that floated in space.

– My communication algorithm is blocked. – said Kliker in panic.

– No worries. I don’t think they came here for a small-talk anyway. But, I think they lack a bit of colour.

Solar reached for her hairpins, her secret weapon; a very, very powerful secret weapon. Guardians wiggled.

– Hey! Can’t a girl fix her hairdo without everyone getting nervous all of a sudden?

Solar hit two guardians with a hairpin.

And that was it. Guardians disappeared. All that left of them was a rainbow print in the sky. The third guardian wasn’t so brave now that he was left alone. So, he flew away in direction unknown to Solar and Kliker.

– Hooray, Solar! They don’t seem to appreciate a bit of colour. – Kliker greeted with amusement.

With hand in hand, Solar and Kliker approached the pyramid together. They finally had some peace to solve its mystery. But how will they enter it? They still didn’t know.

In the meantime, deep in a universe far, far away, the survived guardian arrived to a space with no stars. Space of ultimate dark and a complete silence.

– The pyramid has been attacked – the dark guardian spoke – a small girl and a green monster came out of nowhere and…

But, the guardian didn’t finish as the pervading voice coming from the depths of a dark space interrupted him. Guardian looked terrified.

– So, the Mystery of the Dancing Pyramid will be exposed after all – the voice spoke – But, it’s ok, it’s about time someone reveals it.

The voice disappeared in a frequency noises and turned into a sneer that rumbled the neighbour galaxies. Can you imagine the sound of a sneer rumbling galaxies?
