Gold Cavern
The Legend of Goldum Book 1
by Zola Blue
Genre: Adventure, Mystery 

Picture
The only thing that could summon Estelle from her New York apartment was a desperate call for help from the man who had saved her life as a child. Her grandfather, who had raised her from a child after her mother's tragic death, needed her to return for an urgent family matter.

Convinced of the legend of the missing village of Goldum, he gathers a group he can trust who can handle the journey into lower mountains before the snow arrives. 

With Estelle to lead, she follows her grandfather's map, into foothills on ATVs. Much to her surprise, she and the others come upon another group of ATVs along their trail.

Lofton, a geologist, appears to lead a group that includes two hydro dam workers and his female assistant. With a massive gold nugget as evidence, the two groups continue together, having no real choice. 

Together they discover the source of the gold is most likely coming out of an underground river, and they need scuba gear to continue. The underground journey takes several days and tortures all physically but mostly mentally. The smell of abundant amounts of gold has them all planning glorious futures. 

Alliances and enemies are made in the small group. Still, all seems forgiven when they find the legendary lost village of Goldum buried almost intact. However, things go poorly when Estelle, who claims to be the rightful heir to the village and fortune, tells the disbelieving group that removing any gold will result in all of their deaths.

​"Shut up, old man," replied Willie irritated. He pulled out a tiny vial with a quarter of a fingernail-sized flake of gold inside. "Yes, it's right here." Willie gazed at the thin, silvery yellow gold shaving. Last summer, he'd found the sliver sticking to his dive helmet when he was putting away his gear in the locker. Somehow the fragment of gold had attached itself to his helmet and remained there when he was diving and clearing away debris. The piece was from the Goldum gold, Raymond Barry confirmed it.  
If only his fragment were as large as the nugget, he saw earlier… He seethed with envy, and his head ached with the desire to possess it. 
"Is that for your retirement fund, Willie?" Simon asked, chortling. 
"This is gold from the legend. This piece is worth more than you paid for your wife," sneered Willie. 
Sean's eyes grew bright. The gold was rare, and only a couple of old townies had any of it. "You're not lying, are you?" 
"Hell no. I told you!" replied Willie. With the index finger on his right hand, he made the sign of the cross against his chest. 
"Oh, come on now. Not you too, Sean. You're not going to believe this foolishness, are you?" Simon said, shaking his head from side to side. 
Willie pointed down at the paper placemat sitting in front of Simon. A ring from the bottom of his coffee cup had encircled the drawing of the town of Goldum. 
"It's a true legend!" Sean exclaimed. 
"There is no such thing as a 'true legend.' If it were true, then it would be a fact." Sean's stare moved downward as an expression of embarrassment covered the young man's face. 
"Well then, what's with this map?" Sean added. Willie had seen the diner's placemat a thousand times but never taken the time to read it. Simon told him he believed it was a cheap gimmick by old Raymond Barry to get people to buy his overpriced trinkets. 
"It's foolishness. That map was drawn by a child," Simon said after studying it. 
No, it's not." replied Sean. "The Leeegenndd of Goolldumm," he read slowly, pronouncing some syllables longer to make sure he could articulate the words. 
"We can read it…" said Simon, looking at Sean down the bridge of his nose. "Did you ever go to school?" 
Sean felt the sting from Simon's insult and gazed quietly at the placemat. Willie saw the hurt in his buddy's eyes.  
"You're a piece of shit sometimes, Simon," he said. "I'll read it: 
"Situated in the icy Baldine Mountains, a band of runaway slaves from the southern territories settled the tiny town of Goldum. Striking a deal with a mystical forest creature, they were kept safe in their golden magical surroundings from those that would harm them." 
Simon smirked. "What garbage." 
Willie continued to read, "Embedded within the walls of their cliff dwellings was the rarest most beautiful, naturally luminescent gold. The riverbed and lake were covered in golden flakes. They created a natural attraction for fish and forest creatures, which made life easy for the small village. The people stayed within the wall of their settlement. They never traded the gold with any other residents that lived beyond the canyon wall.  
One day a mysterious traveling salesman, appearing, warned them of an imminent attack upon his village. Michelo, Goldum's leader, decided to not heed the mystical forest creature's words and bartered with the man, exchanging gold for guns. However, the transaction with the gunsmith never happened, because, on the day of the sale, Goldum and its residents disappeared, never to be seen again." 
"BE THE ONE TO FIND THE GOLD!"

Born in Florida, I am a resident of the US, but now I reside on a lovely island in British Columbia Canada with my mother and two dogs, and one cat. During the early years of my life, I worked in the business industry, thus reaching my goal of obtaining my degree in Business Management. 
I love to read, and over my lifetime, I have probably read hundreds of books. Now that life has given a bit more time to concentrate on my personal life, I am following God and writing fun, fanciful fiction stories, which blend over into the fantasy realm.
 I hope that each time I put words on the paper, it makes you want to read it. I always hope someone has fallen in love with my words and want to continue reading them.
