  1. Zeras chortled. "If you found a secret passage, it was because she wanted you to find it." "We're already here," said Sophia, puzzled.
  2. The Cryptic took this as encouragement and began to hum louder.
  3. Which was unfortunate, as there were several largish kazoos in the vicinity!
  4. Pheonix began opening his mouth to say yes when he was struck suddenly by a crippling wave of doubt. Star said that she still wanted to believe, even with what she had said. But... oh, Author, it was true. In the end, all he could say was "I don't know. I hope so." It ended out coming out as more of a question than he would have liked.
  5. "That's the gemheart," explained Zeras in a reverent tone. "It holds the island's soul." The strange pressure that most of the members of the party had felt was strongest here. One could almost feel the thoughts of the island, if one focused hard enough.
  6. "Oh," said Pheonix, feeling slightly lost. "Of course I forgive you, Star."
  7. The steep rock face curved away on either side, forming an enormous plateau that was only partially visible from where the group was standing. In the middle of it sat a large stone that glowed with entrancing silver light. Around it was a small crowd of people, standing in clumps. Some looked over as the group reached the top, waving at Zeras and Sophia. Zeras had a relieved smile on his face as he waved back. "Welcome to Ansol outpost," he said. "Well, what's left of it."
  8. Pheonix sat down in a chair facing Star, tapping his fingers nervously.
  9. "NO," said Sophia, her face flushing even more red. Zeras laughed. "Why not?" he challenged humorously. Sophia was saved by the party's arrival at what appeared to be the end of the tunnel; a steep stone face about ten feet high. Silver light shone from the top. Zeras hopped on the wall and began climbing up, surprisingly nimble for someone of his age. He reached the top and looked back to make sure the rest of the group was following.
  10. "What do you need to talk about?" said Pheonix, his voice wavering slightly.
  11. They were carrying a couple of incredibly souped-up gemstones.
  12. Zeras chuckled. "It's even more terrifying than it sounds, trust me. As Sophia could tell you. Why, the first time she talked to an island, she..." "That's enough, Dad," said Sophia, her cheeks flushing red.
  13. With his fist closed around the Narrativium Crystal Rekaerb One closed his eyes.

    And moved.

    He opened his eyes. "Hello?" he called out cautiously. "Did it work?"

  14. "It's less about the power," said Zeras's daughter, "and more about how she uses it." "You'll find out soon enough," said Zeras. "She'll be the one interrogating you."
  15. Zeras starts off down the tunnel, which slopes slightly downwards. "There are many who would wish to steal her power for themselves. She must defend herself any way she can." "Tazeroth's the island," his daughter piped up. "In case you didn't know."
  16. Zeras made sure everyone was inside, then let the door swing shut. "Tazeroth's doing, I would suppose. Don't worry, she's just being cautious."
  17. "That's just the entrance," Zeras assured her. "It should get lighter further in. Don't worry, nothing dark would dare enter here while the island still stands."
