Chapter 8 - ChapterVII: Missing Stone and a vision? Why me?

(So I guess Its my turn to speek. Hi I'm Jack.)

Starting from where joe says go ahead phillip, Meg immediately rushed at him to pin him down, but Henry stopped her and said, "calm down he's with us," so Meg with a stupid look on her face said, "he tried to kill me you saw didn't you?" Then Henry asked "what makes you think that?" Meg looked at him as if to say are you serious and actually asked, "you know he was chasing me half to death right? What other reason would he have to do that?"

Henry started laughing his ass off as if something was funny, "I'm sorry I should've told him to hold back a bit." Meg looked at him confused and said "wait...you told him to do that? What were you trying to do, for what reason?" Henry began explaining "I told him to scare you all half to death so your powers would activate. Fear is a good tool to use when you are going up against someone, so you learned two things today, but that's not the problem right now. the problem is with your brother Jack his stone was missing."

Everyone looked surprised then joe asked "wait how is that possible we were one step ahead of him" I answered with a feeling of regret and told them what happened.

"It started off completely fine and as the heat around me was scorching I couldn't tell that the map was glowing because of the sun so I stopped for a second to recollect my vision and I noticed its been glowing the whole time so naturally I followed the map into the temple but when I got there I saw the polencher standing there with the stone in his hand and when he noticed me he smiled and took off."

"I apologize for not paying attention," I said with regret, then Meg came beside me and said "it's not your fault anyone would've made that mistake im sure of it. It just means that the polencher was faster." I looked at Henry and asked "so what do we do its not like we can go after him, or is that what you expect us to do." "No of course not, but there might be another way to get your birth right." Henry answered we all looked and I asked "how? I'll do it" phillip looked at him and said with fear "you don't mean that do you, thats too dangerous even for them, not even i could withstand it. You know as well as I what it does to people. you shouldn't even consider that possibility, they're just children. I won't allow it." My siblings and I looked at Henry with confusion I asked "won't allow what? What is he talking about?" Henry looked at him and said "would you rather let the polencher win then?" phillip looked away with shame, then Henry returned his gaze to us and said "like phillip just mentioned what I'm about to suggest is highly dangerous and something i wouldn't recommend on a normal basis, but since the situation is dire i find it necessary get some rest I'll explain everything in the morning me and phillip need to talk."

Before I went to sleep I could here Phillip and Henry talking in the background, "do you think they'll be able to survive?" Asked phillip, then Henry answered with some discontent, "I don't know, I can only hope that they do for all of our sakes for if they fail, gods help us all." Then before I could finish hearing them talking I drifted off to sleep.

suddenly a whisper came to my ear and softly spoke my name and I thought I woke but when I did I was somewhere very dark cold and empty almost like I was in a place with no life at all then in front of me stood a figure I knew nothing of who he or it was but it seemed familiar, the figure then turned toward me and said in a way like it was on its last breath "you can't win." "who are you!?!" I yelled thinking he couldn't hear me otherwise "you mustn't go the great shadow of doom controls that realm you will not succeed." the figure appeared behind me and I asked it "go where what are you talking about," then it got close to my face revealing it's own it was ragged and burned and scars all over almost something out of a nightmare and said to me "the realm of darkness and despair, is not for those who are unaware, of the power and toll this journey brings, for the corruption already got two siblings, one of which whom had fear of power, and the second of which that embraced it, be prepared for the worst, if you go in without the first." Then he disappeared "wait what does that mean what is the first what are you talking about wait come back," then a vision of my siblings dead on the ground appeared in my head "what the hell this can't be true what's going on? get out of my head?" I asked completely scared out of my mind afterwards the ground started shaking and crumbled beneath my feat and I ended up falling into the darkness and woke up screaming with a rushing headache and my heart burning with agony and pain my siblings were sitting around me with concern on there faces "are you ok? why are you crying?" asked joe "it was just a dream? but I thought... it felt... so real." "what's going on in here I heard screaming is everything ok?" Asked Henry then he looked at me and asked me to tell him what I saw and so I explained everything to him.
