They felt sand below them. They were on a cliff. The skies were as clear as glass after being polished by the finest window cleaner in London. Peter was sitting near the edge. "It takes your breath away, doesn't it?" he said.
They were bewildered. This was nothing like the bustling, busy streets of London. This place seemed calm. "Where are we?" Jade asked. "From what I've heard, they call it Regen," Peter added. They looked around.
The cliff led miles down. "This place can't be on Earth," George believed. "I know," Peter understood, "That's because it isn't. You see I know about this, resembling when I laid a hand on the stargaze, I got comprehension. I was knowledgeable.
I found out that the woods behind you is only a line. Go through and we will find friends. We are not alone. This world is colonized. We need them.
I've been here for hours. How long did it take you to sturdy up and come?" Terra replied, "You sent a letter!" "Yes," Peter concurred, "Two hours ago!"
You see, time moved faster in Regen. Only, Peter didn't know that. Everyone thought Peter was loopy, although he was meditating on the mountain, they couldn't be sure. Peter agreed to position his watch to Earth's point in time.
They walked along the trees until they came to an opening. They walked through. There in front of there eyes were dwarfs, dryads, wood nymphs, fauns, centaurs, and regular animals that could talk!
They also say a man, no he was a horse, no an eagle, no a lion. He was a shape-shifter. The shape-shifter saw them first. "Humans, everybody," he said.
Everyone looked at him, as if they just noticed he was there. Then, they looked at the kids. They were baffled. It looked like they had never seen a human before.
"Hi," Peter said. All the creatures bowed to him. A centaur spoke, "It is he, who the stars have been reminding us about, who will save us from the stargaze!" Cheers were heard from the crowd.
"The stargaze brought us her-" Peter said. "No," the shape-shifter interrupted, "I did!" The cheers halted. "Really, Gond?" they all said. "Yes," said Gond.
Gond came to them, as a lion. "This is my true form," he said, "Peter, your destiny lies ahead of you now! Terra, you must be his only lady front hand helper. George, you must be his other front hand helper. Jade, you must help them by healing their wounds."
"Yes, Gond!" they all said together.
Gond handed George and Peter swords and shields. He gave Terra a bow and arrow. Finally, he gave Jade a healing cordial. They learned how to use their gifts. They were ready for anything.
Peter was handed a scroll including the names and pictures of all the so-called, "Stargazers". They were evil and meant to be destroyed. Peter knew why because they couldn't win without the Stargazers out of here.
They moved on around the valley of creatures and went into a cave. There, they were fed supper and a glass of fine, squeezed grape juice. It tasted delightful if you curled your lips at every sip. Then, they went to bed.
