Chapter 4.

The Stone's Gift.

Jon: glad you changed the name.

Realme: Yea, not that the readers are not smart, but I prefer to avoid a chance of confusion.

Jon: Anyway, we h.

Realme: WAIT WAIT WAIT, I think I forgot to describe red. Did I?

Jon: flips through pages You did.

Realme ^FACEPALM^ Sorry, if you were wondering what he looked like he is the pokemon trainer red minecraft skin. Again so sorry and I doubt this will happen again.

Jon: Anyway, enjoy.

They looked over the map, slightly puzzled.

Red: "I don't think this is a regular map layout. And what's this writing under the locations."

Jon: "It's DEFINITELY not a regular map layout, and I have no idea what this text is. I can recognize most forms of elvish and this is not one of them."

As they talked it over trying to figure it out, tea said what she thought should have been obvious to the two.

Red: "Why don't we ask Steve, he ought to know."

As they looked out the window they saw it was much later then when they started.

Jon: "It is kind of late, but it's the best idea I've heard so far. Let's try it."

They grabbed the map, but just then they heard a loud explosion. They knew it was in town and was big.

Tea: "Oh no."

Jon: "HURRY LET'S GO!"

They rushed down the stairs as people asked what happened to whomever they passed, but the three had no time to answer and were unable as they did not know themselves. They followed the smoke and when they got there it made there hearts drop like a stone in the deepest lake. It was Steve's house. In a pile only 5 feet tall made of fallen beams and broken pieces of wall panels.

Jon: "No, but how, why, whea."

He had no words to speak about what had just happened.

Tea had more words, but was just as in shock as Jon was.

Tea: "Maybe a creeper got in his house." She said tearful. "But whatever happened, we can't stop to think about it, we have to help."

With that they ran over to the rubble and asked what they could do.

Guard: "Well, the fire is out now, but there might be someone in there. Can you help search?"

They all nodded, even Picasso. They walked this way and that over the rubble. Then as Red was searching the back area, he heard a moan.

Red: "HEY, I FOUND HIM."

They all rushed over and tried to lift the beam holding him down.

Jon: "JUST,,,A LITTLE,,, HARDER."

Tea: "IT'S NOT,,, MOVEING."

Red: "CAN, YOU GUYS HOLD THIS, FOR A SEC."

He stepped back and called out Asher, his charizard, Elsa, his Glaceon, and Vortex, his Leafeon.

Red: "Asher, you help lift, Elsa you use ice to help hold it up, Vortex, use vines to lift it."

As they did reds orders the beam seemed lighter in The helpers hands, and they raised it high enough to get Steve out. Right after they did Reds team let go and fell back in exhaustion. As the medic examined Steve's injury's. He had a sorrowful look as he took the stethoscope out of his ears and put it back around his neck.

Medic: "He's not going to make it."

The threes faces dropped as the words of the medic whizzed by there ears to be lost on the winds.

Jon: "But there must be something you can do."

Medic: "I am sorry, this hurts me to. I knew him, but his lungs are basically two dimensional after that beam fell on him. Even if we could operate he has so many broken bones and damaged veins that he would need so much replaced, half of which is beyond us, he would die of trauma or sheer blood loss."

Jon took this in as the medic tried to conceal his pain. Jon knew it was worse then his, Steve was the medics friend, they had only know him from a short encounter. He went back over to the others as Steve said his last words.

Steve: "I am glad, I met you three, so my last wish, is all but answered. To see the ones who will cast aside the shadows curtain from the land."

Jon: "But we don't know where to go, that's why we wanted to see you. And we can't be them, we are just people living through this one hardship at a time like everyone else."

Steve: "Let me see the map."

They held it in front of his face as he examined it. He smiled, as if he just was about to say I told you so.

Steve: "The map needs to go to the shrine in the woods outside FairPort, then place it in the raised table next to a slot for the stone, ^COUGH^ iris. It, will open, a door, to the, ^COUGH COUGH^ guide to the map, take this book with you, I I'm, not going to see you, finish it, but, I will, know you,,,,did."

With that he handed them the book, and his eyes shut for the last time.

Jon: By comparison, that chapter was very, VERY short.

Realme: Yea, but it's late and people are complaining so I have to end it here. The first effect of this rushing around to finish my school. But I hope tomorrows will be longer then this one. And I will shoon be doing one shots about future long stories. They will be about the other characters of the next few storys. Anyway, I really have to go now, so see you next page.

Jon: Bye.
