Tamara quickly dodged the beast outstretch hands as it continued to swipe at her. She ran far from beast, putting distance between them. Slowly her hands rose and she began to whisper causing the Heartstone to light up. A bright pink beam shot from the jewel to consume the monster. The monster waved his hands in the air as it slowly staggering backward. The pink light grew hot against his icy skin. With every second, it slowly lost precious feet and finally only to become a puddle. The crystal incasing Shadowsong dissolved sending him and Tamara to another place.
Fallon rode on Moondance through the twist and turns of the tunnel. The only light was the glow from the two Moonstones. The silence stretched on while they made their way on down the path. Fallon back hairs began to stick up as the approach enormous opening where light steep through. Without their knowing, fire flew in front of Fallon. The heat of the fire had brushed against Fallon face behind leaving a scorch mark against the wall. Within the shadows, large green eyes widen and narrow at the Moonstone riders. Suddenly gusts of wind hurled at Fallon sending her full force against the wall and Moondance back. It continued to flap its enormous wings, pending Fallon against the wall.
"What are you?" Fallon tried to move her hand closer to the belt with the moonstone attach.
It seemed to laugh at Fallon through its eyes before answering. "I'm one of the guardian, but most would recognize me as a dragon. What are you?"
"I'm a jewel rider on quest for the crowd jewels for the king."
"Liar!" Fire spurted from his mouth, "You are no jewel rider. Your aura is unfamiliar to me."
(We are jewel rider from the kingdom, Avalon) Moondance stood in front of the hung figure of Fallon.
"It makes no difference. If you were a jewel rider from this kingdom, you will survive this encounter, but now you will die." The dragon fire pour from this mouth toward Moondance and Fallon. Moondance quickly erected a force fill around them. While Moondance was protecting them, Fallon formed a sword, having the hilt as the jewel. Fallon stepped out of the force fill and faced the dragon.
"Fool!" The dragon flew upper ward before diving downward. It long pointed claws were out front as it quickly went for Fallon help. Using the skill born from years of practice, she dodged the claws and pulled the sword up, cutting from one end to the other. The dragon fell with a hard crash against the wall before disappearing in a shower of dust.
(Fallon, Are you okay?)
"Never been better." Fallon picked herself up and on to Moondance to continue on their quest.
Gwen and Sunstar appeared in a small room. The walls were bare and on the far in was an old wooden door. Gwen dismounted and headed for the door. Her hand went around the smooth knob turning one way and then the other with no success. Suddenly the sound of horses stampeded as the room began to slowly get smaller.
(What are we going to do?)
"I don't know, but we have to stop the walls." Gwen stood in the middle of room, pointing her stone toward the wall. A long steel rod appeared going across the room toward the walls. The walls stopped, but they could still hear the deafen sound of the gears behind the walls.
(We have to try something else. The rod will not last long.)
"We have to bust a hole through the wall. Sunstar concentrate." They pointed their jewels to the walls as yellow pulse illuminate from the jewels and began to slice through wall as knife through hot butter. A small door was made were one of the rod end laid causing the wall to move toward them fast.
"Run" They quickly made it through before the walls slam together before again they were erupted in a light.
The moonstone holders continued through the tunnel. They could feel the aura of the jewel that dwell somewhere within the maze of the tunnel. It was calling them as a siren call sailors to their doom. They cautiously walked toward another opening. The floors were brick and in the middle sit an altar with a jewel.
(Something's not right) Moondance moved her head side to side.
"They won't just place a jewel out open for us to find."
Moondance nudge a rock sending it toward the altar. The only sound was the rock hitting the brick before the sound of fall rock as the rocks around the altar fell, leaving a hole.
(We have two ways to get there)
"I could run for it or tight rope toward the altar. Wish me luck. I'm going to run for it." Fallon moved to running start position before moving quickly over the brick as one by one it fell behind her. Her movement became slower as the brick quickly fall behind her feet. She reached out with her arms toward the altar before she began to fall.
(Fallon!)
"I'm okay." Fallon used her full strength to pull herself up before grabbing the jewel.
They were deposited in blinding light with the rest of the jewel riders outside the temple.
"Fallon, Moondance! We were beginning to worry about you. Did you found the jewel? All our search ended in nothing."
(We have the one of the crown jewel in our possession.)
"I don't know about you, but I'm beat. Let get back to castle guys." Gwen quickly held up her jewel to form a portal to the castle.
