Part I Gorwlithe of Fading Flame

Epilogue

(Setting past Black Thorn City, 2002)

Gracie turned the page, and there was nothing there. She flipped through the book and the slipped it into her back pack. Then she realized something. The Stone is still here. She slipped on gloves and went to the center of the rubble. She picked up a piece of the tower's wood and put it in her back pack. Then something shimmering caught her eye. She pushed some of the wood aside, and then she gasped. The Fading Stone that Flame Bristle had tried to get out of the tower before she had died was there She picked it up, slipped it into a Glad bag, and stuck it in her back pack.
She also found a few more things. A piece of the podium from the tower, and Flame Bristle's bones. She put those in plaster and put them in a box to be carried back to Blackthorn City. Then another artifact caught her eye. A piece of paper was lying in the rubble she unfolded it and nearly exploded with excitement. It was a map of all the towers. She knew where to find the other towers, just getting to The Seeking Tower would be difficult. But now she had a plan. She just had to find the next legend to start with.
