I'm back with a brand new chapter. I've finished my AVP fanfic and now, I've returned to deliver the chapter about the Lasterol Stone

"The what?" asked Marco

(The Lasterol Stone. It is an ancient stone, hidden away on Earth hundreds of years go) explained Ax (it was broken into five pieces and scattered around Earth, in hopes to stop evil from getting hold of it)

"Oh great, where are we going to find the five parts?" asked Jake

(I do not know)

"And exactly how powerful is this stone?" asked Tobias

(Very powerful. If we get it, we could turn this war into our favour)

"Uh-huh. But first, we have to get the pieces," said Marco

"Marco, do you always have to complain about things like this?" I asked

"Not always, just every now and then"

"It seems to me you complain about everything"

"I haven't see you complain yet, so I'm doing it for you"

"Marco, I swear I'm gonna kick your a-"

Tobias held me back. I realised that I had stood up during the argument. Marco was still by Ax and had a small smirk on his face

"I'll wipe that off soon"

"Alright, we have to find out where we can find the pieces," said Jake

(Prince Jake…)

"Don't call me Prince Jake, please"

(Yes Prince Jake. I may have an idea of where we can find the first piece)

"Okay, where?"

(Deep in a place like the woods I run in, only the trees are entwined together and large animals like your tiger morph prowl. Fish eat humans very quickly there)

Jake took a while, then realised what he meant

"South America. The first piece is in South America"

(Exactly)

"Excuse me, if we're going treasure hunting, what about the kids?" asked Marco

"Good question," Tobias agreed

I looked down at Leah. She was curled up in my lap. Adam was sitting on Tobias's lap and looked up at his father

"We can't leave them here, can we?" continued Marco

"No, we can't. The Yeerks might come here and enslave them again," said Jake

Tobias got up and demorphed, before flying up to my shoulder and began preening his right wing, before looking over to Jake

(We would have no choice, but to take them with us)

"Well, I'm not sure," said Jake

(Prince Jake, if we look at the possibilities, we would see that the danger risk is less if we bring your offspring with us)

"Okay, Ax, I see your point. We're taking them with us"

"Where are we going?" asked Leah

"Somewhere interesting, but not fun," I answered

As I entered the tree house, I saw that Jake was sitting on the end of the bed, his brow furrowed in concentration. Sam was asleep behind him

"Jake, what's wrong?"

"Is it right to take our children on a dangerous journey?" he asked, "I mean, Sam is only four, Leah is four and Adam is six. They're too young"

"What other choice do we have?" I said, "we can't leave them here. Even though the Hork-Bajirs will protect them, we can't leave them here"

"What's more dangerous? Letting them stay here or taking them to South America?"

"What's worse? Taking them with us or leaving them here and worry about them?"

Jake sighed. I sat next to him and rested my head on his shoulder. He looked at Sam

"He's so young. I don't want to see him get injured or worse, killed"

"Sam won't. We'll watch over him and Tobias's children. Marco and Ax will watch over them. We won't let them out of our sight," I promised

Deep down, I wasn't sure about what I had just said. Feeling uneasy, I laid beside my son and fell asleep with him snuggled up to me

So, the Lasterol Stone has been mentioned and the Animorphs have decided to search for it. But how will they find the first piece and what if Visser Three found out? We'll find out in the next chapter. And in the meantime, please review
