Chapter 13

After walking near the lake, the five reached a tunnel. After walking through the tunnel, they reached a narrow shaft. Barda and John took the lead while Mark and Lief took up the rear. "Why is it called The Remebrance Mine?" Mark questioned. Lief explained, "A man was digging near here and fell in a hole. He followed a tunnel and found crystals that help you remember things." Lief laughed,"On the way back he hit his head and forgot where the mines were. We went to the spot where he thought they were and found them."

Mark understood and continued walking. Soon they reached a large chamber. He saw Jasmine smile. She picked up a red rock and handed it to Mark saying, "Touch this to your forehead. Think about something and you will remember it always. It will also improve your memory." Mark grabbed the rock and touched it to his forehead. It was cool and damp. Mark knew what he wanted to remember. He though about when John had come back and the kiss Jasmine had gave him. He thought only about that kiss and the rock emitted a low glow. Mark felt the memory sticking and knew he had made a good choice.

Lief looked around, "Look for clues. There must be something around here." They all separated and started looking for clues. Mark noticed drawings on a wall and walked over to it. There was a drawing of a boy falling from the sky. Then he fell in a camp. The boy and the campers walked into a forest. The next drawing was of a grave. The one after was a dragon destroying a city. Then it was the boy killing the dragon. Mark realized this was a prophecy of him.

He followed the wall and found a sword. Obviously it had been there for ages but had not rusted. Mark knew he had to use this to kill Rage and drive away the Shadow Lord. Just as he touched the sword, he heard a loud noise. He turned and saw Lief, Barda, Jasmine, and John staring in horror at a large monster. He knew it was a larger version of Rage.
