Joshua, if you recall, came in and told Jim some news about their friend Sarah who was supposedly dead. She had been located beyond the black hole which turned out to be a worm hole. .

At this point, Jim is not sure whether his friend is spouting nonsense or if he was dreaming. "What?" Jim responded not knowing how to feel. "Look! Read the letter!" Joshua said handing it to him. Jim took the letter and began reading. The letter read…

Mr. Jim Hawkins and Mr. Joshua Cain,

We noticed that you have been declining all of our requests to join a ship, but we suspect that you will not decline our following offer. We would like to inform you of a discovery that fascinated us all here at our research lab. The 'black hole' that Miss Sarah Reigns disappeared into two months ago, turned out to be a worm hole. Sarah is alive and well, but was not pin pointed as far as her location goes. What we do know is that the worm hole is still there and with enough luck we can send someone in after her to bring her back. Since you know her best we would like to send the two of you out to find her. Give us your reply as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

The Galactic Expeditions Guild

This news was more than what Jim and Josh could hope for. Before they could think they found themselves packing for the trip. They wanted to leave immediately, but they weren't scheduled to leave for 2 days. Jim spent the next few days flying his solar surfer; thinking about the expedition to bring Sarah back. He hadn't stepped onto his solar surfer since they got back, so he spent his time getting used to it again.

Jim thought about what was on the other side of the worm hole, and where it had taken Sarah? Would they be able to get back once they went in or would they be stuck there? Even tough these questions worried the two of them they did not hesitate when the small ship came to pick them up. Jim and Joshua said good-bye to Mrs. Hawkins and they were off.

The two of them didn't dare go below deck, even though they wouldn't reach the worm hole until early morning. Jim was sitting on the rope ladder leading up to the riggings and starring off into the etherium. Josh was leaning against the railing and staring off just like Jim. Then he cut in saying,

"Do you think she's changed?"

"Hm?" Jim said pulling out of deep thought.

"We haven't seen her for two months and she's been in a different dimension. She must have changed." Josh said.

"No. I don't think so. Sarah will always be Sarah."

"Yeah, your right. Come on, we should get some sleep."

The two of them were awakened by a shrill whistle for the upper deck. For a moment, Jim thought it was his alarm and was planning on shooting at it, but when he was fully awake he realized what the whistle meant. Jim jumped out of his hanging bed and ran over to Josh who was covering his face in the bed sheets. "Josh! Joshua, come on we're here!" Jim said over turning Josh's bed.

Josh fell to the ground with a thud, but was off the ground as soon as he had it hit. They quickly packed their things and raced to the deck! Captain Amelia was waiting for them by the long boats, ready to see them off. "I'm sure that you are both ready?" she said. "As we'll ever be." Jim said.

Jim and Josh loaded each of their suitcases onto the long boat and got in. "Good luck to you boys." Captain Amelia said saluting them; they saluted back to her. Jim took the controls and flew the longboat straight for the worm hole.

As they entered it became suddenly dark, and there was a cold, strong wind blowing against them. They started to spiral in the longboat and Josh had to help Jim keep control. They were about to fall out when they finally reached the end of the worm hole.

They were met by a bright light and they regained control of the longboat. They were flying a couple hundred feet above the ground. "Where are we?" Jim said. Josh was observing the landscape like he knew it. "I know where we are. We're in Saldinar." Josh replied. "What! Isn't that the planet that Tristan's noblemen parents rule!" Jim said surprised.

Josh was looking over the landscape and saw what looked like a crater located right next to a lake. "Jim, over there!" Josh said, pointing to what he had seen. Jim navigated the long boat down to the center of the crater. When they stepped out of the long boat, they saw bits and pieces of a crashed solar surfer. "This must have been where she crash landed." Jim said.

As Jim bent down to grab a piece of a solar sail, he heard a splash. Jim turned and ran to the lakes edge, seeing Josh diving to the bottom. With the convenient use of his webbed hands and fish-like lungs, Josh was able to pick up the small shining object he had seen at the bottom of the lake. Josh resurfaced clasping the object hard in his hand.

"Josh what were u doing down there!" Jim asked, kneeling at the lake's edge. Josh lifted his fist to Jim's face and let a rusted golden object dangle from a damaged chain. In even more surprise than before, Jim said, "Th-that's Sarah's locket!"

"Now we know she's here…"
