Ch3: ghost town. Hey, guys and girls. To sashabelle, trellis in this story saves all of the hate for his father, and I put his crush in, because this is after Emily and him spent time down in a cave lost from the group, they became close enough to form a crush on each other. I should have put that in first, sorry.

It was Ceilis the city hidden in the clouds. They were astonished by the intact city and how the people were everywhere. They had landed on one of the landing platforms and were greeted by an officer

"Welcome to Ceilis. Were glad to have visitors in our city." He said, then he saw Trellis, and panicked.

"Don't worry officer, he's with us." Said Emily.

"Yes, and we've been searching for this city for a long time and we must discuss a matter of great importance." Said Leon as the officer nodded. He showed them to the building where they were staying. It must have been hundreds of feet tall with a balcony for each room, it was like a castle. He showed them inside and to their rooms. Emily, Navin, and their mother shared a room, while Trellis and Luger were right next to them. Leon got his own room. The brothers went to town to look for food.

"Wow, this is amazing. It must have taken forever to build this place." Said Navin in astonishment.

"It Did, over 2 years." Said max as he came through a door way. "I assume you've settled in?" He asked

"Yeah, this place is amazing. It has so many rooms." Emily said in excitement

"Thank you." He said they walked around and emily saw Trellis with two guards behind him and Luger, watching them. She walked over and stopped the guards in their tracks.

"What are you doing these are our friends." She said firmly.

"I'm sorry, Emily. But we can't have these elves unguarded. They could become traitors." He said as she got mad.

"Tell the guards to leave, or I leave." She said as his eyes widened.

"*sigh*...guards return to your posts at the gate." Said max. She smiled as they kept walking, she stopped.

"Mom, I'll catch up, I need to take care of things." She said as her mother nodded. Walked over to Trellis who stayed behind as well. They went to Trellises room for privacy. They lied on the bed next to each other. They talked and were happy with some alone time for once.

"Thanks, for helping me with those guards. Max wants you to really stay, must want you for the war." He said. She nodded they hugged, happy to be in each others arms again. They pulled back and kissed. Suddenly, the door opened and Emily's mom came in. Her eyes widened. They had been seen together and they would have to face the music.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It had been two days since they had been found out, Emily's mom had excepted it, but she was having a hard time getting used to it. They decided to take a tour of the city starting with the restaurants. They didn't welcome them in very much. Something strange was going on. Leon, Emily, and Trellis went to investigate. Starting with a few shops and restaurants, they all seemed to act like emotionless robots. That's when they ran into max and the guards. Max led them to the tower. They became alert as max left and the guards attacked.

"What are you doing?!" They yelled

"Destroy, stonekeepers. Follow orders." They said emotionless. They became rubble when they were blasted with the stones light.

"Rock. How did this happen?" Asked Trellis as Vigo walked over.

"This is an astonishing allusion, only stonekeepers of immense power can achieve it." He said as they started wondering. Leon was onto something.

"Emily, Trellis. I need you two to concentrate and imagine teleporting to a location deep beneath the city." He said as they did so. Their stones started to glow and they found themselves in an under ground cave. They looked around and saw max grabbing what looked like a giant crystal. He looked back and smiled evilly.

"Well, well, well. Hello Emily. Do you know, what this is? This is the master stone. The key stone to all stones in the world and I'm leaving with it." He said running. They chased after him. He opened a secret door and a ship was on the other side. Elves let him in and they took off.

They left the caverns and met with the others.

"What happened?" Asked Leon.

"Max is working with the elves and he took the master stone." Said Trellis.

"Well, we've got to prepare for the war to come here. If Max gives the master stone to the elves, they'll have infinite power, they'll be unstoppable." Said Vigo. What he said was true, they let all of the people out of the prison(long story, for some people who hadn't read the fourth book) they prepared for the oncoming battle.
