A year went by in Cloysol and Daniel and Jane had totally forgotten about their lives back home, they dressed like everyone else and had made friends with other children in the castle. Their parents were all the adults who looked after them and the children were very night they had grand dances and wonderful music to accompany it, and the attire that they wore were so fancy and Daniel felt like he was home like never before.

One day a meeting was held in the hall, it was to decide whether to have a new world created or not, many believed it would be spectacular to create a new planet but many disagreed, including Rău.

'I think this new world will be even more trouble for me to cope with and I cannot multitask that well you know.' Rău proclaimed with a flick of his wrist.

'Rău my dear, I know you are the guardian cherub of this land but I have to disagree. This world will bring happiness to our world. Cassiel?' Aslan said. A man stepped forward,

'Yes your majesty?'

'Send word to the star council that we will go forward with it.'

'Yes my lord,' the man took a started out of the room.

'You will do no such thing, listen to your elders and wises!' Rău screamed at the man. The man took back their position. Every eye in the room glared at the soon to be guardian.

'Rău!' Aslan peacefully said, 'just remember who is in charge.'

'Me! I-I-I mean you my lord, terribly sorry.'

'Yes.'

'I should be in charge! I am right! There is only one way to settle this, a race. A race to see who the best is and who is right about this situation. My side will win.' Rău spoke again. 'This race will be whom can build a tower a mile high first. And whoever wins, their decision will be final!'

'Fine idea, now choose your side,' the lion roared, the two teams became and were quite equal, now I won't explain how they became because it would sound an awful lot like school. 'Now, let the race begin!' Rău's team colour was to be red and his team went and grabbed all of their belongings from rooms and probably a lot items that were not theirs. Whilst Aslan's team, which included Daniel and Jane, went outside on the field and planned what to do. In that team everyone split up into other teams according to their strengths in certain skills. One at a time Aslan went up to each group and assigned them a task to do, all as crucial and important as the next.

Finally after everyone had left, Aslan turned to the two children, who had not joined any group for they had no skills that could compare to the others. 'Right, I have a very important job for you two, the statue will be finished with a golden lion head, the eyes of that head must have a special jewel in them, The Jewels of Cloysol Mountain, a volcano that has been dormant for many millennia now, you must travel to it and get them.' This all sounded fairly easy to Jane and Daniel, go to a hill and get some rocks. Right? The two were escorted to the edge the wood by Aslan where they were instructed what to do. 'First, go through the forest but watch out for the wood pixies, after, travel up the mountain until you come across a cave where you will stay for the night, then find the entrance to the volcano and get the gems. But beware, it may not be easy, for Rău's spies and servants will try and stop you whenever you are not looking. Go, quickly, go.'

'Why can you not come with us?' Daniel asked in a hushed voice, grasping Aslan's mane.

'I will always be with you but I must stay here and help the other members of our team and try to buy you some time before the spies come. Go! Rău will come soon' Suddenly the front doors to the castle flung open and crashed against the walls, out came many people as they all charged down the hill, all eyes were on Jane and Daniel The two children ran into the forest with no further questions. The trees zoomed passed them (of course they were not, it just felt like that when they were running, but needless to say, that doesn't mean that the trees weren't moving,) as they ran, they could hear Aslan's roar and the screams and shouts the opposite team struggling to get into the forest without having to face Aslan. Then, suddenly, a wolf howl was to be heard. Many other sounds and hissing joined in. The children turned their heads to see that the other team members were chasing after them. One had bared, gritted teeth as he ran, but then whispy grey hair started to grow all over his body and started to go down onto his hands and knees. Great large claws grew out of where the nails should have been. He was turning into a wolf. Another person's skin had started to become flaking and become green, then scales began to appear over her skin and huge bat wings sprouted out the back, the woman lifted her head and screamed in pain, fire poured out of her mouth and into the sky. In moments, this whole party had turned into many different creatures, small, large, some even invisible. The children needed no extra information knowing that they needed to run. Their sandals skimmed hastily on the dry, muddy, ground. Their hair in their faces as they ran (this was more of the case for Jane,) trying not to run into the lanky exotic trees in the forest, which had now become a jungle of some sought. Not a rainforest jungle, for in rainforest, it is dark from the canopy. For here any type of animal had ran off to other, safer parts of the area. The sky was also very open and was very even to see, but now it was dark, even though that wasn't possible for it never gets dark, because just in the distance, you could see a shining light, that's where Aslan was. The children had not known had far in they were and how far away from the castle they were. Now the ground had began to go on a slope upwards, the children were so glad that they were at the top of the mountain already. Get the gems and get out, that's what they thought.

Daniel and Jane's legs were very much aching when they got to the top, but their lives were at stake so they to keep on going for the enemy was still advancing on them. But unfortunately, the top of the mountain was not their destination; it was just the first hurdle of a long race ahead. They reached to top and found that there were no gems, but the bad thing was, they still had these murderous creatures behind them, so they had to think fast. Out of the corner of Jane's eye, she saw a small dip at the side of the hill, only yards away; she grabbed Daniel and quickly jumped down onto the ledge that stuck into the hill. They ducked and momentarily a loud noise and footsteps and screams and all manner of horrible noise arose and then slowly faded out into silence. Jane sluggishly popped her head over the dip and saw that no-one was there. She gave the all clear to Daniel and the two gingerly clambered out. They stood right at the very top and just in the distance; they saw it, the mountain.
