Chapter 8: Return the Stone:

Longclaw's POV:

I returned the Master Emerald to the Echidnas. "We thank you for this decision, but why?"

"This... I just don't want this thing anywhere near me again," I said.

"Thank you, Longclaw and you were right, the Master Emerald almost did corrupt us. We shall make sure that doesn't happen."

"Thank you."

. . .

My brother is lost, and the Master Emerald is now away from me. I just hope I can never see that stone again.

Echidna's POV:

I couldn't believe it! The Master Emerald has created seven smaller emeralds. They could be just as dangerous. We better keep them safe as well.
