Chapter Ten

Night fell once more and Sarah was eager to be on their way. They crawled on, the ground now rising steadily as they reached the base of the volcano, each slow foot forward rising at a more extreme angle.

The ground would rumble every now and then, and thick black smoke spilled from the tip of the open mountain above their heads in a noxious plume.

“This is too hard,” Sarah said some hours later, sweat dripping from every pore of her body.

“You can’t stop,” Fib said. Already the sky was starting to grow lighter. “We’re so close.”

Sarah looked up. Fib was right. Ten more minutes, maybe less. She closed her eyes for a moment, wiped the stinging sweat from them, and continued on.

Feet from the top of the volcano the familiar whirring of ships pierced the air. The women lay as flat as they could, their hands holding them in place since they were almost vertical. They waited for the sound to pass, and for one wild moment Sarah worried that it never would that the ships had seen them and they were wheeling around to take aim and fire, that they would simply wipe them off the mountain the same way one would slap down a pesky mosquito.

But no, the whirring faded, the ships moved on, and Sarah climbed the rest of the way up the volcano.

She stood at the lip of the massive crater and looked down. There was bubbling lava, bright orange and yellow and red, gurgling and spitting up at her from a hundred feet or more below.

With trembling fingers Sarah pulled the crystal out from under her shirt. She looked at it for a moment, thinking of how it was alive.

It did not matter. She needed to get back to Gar.

“Just throw it in?” she asked, looking to Fib, who was standing beside her.

“Just throw it in, girl.”

Sarah pulled her arm back and then snapped it forward. The crystal flew from her hand, and fell, down, down into the lava.

At first, nothing happened. They could see the crystal, tiny so far away, hit the lava. It sat on top for a moment and then sank. Sarah had been expecting… well, she didn’t quite know what, but more than what she was seeing. Something.

BOOM!

The force of the explosion threw the women off their feet, and they went sliding partway down the side of the fiery mountain.

Sarah got to her feet and looked up. Fire was spewing upwards, into the sky. Lava splashed out and over the lip. The volcano was erupting.

“Run!” Fib said, pushing Sarah to go. They picked their way down the mountain as quickly as they could, their feet skidding, changing course when a river of lava came speeding down around them.

“No!” Sarah screamed, feeling the immense heat of the eruption all around her. Sooty smoke filled the air, making it hard to see.

“We’re going to make it!” Fib screamed back, but it didn’t sound as though she believed it herself.

Sarah had been expecting something, that much was true, but she hadn’t been expecting this.
