Chapter 17

Jackson’s team finally revealed the location to us, and we learned the Box of Shadain was in Central America in the rainforest. We rushed to make plans so we could go retrieve the relic that Jackson so desperately wanted.

Victor held my hand on the plane. “I hate leaving Alexander.”

“I do too, but we have to repay this debt so we can leave and return back to Tastia,” Victor said.

“I know Liz, Charles, and my parents will spoil him rotten.”

He smiled. “Yes, they will.”

Jackson and his team had pinpointed exactly where the artifact was. It had been tracked to an ancient temple in the middle of the Rainforest. Once there, we followed our guide. Jackson’s men were friendly enough. Even Jackson tried to make small talk by telling us facts about the trees and plants around us.

“Did you know tropical rainforests only cover about six percent of the Earth’s surface?” Jackson continued. “But they are home to more than half the world’s total plant and animal species.”

“Interesting,” I said as my boot crunched over a large tropical plant.

Birds chirped, insects hummed, and monkeys howled as we walked through the Rainforest. Jackson’s team stopped right in front of a towering tree.

“It’s supposed to be right here,” a woman said, glancing around.

Jackson studied a map. “I don’t get it. Where is it?”

“I don’t see a temple anywhere in this vicinity,” I said. I scanned the trees and vegetation and knew they must’ve made a mistake. It must’ve been in another location.

“It’s not here,” a man with bushy brown hair said.

“No, this is the correct spot,” she said. “And the map we obtained from the ceremony wouldn’t lie.”

“But maybe we’re mistaken about the location,” a short man said.

“We’re using satellite technology,” she said back. “This is definitely the right spot.”

We walked around and surveyed the scene before us. We chatted back and forth and came up with a few theories about what had gone wrong. I’d thrown my hair into a bun but it was still pretty hot and humid. Far off to the left, flashes of light caught my eye. When I walked over, they disappeared. But it was like I was having some kind of a paranormal experience. Probably because I wore the Mark of Lanera.

I walked around when suddenly the earth seemed to be sinking out from underneath me. I tried to catch my balance and threw out my hands. Loosened debris rained down on top of me as I fell in midair. Tapping into my powers, I stopped myself and hovered in the air. I was just inches above the ground. Gently, I set myself down.

“Sarah!” Victor yelled down. “Are you okay?”

I glanced up. “I’m fine. I was able to stop the fall and land gently.”

“I’m coming to get you,” he said.

Victor jumped down and embraced me in a tight hug. He was my constant pillar of strength.

“Baby, I’m okay,” I said.

He hugged me even tighter.

“Let’s get some light,” I said.

I opened my palm to let a yellow ball of light emerge.
