Chapter Thirteen

Two hours later, Rebecca, Gibly and Gracus were standing in front of a large, rock outcropping, near the base of Burnt Tree Ridge. Gracus and Gibly didn’t see why Rebecca was so enthralled with the rock and the almost indistinct symbol on it. Until she touched it. The symbol appeared clearly on the rock and was illuminated by blue light. Even Gibly looked impressed as he stared at the display on the rock.

“That’s a Valendran word for haven… underneath all these other swirls and stuff,” Gracus said as he gestured at the symbol.

Rebecca didn’t pay too much attention. The energy running through her was bouncing back at her from the rock. There was something else though… something she could feel building in her… needing a way out.

Suddenly, she exhaled sharply and looked up as three shimmering blue forms appeared beside them. There was a really large, dangerous looking blonde man with long, disheveled hair and deep, blue eyes.

A smaller, petite, dark haired woman who had both of her hands on the same rock that Rebecca was touching, while another dark haired female had her hand flat on the other woman’s back. It was she, who looked right at Rebecca. And spoke.

“There is safety. We can protect you. Follow the message in the stones. We will be waiting to help you,” the woman said.

Rebecca was so startled she yanked her hand back from the rock and the freaky blue hands that had rested near her own. The images immediately vanished. Gracus and Gibly looked just as startled as Rebecca.

Gracus finally said, “That was Fiorn Erikson.”

Rebecca looked at him like he was stupid. “That was creepy as hell! Are they ghosts?”

Gracus looked startled at the suggestion. “I don’t think our people are capable of becoming shades. But, as the planet goes through the energy shift, it is possible that spirits can become trapped. I believe one of your holy books speaks of the dead rising, referring to the trapped shades finally being released.”

Gibly sniffed. “Fool. It is what happened when the female recorded the message and symbol in the rock. Like the way her grandfather did on the pages of the journal. It’s like a playback button on your comm. Touch it again. You see, I’m right,” Gibly said confidently.

Rebecca looked at Gracus for a second before she turned back to the rock. This time placing her hand somewhere farther away from where the creepy blue hands were the last time. She still jumped a little when the three blue figures appeared again. Gibly smirked as the scene played out exactly as it had the last time.

Rebecca wasn’t nearly as scared now as she was fascinated. She took her hand off and placed it on the rock again and again, watching the figures appear and reappear around them. Finally, she stopped and stared at Gracus.

“Let’s find the next symbol,” she said, a little excited about what they’d find next.

Gracus looked around them, wondering which way they were supposed to go when Rebecca grabbed his hand and pulled him west, along the base of the mountain.
