One afternoon they were guided into the forest to help chop wood. It was a rare time that Christian and Alexia were allowed to work together.
Christian thumped his ax into a piece of wood. “We need to steal the Astral Diamond back.”
“That’s a bit hard,” Alexia said. “It’s with Sark, who is going to use it to crack open a dungeon that has been sealed for a hundred years. So, what can we do?”
Christian took his time lifting the next wood block up.
“An opportunity will arise and then we must be ready. For now, we do anything that will build trust with Sark’s men. We have to pretend to be like Kit, use the truth to cover-up our big lie.” Christian picked his ax back up. “Sark doesn’t have all the pieces yet. The portal to our world is closed. Sark doesn’t have Uncle James and we are here, learning everything about Sark, about his fortress and his men. But right now, we need the Astral Diamond back. That’s it. It was me and you who got that diamond, Alexia, not Sulfur, not Sark. It was me and you. It’s ours and we will find a way to get it back.”
With that Christian threw the ax down into the wood, splitting it neatly in two.
He turned to see Alexia staring at him intently with a small smile on her face.
“What?”
“Maybe your uncle was right,” she said. “Maybe you are the edge we need.”
Christian lifted the ax. I just hope I can help, he thought, and not get everyone killed in the process.
Then, from the looming fortress a great horn sounded. Around them, Sark’s soldiers dropped their axes, whooping and shouting.
Sulfur arrived, grabbing them. “I’m taking you back to the fortress, immediately.”
“What’s going on?” Alexia asked.
“Well, Alexia, our sorcerers have finally broken the code that’s kept Arnook’s dungeon sealed for a century.” Sulfur gave them a cold smile. “It’s time to gear up wanderers, that Astral Diamond is going to open the dungeon’s gates. It’s time to meet the legendary great fire demon Arnook.”
