We landed. The dash for the light so fast some of us took flight. Even still, it nearly split some of us in half. As for me, since I was the last one to pass through, I’d lost my balance and dropped to my hands and knees like a dog. Zach, Jack, and Abel fell on their butts. Milani snickered, watching Harper and Hugo bump into each other. Father and Uncle Davin arrived standing, poised and elegant.

I lifted my hands from the cool surface of the hard stone to stand, and as I raised my head to survey the surroundings, I gazed in awe and wonderment. We were inside a chapel—not just any chapel, but a chapel in Scotland with ancient history and extraordinary stone carvings. Though Jack had told us we needed to go to Scotland, I had done my own research on the net when we got the second clue. My findings told me it was Rosslyn Chapel, but I wasn’t a hundred percent sure. The human world and words often confused me, but standing in the center of it all confirmed my hunch had been right. Ikelia sent us right to it.

I reached out to the ray of sun striking through the colorful stained-glass windows, highlighting parts of the pillars. To be surrounded by what man had once crafted humbled me. Angels might be more powerful, but humans, they were the true makers.

After I assessed the perimeter, all seemed quiet, but I thought it strange when no visitors wandered into the nave in the late afternoon. I had no idea of the visiting hours, but I had expected to see someone.

“Whoa, where are we?” Brody asked, turning in a circle, absorbing the exquisiteness.

“Poem of stone, powdered with stars. That is how people have described the carvings, this chapel,” Jack informed us, eyes wide. “William Sinclair is one awesome dude, or was.”

“Who’s he?” Harper asked.

“Who is he?” Jack spat, sounding offended. “William Sinclair is the mastermind behind this chapel. He’s the founder. Life expectancy was thirty-five back then, but he lived until roughly seventy-four. It took fifty years to build this chapel.”

Harper scowled. “Excuse me for not knowing. Wasn’t the chapel part of speculative theories concerning a connection between Freemasonry, the Knights Templar, and the Holy Grail?”

Jack shrugged. “I have no idea. No one can really say. However, it was featured in the 2003 bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code.”

Harper traced the curve of the arches with her eyes as we paced farther along. “The next novel on my list.”

“You don’t have time to read. In fact, you don’t like to read,” Hugo commented, running his hand along the smooth surface of the pillar.

Hugo jerked when Harper patted her sword on her brother’s butt. He scowled and headed to another pillar.

“Wow. Just wow.” It was all Milani could say with lips parted, tilting her head way back and making a complete turnabout. “Look at that.”

I did and I understood how she felt. Each single surface of the
