"If it's not the environment essence that made me ... act rashly. Then, could it be the Earth's Cores?" Zax gazed upon the backpacks of Merly, Anet. I...nside each of them was one brownish Earth's Core. "At first I thought that it was the environmental essence that fooled my Soul Sense to think that inside and beneath the rock there was a cluster of Earth's Cores. But it doesn't explain why I didn't locate the third Earth's Core Weysey found. If it's not the environment essence..." Zax rehearsed. Moderate cloud cover meant that between views of the land below, we would be entering and exiting the large fluffy clumps that hung in the sky."I feel like an angel," whispered Wendy to the window.

We had leveled out and were now moving along at a decent speed, yet Wendy hadn't even undone her seatbelt. When. She gave the three-tap signal her mother used to tell him to get ready for the special game then she waited for him to get ready and to let her know.

I got a little embarrassed and made some weak excuse. A little later we packed all my gear in the back of the car and started out for her home, about 10 miles away. We were nearly at her village, when she said she knew w short cut and directed me up a country lane. About half a mile up the road, she said to turn in left. I did so, and realised I was in the car park of a country park. I naively asked her why we were there. She asked me to.
