Chapter 132
The white light spread across the sky.Rufus stared at it through the branches of the forest.Five stones had now awakened.Five heirs.Only one remained.The sixth guardian stood motionless.Mira looked toward the light.Her expression was different from before.“This is happening too quickly.”Rufus turned toward her.“You said Vikram wanted me because I can awaken the fifth stone.”Mira nodded.“Then tell me how.”“I don't know.”Rufus frowned.“You just said I could do it.”“I said you are the only one who can.”“That isn't an answer.”Mira looked at the sixth guardian.“He knows.”Everyone turned toward him.The guardian remained silent.Rufus stepped closer.“Tell me.”The guardian finally spoke.“The fifth stone does not choose its heir.”Rufus waited.“It chooses its location.”Kael looked confused.“Then how does it get an heir?”“It doesn't.”The guardian looked toward Rufus.“The fifth stone is different from the others.”Rufus touched his amulet.“What does that mean?”“It
Chapter 131
The fourth light remained in the sky.It was darker than the others.Almost black.Rufus stared at it while the red, blue, and green lights slowly faded.“What kind of stone is that?”The sixth guardian refrained from answering immediately.He looked toward the distant horizon.“The fourth stone is different.”“How?”“It does not give its heir power easily.”Kael looked at the guardian.“Then what does it do?”The guardian's eyes remained fixed on the black light.“It tests them.”Rufus frowned.“And if they fail?”The guardian finally looked at him.“They die.”Silence filled the mountain.Tina stepped closer to Rufus.“Then we need to find that person.”The guardian shook his head.“No.”Rufus looked at him.“No?”“The fourth heir must face the stone alone.”“That doesn't make sense.”“It is the law of the stones.”Rufus clenched his fists.“Laws can change.”The guardian stared at him.“Not these.”Before Rufus could answer, Kael suddenly dropped to one knee.He grabbed his chest.

Rufus stood in the center of the chamber, fire burning around his hands as hundreds of shadows appeared in the tunnel.The army was coming closer.Kael stood beside the green stone, gripping his wooden staff with both hands.The woman carrying the Water Stone moved to Rufus's other side.Tina and Rodri stood behind them.The dwarves stayed near the wall.The wounded soldier looked toward the tunnel and swallowed hard.“They aren't soldiers,” he whispered.Rufus glanced at him.“Then what are they?”“I don't know.”The sixth guardian stepped forward.His black armor began to glow.“Everyone stay behind me.”Rufus shook his head.“No.”The guardian looked at him.“You don't understand what is coming.”“Then tell me.”The guardian stared into the tunnel.“They are called the Seekers.”Kael's expression changed.“The Seekers?”“You've heard of them?”“My teacher told me stories.”The guardian nodded.“Then you know why they are dangerous.”Kael's grip tightened around his staff.“They hun

The green light appeared beyond the mountains.It was faint at first.Then it grew brighter.Rufus stared at it, unable to move.Another stone had awakened.Another heir had been chosen.The words repeated in his mind.“The third stone.”The woman carrying the Water Stone looked toward the green light.Her expression had changed.“You said the third stone had awakened,” she said.Vikram nodded.“It has.”The sixth guardian stepped forward.“You should not know that.”Vikram laughed.“I know many things you have forgotten.”The guardian's black armor seemed to darken.“You have been searching for the stones.”“Yes.”“And now you have found three.”Vikram looked at Rufus.“Not three.”His eyes moved toward the red glow of Rufus's amulet.“Two.”Rufus understood.The first stone was with him.The second was with the woman.The third had only awakened.Vikram had not obtained it.Not yet.Rufus looked at the green light.“Whoever has the third stone is in danger.”The woman nodded.“More

The army stood across the valley.Dozens of soldiers filled the ridge, their weapons pointed toward Rufus and the people beside him.At the center stood Vikram.His eyes moved from Rufus to the woman carrying the second stone.Then he smiled.“So,” Vikram said, his voice carrying through the valley, “the second heir has finally appeared.”The woman stepped forward.Blue energy surrounded her hands.“You should have stayed away, Vikram.”Vikram laughed.“You know my name.”“I know what you have done.”“And yet you still stand there.”“I am not afraid of you.”Rufus looked at her.“You know him?”She nodded.“Everyone who guards the stones knows Vikram.”The six

The blue light on the horizon grew brighter.Rufus stood in the hidden chamber beneath the abandoned settlement, staring through the narrow opening that led toward the surface. The light was not fading. It was spreading across the sky, turning the darkness outside into a cold blue glow.For several seconds, nobody spoke.Then one of the dwarves whispered, “The second stone.”Rufus tightened his hand around the amulet hanging against his chest.The red stone inside it was still warm.He could feel its power moving through him like a slow fire. But the feeling coming from the blue light was completely different.Cold.Deep.Almost like water flowing through his veins.Tina stepped closer.“Whatever is out there,” she said, “we can't stay here.”Rodri looked toward the entrance. “I agree. Vikram knows where we are.”The wounded soldier nodded weakly.“He won't stop,” he said. “Not now.”Rufus turned toward him.“You said the person carrying the second stone is coming toward us.”“Yes.”“
