    About this ebook

    Crush and Pound have jumped from one other-worldly plane to another, diving into the dangerous and deadly Eye Ward, and things aren't looking up for them. Dr. Tatum and Seth are busy hiking through the Sierra Nevada Mountains alongside a dubious and untrustworthy STUN agent, trying to escape from the clutches of the mysterious Lord Felino with no end in sight. Meanwhile at Faraway Mountain, the princess Beni and her guardian Captain Colere are swept up in a deadly round of battle with the mercenaries of STUN. Read on, if you dare!

      *

      Beni

      *

      The bandages that covered her legs had turned brown as the blood from her injuries dried. Beni had tried a healing spell, and she flexed the muscles in her legs to see if the conjuring had worked. She laid with her back flat on the earth, and she raised both of her legs into the air to exercise the joints, muscles, and the connecting tissues in between. To her delight, the spell seemed to have worked as there was no pain or discomfort that she could detect. She had earned some confidence in the experiment on her legs, and she gathered the courage to remove one of the bandages that protected one of the wounds. She pulled back the cloth and was again pleasantly surprised with the results. She rubbed her fingertips across the smooth surface of the new skin that had grown over the bullet holes, and Beni thanked the heavens that some portion of her magical abilities remained intact on this world. If she had not been able to heal herself, she knew that she would have eventually died from infection. She leaned down on one hand and rolled her body over onto one knee and one foot, and then she stood on both feet. She squatted to her knees once and then rose to full height, and there seemed to be no ill effects from the gunshot wounds. Beni had slept for a short while, and Burt had kept careful watch over her as she rested. When he saw her standing up with no long pants on, he turned his back to her in respect.

      You’re looking a lot better. Your injuries appear to be healed, Princess, he noted as he turned his head slightly where she could hear his voice, but where he still could not see her bare legs. Beni smiled at his shyness, and she stepped over and placed her hand on his shoulder.

      Thank you for watching over me, she said and then stretched her arms in the air as if she had awoken from a long night’s sleep. Tell me, where is that girl that helped me earlier? Cindy was her name, I believe. Burt answered her, but he did not turn around; he was still slightly embarrassed.

      After Anna accused her of hurting you, Cindy went off into the woods by herself. She seemed pretty upset at the accusations, and I thought it best to let her go alone for now, maybe to work things out on her on away from the group, Burt acknowledged. He knew that Cindy had been the one to help the Princess get to safety from the rogues, and the accusations made him feel sorry for her. He knew though that she would come back when her feelings had mended. I set Anna straight about how you were shot by the rogues, but Anna insisted that Cindy had stolen the child of stone from its resting place in the cave, he explained and shook his head in disbelief.

      What is wrong, Burt? Was Anna correct? Beni asked carefully. Burt hesitated before he answered.

      Maybe there is something to the story. I went with Anna to the cave, and the child of stone had been moved, he said. It was funny, too, looking at Cindy’s skin. If I didn’t know better, I would have sworn that her skin was . . . well . . ., he searched for the right words, . . . rocky or rough. Beni’s eyes widened as she thought back to the history of her own world. The child of stone had been rumored to be a powerful magical item, but could it really turn someone into a stone?!

      How could that be? she wondered to herself, and then she patted Burt on the sleeve. "It’s time
