About this ebook

Nargassus is in trouble from the evil Sinisters. A prophecy says that a boy who is able to control the four elements of earth, fire, air and water will be able to restore peace to the land and defeat evil.

Cameron has these extra-special abilities and is sent on a mission to find the Sinisters with his two friends Anna and Sam. Anna is able to see visions of the future, and Sam has navigating powers.

In this second book in the Kodo series, the children travel to the icy land of Iglay. Their search leads them to the Magma Chambers where they face Izotz, a Sinister with the power to freeze people. Will their abilities be enough to defeat him?

    Prologue

    Holographic phone message September 2314

    Subject: Betrayal

    To Raydon

    I trusted your Kodo soldiers but three of them have betrayed me by stealing keys which give the holder special powers. I do not have sylins in my blood like your kind and I rely on the keys to keep control of Nargassus. I worry your rogue soldiers will take over if we don’t stop them. You need to send some trustworthy soldiers immediately to seek them out.

    King Henry of Nargassus

    Subject: Prophecy

    To King Henry of Nargassus

    So far, we have been unsuccessful in tracking down the three rogue soldiers who we have named the Sinisters. The soldiers we sent to find them have not returned. We fear they have been captured or killed. Ancient scripts tell of a rise in evil during our time but also prophesise that a boy with the ability to control the all four elements of earth, fire, water and air will restore peace to the Kingdom. We are monitoring our students to see if any have such powers. I will send a message when we have news.

    Raydon, Leader of the Kodo School

    Chapter 1: Homecoming

    The door to Uncle Peter’s house was flung open before the children even got up the drive and Mary rushed out to the porch. She clasped her hands to her chest as she watched the four children approach. They all walked a little taller than they had before. Their looks stood in contrast to each other: Cameron with his dark hair, olive skin and serious expression; Sam with blond hair and a permanent grin; Anna with bright, intelligent eyes and her precious red-headed Jenny.

    ‘Thank goodness you’re all safe,’ Mary said, hugging Jenny and the other children in turn as they stepped onto the porch. ‘I’ve been so worried.’

    ‘Don’t fuss Mum,’ Jenny replied. ‘We’re fine.’

    ‘What happened?’ she asked.

    ‘We got Electro, one of the Sinisters,’ Cameron replied.

    ‘I heard that much,’ Mary said. ‘Zedric is here waiting for you.’

    ‘Where is he?’ Cameron asked.

    ‘In the drawing room,’ Mary replied as they walked into the house.

    ‘So what exactly happened?’

    ‘We found the fortress and the key. It was guarded by robots but we fought them off and then we had to fight Electro too,’ Sam replied.

    Mary’s posture stiffened. ‘What did you do Jenny?’

    ‘Don’t worry mum, I kept a safe distance from the fighting.’

    ‘Thank goodness. I’ve been questioning my judgement about letting you go ever since you left.’ She sighed.

    ‘You didn’t find Peter then?’

    ‘No,’ Sam replied in a subdued tone.

    Mary put her arm around Sam’s shoulder. ‘You did your best.’

    ‘It doesn’t stop here,’ Sam said fiercely. ‘I’m going to find him.’

    ‘You should speak to Zedric first,’ Mary suggested. ‘Jenny come with me.’

    ‘Yes mum,’ Jenny replied.

    Cameron, Sam and Anna entered the drawing room and saw a tray with a jug of homemade lemonade on the table and some glasses.

    Zedric looked up. ‘You must be tired. Sit down and have a drink.’

    The children sat down wearily while Zedric poured them some lemonade.

    Cameron took a gulp of his drink. It cooled his throat and he felt the bubbles gurgle in his stomach. He leaned back on the sofa. Zedric looked just the same as before. His hair was greying at the sides but other than that he looked very young.

    Zedric leaned forwards, with his arms folded across his knees. ‘I’m glad you’re safe. Raydon told me you’d defeated Electro. You should be proud of yourselves.’

    ‘I think we were lucky,’ Cameron replied.

    ‘Not lucky,’ Raydon contradicted. ‘I think you used your powers well but why did Jenny join you?’

    ‘She’d seen a map of the fortress and we thought she’d be useful.’

    ‘You put her in danger,’ Zedric said sternly.

    ‘Yes, it was a stupid idea.’

    ‘At least there’s no harm done and she’s returned safely.’

    Cameron cringed as he remembered the danger they’d been in at the fortress but pushed the memory aside. He
