Word from the author...
To all who read this, this is about a story of two sisters
searching for the mystical singing stones. They were told the stones never
existed, until one day a traveler came to them looking for help. He said
that a dragon protected a lair, and within that lair he heard four melodies
combinig into one, making it the most beautiful music he has ever heard.
Instanly Lathea and Sage Blackstar knew of what the man was speaking of
and HAD to go and look for them... Continue on if this sounds interesting.
Prologue
"No, Lathea, I don't want to go now! Why should
we go now? We just woke up and we haven't had breakfast yet." Sage said
to her as she wiped away the sleep from her eyes.
"Why not? I mean, It's early and we can eat breakfast
on the way." Lathea replied.
"I don't want to go now! Besides, what will mom
and dad say?"
"I don't know and I don't care! It's time for us
to leave the house anyways. Dad wants us to get married. Do you want to
get married now?" Lathea said as she dressed herself.
"No, I don't want to get married. Not now not ever!"
Sage replied with a bit of malice to her tone.
"Where is mom and dad?" Lathea asked.
"They went to the market." Sage replied.
As soon as they were dressed they both went downstairs
to the kitchen. Lathea got herself a glass of water while Sage contented
herself with the food of the pantry. As they went about their business
a frantic knock came to the door. Lathea went and answered it. It was a
stranger, no, a traveler. He was sweaty with grunge and his clothes were
covered with mud.
"May I speak with Lathea?" he said breathlessly.
"I am Lathea. May I help you, stranger?" She said.
"The stones... The singing stones.. I know where
they are!" he said excitedly.
Lathea's heart almost skipped a beat as she heard
what the traveler had to say. She instantly pulled the traveler in and
made him sit down.
"Relax while I get my sister." she said.
Lathea ran into the kitchen, her eyes wild with
excitement.
"Sage! He knows where they are!" She said.
"Where what is? Who? What are you talking about?
Have you gone mad? I think you have, sister."
"No, no. A man is in our house. A traveler, he said
he knows where the stones are. Come on!" she said as she pulled her sister
back out to where the man sat.
"Sage, this is the one I was talking about."
"Hello, sir. I am Sage Blackstar, this as you probably
know is my sister, Lathea Blackstar.
"Yes, yes. I know the both of you. I heard of you
by the towns people. They all thought you both mad for thinking there were
such things as the singing stones... They are real. They are protected
by a dragon. A dragon no one has ever known about until I found his lair.
He is the protecter of the stones. Always has been. The cave is located
in the outskirts of the city, Dykarnia. You will find it by following the
music of the stones. One thing though.. You can only hear the music at
nightfall." he explained.
Sage and Lathea both took in the news of this.
The both of them very excited by what they heard.
"Thank you, sir." Lathea said.
"Your welcome, but I must be off. I must go see
to my family. I will hopefully see you when you return." The man said.
After the traveler left both Lathea and Sage gathered
their supplies for the journey ahead of them. They would leave the next
morning, after they said goodbye to their parents.
