Chapter 3: The Granite Stone

“Oh, yes!” Vidomak exclaimed. “Hey Geo! Wanna change the weather into good jumping weather? Well, here!” Vidomak shoved the granite necklace onto Geo’s neck. “Now concentrate on good jumping weather,” instructed Vidomak.

A couple minutes later, the rain stopped and the sun was as bright as ever.

“Let’s jump!” howled Vidomak. The three foxes and Geo jumped off the wall, but were quickly blown to the side. “You had to keep the wind! Don’t you know that wind isn’t good jumping weather?!”

“Sorry,” whispered Geo.The foxes were falling at a rapid speed.

“Kiovod, just use your stone already,” Vidomak instructed.

Kiovod quickly made a psychic pile of leaves. When the foxes landed on the leaves, they went sinking inside. The leaves quickly dissolved into mist. “Ow!” howled Geo.

“Hey!” exclaimed Vidomak.“It’s the wolf guardians! Geo use the granite stone to strike the wolves!”

Geo concentrated hard. Then, a storm started brewing. Rain poured down. Lightning struck the wolves and hail plummeted down. Kiovod created a psychic shield above them to block the hail and lightning. The wolves were not affected and didn’t even have the slightest burn on their cloaks. Their cloaks! “Their cloaks!” exclaimed Geo. “We need to get a closer look!” He darted out from under the shield and took off to the wolves. He saw a thin layer of something surrounding the wolves. An anti-weather stone enchantment! “They have an enchantment!” shouted Geo.

“It’s anti-weather stone!” The three foxes gasped.

“C’mon, let’s go.” Kiovod ordered. “Lunavod, we’ll need to use your amber stone to answer the stone wielder’s riddle to get inside the Dunes.

“Sand dunes!” Geo whispered. When they reached the castle entrance a stone wielder came over.
