The wizard, backed away into the shadowy light of the king's chamber, disappearing slowly out of sight.

The King stood up with haste, " Wait ? ". He said. Azim, walked back into the light. " If I fail to protect the stone, how will I defeat the curse that our city and it's people will incur ? ". The king said. Azim, bowed and kneeled, slightly before the king, as he was still backing away into the shadows'. " There is a small, stone ~ shelf; embodied into one of the walls' that reside at the back of your palace, dear king. Place the red ~crystal onto the shelf, a stone brick will open out from underneath, revealing a scroll. On the scroll, will be an inscription written in gold lettering. You will be unable to read it, take it and place it in your library, in a place only be known to yourself. A girl will come, she will be known as the reader of the maps'. She will be the only one who will be able to read the inscription and the book. " And with that , Azim was gone. " Wait," the King spoke again ", but it was no use; the wizard had already vanished.

The king took the stone to the gardens', unlocking the golden gates'; as he entered in, onto what had been already sealed by his command. Searching the walls', scurrying along the stone bricks' he came to a hand fall of flowers and overgrown thorny vines'. He felt with his hands', pushing in hard. There; to his delight, was a hole, smoothly shaped into the hollow wall of the outer palace .
