The king pushed past Ample, dashing out into the courtyard, with Ample at his side, " The king looked out, onto his remaining kingdom. " What is this, you bring ? ", he said. " You have brought with you a curse ". " No ". Ample said, " I have brought for you today the release of your kingdom. For the stone has revealed a story to me, of a girl who will come to claim the book. She will be the only one, who will be able to read the maps', that are contained within its' sacred pages'. She will come to collect the stone, returning it to it's rightful place.

He knew for the protection of the future princess, he would have to separate the book from the scroll. Taking the scroll, and hurrying back towards' his throne, he called for Degan.


Degan, came running in, " What have you called for ? ". He said, bowing his head in the presence of the king. " Degan , I call upon you in urgency . I need you to bring me my most entrusted knight. Go now, without delay ". And with that, Degan bowed his head and disappeared into the enormous shadows', of the king's presence.
