Ian POV: 

"That'll be 12.99" The manager says as I slide some dollar coins across the counter. Dad clumsily walks around. He bumps into a shelf.

"Hey, watch it!" The pixie yelled at him. The sack we had put on his head leaned a bit toward the pixie.

"You got a problem, Shades?"

"Answer me when I'm talking to you!" She demanded. 

"I'm sorry, I don't really know where his head's at right now" I say turning around to find Dad fighting with a small girl pixie. We all walk out of the shop.

"How could this night get any worse?" I groan

Laurel POV:

"You know, I would fly us to help your boys and their friend but the old wings aren't what they used to be"  Corey went on

"Oh, that's fine. So, about this curse..."  I start

It's my own fault,  I should be doing my wing exercises every morning, but you know how that goes" 

"Please, the curse. What does it do?" I demanded

"Right. Sorry. It's a Guardian Curse" She apologized 

"If your boys and their friend take the gem, the curse will rise up"

"And assume the form of a mighty beast, and battle your sons and Ameria to the..."

"Ooh. Well, how do the three do in a crisis?"

"Not great. One of them is afraid of everything, and the other isn't afraid of anything  and the third is a mix of both!"

"Yeah, that skinny kid of yours is pretty fearless"

"No, no. You mean the big one, Barley" I say trying to correct her.

"No, no, the little guy. Ooh, he really let me have it"

"What? No, look, you said you could help them, right?"

"Every curse has a core, the center of its power"

"And only one weapon forged of the rarest metals can destroy it, my enchanted sword, the Curse Crusher!"

"Well, okay, but you don't seem to have that on you" I say looking around. 

"I sold it" Corey said sheepishly.

"Got in a little tax trouble a few years back, but don't worry, I know just where to find it"

"I am on my way, boys, just try to stay out of trouble" I say eyes glued to the road. 

"Oh and uh what's the girl's name again?" She asked

"Ameria.... Ameria Heartweaver" I say, I didn't know why she kept asking for her name. 

"Heartweaver?! So that's why I recognized her" Corey said laying back. 

"Wait what?" I say as my mind just had processed what she just said.

"I know her parents from way back, The name Heartweaver was very famous name back then, but before the war happened" 

I look at Corey as confused as a lost sheep. "Am I missing something here?" I question started to get worried. Corey's eyes lit up. "Oh dear...." She said slowly. 

"What?!" 

"If Ameria is there when your boys unleash the curse they will also unleash the villian who created the curse, and will want to finish what she started!"
