- hey guys this is my one and only Arthur's note. So this is the first book out of my 7 book series. Each chapter is only 6 to 7 pages long. Sorry I know there short but I just don't like writing long ones. Anyway back to the story-

Two months ago if you had told me that I would be running from the Royal guards , in an ancient city. I would have laughed in your face. But here I am running for my life, with the light stone in my hand. I guess I have to tell you how I got here. It all stared.....

Wait, I'm sorry I forget to introduce myself. My bad. I'm grace Hampton. Even tho my name is grace I'm not very gracefully. I'm 16 and I'm very tall for my age. I have long brown hair and eyes that change color. Weird right? Ya My mom say I'm special , that I'm going to change the world. And Right Now, I'm really believing her. Because if running with a light stone in your hand that when put together with the others could bring back the dead isn't special, than I don't know what is. Anyway I don't really know how I got into this mess, but I think it's stared when my friend Joey found this old map and key. Ya an old map and key what could go wrong. Let me tell you people, A LOT Of THINGS could. go. Wrong. Anyway back to my story.
It all stared on June 8, my 16 birthday......

"Honey, wake up, you'll be late for your birthday party, if you don't get out of bed." mom says while shaking me awake. " Ugh five more minuets." I say while waving my hand in the air for her to go away. " Fine." mom said " I'll be down stairs making breakfast if you need me." She adds while walking down the stairs. Rolling over in my bed. I decided to sleep a little longer, but my plans are rouened when my phone went off. " Ugh doesn't anyone get that I'm trying to sleep" I complain while picking up my phone to see who it was. And to my luck joeys name pops up on the screen. "ugh what does that freak want now" I think. Actually joeys my best friend. It's just when I always try to sleep. He some how calls me right as I'm about to go back to bed. Knowing Joey if I don't answer he will just keep calling. So answering the phone...

"Hey Joey, what is it that you want today." I say while yawning.

" GRACE!" Joey Yells then passes before continuing in a quitter voice.  "You'll never guess what I found." He whispers in excitement

"Umm... Did you find a spider or a fish in you bed?" I ask not really instead. Why is he whispering?

" Ugh no? Girl you need to wake up because I don't think your thinking straight. Anyway I found this old map and key. I haven't opened the map yet because I want you to come over. So we can see what's on it. " Joeys says in his happy voice. I've always hated that voice. It sounds like he's talking to a little kid when he does it.

"Find let me get ready and I'll be over in a second." I say then hing up. Pulling my sleepy self out of bed I make my way to the bathroom

Once in the bathroom I take a quick shower and put on some sweats and a tank top. Looking into the mirror, I see what color my eyes are today, they are bright yellow. Why yellow I don't know, but for some reason when their green or blue. My day goes great, but when their black or red my day is not so great. Walking out of the bathroom and down the stairs into the kitchen I grab some toast then head for joeys house.

Joey lives only three houses down from mine, so I always walk there. Walking up to his front door I hit the doorbell and wait. A few seconds later the door swings open reveling Joey. who keeps looking over his shoulder like he expecting someone to pop out and kill him. Sometimes I question is sanity. Just as I'm about to say something he grabs my arm and pulls my up to his attic.
