The Hunt for the Power Stones

Chapter 49 - Night - Day recovery

Nathaniel was feeling so weak and tired, his breathing was very slow and Gabriel had exactly what Nathaniel needed. Gabriel had obtained all the life force and essence of his soul into the same healing cup he used to heal the dragon, moments after Androsus ran out of the cave with Nathaniel's body. Gabriel slowly entered all the essence back into Nathaniel. He instantly began feeling better just as quickly as Gabriel felt weak and tired. This was by far the most extreme use at his magic, He had taken a life that deserved to die and that felt good. Thanks to Gabriel's bravery and strength, our heroes were once again grateful for having such an incredible friend. Gabriel reached into his pocket where he had the stone in a cloth and handed it over to Nathaniel. "UGH, keep it that thing away from me," Nathaniel quickly opened the box of stones and on the bottom right corner was where the Dark opal stone belonged. Moments later the sun was beginning to rise and our heroes were starting to find it difficult to see. The potion gives the person night vision but also causes them to be unable to see in the daylight until the potion is over, they quickly rushed back to the cave they entered last night and worked hard to keep warm. Gabriel had another serving of meat with Nathaniel as they both needed to keep their strength up. Malik asked for the Box and Nathaniel reached into his bag and handed it over. Malik sat next to James as they both looked at the stones. They truly were beautiful. All 8 stones shiny and glistening, "2 stones are left " said Malik. "We know where 1 of them are " replied James. "Lake Mareotis, but there is 1 left that should be around here." "For now lets rest, Gabriel and I are exhausted and we can not go out during the day. "Malik kept the horses safe, fed and watered and James gathered food at night for the next 2 days while our other 2 heroes recovered.
