Nigel Churchill and his farm hands are riding from the
corral to their normal gathering place at the foot of the
hills when they witness the arrival of Gray Wolf and his
band of outlaw Indians.
Anza, Qingling, Arthur, and Longwei are on the Path of
Knowledge when the transference thunderbolt strikes and
the ground shakes indicating the arrival of the others from
Planet Theia. The sky grows dim for a moment and the
wind stops. The trees are still and the birds stop singing.
All is quiet and peaceful.
The kids hear the sound and feel the shock wave.
Longwei looks at the others, "That sounds like trouble."
Anza puts his finger to his lips, "Shh ... listen."
"I don't hear anything," whispers Qingling.
"That's the problem. It's happening again."
Longwei asks, "What's happening?"
"Another," Qingling questions, "something from the
other Planet?"
It's Arthur's turn, "Or maybe someone."
"We gotta find Yeye," shouts the apprehensive Anza.
