Carl stared at the wasteland of blackened stones, thick with shadows in the dim light of earth's Depth Lands deep below the world of forest and sun above. He stood where no Forest Keepers had been. His band of twelve, were silent. Nearby, Ronsee stood next to Darla of the Silver Cave Keepers and her brother Dunwin. Only Ejin, prophet of the Silver Cave Keepers and their guide, came to stand by Carl. "These are the outlands; we must camp here," he said. Carl nodded. Their mission was to rescue the Prince of the Silver Caves from the Depth Landers, and where it would lead no one knew yet. A sudden burst of bird song more beautiful than any nightingale's Carl had ever heard came from a grove of black cones, and Ejin whispered, That is the song of the firebird." It was only the first of wonders Carl would see in this land close to earth's fire-heart, a land now held by the DarkStone Lord. Tomorrow they would find the city. He did not dream what lay ahead would take them all where not even a Depth Dweller wanted to go.
