The Crystal Keepers, An Overseers Novel

  Silas stepped into the cave. It was empty. No visible signs of anyone inside. He stood in the center, observing the walls, and smiled. He was pleased that no one was visible. If they were, it would mean that someone had failed. As he looked around, he picked out three vague anomalies that blended in color and shape with the walls.

  “You can remove your blindfolds now.”

  The indistinct shapes moved as Loki, Kado and Waysu reached up with their hands to remove their blindfolds. Their eyes fluttered open and they looked around. Then they stepped away from the rock wall, where they had morphed to blend in perfectly with its surface, and returned to their distinct physical forms.

  “Well done,” commended Silas. “You crossed the bridge to the inner senses.”

  Morten stepped into the cave behind Silas. “And it couldn’t have been sooner. The forces are close to figuring it out.”
