It was an accident. 
It shouldn't have happened.
But, the deed has been done, they must face their fears or die. 
Jeff and his friend Matt were playing in Max Peter's laboratory when they accidentally touched an ancient relic, the Slate of Vale, which was the key to the prison of the world deadliest creature. Vortex.
Now, the prison of Vortex has vanished, together with the Slate of Vale, and nobody knows where except the two boys.
Both boys were forced to swear never to reveal the location of the Slate of Vale to anyone, but that was before they knew that the slate of vale was the only thing keeping the world from crumbling.
Will they reveal the sacred secret to the world and die? Or will Vortex escape the prison and hunt them?
Either way, their fate has been sealed.

The Slate Of Vale

Vanessa led him through the lobby, whose emptiness was a twin to the room he had been sleeping in. The rigidity of the wall shimmered like a scale, with foundation, looking as though it was carved out from the bedrock of mother earth. The floor was neat and sparkling, almost as if they were punished. It was obvious, intense sweeping and scrubbing kept it the way it was.


Jeff and Vanessa walked abreast silently, and from the corner of his eyes, Jeff could see the calm posture on Vanessa's shoulders. The comfort she found with the stone walls was admirable. Her being herself made the problems of the outside world abstract, almost as if they don't exist.


"How long have you stayed here?" Jeff dared to ask.


"Forever, I think. As long as I can remember. I was born here, nurtured and raised with the stones." She waved her hands, "This has always been my home."


The girl shrugged, "There is nothing out there, not for a gold anyway."
