Searching For The Missing Shard

“Woah!”

Silvia and Amich emerged from the portal, fragments of their bodies slowly pieced themselves back together. It was a strange sensation, like being caught in a whirlwind of shards and then suddenly snapping back into place. Before they knew it, they were whole again, tumbling onto the grass by the stream.

Silvia quickly leapt to her feet, spotting the Cronos Monolith as it fell from the portal and into the water. Without a second thought, she reached out and grabbed it, narrowly avoiding the rushing current that threatened to sweep it away.

"That was too close," she breathed, relieved that they had escaped the crusaders. But her relief was short-lived as she realized they were back in the 21st century, far from where they wanted to be.

"What went wrong?" Amich asked, looking up at his sister with wide, scared eyes.
