14. LYSA'S LIGHT

CHAPTER 14 LYSA'S LIGHT Drake grabbed the flute from midair. As he did so, the hedge wall in front of them swung open like a door. The sun was rising over the horizon, casting orange rays across the ocean. They'd found the flute just in time!

Drake looked at Rune. "Thank you," he said. "If you and Lysa had not entered the labyrinth with us, we would never have gotten the flute." Rune's Dragon Stone glowed, and he grinned. Rune says: I am glad you have what you need to continue your difficult mission. You must hurry though Look! He pointed to the edge of the sky, where the sky-shadow had begun to creep, covering the sun's rays. Darma frowned. "The sky-shadow will not stop until it covers the world," he said.

Rune's eyes narrowed. His Dragon Stone glowed again. Then he climbed on Lysa's back. The Light Dragon took off, flying toward the shadow! "What are Rune and Lysa doing?" Drake wondered.

Lysa's whole body began to glow. A big, bright wave of light poured from the symbol on her chest. The light pushed back the sky-shadow. And the sky turned bright once more. Lysa stopped glowing, and she and Rune landed.

"That was amazing!" Drake cried. Rune says: Lysa's light can push away darkness. But the sky-shadow is too big for her powers alone. You must still use the flute to summon the Star Dragon. Drake nodded. "I know I said 'thank you' before, but how do you sign it?" he asked.

Rune's Dragon Stone glowed. Then he kept his right hand flat and facing himself. He put the tips of his fingers over his lips. Then he moved his hand forward and a little bit down. Drake and Darma repeated the sign.
