lsthilli looked up at the sound of the door shutting. "Jonny! Jessie! You
are safe! Wonderful!"
"Glad to see you, too, lsthilli. Where to now?"
lsthilli grew suddenly very serious. "Now, we go fulfill the legends.
Farewell, Samurai, and wish us luck."
"Aren't they coming with us?"
"No, Jonny. The legends do not foretell of us even being in the battle.
Farewell, and good luck."
Yamishuru lowered his head and let Jessie climb onto his back. Jonny
climbed on lsthilli's back, and they walked outside, said goodbye to the
Samurai, spread thier wings ans took off.
Yamishuru looked concerned. "Must they fight Elana now?"
"Yes, Yamishuru. The legends say that after meeting the Samurai, the
battle begins."
"Yes, but must we go to Elana's palace now?"
"Elana has a palace, too?!"
"Yes, Jonny."
"Geez, how many palaces are in this forest?"
"Only three. Elana's is up ahead."
Jessie looked up at a palace that made lsthilli's palace look like a
Monopoly gamepiece.
"Whoa, That is one BIIIIIIIG house."
"You said it, Jess."
lsthilli and Yamishuru landed about one hundred feet from the palace
gate. Jonny and Jessie gazed in awe at the huge wooden door. lt was three
feet thick, at least!
A low rumble echoed in the distance. lt slowly grew into a roar. Jonny
glanced in the direction the sound was coming from.
"Uh, lsthilli?"
"Yes, Jonny?"
"Do the legends mention a stampede?"
"l do not know. Why?"
"Carnotaurs* at three o' clock!"
Jessie jumped down off of Yamishuru's back and was up the nearest tree in
a second. Jonny was right behind her. lsthilli and Yamishuru decided to
outrun it.
The Carnotaurs were there in a second, shaking the ground like a 6.8
earthquake. Jonny lost his grip on the tree and fell. Jessie quickly
grabbed him and pulled him back up.
As soon as the Carnotaurs hit, they were gone. Jonny and Jessie jumped
down on the trampled ground.
"Should we go find Yamishuru and lsthilli, or go with the legends?"
asked Jonny.
"I'd go with the legends. After all. lsthilli said we'd be victorious,
but he never said he'd be with us."
"Hey, you're right. He didn't."
"Well, what are we waiting for?"
Jonny and Jessie headed for the massive gate.

*Carnotaurus (CAR-no-TAW-rus)-One of the most bizarre theropods, with a
deep, horned, bull-like head and dwarfed, useless-looking forelimbs.

Part Twelve
"You FAILED?!?!"
"B-but, your magesty, they were quite strong and stubborn. We-we may not
be able to flex our talons for months!" cowered Wraith.
"SILENCE!! You have failed me, and you know what happens to those who
fail me. Guards! Take these two fools to the dungeon. They are to be
executed at dawn."
"Yes, your magesty."
The overly frustrated Quetzalcoatlus sat back in her throne.*Humph. lf
you want something done today, you must do it yourself. Difficult finding
good help these days. l must find these...these foretold ones before they
destroy me.* the Queen quickly corrected herself. *What am l saying? None
can destroy me! l am the mighty Elana!* She turned to a complex wall of
computers behind her. *But do the legends fortell of me having the power of
the microchip?* She turned to a wall of monitors situated behind her, each
linked to a security camera somwhere in the palace.
But something caught her eye in the monitor linked to the main hall. She
squinted at the black-and-white picture on the monitor.
Just as she had suspected.
Two human teenagers.
*lt would appear our ''guests'' are already here.*
"Yuck. l'm bringing an interior decorator in here."
"Tell me about it. This Elana character must have *VERY* lowbrow taste,
or at least that would explain the moss and cobwebs."
"l'm telling ya, Jess. l'm now looking forward to busting Elana's butt,
getting out of here, and finding Dad and Race."
Jessie pulled out a torch, but it only went out so far and stuck. She
pulled it harder, but it wouldn't budge.
"Uh, Jess? l think that's a lever, not a real torch."
"A lever for what?"
A section of the wall slid away, revealing a computer terminal. Jessie
looked up at the wall and saw the security camera. "Uh, oh." She quickly
typed in a command, and the light on the camera went off.
Back in the control room, all the security monitors went dead. Elana
pounded her wing on the keyboard in frustration. *lt would appear someone
else here is skilled with computers. That would leave me to find them
myself!*
She turned, spread her wings, and headed for the main hall, her eyes
glinting in anger.
