Section 7

Part 1


Chapter 1


On the Tranquil diplomat convoy's flying vehicle.


Ace received a call from Tarver, Spirit Island’s leader.


Tarver said, “Ace, some of Spirit Island's missing ancient masks were found a few months ago; they were returned to the mask museum.


“The masks seem to be causing some strange occurrences. They are transporting folks who are visiting the museum briefly to other worlds. The masks seem to have clues on the animal curses and how to stop them. 


“If you have time would you like to visit me in Keyton? I thought you might be interested in helping us try to collect a little information from the masks. We aren't and won't be doing experiments, just checking to see what advice the masks have about the animal curses.”


Ace said, “We should have time. We'll be there in a few hours.”


Chapter 2


The flying vehicle landed in Keyton.


The convoy approached the city castle.
