The sky looked like an upside down ocean in the chilling October night. A pale light appeared within the rolling dark blue clouds. The light slowly burned brighter in the form of a blazing triangle. Deep, rhythmic booming shot out across the sky. Bright white beams of light shot out in a slow spiral across the sky. A dark, blank face stared out of every dirty blue stained glass window. Drew stared transfixed by the ghostly faces just staring directly at them. Blake turned back, scanning the empty street curving back down into the dark maze of Caras Dayermore. They approached a wide complex with five massive high set windows lit under flashing gold light inside. A bench was set just ahead of them. Cade dove underneath, rolled over several times, then jumped up, turning back with a dramatic expression.
“What was the point of that?” asked Blake as he easily stepped up on the bench then stepped back down throwing his arms out wide while shaking his head. Drew easily stepped around it.
“We need to be stealthy,” said Cade. Alien ships raced across the sky. The glowing forest of massive Cashdes Evergreens came sharply into focus on the slopes below leading up to the green flashing alien school of Daylustar. Turning to them with eyes lit Cade said, “This time, we’re finding the way to the statue, and that crystal crown is about to come crashing down.”

At the same time Cade, Blake, and Drew were making their way to the Music Arena and Music Classrooms Hall in Daylustar, Brandon and Damian, two top students in the school, were entering the same hall from the other side. How did these two kids from Devonmay end up here? It all started in a secret meeting they had with the aliens a year ago.
Brandon and Damian were directed to the School Leader’s Office. They sat down in the half-circular marble white room with several blue and red stained-glass windows overlooking the lush valleys far below. Brandon squinted up at the bright shimmering chandelier light spilling out across the room. The two alien leaders of the school sat down in front of the windows on two sparkling white marble chairs. They had white crystal suits on, staring down at the two students with their half-moon white glowing eyes. Brandon adjusted his chair, sliding it across the marble floor making a loud screeching sound. Damian flinched during the high piercing sound. A teenage boy in a bright white suit stood between them and began speaking in a solemn, elevated voice:
“We are developing a new, elite school for music. We are looking for the best and brightest students who can excel in this school.”
“Looks like you found them,” said Brandon, moving his chair further back with a higher piercing sound. Damian punched him in the arm.
“You are in fact the first students we are inviting to the school,” the messenger continued. “We are building the school now, with majestic structures and brilliant, bright shimmering crystal lights. You proved the corrupt elite teachers wrong, those who used to run this school. We are looking for students with creativity to develop great music. This school will be a great opportunity and critical in our fight to defeat the dark spirits.”
“Count us in,” said Brandon. “We are totally focused…” He began to slide his chair, but turning to an annoyed Damian, he picked up his chair and moved it a few inches from the wall. “That should work now,” he said leaning back. Then he sighed dramatically, picking it up again. Damian turned to him with a half-annoyed, half-perplexed look while he then tried measuring the distance from the chair to the wall.
“Will you cut that out?” Brandon sighed and sat down.
“We are not just choosing you to enroll in this school because of your musical skills,” the alien messenger continued. “We watched you in the Caymisdorm when you used your stealth to get past the dark spirits. There are people out there, students and adults who are a cancer to our world, led by the dark spirits who will try to destroy our school. We need you to look out for those who may try to sneak past our defenses and destroy the power we are building to overcome the dark powers in this land.”
Brandon and Damian entered the bright green flashing Music Classrooms. Bright shimmering green chandelier lights flashed rhythmically scattered across the slick black walls rising high toward the triangular ceiling. Brandon kind of danced as they moved down the path lit by small bright shimmering gold lights moving around in rapid circles across the glass floor. They quickly passed various classrooms separated by curtains of green bright shimmering lights flashing to the rhythm of the fast-paced booming music. Damian tapped his sides rhythmically as they entered the garden of Daycrest Evergreens rising high toward the distant ceiling lit up near the top by the shimmering green chandelier lights hanging from the glass ceiling. They raced up the long winding staircase to the top loft overlooking the roof of the Music Arena. Damian pushed hard but Brandon dove across the platform ahead of him.
“AAAAaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhhhh,” said Brandon holding his head.
“You never learn,” said Damian shaking his head. Then the two kids stared out at the field at the entrance to the Music Arena and Music Classrooms Hall. They saw shadows moving. The two kids took out their telescopes to see closer and spotted Cade, Blake, and Drew getting ready to enter the school. Then, Brandon and Damian got in position to track them down, with their weapons at hand…
