“I have never heard that legend before,” Jake said. We all agreed with him.

“We have all heard the legend of how werewolves were created to protect the moon goddess, this was nothing like it. So

what if it is a clue in disguise?” Amie suggested. I nodded.

“So the man and the wolf carrying each other on their backs,” I thought out loud.

“It may be telling us to do the same?” Jake asked.

“That would make sense as it would mean we couldn’t be five, it needs to be even numbers and that’s why I’m in here,”

‘Can you see my key and read it?’ Jake asked.

‘I can. Thank you for leaving it.’ Jake shrugged.

‘Hard to take the floor with you,’ he said, and we all chuckled.

‘It says: Looking forward can make you understand the present,’ Ramses told us.

“What does that mean?” I asked out loud.

“Look at the floor behind us,’ Jake said. I turned around, still with Amie on my back. What we had seen as a wall was

really a ledge. We stood on a flat floor. There was a large floor surface with a grid in front of us. Each square was about

two by two feet in size. In the middle of each was a symbol. The grid was four squares wide by nine squares long.
