"There's only one problem," Petra groaned, "it's blocked off by some rocks. The cave there is completely filled, I don't know how you want to do this. But whatever you do make sure the cave is safe, we don't want it capsizing on us. And if it isn't then Lukas and I will start looking for new locations."

"So go get some rest, tell us if it's safe by tomorrow afternoon. You are dismissed." Lukas said.

~~~

The five left the building and walked to their homes, Axel pulled Dan aside. "What are we going to do? The cave... they can't make a mine there!"

"Why?" Dan asked. "I mean yeah it was our old cave but it'll be good for the town. Maybe it'll finally give us some closure."

"Dan, Magnus told me before he disappeared that no one should mine in that cave. It's cursed or something!"

Dan rolled his eyes. "Axel in a world of potions and magic, I don't think curses are real."

"Alright then fine. Be that way, but if something happens to us or someone else it's on you!" Axel grunted and walked away, trying to catch up with Olivia.

As Dan was making his way back to the farm he started thinking to himself. Sure the cave was basically my home away from home but it's probably time to move on. I made some bad decisions... okay it was a stupid decision but I regret nothing! Trying to defeat Ein was what I wanted to do, but then he just vanished. Or from what Petra tells everyone, she killed him. Good. We need less of Ein, he's the reason why Romeo was killed, which lead to Aiden disbanding the pack, which is why only me and Axel are left!

Dan kicked a rock and thought some more. Stupid Ein! He scared me for life! Litteraly, because of him I have stupid scars on me. But all the ladies say that they make me look hot, I guess that isn't so bad. Gah! This never should've happened! No one should've died and we shouldn't be going into that stupid cave! Whatever, water under the bridge or something like that... I don't know why Lukas and Petra couldn't do it. They're probably going to be doing some freaky shit or something with tentacles... eww!

The next morning...

That morning just as the sun was coming over ten horizon; Jess, Olivia, Axel, Dan, and Stampy started heading to spot where they're supposed to be looking at. Jess lead the way with an old map that was really outdated, followed by Olivia and Axel who were carrying some redstone, pickaxes and a little bit of gunpowder for removing the rocks. Stampy was just admiring nature, and Dan was dragging behind.

Of course, Dan and Axel already knew the way but wanted to let Jess have a little bit of glory. She was the one who did a lot of adventuring! Plus they didn't want to look suspicious, being werewolves and all.

When they got there instantly memories flooded back to Axel and Dan. It was both painful and a little bit delightful to be back. But they where also horrified to see their cave buried in rocks, but that's what they where here to do.

"Alright gang," said Jess, "grab a pickaxe and let's start clearing away some of these rocks!"

"Why can't we just blow it up?" Asked Axel.

"Because you would make the cave capsize again, and we want this cave to be. Oh I don't know. Usable." Olivia mocked.

"Aw man..." Axel whined.

Jess picked up two pickaxes and handed them to Olivia and Axel who started to chip away one of the rocks. When she picked up two more she walked over to Dan and Stampy, handing them over. "You know out of all the years we've known each other, I never really talked to you guys. How are you?"

"Never better! Werewolves are gone, the town is doing great. Everything's amazing!" Stampy smiled. Dan nodded in agreement.

Jess put a hand on Stampy's shoulder. "I uh... I know this isn't a good time to bring this up. But... I'm sorry we couldn't save Stacy."

"You did your best, I can't be mad at someone who tried their best." Stampy said, smile still on his face.

"Well they didn't try hard enough," Dan growled as he joined Axel and Olivia to chip away the rocks.

Jess looked at him then back at Stampy. "Is he always like this?"

"Not really, just don't bring it up again. He'll cool off it you just drop it for now."

"But it's been years since she died, he should be over it by now. But then again I'm not one to be saying this. I'm still not completely over Jesses disappearance. And from what I know, Stacy cared about you both a lot. Like more than Petra cared about her weapons, and that's saying something. Come on, we aren't being any help just standing here." Jess smiled back at Stampy and thy joined the rest of the group.

A few hours pasted and they where about a third into the cave, or at least a third if Dan remembered how big the cave was exactly.

"I'm just saying things would be a little quicker if we had some TNT!" Axel argued.

"But that would blow the whole cave up!" Olivia argued back.

"What if we only use a little gunpowder and a little TNT? I have some with me and it wouldn't hurt to try!" Axel suggested.

Stampy looked at Axel and said, "I'm starting to think you only want to blow something up..."

"Well Jess is the leader here, so what do you think?" Dan asked her.

Jess put down her pickaxe and thought about it for a moment. "Well... a little TNT wouldn't hurt. Let's try it. At this rate it'll be tomorrow afternoon when we're finished. Just be careful guys."

Axel did a little victory dance and Olivia put a hand over her face, knowing that this was a bad idea. So Axel took the tiny piece of TNT from his pocket and slipped it in a whole between some of the rocks. "And a dash on gunpowder here... and a little more over there... and then... done!" Axel said. He ran back over to the group which where hiding behind some treed in case things went south. So with the little trail of gunpowder Axel made, Jess lit it up with a flint and steel and hid behind the tree and the cave exploded. Unknown to them there was already TNT in there, left by someone or something before the cave collapsed.

The blast being larger than expected, sent bits and pieces of rocks flying everywhere! And when the dust settled the group looked at the cave and saw that it was completely cleared. Axel with a smug look on his face said, "I told you it would work Olivia!"

Olivia ignored him and was the first to enter the cave, followed by Jess. "Seems safe enough!" Said Jess. And the rest of the group went in. Dan remembered being in there like it was yesterday. The little rock that Stella used to sleep on was no longer there but he could still picture it. He saw the place where he would chase his tail like a puppy, and the spot where Aiden sat waiting for Romeo each night. Even where Magnus and Ellegaard had their quarrels.

In the quietness of the cave someone said, "Holy shit..."

It was Axel and when the rest of the group walked over to see what he was cussing about they where in shock. A skeleton it was partially burnt from the blast, some of the clothing was burnt, and a few bones missing. Everyone knew who it was... it was Magnus. From his clothing to the way he was positioned, it was clear who it was. And when Jess and Olivia saw extra bones that looked like a tail and wolf ears, they knew he was a Werewolf or maybe something of that sort?

Axel had no words, he always had a hunch that he was dead but never really believed himself. Magnus was too tough to be dead, what happened? Did some TNT go off and cave him in? Was that why the explosion cleared out the whole cave? Too many questions filled his mind which none of them would ever be entered.

So as Axel stood there looking at Magnus' skeleton (Olivia at his side), the rest looked around the cave some more when Dan found a trap door under where the alphas rock would be. "Axel. Mind giving me a hand with this?" But Axel didn't respond. So instead Jess helped him lift the door, and at first it looked empty but then light (possibly from torches) lit up and it looked like to be some sort of hallway.

Dan was about to jump in but was held back by Olivia, "Are you crazy? This thing is probably boob trapped! Watch." She threw down a bit of rock that was left into the corridor and watched as arrows started to fire away. Only stopping a second later.

"Okay so we could die. What do we do?" Dan asked.

Jess boasted, "Well if I know someone who understands redstone and traps it's Olivia. What do we do buddy?"

Olivia rubbed her chin and thought for a moment. "I need to get down there..."

"Are you crazy!" Axel yelled, finally acknowledging what they where doing.

"This is probably old redstone, I can take out one piece and it'll be disarmed. And I think the blast probably knocked out some of it's defenses."

Without another word Olivia dropped down, avoiding the arrows and moved some dirt. Once she move he dirt she took out some redstone and arrows stopped shooting out of dispensers. The redstone lost its creepy red glow and only the torches lit up the corridor. "It's safe, you can come down now!" Olivia yelled back up, even if they where just right there.

So one by one the five dropped down and walked throughout the hallway. Seeing the cracked and almost broken wooden beams made them question if it would hold. When they got to the end the saw a book on a stone pedestal. They where cautious, after all before they where just plain reckless, but what if this book was another trap? So Dan decided to take charge and he opened the book, keeping it on it's little holder mind you. He flipped page after page and it was all spells and potions that no one has ever heard of.

"Potion of shape shifting... potion of the toad... potion of dragons... potion of resurrection... love spells?... potion of-"

Stampy cut off Dan before he could say the next potion. "Resurrection? Go back!" He shoved Dan out of the way and flipped back a few pages. "Potion of Resurrection: a potion that will bring a deceased person back from the dead. All you need is a scale from a dragon, the liver of a horse, the eggs of a big mouthed bass, a blessing of a fairy, and a piece of something they had. This potion has never been tested, so there is no guarantee that it'll work. But hopefully if done correctly I could bring back the dead. - E"

Axel cocked his head to one side. "Who's E?"

"Does that matter?" Olivia groaned.

"This book seems to be completely made up. Dragons? Fairies? Resurrection? It just seems like a bunch of malarkey to me." Said Jess.

"I agree, let's go guys." Dan said.

But as everyone else started walking back through the corridor, Stampy closed the book and hid it under his sweater and catched up with the rest if the group who was lifting each other out of the hole.

~~~

Back at the Mayors office Jess had to explain that the cave didn't seem safe. That there was a dead body and possibly it was a place where werewolves went to die. She even threw in something about the book.

"So... not safe then?" Lukas said confused about what Jess just said.

"Yes, very unsafe. I say we just leave it alone for some wolves to take. We'll find another place to start the mine."

"What do you mean we? This is something Lukas and I are doing." Petra grumbled.

"Well if you guys want to look at caves then I'm going to be the one to explore them!" Jess boasted, it seemed to be a part of her personality to boast.

Petra and Lukas glanced at each other until Lukas nodded in approval. And the three of them rolled out a new map and started marking other spots to search.

That night Stampy was going to test out something he's never done before. Nobody knows he stole the book, but from looking at it's almost plane cover he felt attached to it. And if there was a chance, even a small one to bring someone back to life, he would take it. Starting with Stacy.

So he gathered the ingredients he thought the book meant, instead of random impossible ones. He got the scale of an iguana, a piece of cow meat, eggs from a bass (it was the one ingredient he got right), some water that Nurm blessed, and a piece of leather from Stacy's old boots that he tried to repair for her. Turns out, Stampy has no idea how to repair shoes. But now he had all the things he needed to create the point.

So he threw it all in a pot and started to read the words on the bottom of the page that said chant. "Let thou rise up again, come forth and walk on land again. Let these pieces of magic guide you toward me, follow the light and the sound of the voice that is mine. Come, come, and make the valleys shine once more, and roam these great lands forever more."

Bursts of bubbles and some sort of flashing light the liquid turned into a shade of almost clear white. "I guess it's done?" Stampy said, though it was more of a question to himself.

With a glass bottle he scooped the water from the pot into the bottle. Some of the potion was still left so he put the lid on the pot and took it with him along with the potion. Putting the potion and book in his satchel, Stampy exited his wagon and went towards the farm. But in the darkness he sort of got a little lost and ended up near the forest, so making a quick turn around decision (and even Stampy doesn't know why he did this). Tool the lid off the pot and dumped the rest of the contents on the ground, dropped the pot and lid, then ran away. If you where there you could see Stampys eyes quickly flash from Green to Gold and back to Green.

When he finally got to his destination, he went to the side of the barn where Stacy's body lay in the dirt. Taking the potion out of his satchel he looked at it for a brief moment then threw it on the ground, smashing into a million pieces and the liquid seeped into the ground. And so Stampy waited, waited for something to happen. But nothing.

"Okay," he told himself, "I'll give it a few minutes."

A few minutes gone by and nothing happened. He waited for a few more and still nothing. Twenty minutes passed and he was still standing there. In frustration he pulled out the book and flipped to the page of the potion. "Stupid book! Why did I listen to you? Why did I believe you? God I'm so stupid!" His eyes flashed from green to gold again. Like a little kid with a light switch, on and off, on and off, on and off. Until finally his eyes remained that rich gold color.

Thanks to his almost cat like senses, Stampy ran off when he heard a door open. It was to the barn and Dan walked out confused, he was just feeding the cows and he heard someone yelling. Walking over to the grave he saw some glass there and decided to pick it up. "Stupid kids..." He said before heading back inside.

Both men completely unaware of what's about to come.
