"Spot, where's mum and dad?" Liz asks as she approached the younger of her two older brothers with a hand full of mail.

"They went out," Spot said as he grabbed the mail off of Liz. There was only one letter, addressed to his father. "Do you think dad would mind if I opened his letter?"

"I'll say I opened it, dad can't get angry at me," Spot laughed at Liz's words, as unfair as it is it's true. "Perks of being the youngest." The sealed paper made a small whipping sound as the envelope was open, Spot grabbed out the letter and started to read,

"Son.

When is the next time you and the kids can visit? I need to speak to you, it's important. Do you remember the black rocks?-"

"Black rocks?" Spot folded the paper and placed inside his pocket, not wanting to read anymore of the letter to Liz. The six year old took note of this. "Spot, let me read it!" She tried grabbing it out of his pockets but he was faster then her.

"Tell Ev that his is incharge of the bakery," Spot left the bakery and ran to the palace, Cece's hair was triggered and now there are black rocks, that wasn't an coincidence.

As he walked to the palace he continued to read the letter,

"It was a month ago when the black rocks first showed, there is only two rocks I can find but a month ago there was only one.
Son, if it isn't too much trouble, the people would feel safest if you come and check out the rocks, see if they are the black rocks or just rocks at happen to be black.

I don't even begin to know what it means if the black rocks are back, is the Queen's hair back?

Sincerely, lots of love.

-Dad"

"Do you know what this means?" Spot asked Cece fearfully, "If the black rocks are back then our theory was right, someone has the moonstone and history says that they are a tickling bomb."

Cece sighed, she wanted to go with him to Old Corona but she can't, "I'm sorry, it's just being regent... it's a full time job."

"I go with you!" Alex said enthusiastically, he was helping Lex with her job since Lex has been busy with classes. Alex looked at Spot, his face practically begging Spot to let him come.

"Like hell you will." Lex and Alex glared at eachother, the two having an arguement through their eyes. Alex blow air in her eyes causing her to lose, "Hey! That's cheating. Alex you aren't going, it could be dangerous."

"Spot's going and I'm older then him, it could be dangerous for him," the young blond argued, him being one of the only people who has the guts to stand up to Lex though he is her little brother after all, he knows her when nobody is watching.

Cece looked over to the clock, she had to leave now but she knew she had to slove this arguement because nobody else is going to, "Lex, Alex and Spot you three go go Old Corona and yes, Lex, you have to go since you will technically be paid while your gone."

Lex shot Cece a glare and Alex wondered, was this a win or a cruel punishment? Spot knew which one it was for him.

➶➴➵.

Spot stood in front of his grandfather's home, it's been a while since he last been to Old Corona, two years exactly. Though it was only three weeks ago when he last saw his grandfather, the two were close, but no where near as close as Liz and Quirin. The sharp sound of Spot's hand colliding with the hard wooden door echoed in the small house, footsteps following. "Spot! What are you doing here?" Quirin engulfed his grandson, giving him a huge hug.

"A-alittle tight Pop," Spot struggling to breathe within his grandfather's grip, Quirin let go of him and for a moment Spot recollected his breath. "I'm here because of your letter, dad was busy, so Lex, Alex and me came."

"It nice to meet you again Sir," Lex said with a smile, a smile which Quirin returned? Spot and Alex looked at Lex mind blown, Spot and Alex had just witnessed something which no one would ever believe.

"Alexandria, it is also a pleasure to see you again," He turned to Spot and closed his door, "I'll show you three to the rock."

They didn't need to walk far, just to down the road, to the last house on the street. Spot looked around until he saw it! A small black rock in the ground, it was barely up to his knee it was that small. "How is that a threat to anyone?" Alex asked as he touched it, nothing happened, it seemed like just a normal rock.

Spot grabbed out a drawing which his father did of the black rocks and it looked exactly how Varian drew it. "That's a black rock."

"Shit."
