Ancient Guardians The Legacy of the Key Read Online Free PDF

really need to know
who you guys are. You should understand my apprehension about going any farther
with you two. We should have crashed into that mountain a moment ago, and now
I’m seeing trees and grass that seem to sparkle and glow. I’m sure you both
know that I was well aware of what happened that day on the airplane, too. I
know you both had something to do with it. I want answers before I concede to
go anywhere else with you.”
    Harrison sighed.
“Levi and I are from another dimension known as Pemdas. For many years, our
people have protected those on Earth, and many other dimensions as well.”
    Her eyes narrowed.
“Pemdas? I’m in another dimension?”
    Harrison nodded.
“It is why we did not crash into the hillside when we brought you out of Earth.
We went through a vortex, which leads into the outer boundaries of our
dimension.”
    Her heart raced.
“My friends. What about my friends? They’ll be expecting me. What will they
think happened to me?”
    Harrison stepped
out of the car and walked around to open her door for her. “Your absence will
go undetected. There’s been a—a stand-in—created to take your place. It’s
perfectly programmed; no one will question it.”
    Reece had lost the
power to keep her confident expression under control, and she stared at the man
in disbelief.
    He watched her
speculatively. “As we have both mentioned earlier, we are prepared to tell you
everything; but please, not here. Allow us to bring you to a more relaxed
environment.” And with that, he turned and walked to the back of the car,
leaving Reece standing there, speechless.
    She started to
become angry. He still hadn’t answered her about the bizarre events on the
airplane. “But—”
    Before she could
speak up, she was interrupted by Levi, who had gotten out of the car, and had
been staring down at the object in his hand. He dropped the object into a side
pocket, and walked over to her. His expression was commanding and extremely
serious. “Miss Bryant, we have every intention of answering all your questions.
Unfortunately, it’s more than a five-minute conversation, and we have another
short journey ahead. I ask that you will have a little more patience, and that
you allow us to get you to a more comfortable place. My father is waiting for
us, and he will explain everything. There will be a lot for you to try to
comprehend. Anything we tell you now will only lead to more questions. Please
give us the opportunity to make you more comfortable…for your sake.”
    Reece looked up
into the handsome man’s somber face. Concern was apparent from the way he
stared down thoughtfully into her eyes. She gazed at him and after a moment,
conceded with a nod.
    “Very well, then.
Allow me to escort you to the gates, and we will be on our way shortly.” He
turned to his cousin. “The horses will be here momentarily.”
    He offered his arm
to Reece. As she slowly placed her arm in his, he looked down to her and asked,
“I hope you don’t mind traveling by horse from here?”
    She
stared at him in astonishment. “Would it matter if I did?”
    He laughed softly
and escorted her toward the gate. “No.”
    She remained quiet
as Levi led her through the gates. She was now able to see what was beyond the
end of the black, glossy road. She assumed the reason they were waiting for
horses was because, beyond the gate, there was only a dirt trail that cut
through bright green grass, with trees scattered here and there. Some of the
trees looked ordinary; some were white-barked with red leaves. The place
breathed peace, like a new morning. It had to have been the fascinating glow of
the foliage and trees throughout the forest, or maybe it was how much lighter
the air felt here; whatever the reason, Reece didn’t feel as tense as she had
been.
    “Why do we have to
ride horses? Just because the road ended?” It seemed odd that this would be
their method of transportation after just having been in a
