In Castle Bramblewood, the fires had gone cold, the fountains slowed to a trickle, the bells hung silent, and the garden had stopped growing. Cael couldn't even toast a marshmallow or splash in the fountain anymore. He tugged his crown straight and frowned. Something was very wrong.

His mom and dad, the King and Queen, sat him down. 'Long ago,' said the Queen, 'four magic stones kept our kingdom humming β€” Fire warms our fireplaces, Water fills our fountains, Wind carries our bells, and Earth grows our garden. Find each one, and that one magic wakes again.'

Cael thought of marshmallow toasting and splashy fountain days, and felt something brave bubble up inside him. 'I will find them,' he said. His parents smiled and nodded, and Cael packed his bag for the journey.

Ahead, one path climbed toward a towering, smoking mountain. The other wound through a misty forest, where Cael could hear a far-off roar of falling water. Which way should Cael go?
