The journey is long and arduous as the well lies on the far side of a distant mountain range and the lands beyond Upmeads are full of treacherous characters.

The question is, what will he do with his newfound powers?

Lewis. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
