They came to Josh's village. It looked much better then when he left — he couldn't even remember when that was now.

'So this is it? It's wonderful here. Not only a beautiful landscape, but it is open and free. No one has even seen it for many years,' said Rastlin.

'I have a surprise for you,' said Josh, blindfolding Rastlin before he found the surprise by exploring himself...

About five minutes later, Josh said, 'Okay, you can look.'

'Wow! A enormous battle stadium! I thought this was a small town,' said Rastlin.

'It was, but many generations ago it was a huge city that took much pride in its battling. But like all good things, it became lesser with the advent of the new ceiling grid stadiums. But we revived it and found that we could actually awaken magic in the walls to make stronger than any shield, even the most powerfully concentrated shield of 50 master magicians!' said Josh.

'Wow,' said Rastlin, 'then this is perfect! But do the walls still work?'

'They had just been turned off before. Besides, a building this size surviving a huge fire? And how did you think those boulders against the walls got there? They had tried to destroy this building. It would have collapsed if it didn't have the magic stones.'

'But wouldn't that make a weak spot?' asked Rastlin.

'No, since I could hold that with a weak barrier.'

'Okay then, let's try to figure out how to awaken the weapons.'

'I'm not finished yet,' said Josh. 'This isn't just any village either; it was said this was the city,' said Josh.

'The city, you mean from the Legend of the Three? The original place of living at the beginning of time and space?!' asked Rastlin.

'Yes,' said Josh.

'And that's really why you chose this place?' asked Rastlin.

'Also true, but we still must awaken the weapons,' said Josh.
