Calix and Megan were the best friends in the whole world as children. They would go to school together, go to have a snack together afterwards and they would never say goodbye, because they would always see each other again the next day. However, Calix and Megan shared a secret.

One day, while they were out of an expedition in the forest, they found a huge cage

-Calix- Megas whispered- We should come back to the entrance, this cage was not here yesterday and It looks odd

-What do you consider odd? It is just a cage -He answered

-Yeah, it might be just a cage but the rocks look too arranged to be simply a cage. Plus, I swear we did not see it yesterday -She insists

-Maybe we got distracted -He answeres sharply - Let me just take a quick view -He said before getting into the cage.

Megan, against her logic thoughts, followed him into the cage. It was wide and dark, with no holes to see the sun. It was like being floating in nothing. Eventually, they both stopped and looked at each other.

Among all the grey rocks, there was a single small rock in gold

-Maybe someone painted it to make a joke -Calix said but Megan frowned

-Why would they make a joke in a cage where no one gets in? -Cuestioned and Calix decided to take the rock and examine it

-It is odd

-See? -Megan smiled- Finally we agree in something! Let's just get out of here , I am starting to feel weird about this place.

But when Calix tried to walk, the rock made him stay in his place. The rock was a legendary object , used to develop magic powers to the one that hold it. At that moment, Calix felt the power consumming him until Megan stopped it and threw the rock onto the floor.

-That is dangerous, your eyes turned red -She said scared and Calix nodded

-I felt it consumming me

-We have to make a promise- Megan suggests -We are not touching that rock ever again, until we know what it is about

-Deal -He promised and hold her hand. He wrapped the rock in a tissue and put it into his bag -We have to make sure no one finds it

Years have passed, and Calix could not forget the sensation of power he had while holding the rock. It was buried on Megan's garden and every day, he craved the chance to hold that rock
