“Moonlight flooded through tall arches in the walls. The floor shined like a skating rink. Thick columns of sparkling ice held up a domed ceiling. “WELCOME, JACK AND ANNIE,” boomed a voice from beyond the columns. Jack gasped. “Is that Merlin?” he whispered. “It does not sound like Merlin,” whispered Teddy. “But how does he know our names?” whispered Annie. “COME, JACK AND ANNIE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU,” bellowed the voice. “Maybe it is Merlin!” said Annie. “Maybe he’s just using a differen...t voice! Come on!” “Annie, wait!” Jack called. But Annie had already disappeared into the sparkly room. “We have to follow her,” he said to Teddy and Kathleen. The three of them hurried after Annie.

He was dressed in a worn robe trimmed with dirty fur. He had a rugged, weather-beaten face, a bushy beard, and a black eye patch.MoreLessRead More Read Less
