Valerian examined the crystal given to her. "Hmm, interesting. You said you found this in the Valley?"

Matthew nodded.

"There was someone I used to know that owned this, but she's long gone."

"Who was it?" Matthew asked her.

"She was the daughter of a merchant and miner.....her father was the one who gave it to her as a present. She wasn't a witch though, but her father thought it suited her." Valerian took another look at the crystal.

"Yes, it's known as The Apple of Eden, which was fitting for her. Eden was her assassin name."

"The girl was an assassin?" Max then spoke. Valerian nodded.

"The story goes that she and her brothers killed the king and queen."

"What? Why?" Zack wondered.

"Their wealth."

Matthew changed the subject. "Okay, I don't know much about the old Biblical texts about the place known as Heaven on Earth?"

"That's Lemuria, what you're talking about is The Garden of Eden."

"What does this have to do with the crystal?"
