Originally published in The Hollywood Quarterly in Young Writers which is the TOP HONOR! Arion and Azura are two young rambunctious raccoons who live in Blue Mountain, a land of plenty. One day, they stumble across a map marking the spot of the long lost Jynx Stone, a stone that holds the power over all the lands. Having never roamed outside the borders of their own safe sanctuary, Arion and Azura venture out into the dangerous world beyond Blue Mountain to find this stone. They soon discover danger lurks around every corner and no one can be trusted. They run into a few odd characters on their journey, including Juno, a sly fox who tries to trick them; Finley, a very wise crow who tags along; and Wendelina, a colossal spider looking for dinner. They courageously make their way through the Black Forest, a place where some enter—never to be seen again. Encountering danger and numerous obstacles along the way, Arion and Azura stay committed to their quest of finding the stone, determined to place it into the safe hands of Eli, ruler over Blue Mountain. Will they succeed, or will it fall into evil hands?
