Chapter 10 They're All Here
Jack opened his eyes. It was so dark he couldn't see anything.
He felt his clothes. He was wearing his T-shirt and jeans again.The leather bag had turned back into his backpack.
"Hello," said Morgan le Fay. Her voice came from the corner of the tree house.
"Hi!" said Annie. "Did you have a good journey?" asked Morgan.
"I did," said Jack, "but girls can't do anything fun in ancient Greece."
"I did one fun thing," Annie said wistfully. "I rode in a chariot pulled by a flying horse."
"That must have been wonderful," said Morgan."You were very lucky to be bringing me the story of Pegasus." "Who?" said Jack.
"Pegasus," said Morgan. "He's the great white winged horse in Greek mythology."
"Oh, yeah," said Jack. "I think I've heard of him."
He felt in his backpack and found the scroll.He gave it to Morgan. He could still barely see her in the dark.
"It was written by Anonymous," said Annie.
"I know," said Morgan. "Many talented women used that name in the past.Her story will be a great addition to my Camelot library."
"Plato helped us find it," said Jack.
"Ah, my good friend Plato," said Morgan. "He was one of the greatest thinkers who ever lived."
"And Pegasus was the greatest horse," said Annie.She sighed. "I just wish I could see him again."
"You can," Morgan said softly. "He's here right now." "Pegasus?" cried Annie. "Oh, boy!"
Annie turned on the flashlight and used it to find her way down the rope ladder.
Jack grabbed his backpack and followed her.
When they were both standing on the ground, Annie shined her flashlight at the dark trees.
"Pegasus?" she said. "Where are you? Pegasus?"
"Turn off your flashlight, Annie," said Morgan.She was looking down from the tree house window. Annie switched off the light.
"In the night, you can see all the story characters that saved you on your last four missions," said Morgan."They are all here - Hercules and the silk weaver; Sarph, the serpent monster; and Pegasus."
Jack pushed his glasses into place and studied the dark woods.
"Where are they, Morgan?" cried Annie. "Where's Pegasus?"
"Look hard," said Morgan. "I can't see him!" said Annie.
"Yes, you can," said Morgan. "The old stories are always with us. We are never alone."
Has Morgan gone crazy? wondered Jack.
"Look up," said Morgan. "Your friends are in the night sky. They are stars."
"Stars?" whispered Jack. He stared at the shimmering field of tiny stars overhead.
"Hercules is a constellation," said Morgan."The Romans imagined him kneeling in the sky, holding a club over his head."
Morgan waved her finger at the sky.For a moment Jack saw a living, breathing Hercules outlined by stars.
"And there's the silk weaver, with her beloved cowherd," said Morgan."The ancient Chinese believed that they were two stars on either side of the Milky Way."
Morgan waved her hand again. The lovely silk weaver was outlined in the heavens."And long ago, the Irish believed the Milky Way itself was the serpent monster Sarph," said Morgan.
Morgan waved her hand. A giant serpent glittered through the sky.
"And the ancient Greeks named one of their constellations Pegasus," said Morgan.
She waved her hand again and the white horse's head, wings, and galloping legs glowed in the sky.
