The witches of the east had traveled far from home
knowing it was the only way to put the evil curse back
where it belonged.
    To rid the world of the curse they needed to bury the
stone far beneath the earth, in a cool dry place, far away
from civilization where it would be once and for all, out of
harm's way.
As the witches gathered around the burial, they chanted
as they held the stone high.

"Oh great earth take this stone, and rid it of the curse,
make no humans hands touch again, the evilness of its
birth. If it happens earth will turn and power will be
bestowed, let no human be fooled by the power of the
stone. For in its bliss the innocent shall find, a power
stronger then their own, here we stand united as one, to
leave the stone undone. Take the power of it, and stop,
the glitter and the charm, make the stone ordinary, and
keep the world from harm."

     The highest witch ZanJura, threw the stone in the
grave, as the other witches, Ledia, DeZanna, Mihilla, and
Sandare, joined hands, and chanted.
     As they watched the flicker of the stone dim, they
continued their chant until the light was snuffed out.
    Then, and only then was the first pieces of dirt allowed
to hit it.Satisfied, the witches continued with the burial,
then looked at one another as they placed a marker on the
cursed site.
    Turning they left the burial, still holding hands, and
made their way back home.
