"Man, this room is a dead end. there's not even a window in here" Zach said in anguish. he had come here with the guys to find some cool stuff. now there where trapped in a mansion. Steve was checking out the kitchen and dining room.
Miles was searching behind the staircase. William was searching through the bedrooms. Finally, Spike the plant-man was exploring the greenhouse. he had decided to take the left upper hall. the Latino boy decided to check the room directly opposite the study.
on the door, it said portrait gallery. entering it revealed a surprise to the teen. pieces of art ranging from millions to billions. even with the age of the place they were in remarkably well condition. he saw the chimera in a battle against an armored warrior.
next, he saw a futuristic sight with 2 robots standing back to back. one was male and red the other was female and pink. next, he saw a pack of wolves hunting a frightened rabbit. he looked to the adjacent wall and saw 3 more portraits. the first on this wall was just a picture of an enchanted forest.
next was a portrait of the manor in its heyday. finally was the portrait of a spaceship in the cosmos. "these things must be worth a fortune" he said touching one of them. for some reason, he smelled flowers as he did so. 'Weird this is the only room I haven't seen those multicolored things'.
he then pulled his hand off the portrait and kept looking. he suddenly felt dizzy and sat down. he didn't realize that paint had come off the portrait he touched. What's stranger was the thing he touched was now missing from its portrait.
