''The Stonekeeper's Curse'' is the second volume in the ''Amulet'' series. The fantasy comic was written by Kazu Kibuishi, and is a successful bestseller. It was written in 2009. == Summary == Emily, her brother and their crew of robots continue to travel in the underground world to the city of Kanalis to find an antidote for her mother. At the same time, the elf Trellis continues to hunt Emily down, due to her denial of agreeing to join him to fight his evil father, The Elf King. While Emily mourns for her mother, the robot Cogsley is currently teaching Navin how to control the robotic house. When the crew arrives at Kanalis, they find humanoid animals. Almost immediately, Trellis is accompanied by the Elf Luger, who like Trellis and Emily , is also a stonekeeper. As Emily seeks the town's doctor, elves begin to invade Kanalis which puts the city under depression. A humanoid fox and smart warrior named Leon Redbeard offers to be Emily's bodyguard, but is rejected from the robot Miskit, despite Emily thinking it a good idea. When the elves shoot a cannon on the hospital the crew is in, everyone in the building is evacuated to a train, except for Emily, Leon and Miskit, who begins to dislike Leon. Leon leads them through underground so they could reach their destination, Demon Mountain, in which the doctor claimed that magical curing fruit is on top of the mountain, which could cure Emily's mother. Many people and elves who have attempted this quest have never come back. Soon they are encountered once again by elves. Leon is able to protect Emily for a bit with his sword and punching skills, but almost dies in doing so. Emily saves him with her magical amulet, astonishing Leon, the elves and Miskit. At the same time, elves invade the robotic house, and the robots have no choice but to shut themselves down so the elves don't collect data. When the humanoid bull Balin shows Navin some future-telling talking trees, he rushes to Demon Mountain due to one of tree's vision of Emily falling to her death. Meanwhile, while climbing the mountain, Leon shows Emily how to focus her amulet's power with a walking stick. He begins by showing her how to pick up a nut with her amulet without burning it. After mastering this, she moves a bunch of explosives that were in their way. At the same time, the sinister voice of her amulet is growing stronger, and almost makes her injure Leon and leave Miskit. Navin, with the help of Balin and a crew of fighters called the Resistance, are able to turn on the robots again, who begin to travel to Demon Mountain in the robotic house. By now, Emily, Leon and Miskit have reached the top of the mountain, where they find future telling talking trees. The trees explain that whoever came to the mountain would die because they chose the wrong fruit to eat. Using the amulet's power, she finds the fruit that isn't deadly and heads down the mountain. Emily asks Leon what happens to a stonekeeper when the voice completely takes over their body. He explains that they turned to gigantic beasts and that most of them died, except one. That one was an elf and was sent to jail. The elf kept on begging them to kill him, and warned that bad days would come. One day, the elf was using his amulet to break out of prison, and he caused an explosion which killed many, including Leon's father. And that elf grew up to be The Elf King. While the elves travel through Demon Mountain, Luger injures Trellis, believing that he would just stand in their way and seeing him as useless. After burning down the future-telling trees, Luger fights Leon and Emily, and knocks them down into a chasm, but they are saved by the robotic house. Trellis, who woke from his coma tries to stop Luger but is once again injured. When he gets too brutal with the power of the amulet, Luger turns into a gigantic beast, and almost destroys the house, but Emily gives the house extreme power while Navin controls the house to punch Luger 2 times. In the end, Luger is sent into a chasm, Emily's mother is cured and Trellis follows the house, still planning to recruit Emily as the crew tries to stop The Elf King. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Stonekeeper's Curse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
