Pendleton woke up after a few hours in the cell. Timothy gave him the run down of what had happened while he was out.
"And after that he asked why Rusteel was after this thing he said, Clarent I think." Timothy said.
"Clarent?"
"Yeah I nev-"
"Clarent is what we are here to get. It is the first part of the sword." Pendleton said as he cut him off.
"What is Clarent?" Asked Timothy.
Pendleton started telling the Legend of the Four Swords. He explained the power inside the swords and the real purpose of the Sahalan Civil War.
"We were the original ruling family and we wanted the throne back but Zhen Su was searching for the swords. Locked within each is a portion of Sahala's spirit. With the right spell and all four swords he could release him. The time of darkness would start all over again." Pendleton finished.
"Then why are we going to collect all four parts? It seems like we're just doing his job for him." Timothy asked.
"When all four parts are brought together and taken to the temple below the castle they join together to create the Legendary Sword. When it is in that form it banishes evil and Zhen Su's spell won't take effect."
"So we need to collect all four parts fighting his goons along the way, and then storm the castle that is now his and make it to the lowest level all without losing one part of the sword. Did I miss anything?" Timothy said as he crossed his arms.
"You forgot to mention that we're in prison for piracy and will most likely be hanged by tomorrow morning."
"Well aren't you a ray of sunshine." Timothy mumbled.
"You brought it up."
