*************************************************************************

Lina fingers traced the moss covered walls down the dark corridor. Her mind was foggy thinking about Sirge. In the image Sirge wore ripped and tore clothes, he looked like a peasant or a slave. Maybe it was because of the ripped clothes that these thoughts came to minds, but she couldn’t help think that Sirge was treated badly for no reason.

There was light ahead of her and Lina pushed away thoughts of Sirge and started thinking of ways to get out. She stopped when she found it was a dead end, but on the wall was a carved picture.

The image was of a knight in armour which seemed to gleam. When she got closer she could see the armour which covered the whole body of the person was made from sliver. She took a step back to look at the full image again. The image was three time taller than Lina and was a rectangle. It only seemed two of lina’s arm spans across but it was still huge. The knight was holding a sword, made of gold and silver. The sword seemed to be the main item in the picture.

Around the edges of the picture there were creatures all trying to grab hold of the sword. The creature intermingled with on other but there were six main pointes around the sword which had only one type of creature. There were two points on each long side and one point on each short side making six different types of creature grabbing for it.

Lina could identify a few, on the top short side there was some circles and other small creatures she guessed these were fairies. On the bottom long side opposite of each other was what seemed to be vampires and werewolves.

The vampires were on the left side and were hold glasses full of liquid which Lina guessed to be blood. Some had fangs sticking out from their lips.

The werewolves were men and women covered in fur or wolves.

Behind the legs of the knight was a moon its rays fell on the bottom three creatures. From this Lina guessed these were creatures of the night which made sense. Behind the knight’s head was a sun, and Lina guessed the top three were creature of day.

“Well, well, well, I guess you found the dwarfs picture of the sword of worth.” A voice said from behind her. Lina span around to see Alex grinning at her.

“Not you again! I don’t want to be a vampire you go tell Ralf that!” she yelled at him.

“I don’t heed Ralf’s words anymore”

“Why wouldn’t you? You’re a vampire, right?”

“Wrong”

“Werewolf?”

“Guess again” he was leaning up against the moss covered wall enjoying himself.

“Fairy?”

“Do I look like a small ball of light to you?”

Lina shook her head “what are you then?”

“I am a Magi; you may refer to me as a Warlock if you like”

“You can’t be! You tried to drink my blood”

“No that would be the other vampire that died because of it, you just thought I was.”

“What about the evil grins? The fangs? The whole thing about the right equipment?!”

“It was all for show, I was digging up information on Aluna and well you’re what we found.”
