“Where is it? Where is the place? You have seen it, haven’t you?” asked Strider.

“Yes, I have seen it. I don’t know the name of the place or anything, but, I think I somehow know the path that leads to the weapon. Let’s go and retain It.” said Walter.

Elena was still concerned about Walter’s health. The ash leaves might have sucked out all the blood and left a scarring tissue on his body, but he wasn’t yet completely ready or healed or in shape to move out and travel. She knew talking into him wouldn’t do much good, so she decided to go with him and look after him throughout the journey.

“How long do you think you will be?” asked Feiin.

“Not long. It’s almost nearby…will be back in one and half hour—two tops” replied Walter.

Elena, Walter and Strider rode off in hopes of obscuring the only weapon designed to kill Phantom. Zeina and Feiin were more than tired of their journey to and back to Phelut village. They decided to rest for a while and both lay down on chairs in Mary’s hut.

Meanwhile, Phantom was disturbed and was walking erratically. He was flaked and disorganized. He scratched his head, laughing deliriously. Boug came and asked,

“What is it? Walter is dead, isn’t he?”

Phantom turned around and screamed,

“No he is not! That is the problem. I should’ve killed him, right then and there. I don’t know why I left him to die.”

“How do you know he is still alive?” asked Boug.

Phantom smiled and said, “Phiara told me. And apparently, he’s off in search of the weapon that Mary used to kill me the first time. But, don’t worry; the kid isn’t as strong as Mary was. He cannot drive that scalpel in me, but I will drive it in him. Walter has to die; Phiara said that if Walter doesn’t die, the abstraction of the hem or the line that differentiates two realities cannot be broken. I need to kill him, and I most certainly will.”

Boug was almost sorry that he had asked an insane wizard something concrete. He scoffed and tilted his head congeniality. He went inside to see Layle training the army of Phantom. Layle stood in a suit, as always, and commanded and trained the troop’s new fighting techniques.

Walter led the way towards the weapon that could possibly kill Phantom, behind him followed Elena and Strider. After riding for a while, Walter stopped near a mountain cave, almost as same the one were paradox was situated. Around it were various herbal trees covered with autumn leaves. He stabled his horse by a tree and went inside the cave; Strider and Elena followed him eyeing each other. Walter entered the cave and wasn't profound of the vast place. He was shocked to see the place being so boundless and capacious. For it would be even more difficult for him to find the weapon he was inquiring on. The three of them walked around rotating their  all around and almost admiring the sculpture and vastness of the place. At every other end there was a weapon hanging on the walls, but none of them were the one Mary used almost 30 years ago. Walter just went on going straight as somehow he was connected and drawn to the scalpel. After driving straight for a while, Walter reached the room that supposedly contained the weapon. The room had no doors like any of the rooms in there. All rooms were exposed and various weapons hung on the walls. Walter entered the room to see three bald monks sitting on the floor who looked like they were guarding the scalpel. They seemed like one of the earliest Benedictine monks wore clothing consisting of white or grey habits which were the colours of un-dyed wool. Walter cleared his throat and asked,

"I'm Walter. I'm in need of the weapon you protect. It is necessary that I attain it in hopes of killing a dark wizard and relinquishing his ideas of erasing the line that divides realities."
