I opened the pouch at my waist, checking first to make sure I hadn't broken the mirror Metheeka had given me. Gazing into it, it blurred for an instant and then cleared to show Kiya, Lynn, Hypatia, and Polgara being very domestic in a beautiful little cave. I giggled when I saw Wolfy go bounding through the image chasing a little BG. Everyone looked happy and I told myself that that was all that mattered.
Then I pulled out the long forgotten scroll, remembering the quest we had been given.
"Ahem, everyone! I think we need to read this. We're supposed to do this or a lot of people will die."
When I saw I had everyone's attention I started reading:
[color:"orange"] Seven Talismans.
Seven Scrolls.
Seven Wizards.
Nine Dread Trolls.
The Circle of Evil and Chaos will Rule
When moons converge on Mount Dooms' peak.
Each Wizard's Talisman will be the tool
To free the Trolls: one each week.
No native soul can wield the art
To break this Fate so vile and viscious.
But three will come from a world apart
The first they'll tame is named Aloicious.
