I guess Nero thought I wasn't listening to him but his words describing his vision brought more clarity to the words from the scroll.

I stared unseeing in the real world, walking blindly after the others. Nero's telepathic abilities must be growing I thought with a shiver. I could 'see' what he had seen and these places truly seemed to reflect the power of their evil masters. For that must be what these places were.

I shook myself, and fastened my eyes on Nero again. "I think that Aloicious must be in that castle where we found Lynn." I glanced at the chimera. "When he finds his beast comes to his call no more he will be enraged and chase us even harder than before. We need his talisman I am sure, but I don't know if we're ready to face him."

I glanced worriedly up at Nero, "Do you think he will go after Kiya and the others if he doesn't find us?"

I looked around at our ragtag group, "We need supplies badly. but those of us who came into this world together..." I frowned because this was getting confusing, I knew we had come here together, but from where and how I didn't know. "Remember we all have our faces on a wanted poster. We may have to let Jurak and Womble and Jolie get our supplies for us." I chewed on my lip for a moment, "Or we must be disguised."

I took a deep breath and changed the subject back to our quest, "It's just a guess about the poem, but I'm afraid if we don't get the talisman's from the wizards in time they will free some great invincible trolls."

I rolled the scroll open and glanced at it again, "It definitely says Aloicious. Maybe if we're well disguised in town and ask around carefully we'll be able to find something out."
