*The bone glows again along the way.*

"I am mistaken. It is not in the town of Thorn. Rather it is roughly Northeast of it."

"It must be near the border. We will stop at Thorn for rest, then continue onwards." Delves said. *The group nodded in agreement. When they got to Thorn, they went to a local tavern, ate, then slept in rented rooms.*

*Delves has another dream. He is trapped in a black room. Suddenly, a Blades katana comes from no where and stabs you in the face. You wake up due to it.*

*It is mid-morning. Delves wakes the others, except for Shavee, who was already up reading a book. The group leaves the tavern and heads northeast of Thorn.* "Tell me when we are close," Delves says to Mirkrilaar. *As they walk, Delves considers his dream and is deeply concerned. Delves tells the group of his dream and warns the group to be extra cautious.*

*The group stumbles upon a swampy area covered with vines like a jungle. There are two piles of leaves split between a hole in the ground. The leaves look like they were moved.*

"Someone has been here recently," Delves says. *The group nods in agreement then move forward, down the hole.*

*The hole leads to a tunnel, earth-made. It goes further down about 50 more feet and leads to a wide room with a door at the end. A Blade's warrior guards the enterance.*

"Hello sir, what are you doing here?" Delves asks. Pretending to not know that the person is a Blades warrior.

*He look at you seriously.*

"Its none of your concern. You shouldn't be down here anyways."

Mirkrilaar

*He look at you seriously.*

"Its none of your concern. You shouldn't be down here anyways."

"Shouldn't be down here? On the contrary, you shouldn't be down here. We are argonian citizens on an archaeological expedition. You are trespassing in our country, a serious offence. So, unless  you want to draw attention to yourselves, I suggest that you tell me who you are and what you are doing here." Delves says seriously, hoping that the Blades buys his story.

*The Blade shrugs*

"You may be citizens, but you're still a part of the empire are you not? We can go where we please as we have the authority to do so. Therefore, you follow imperial laws. And our law is, you're not allowed down here. So I suggest you go back the way you came, as this doesn't concern you."

'How did I know he was going to say that,' delves thinks to himself. "Listen, we are going to enter this structure. It is up to you to decide if we will enter it with or without your consent."

"No, you're not!"

*He places his hand on his katana.*

"No, you're not!"

*He places his hand on his katana.*

*Keerus draws his sword and steps forward. Delves draws his sword and steps behind Keerus. Sheeva stands at the back of the group, with a healing and destruction spell ready. Moves stands ready between Sheeva and Delves.*

"Three against one? Ha! Still doesnt seem fair."

After 3 months, Elrond awakens, confused. He comes outside and at the breath of fresh air, it all comes back to him clear. The bones. The wish. The staff. The word. 

The word.

The word fills his very being, he looks at his hand. Completely healed. Something felt... odd... Apon removing his glove he saw the word. Starting at the wrist and extending to about the middle of the palm was written, ever so crudely, Slen.

He realized now Mirkrilaar's wish. And how he planned to regenerate himself.

I am a tool. A plow. These bones were seeds. Mirkilaar was the crop. At harvest the worker gets his pay.

He looked up now, midday. And shouted unto the heavens, 

"Zu'u fen bo pah lok do taazokaan! Drun pah hin qethhe ahrk vokrii hin lot kos! Vos zu'u kos fin haal wah siiv hin SLEN!"

And he followed the now again buzzing gyro back to keizaal. Bromjunaar.
