Lutia just smiled at Brigitte and nodded her head. She was happy, she was carefree, and she was... happy! She had her brother again, and that was the whole world for her.
Ewan put Lutia down and told her to collect her things for the trip. Then he left the room and went to the next room and found his sister, Elki, sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her legs to her chest. She looked thoroughly depressed. Ewan went to her and sat down beside her. "A lot has happened," he remarked, not sure why Elki was upset. It was better to start off with such a vague sentence and let her fill in the rest.
"All that power," whispered Elki. "I tried to kill her."
Guilt was now evident on Elki's mind. She was remembering what had happened when she was possessed and tried to kill Brigitte. "And it's still with me!" she said sadly, her eyes welling with tears.
Ewan put an arm around her. "No it's not," he said. "It's with me. Although I'm very much in control."
"Don't you get it?" Elki said to her brother in a sharp whisper, turning to look him squarely in the face. "I know how it works! I know how to kill people!" She turned away and looked at her feet. "The power that exists in every word, the power of a name, everything! I know what it can do! I can... harm people just by speaking to them."

Although Brigitte had stayed in the room with Lutia, she had heard the conversation in the other room. She frowned. "I'll be back in a moment, Lutia," she said. She glided out of the room and went to where Ewan and Elki sat. "Tell me, child," she said, adressing Elki, "do you intend harm on anyone? If not, I see not how you can hurt someone. With a strong mind and an even stronger heart, every darkness can be vanquished. Believe me when I saw that I don't believe that you will bring harm to anyone." Brigitte's archaic crimson eyes looked softly upon the young girl as a gentle smile came to her face. "To be so downcast will only bring poor luck to us on our journey, after all. Be happy, dear girl. You are among friends who desire to help you now." Her voice was calm and relxed as she spoke to Elki. She smiled, hoping the girl would take her words to heart.

Elki tried to take Brigitte's words to heart, but everytime she looked up at her, her mind returned to that incident the night before. "I... I think I know what you mean," she said meagerly. "I... I- don't want to hurt anybody."
At this point, Lutia burst into the room. "Ready!" she yelled, not even bothering to scan the scene. She ran back out and could be heard thumping down the stairs.
"Come, Elki. I think it's time we were off," said Ewan, helping his sister up from the bed. When she stood, she stiffened her resolve and tried to forget what had happened.
"Right," she said. "Let's go."

XtheXhoboXduck Angelicos Flame XtheXhoboXduck Fenrick walked back into Rock's abode. "Is the sword hot?" ''It had time to cool down... But that can still be arranged.'' Rock opened his hand and a big green fireball crackled menacingly. ''Don't worry I won't let it get more wild than this except on the blade... if you really wish it hot...'' Rock said jokingly and clamoed his hand into a fist, extinguishing the flames. ''So, hot or not? And the total's 625... 325 for the 13 arrowheads and 300 for the custom sword... You know that it's a low price, if you compare it to the citiies's prices...'' Rock commented as he got up from the morning star the was nearly completed. Only the chain missing."Hot. It's very low compared to the city." He took his gloves off and waited for the sword to get hot enough that he could mend the Darkness in it. He threw a pouch of 700 gold on the nearby table. "The gold is in that pouch there." Rock pointed an open hand towarsd the sword. It came directly to his hand.'' Just a warning. Close your eyes if you still wanna be able to see a sunrise...'' Rock said. In his other hand, a green fireball appeared. He gently pushed it on the sword until his palm touched the sword. A blast of energy shook Rock's home as flames wrapped around the sword. It turned white in heat. ''There... It's flaming hot...'' Rock said as he showed the sword to Fenrick. The ribbons on the hilt melted away from the metal. Rock's hand sizzled, smoke coming from it, but he seemed as if tehre was nothing.
