"Iron of dark, Amber of light
Silver of Earth, Crystal of Ice
Ruby of Fire, Wind and the unknown
Power withheld within the amethyst."

Halcin heard these words. She heard them as clearly as if someone right next to her had said them, but it came from deep within her mind. She frowned slightly. Where had she heard those words before? There was something familiar about them...

She blinked, once again staring at the Amulets. "Crystal of Ice..." she whispered. Wasn't that what the stone she had found was? Crystal?

Isis had been sitting on her camel for a while now, watching everything that seemed to happen in a matter of seconds. Suddenly the gafyn woman was calling her stupid. This was all just too much for Isis who was boiling with anger. She jumped up the camel landing in the sand softly and walked up to the woman to tell her just what she thought about what had been said to her. Before Isis had the chance to snap back though the woman started quoting the following part of the prophecy as she claimed it was.

"6 mages will rise from the darkness of innocence
Full of the blissful ignorance
They will prevent the war
and stop the terrible inventions taking over
helping bring the world into a new age
where reapers will no longer suffer the horrors of cage." the old woman quoted. Isis couldn't believe her ears.

"Hold on a minute!" she shouted in order to stop this woman who claimed to quote the prophecy.

"That is untrue, not at all what the prophecy says!" Isis shouted not understanding why the woman was not quoting the prophecy correctly.

Isis had read about all of this too many times to not know how the entire prophecy by heart. The trader who had introduced her to the legend of these amulets had given her a old and rare book to her, which contained a lot of information about this. It was as if the person who had written it would have had far more information about the amulets, that was actually true, than anyone had ever imagined.

"But beware, the storm that saves us all
Will not help at all in times to come,
Filled with Reapers, and the new world of Osterdun." Isis spoke to the woman looking straight at her.

Isis mind was running through the pages pf her book which had been left in her room in the palace. Suddenly it all stopped. Isis eyes widened as she saw the page in front of her eyes.

"Falseness will emerge, beware." she thought and looked at the woman with a worried face.

((I'm leaving for Rome on teusday, because I've plotted with silja ect ect I was wondering if she would like to be in charge while I am away? ))

Lery looked at Isis with distain, then back to her amulet with an almost loving expression.
"You're just jealous of our possesion, you just want to have one so you can fulfill this prophecy, don't you?"

Lery sniffed, that girl ...spoiled and rich was all she was, plus, the old gayfyn women had taken her interest since the beginning of the trip anyway.

Tiryn stared, listening to the conversations without really taking in the words. She could feel all the emotions she'd bottled up for so many years rising to the surface; boiling up and threatening to spill over, somehow triggered by this strange and angering turn of events. She fought to keep her mask in place, but it was a losing battle, as could be told by anyone who bothered to look at her.

Magnolia snapped out of her trance like state, she looked at the old woman, still babbling away and insulting them. She felt like slapping her and demanding that she explain what was going on. However she kept her emotions in check, not wanting to waste her energy on the old hag. Instead, she bent down and picked up her amulet, which was still glowing with warmth, and slung it around her neck. Zelda leaped onto her shoulder, and she walked away from the group once more, drawing her blankets around her.

((Sure thing, I'd love to do that If you have any further things to point out which I might need to know of PM them to me, unless me meet on msn.))

Isis couldn't believe her ears. They actually seemed to believe this old hag foretelling something totally untrue. And on top of it all a girl commented on what Isis said in a very rude way. Isis was boiling with anger by now, she had never been this frustrated before. She knew that she had to stop this somehow, but at the moment she got blinded by her anger, just standing there in pure fury.

Halcin clutched her Snow Hare closer to her, a frightened look on her face. Her gaze flicked quickly from Alean to Isis, and back to Alean many times. Then she said her first words out loud that weren't a whisper for the whole journey.

"I don't trust you, or you. I don't trust the Amulets. It was them that caused us to be captured, and put into slavery. This is only proof of it. The Gods are punishing us! Why can't you see that? I don't care about them, for they are things of evil. I... I just want to go home!"

Her last sentence was said chokingly, and she smothered her face in her hare's fur to hide the tears.

Blitz tuned out of the conversation a long while back. It did not really concern him, or thought it didn't, so he turned his back and looked around at the desert setting.

He heard the voices behind him get angrier and angrier, at that exact moment, he noticed the guards were dead, and he saw his one and only chance to escape. He turned around, and as he did, it was like an unknown cue, as the amulet bearers heeded each other, and pick up their own amulets. He thought he had best do the same, and snatched his from the pit.

He noticed that they all were still in shackles except the royal girl on the camel, and noted that another pair of guards had spotted them, and also noticed the dead guards on the barren desert ground. It was about midday or so, and the sun was scalding hot. Blitz's clothes were sticking to him, and the he felt an overwhelming thirst overpower him.

First thing on his agenda was to break free of the shackles. "Hmm. If the myths are true, then the amulets should be able to..." and his thought went on, but only physically, and not mentally. He laid the Amber stone on a flat surface of sand and rock. He took his shackles and smashed them on the luminous stone. They broke in two. He did the same with his leg shackles, and he was finally uncuffed. He stretched his wrists and ankles, and then checked the stone for any damage. It seemed to be like new, infact, it always seemed to be like new. He pocketed the amulet, and discarded his jacket.

He still heard the others around him arguing, bickering, and denoting each other, but he just ignored them, as it looked like he was the only slave so far that had been free of his or her chains. The craving for liquids rose up again, and he was no even more desaturated than before. He quickly walked towards the royal girl and her camel.

In the midsts of her anger, Blitz ignored her, and abruptly interrupted her sentences, phrases, and paragraphs. "Do you think we can share this thing? I can sense water nearby, and if I'm wrong, usually animals know where a good source of food, water, and shelter are." he asked the girl, who was infact still fuming.

While Isis stood there, yet again insulted by a few other slaves the one she had helped today with his amulet stepped out of the crowd and spoke to her. At that moment Isis got rather dumbstruck. One of the slaves? Actually speaking to her? And not calling her stupid or rich?

She stood there for a few seconds, just looking at the slave with wide eyes as if she did not really believe he was even there. Finally she gathered herself and replied:

"Uh.. er.. yes! I mean, you're right, I think." she said stumbling upon her own words.

She reached into the small baglike creation she was carrying and took out a piece of the cactus she had collected earlier.

"Here, take this, though water and food might be near, you will still need this for the constant heat." Isis said and held out the piece for the slave to grab.

"We need to stop this madness somehow." she added.
