Chapter 9: Puzzle of Fire

Trish stared at the sword. The tip was only a few inches from her face. She risked a quick look over the edge of the cliff. Sharp cowered in the cart as it swayed gently back and forth on the rope.

“I’m not here to take any treasure from you,” she said through gritted teeth. “I don’t even know what treasure you’re talking about.”

Aziz shook his head sadly. “Sure. That’s exactly what a thief would say. I would have respected you more if you’d come clean.”

“I’m telling the truth! Now pull Sharp up here and stop pointing that sword at me.”

Aziz waited a long moment before speaking, like he was trying to decide what to do next. “If you’re not here to steal the treasure, why are you here?”

Trish thought about that for a moment. Where to even begin? “There were these bandits who came to my village. They stole a map from a mine in my town. I heard them say it was going to help them bring the world to its knees. I caught a glimpse of the map, so I know it’s leading them here.”

Aziz’s eyes narrowed. “What else did they say? Did they mention treasure?”

Trish glanced at Sharp again. The poor guy looked pathetic sitting there in the cart. “I don’t know…something about finding the Blade of the Sea. I didn’t understand. Would you please just pull Sharp up?”

Aziz went pale. “Did you just say Blade of the Sea?”

“Yes. They think whatever is in this temple is going to help them find it.”

Aziz lowered his sword. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Again with this Blade of the Sea thing? It’s like I’m cursed.”

“You’ve heard of it?” She wanted to keep him talking. Now that his sword was lowered, maybe she could rush him and push him over the edge.

“I’ve heard of it all right,” he said with a sigh. “And I was kinda hoping to never hear of it again. I came here to find an ancient treasure. What are the odds it would have to do with this?” He paused, then said, “These bandits think something here will help them find the Blade of the Sea?”

“Yes! That’s what I’ve been saying.”

“Okay,” he said. “Here’s the deal. If you promise to help me get this thing before these bandits do, I’ll pull up your wolf.”

Trish raised an eyebrow. As long as they were making deals, she might as well see how far she could push it. “And if we do find it, who gets to keep this ancient item?”

“I do,” he answered quickly. “That’s not up for debate. But I don’t want to take over the world or anything. I just don’t want the bad guys to get it. Agreed?”

Trish thought for a moment. All she cared about was that the object didn’t fall into the wrong hands. She would have some time to determine whether Aziz was in the wrong hands category. “Fine.”

As Aziz pulled up Sharp, he said, “I’ve been searching this temple for two days.
