Chapter Eighteen

The magnitude of the crisis was growing by the minute. They now had two weapons that were top priority to recover, and Wilk was only half done with his recap of the talismans. Banyon was very concerned. He suddenly realized that his plan would require some luck.

“Let’s get to the remaining weapons,” he demanded grimly.

“Well, the good news is that the rest of the weapons are all part of one overall armament,” Wilk stated. “As a result, they should all be in the same place.” He added, “The bad news is that it may be the most powerful of all the Orion weapons. And it has recently been activated as well.”

“Great,” Loni muttered sarcastically and rolled her eyes.

“Does it have a name?” Banyon asked to move the long-winded Wilk along.

“It is unique to Poland,” Wilk replied. “It is called ‘The Magic Belt’.”

“Why is The Magic Belt unique to Poland?” Loni inquired as she wrote the name on the paper.

“Legend has it that some crafty thinker put the belt together around sixteen hundred,” Wilk started. “He combined eight of Orion’s weapons on one belt. It’s actually more of a sash,” he added. “But the idea was that a single knight would have an entire arsenal on him as he went into battle.”

“So you’re saying someone from the Society of Orion in Poland put it together, right?” Loni asked.

“I’m not sure, it was before my time, but I think that it might have been someone from our fold,” Wilk replied. It irritated Loni that he always threw out a disclaimer whenever talking about the weapons.

“What can you tell us about The Magic Belt?” Banyon pleaded.

“It was passed around among many nobleman and knights from that period on. It eventually fell into the hands of the noblemen Casimir Pulaski, who took it to the colonies to fight for freedom during the American Revolution.”

“You mean ‘the father of the American cavalry’?” Banyon asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Wilk answered. “He used it many times during battles. He also used it while scouting for the revolutionary army. Anyway, he passed The Magic Belt to Thaddeus Kościuszko in the middle of the war for independence because he was going to the Southern front and decided he didn’t need it anymore.”

“He died during the siege of Savannah,” Banyon pointed out.

“And Kościuszko survived the revolution,” Wilk said. “When he returned to Europe, he created an uprising in Poland that was named after him, but was defeated and exiled himself back to America. He was banned from Poland. A price was put on his head. In his later years, he returned to Europe where he worked tirelessly to fight for freedom of Poles. On his deathbed in Switzerland, he passed the belt to Jakub Banyon. Your ancestor brought it back to us. That was when he started the journal.”

“Why?” Banyon asked.

“Kościuszko didn’t know how to make all the weapons work. The sash contained writing, and instructions on the back, but was very faded and in ancient Greek. Jakub decided that he needed to find out how each weapon worked and write it down for posterity.
