An ancient peak sleeps;

Where gods roam and mortals pray

A column will bleed

“A column that bleeds, sounds ominous,” I said.

“That it does, and I have a feeling that we are being directed to use the red glass pane again.”

“According to Edgington, this should be the final poem. Lapisera’s Dagger is within our grasp.”

“I can’t believe how close we are.”

“We are, and that’s all that matters.”

Once we had the dagger, it was a matter of discovering the means necessary to reverse the spell cast on Azulyria. I doubt waving it around was going to cut it, but there was no sense in panicking over it yet. We still needed to get our hands on the dagger first.

“Should we stay here or take off?” I questioned.

“No, we should get out of here and find a safe place to lie low until we can solve the final poem, and if luck remains on our side, our favorite stalker won’t have caught up with us.”

Ah yes, the ever present threat of our female assailant trying to get to the dagger first. I’m surprised that she hasn’t made another appearance. Katherine had us detained for hours, plenty enough time to sufficiently track us down. The lack of activity was unnerving.

“It’s been too quiet Jared. I’m beginning to think that she is plotting her next move, and is letting us wonder if she’s still on our tail.” If this had been a case I was working, the next logical step would be to search for all female Stone Walkers associated with the southwestern United States, since that’s where this all began, but no such database existed. Humans were unaware of creatures like Jared, and that’s how it would stay.

“Don’t let her rattle you Alex. We won’t be stopped without a fight.” He meant to be encouraging˗˗˗I just wasn’t moved by it, not when I could see a line of worry accompanying his optimism. That whole theory about letting us do the heavy lifting was gaining credence. It would be the most efficient way to get what she wants.

A woman in her late fifties with gold streaked auburn hair smiled with a calculating tilt. Her sunglasses and silk scarf gave the illusion of a Hollywood starlet enjoying a stroll in the sun.

“Don’t worry human, I’ll get you when the time is right. Soon I’ll have that dagger, and Jared will have no choice but to join me on my conquest.” A soft chuckle pressed past her lips, drawing a glance from the couple standing nearby. Let them look. My eyes were on the prize that stood a mere 30 feet from my location. The enchantment was still holding strong.

We left the lighthouse with a new wave of determination coursing through our veins. That, and there was a sense of unease that I just couldn’t shake. We would see if the French countryside had more secrets to share.
